Maybe Mark is still really angry and bitter about Scott. That would be my guess. Maybe hearing the man's voice still makes his blood boil, which might account for his not wanting to listen to Creed songs. In the rock world, you can never really say never, but right now, a reunion seems unlikely.

Re: Stapp Confesses
 

if they ever do reunite, ill fly all the way to US to see em in Australia. like 5 shows at least lol

Re: Stapp Confesses
 

What's the matter with you? You know Mark only put songs he loves on his records! It can't have been the money, and you know it! He can't stand listening to Creed because towards the end of Creed it was a negative experience for him. And that wasn't his fault! I think it's pretty clear Stapp is the one to blame for that. I'm actually quite sure Stapp is the one to blame for most parts. (My opinion, no one else has to like it). Yes, Flip and Mark may have done some stupid things. Hey, Brian too! But if it wasn't for Stapp's drug and alchol addiction, and the fact that he did, and still does, behaves like an ass, Mark and Flip would've never found themselves in those situations.

I guess you can say Stapp started it, and Mark and Flip ended it. (And for all you who are gonna turn this around and throw it in my face, I'm not talking about Creed in general. I'm talking about Creed's journey towards the end).

Hello for everyone!!

This tread is really burning...Well I just wanna say that I'm glad that Scott is looking for help. Admit the adction is the first and hard step to stay out of the drugs.

I'm sure the things in the next months will only get better: his voice, his actions and, who knows, his relationship with the other guys. I'm not talking about a reunion, as I can't see it in a near future, but heal some wounds between them would be great.

Peace.

As Alicia wisely said, think of this:

You had a sad and bitter divorce. Now you're married to someone else and you're happier than before. Why would you spend time looking at your previous marriage pictures???

Re: Stapp Confesses
 

^^^There ya go.

Re: Stapp Confesses
 

Very good point.

Re: Stapp Confesses
 

'Cause your name is Scott Stapp...?

Re: Stapp Confesses
 

Maybe he's not truly happy as everyone thinks.

Re: Stapp Confesses
 

Hah, I think Alica was refering to Alter Bridge, not Scott Stapp!

Re: Stapp Confesses
 

I just think, this board as a whole, should at least be happy that the guy has come clean about his problem and seems to be looking for help.

Re: Stapp Confesses
 

Well...if Stapp really show that he's up on his legs again and is through with his problems, then Mark have to forgive him at some point...or has he lost his whole faith in Stapp forever?! If so, then Mark's a very weak man!

Re: Stapp Confesses
 

I am glad. I really hope he stays clean and continues doing whatever it does that makes him happy. I was just annoyed that people were blaming the other members for supposedly not helping him.

Re: Stapp Confesses
 

No one is blaming the other band members for his decisions... but they are criticizing their desires while their bandmate was obviously suffering. I mean, if they really cared and recognized that Stapp needed help... they could have, collectively, decided to postpone the tour in order to encourage Stapp to sober up and rest. How hard is that? Towards the last days of the Weathered Tour, Stapp looked terrible... it was obvious that something was wrong with him.
