Jakarta Videos

Post by abw1987 »

Our of curiosity I looked up Creed's recent show in Jakarta on YouTube, and watched a few videos. I was pretty blown away by how passionately the crowd sang along to some of the hits. You can tell a lot of these fans are genuinely excited to be seeing Creed perform live for the first time. Watching these videos almost brings me back to the early days of Creed's rise to the top. Check them out below.

Also, a couple of the video titles are pretty hilarious. :lol

:lol

I didn't even care so much that the guitarist messed up the order. But what were all those people running around in the background picking things up off the floor? :lol

That said, Scott sounds really good in this video.

Now that's a crowd! If only American crowds were like that.

PS: Scott sounds great in that acoustic vid despite the horrible playing :lol why?? because it's in the correct key. The guys need to raise up a few of the tunes if you ask me. He may not have the vocal strength to pull off some of the tougher tunes but easier songs like WAWO, One, & My Sacrifice he could nail no problem in Drop D/Standard.

Absolutely my biggest gripe about the comeback tour. Stuff like Are You Ready was almost unrecognizable to me when they come in playing it in a flat key.

Those do look like Marshall's I wonder if something happened to the mesa's or if he's switching his rig. Still has the fenders so it could be anything.

I don't understand the suggestions that Scott will sound better if the songs are tuned back up. Scott obviously struggles with his upper register, and downtuning the songs helps mitigate that.

That said, I take no issue with the complaints about the downtuned songs sounding less like the album versions.

I don't think he would struggle on the easier songs... I understand he can't sing like he used to. WAWO sounds great in the original key though. Here is another example:

Thats the problem.... People here don't understand half the things they want to comment on. Don't get me wrong, but let me explain to you why Stapp will sound absolutely fine in the original key. Stapp had been singing all these songs on a particular key his entire life. His voice has been conditioned that way. The vocal chords are like any other muscle and muscles have memory. Its a disbelief that if a vocalist struggles on a higher scale, downtuning the instruments will always help, technically it might just help but thats not a given. Infact, downtuning the instruments and lowering the scale can make it more difficult for a vocalist to sing because the placement of the voice/breathing might change. Ive noticed Stapp singing a few songs here and there on the original key, and am sure he can easily pull it off. People around him don't realise that or they just dont care.Stapp had vocal issues in 2009 and that could have been the reason to downtune the instruments as it sure did kinda help Stapp to atleast sing(well not exactly;)) and reach a few notes, but that definitely wasn't the solution to the problem. Personally, I have tried to sing a few songs on lower tunings and trust me, its much difficult to sing most of them on lower tunings.Vocals/Singing/Voice is not a very easy concept as people have come to believe.. There is a lot more involved in it than most people can ever understand.

Anyways, if the band ever comes to these forums, Its time to tune your guitars back to the original key and let Stapp really sing the way he used to.

I would love to say Scott is ready for that but he's not imo. Maybe back in early 2010 when he was in top form but he still has work to do. One more point about this though.... I notice when he sings downtuned songs he seems to add a lot more throat & garble if you know what I mean. That's what he's known for I guess but it's overkill if you ask me.
