Re: The 4th Album - FORTRESS - Discuss The Album Here!

I'd really like to know how much money the artwork dude got for "that".
The fan artwork with a tower that was posted here a few days ago was a thousand times better.

Re: Creed DFP Much better quality

I think Jhenrid is right about Weathered.
One Last Breath and My Sacrifice are good songs, but they were definitely written with a formula in order to be hit songs. Don't Stop Dancing is even worse, and the video still makes me cringe.

Re: Creed DFP Much better quality

I remember someone saying once Myles had a "mouth full of marbles" when he was doing the same kind of voice. :yes No wonder everyone made fun of Stapp back in the day when he kept using that gimmick. Back to the video. Here is Mark's exact quote All music we've ever written has been for us...

Re: Creed 1996 (My Own Prison) 1996 White Rabbit Video

I wonder why bass driven songs have ended up being b-sides on the latest projects. Probably because Mark is the main songwriter and wants all the attention, whether it's conscious or not. The only song where bass is audible in recent release has been Breathe Again, and everybody wanted it off ABIII...

Re: Creed DFP Much better quality

Nice video. Mark seemed as enthusiastic about Creed back then as he is about AB right now. To be frank, I thought Stapp didn't sound that good, and I thought he was better back in those days. Seeing him so close made me chuckle because of all the faces he's making. Also, it was really nice to hear C...

Re: Creed 1996 (My Own Prison) 1996 White Rabbit Video

Thanks for that video. Whenever I hear those old tunes, I can't help but think that the guitar and bass combination was one one of the key elements of Creed's sound. They complement each other perfectly, whereas nowadays, it's all about the guitar for all Mark's projects. Also, I wonder how the audi...

Re: The Official SCOTT STAPP Thread

it's kind of surprising that Stapp is apparently such a right wing conservative when he previously said that he voted for Obama in 2008 It's always been obvious to me that he was a Republican. I also think it's part of the reason the media hates him so much. Being a right wing conservative is "...

Re: Creed.com leads to Scott Stapp now

Re: Creed.com leads to Scott Stapp now

Frankly, I don't know how Mark would react, but if I had to guess, I'd say Erock would have a better shot at convincing him to go back to Creed. I'm not sure Mark would have toured with Creed so much since 2009 if Erock had not been in the band. In a way, he showed his "little brother" wha...

Re: Creed.com leads to Scott Stapp now

In 2009, here is what Stapp had to say about his 2nd solo album : I'm not really thinking about that right now," he says. "It would be irresponsible for me to think about anything but Creed. This band is my first love and a first love that's stood the test of time. It's not hard to step aw...

Good post, man (but next time, split if in paragraphs please). I think you're right about a group therapy. It is absolutely necesseary for Creed's future, but I don't think it's gonna happen for one simple reason : Mark is not emotionally attached to this band anymore. Stapp is, and to an extent, so...

hope his solo album does well and he can play arenas That will never happen in a million years. Stapp as a solo artist will be lucky to fill 2.000 seats theaters. That is his main problem : he's still living as if he made millions with Creed, when he's just an average size solo artist. He's probabl...

Re: Creed.com leads to Scott Stapp now

Another thing which confuses is people's opinions on Mark in this whole situation. People like to say that Mark does Creed for the fans, which I don't dispute to an extent. But what has the Creed reunion actually given us? They rushed to get the half-assed album called Full Circle, which a lot of p...

Re: ODR does not sound like Creed

To an extent, I think Bullets is the first song that shows hints of the Alter Bridge sound. It's very agressive, fast, and it doesn't suit Stapp's voice at all (I always cringe when I hear him talk during the introduction). For me, Bullets and White Knuckles are twin songs, and Bullets doesn't sound...

It's also quite sickening to hear a lot of you posters seem so eager for this band to break up. I don't think anyone in this subforum wants Creed to break up. I think we would all love them to be able to resolve their issues and just rock. We are just stating the obvious based on what we have all w...

That's for sure.
Those ODR songs could have worked for Stapp, but there would have probably been some minor changes to suit his voice (lower tuning, slower pace).
