Scott Stapp Needs Our Support.
Return the Favor.

Scott's really having a very rough time right now. Many have said he's been acting a little strange on stage, showing us a side of himself that is uncharacteristic. It appears that this is a *real* time of hardship in his family life.

I am organizing a grassroots campaign to collect as many messages of support to Scott and the band as possible. I will print out all the messages I receive and mail them directly to the band. I expect a very large outpouring of support.

Please go to the following website:

Deadline is DEC 14

Please post this on all Creed msg boards, and email to your friends. PLEASE POST A MSG ON THIS THREAD IF YOU WROTE! It will keep this post bumped.

:crest: Nicholas F. Singh

THANK YOU for taking the initiative and acting on this need! You can count on me to post and let's rally our passion to show our concern and support!

Also, those of you that have children that are Creed fans - please have them write notes too (include their age). Or, what about having the children's cards/letters/drawings be mailed to him?! I think Scott would be really touched by that - there are lots of CreedKids out there - such a joy to see them with their families at the concerts (will pm you with idea Nicholas)

Thank you for this opportunity! I have sent out my message!:D

My message has been sent. Thanks for the link! Great idea!

Just sent along my well wishes. Thanks so much for giving us this opportunity!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I just sent my message. What a great idea!!! This is my first time posting to this board and when I saw this thread I couldn't pass up the opportunity to express the love I have for Scott and the band as a whole. They're truly the best band around and although I haven't had the chance to see them live yet, I hope to next summer after they all get some well deserved rest and relaxation!!

great post and welcome to the board. they are awesome live, it is truely an experience you will never forget.

family matters
 

allthough i think that the message behind this thread is very thoughtful, i think that making a statement such as scott's a mess on stage or he is falling apart is rediculous. ive read a few of the remarks here made about him and if it was me reading these remarks, id be a bit upset. this is what is called speaking before you know the true facts. allthough im sure this is a difficult time for the family dealing with the incidents of the past few weeks. it is a personal family matter and should be kept that way. anyone who wants to do something nice for scott should direct there appreciation towards the foundations the band supports. i.e. wawo...or any of your local agencies that need your help or even your prayers. take care everyone and thanks for listening

that is a great idea. I can get my kids started after I pick them up from school. i heard somewhere that artwork is their favorite thing to receive. i am sure they would be truely touched by some of the kids drawings.

Scott needs our support
 

Just wanted to let you know I sent a letter of love and support to Scott and Creed. This is such a good idea; he really does need as many people around him supporting him during this difficult time. He's always there for us (through his music) so we should lift him up now; also say some prayers for his health and peace.
:peacelove :wub:

Re: family matters
 

I feel what you are saying is thoughtful as well, but just as the person who started this thread, this is how he would like to show support. his idea of what to do may vary from yours and that is okay. we do support the WAWO foundation as well and you would know that if you viewed some of the other threads. and as for facts, it would not matter to me, what was said in the media, if one of my fellow creed fans here, posted the day after a show that scott looked very tired worn out then that is all i would need to give him some support. scott and the band are always doing so much for other people that i feel this idea is PERFECT. they need to know who all they have reached and get some direct support from us. i feel scott needs it right now.

Well, from what people have seen for themselves at the shows, Scott has chosen to make some of his troubles public by alluding to them during his performances. While he may not have spelled out exactly what happened between him and Hilaree, it's apparent he's feeling the frustration of that along with the maniacal scheduling tour the band have been on all year. People directing their goodwill toward the foundations the band supports is a fine idea as well, but I see nothing wrong with sending a little heartfelt message of concern for a band that have done an amazing amount for people just through their music, not to mention their charities and the myriad meet-and-greets along the way. There's nothing wrong with the fans giving back a little love and appreciation.

I agree. We all can support them in whatever way we feel is right for us. There are as many different ways to reach out and show support for the band as there are fans who came to see them in concert this year. We should all do what we feel is the right thing.

Re: family matters
 

Thanks - that's a valid point - the first paragraph on the link does assume a lot, our passion and emotions sometimes do this. NO ONE but Scott really knows the truth. There was a roadie MOnday spitting out stuff that I just did not want to listen to - WHAT IS THE TRUTH? WHO DO YOU BELIVE? We see change on the tour, that is a valid observation - we don;t know the multiple cuauses for what we see, but we all agree that we CARE! Feels good to just do something constructive with those feelings. Maybe the writer could rewrite that first paragraph, in case it would offend Creed staff/members/family,... Take care too.

