In this video, he talks about the birth of With Arms Wide Open.
Weirdly enough, he says he thinks about each one of his THREE kids every time he plays it.
Which means he doesn't think about the one kid if was written for.

A couple of songs from a recent show at Sea World Orlando.

Nah, he's never explained why his voice was so bad in 2009.
Why would he, anyway?
It's a thing of the past, and he's now one of the rare singers who can almost sing as well at 50 years old as when he was in his prime.
Look at the future, and don't dwell on the past.

It's at the 13th minute.
Good performance, as usual.

I'm now wondering when he will start promoting his next album. We haven't seen much of him during the last 3 years.
Maybe he's waiting for his AoA suit to be over before moving on to the next chapter of his career.

Latest Mark quote about this: "It's just a matter of timing for everybody. Everybody's juggling so many projects, we would just have to find a window where it made sense. There's always people talking. We always get calls from people that are interested in putting a show together. But it's toug...

I'm not saying what Stapp did is honourable. He should have tried a least a little more, IMHO. But I have very little respect for the Art of Anarchy guys, especially the twins, who have sued both their singers. Weiland and Stapp were known to have mental issues, and there was a high probability they...

@nagpo: good call about the money and the quality of the material. I guess it was not a good match musically for Stapp, and once he realized the small rooms were far from being filled, he bailed. But in the end, he signed a contract which he should never have. 90 dates for an upcoming band? That sou...

https://youtu.be/asKAfepQOWo It starts at 4:04. John Moyer basically confirms what we already knew. This is not pretty for Stapp. Here's the transcript: And then, for some reason, we decided to do it again with another Scott. We did it with Scott Stapp from Creed. On this record, I did a lot more w...

Whatever happened to the movie where he played Frank Sinatra?

They have a lot of amazing "epic" songs. Yet, most of the songs they play on this tour are radio singles that aren't exciting for the fans or challenging for the band. They even dropped Open your Eyes which had a great crowd interaction and was a perfect set closer. On some previous tours,...

Here's a new 90 minute podcast with Stapp. https://youtu.be/5mxTEdlVxE0 It's a bit boring at times, mainly because of the host who's talking way too much, and being slow at that. Stapp talks a bit about the end of Creed and believes the band could have carried on if mental health issues had been add...

I expect it in August, when they start promoting their second fall European tour. I'm presuming this is sarcasm, or is there any basis to this? What would this be sarcasm? They usually do two European tours in the fall during an album cycle, so 2023 should not be any exception. About the video: eh....

Latest Mark quote about a Creed reunion. "There's always talks — people running ideas back and forth — but we don't know as of yet, 'cause we're so in the deep with this Alter Bridge record that's it's tough to kind of get sidetracked right now. "I'm sure something will happen at some poin...

Tommy Vext made a post about how he hung out with Stapp recently but I doubt it was anything beyond lunch or something Not that many people in the music industry would currently agree to take a picture with him. The dude's got a serious bully reputation. But just like Stapp, he's undenaibly talente...

As a business move, pandering to conservative and patriot folks is a smart move. There is a clear audience for that in today's US music scene. But I, as a fan of his older stuff, find it extremely boring to listen to. It's just cheesy and predictable. None of that stuff sounds genuine to me. You Wil...

I expect it in August, when they start promoting their second fall European tour.

If anyone wonders why Alter Bridge has never gotten the Download headliner spot, you've got your answer. Their setlists are always a bit lazy considering how deep their catalogue is, and they play WAY too many stale singles. They're too nice and predictable as a live band and lack that extra somethi...

Man, that version of Shed My Skin... Reminds me of why I fell in love with this band at first listen all those years ago. It would be even better if Myles said Shed instead of Shat . I know it's been discussed to death, but the way he pronounces some vowels is really weird sometimes. I won't compla...

I'm betting on a new album in 2023.
He's probably waiting on the pandemic to be completely over before releasing an album and heavily promoting it on tour.
This year, he played here and there, which makes me think he was often in the studio.

Cool performance in very good quality.


He should play it from time to time.
