So what do you think of Scott Stapp minus Creed?

[bull]

I've heard a couple songs and it sounds a bit washed out, ie., missing the edge. Like Creed when they just woke up.

[Orange_Crush]

Meh...I got a little tired of Creed after a while.  Stapp's got a great set of pipes, but all his songs seem to sound the same after a while.

[Johnny SixPack]

I was never fond of the Stapp infection with or without Creed.

Too much of a Jesus complex in all of his interviews and especially so in videos and pix.

Not denying his ability to sing one bit though.

On the flip side of that, Celine Dion is blessed with an amazing voice, but I can't stand her either.

Something about them just annoys the h*ll out of me.

I'll take Mark Mothersbaugh's voice over Mr. Stappylococcus' any day.

Dying was a great career move for Morrison.

Yup...hell, their most popular song wasn't even written by him.

Besides, his poetry was absolute garbage...one of my professors once referred to it as "doggerel" which is perhaps the worst insult to a poet.

I wouldn't go that far...it has SOME merit.  Mostly as a tool for reading yourself to sleep.

[andy74]

yes, but jim is better dead than stapp alive

Gee, no intolerance here huh?

it's because Jesus was black.

By "Jesus complex" he means that Scott Stapp thinks he's Jesus.

[ChargerBill]

Maybe if you grew up in the Ghetto he was black...

I guess I should have asked this: Do you mean he thinks he's Jesus, or he just sings about Jesus too much? Because I understand the first one, but the second one just smacks of intolerance.

[ChargerBill]

Great OC, we posted at the same time.

Well, I didn't realize that...then I agree, he is a freak.

Not black, but he was a dark brown...hell, he looked almost Mexican!

[ChargerBill]

Not black, but he was a dark brown...hell, he looked almost Mexican!

What did you say to Him when you saw Him? I mean, you did personally see Him right? Because the hundreds of scholars and thousands of Holy men who have tried to figure out what He looked like have been unable to come to any conclusion....you're a lucky man.

We went to college together, Back when he could turn water into beer...he was a big hit at all the parties.  What was really cool was the fact that he saved us a bunch of money on food.  We fed everyone at all our parties with only two pizzas and a bucket of chicken.

I never liked Creed or Scott Stapp

[Chargen69]

I liked the Creed sound (created by the guitarist and drummer) never really cared for Scott.  Did anybody catch him singing the nation anthem for the Homestead race this Sunday?  He totally screwed up the "Land of the free and Home of the Brave" ending.  He forgot the Words!!!!!!!!  kinda mumbled it through three or four words then picked up on Home of the Brave.

Very bad

Bill, it was most definitely the 1st one.

I've got nothing against Christian music and will admit to a Petra tape sometime back in the mid "80s.

My problem is his Jesus complex.

Take for instance the outstretched crucifixion pose he was always copping in the Creed vids.

Even in his interviews he was way too self-important.

Signing about God/Jesus/The Holy Ghost (not you Everett) is great.

No issues with that at all.

It's Mr. Stapp's personal idiosyncrasies that makes me dislike him.

 I dunno about creed a few songs are ok,.. But the Christian Rock band I really Like is KINGS X,.. THOSE BOYS ARE BAD!!

Oh yeah!

They are great, Strat!

Bassist used to play a 12 string in fact.  

Pretty sweet!

[suburbanfireman]

I agree - he butchered the national anthem last sunday.  I realize that the song is not that easy to sing, but he is supposed to be a professional singer.  It seems like NASCAR cannot get anyone to sing the anthem properly.  Everyone want to "jazz" it up with their own personal touch.  Trace Adkins (spelling?) and Josh Turner have been the only decent singers I have heard sing the anthem lately.

[Charger71]

I think Stapp should suck on a throat lozenger.   He is a decent entertainer, but doesn't seem to remember the lyrics to our National Anthem.

As far as good performances... I thought the trumpet player a couple of weeks ago was great.

I never really cared for their music so I never paid attention to him...didn't know he was like that.