I do think that assuming Scott is near the point of a breakdown may be going a little too far, yes, and maybe that first paragraph should be re-written a little. But I also think that the intentions are purely good and the idea of showing Scott and Creed our unconditional support is great.

I just posted my own note to him on this site,they say they forward the mail to the celebrity that you write too.And it's posted on the message center.

Great Idea!

Were do we send the cards to what address?

I just sent my message. Funny, I was just thinking last night that I had read somewhere that Scott and the guys sometimes check out fan sites. I thought that if we were lucky enough, they might check out this forum and would see all the posts showing our concern for their well-being! Great idea, VelocityIDP.

Yes! What if we were to widen our care and support, and send out appreciation to the whole band for all their passionate tours this past year! A great big THANKS FOR ROCKING OUR SOULS in 2002! Maybe the focus on all the problems and just Scott, is too narrow, presumptious and less well received. Just a thought. I know how I feel about pity. What if we are overreacting and reading into things too much? Maybe it would be better to blast them with our unconditional love, support and gratitude! A line like, "You guys kicked ass in 2002, now take a break in 03", well - I am not the poetic one here...;)

<b>"You guys kicked ass in 2002, now take a break in 03"</b>

That kind of poetic beauty just brings a tear to my eye. Absolutely beautiful!!:crying: :D

Teri, you're killing me, as usual! SD is right, though, it should extend to the whole band. I as much said so in my message to them. Mark did lose his mother this year, so his year hasn't been a bed of roses, either.

Yeah, that's it DS!"Roses are Red Violets are Blue, Creed stood strong in 2002, now let them take a friggin rest and have a brew!" OK.., not much better, eh? Teri, was that sarcasm? Why don't you have your daughters write up something.

LMAO, SD....I like the brew part:D !

Hey everyone,

Thanks for the many replies on this board. So far, on the website, over 78 people have responded -- and that's just one 24-hour period!

And I have taken some of the posts into consideration. While I still think it is better to show direct and specific support for Scott rather than indirect support for his organizations, I do agree with those who wanted me to re-write the first paragraph.

It was sounding a little tabloid-esque, and that's not my intention. I've heard many very detailed and specific reviews from people regarding Scotts current state on stage -- and I felt justified in starting up this little page.

As fans, we noticed a change in the way Scott has been performing, and judging by some of the things he's said, he's having a rough time. It is NOT our place to assume things and nose around in his family life, but I think it is good for us to show that we're with him in whatever is giving him trouble. We just want to show a bit of support.

My intentions, and the intentions of the people that are writing in -- are nothing more than dedicated Creed fans trying to meet a need.

Please keep forwarding my initial post around! We're getting a great turnout, and I hope it keeps up at this pace!

-Nicholas F. Singh

The best the girls would be able to write is "Creed's da best!" But that would probably do just fine! And I love the new poetry! I'll gladly buy you and the guys a brew!!

Thanks for the kind words and warm welcome, hotforscott! I really appreciate it. I'm also happy to have a place to express my love and appreciation for this band. In a relatively short period of time (this past spring), they've helped make my life better when I'm feeling good and when I hit the rough spots.:angel:

I know what you mean - and great music draws great people! Welcome and the red carpet is being rolled out for you... :angel:

I think this is a great idea.:) I hope we hear a response from the band .:D This is what they need is a good dose of support and love from the people they know who love them:)

An excellent idea.

Your observations raise an interesting point: I wonder if this might mark something of a dark period for Creed and their music?

this is too cute.

Keep em coming in people... you saw the pictures too. I know his condition is temporary, but it must be hard to keep going like that... perhaps that's part of it.

Scott, if you read these boards at all, I really suggest you tell people that you're on medication for the throat issue (I think?) People will be wondering about all the bloating! Even some huge Creed fans don't know what's going on...

Thanks, and please send more mail to Scott via the link on my first post!

lol bloating...that'll make him feel FABULOUS...lol

Well, cmon.... I'm mean it's pretty obvious.

he's still fine as hell to me.

Creed, I LOVE YOU!!! :angel:

Keep those letters coming in...
