Sorry bout the double post, but Steve's post wasnt there when i last looked. And yes that was what I was trying to say. And yes, I would be upset if Myles sung a Creed song.

Steve said exactly what the point is. AB didn't find a 'replacement' for Stapp. Myles won't be singing any Creed songs. He's not Stapp's 'replacement'. He's the lead singer for a NEW band. When Keith Moon died, The Who tapped Kenny Jones as a replacement drummer. They were still The Who. The didn't break up at the time. Creed broke up. And it's just too soon to think of hearing Stapp sing Creed with someone playing Tremonti's melodies and Flip's drum beats.

Also, just to set the record straight, I'm not saying Stapp can't play Creed songs. He can if he wants. I don't care. My point is that he shouldn't play Creed songs. I'm not telling Stapp what to do, I'm just voicing my opinion on this topic. Like fluttergirl said, I'm not trying to make anyone agree with me. Myself, and others who agree, are simply trying to get those who disagree to at least understand our point of view. It seems that many "die-hard" Stapp supporters do not.

Well said.

link to the interview please?

Well said, man!

He is looking like Axel and his new Guns n' Roses...

Who? Scott?

No, Scott Weiland haha.

Besides, if Stapp is doing Creed songs, it sounds like lack of creativity to me. I know he has potential to do more songs that are as good as his previous work with Creed. Granted it won't be so good guitar wise, but lyrically and vocally, yes.

My some of these threads are intense!! LOL Well I think a lot of the CREED songs are personal to Scott...if they are a part of him or important to him then let the man do what he needs to do!!

And are they not personal to the guys in alter bridge?
Are they not personal to th fans as songs collectively played by those four (five counting Brett) guys?

It can be viewed in so many ways that the ultimate person to choose what will be done is God himself. And Stapp still sings w/ the strength with those songs. I get you where you want the same background music and all, that that is sort of disrespect for the fans and AB, that Stapp may be wrong for doing so, but those songs shouldn't die either cuz their messages are still important. I don't want it to just be where I have to buy the greatest hits CD or expect the radio to play old hits to hear those messages.

I am sure that some of the songs are personal to the other guys as well, and they have the right to play them, just choose not too. There is no real right or wrong here just a matter of choice for them as well as for us, we can like the idea or we can hate it ya know. Just working in this industry for so long I guess i tend to see both sides of the coin and try to have a fair view of it.

Amen!!! if the man chooses to play them then so be it, if anyone disagrees or doesn't like it then they can choose not to go see him when he tours.

yea well i dont really mind, but as sum1 did say(cant rememba hu) he has alot of his own potential... but in the end i guess it would be better 4 stapp 2 b doin that a lil more in the future... memories... :( and :)

What?
Thjis isnt about God, its about fans not feeling its the right time for this. Waiting a few years wont kill anything, so I dont know where that came from. And it was hardly background music. There isnt background music in a three man band, where only two play instruments. And there are still CDs and such to hear the songs on. Its Stapp having three new ppl, less than a year after the breakup, playing Creed songs.
All hell would break loose if AB played WAWO.
Why is it ok the other way around?

:killtard: :thewave: :shit:

awesome first post dude.

and welcome to the boards. And, fluttergirl, you are absolutely right. I don't understand it either. But, hey just look at it like this -- at the rate Stapp is going, none of us will still be alive to hear him play Creed songs on tour! Because I'm starting to hardly believe it will happen in my lifetime!

im more confused about why a post i made in a thread from november is being quoted with no actual comment, but hey. lol. whatever.

If Stapp wants to play creed songs let him be. If AB aint gonan play any he can do what he wants. Ye he wrote half the lyrics to like all their songs anyway and along with his new solo stuff thats comin out in august alittle creed here and there would be gr8 at his concerts IMO.

Well, at the rate he's going, he probably won't tour until next year, so maybe I'll be over my not wanting him to do Creed songs without the rest of Creed.

Hmm ye proberly will be until next year until we see him touring. Im getting alittle annoyed at how long hes been taking but when he eventally does release his album in August i would of thought of him touring maybe late september/ early october but we will just have 2 wait and see..

I personally could care less. He's not reinventing the wheel, the songs have been written and documented. So if one goes to see him, the music will sound like Creed and the singer will sound like Creed.

Yes but if the people are creed fans its good rite ?

for the sake of respect to his fellow band members, i think that he should refrain from playing creed songs. Imagine this. You are in a rock band, and you wrote a lot of the music for this band. Well, after a while the band breaks up, and the next thing you know, your one ex member is going out playing all of your music with a different band, and that band is making major bucks from your hard work, the blood, sweat, and tears you put into that music. They are basically capitalizing off of something they didnt write. Stapp needs to rethink that angle, because honestly, it would create less problems for him, and i think that in the long run he is going to attract a lot of media dislike for what he's going to do. Im not trying to be a dick, but i see his career going down the drain completely if he starts doing creed songs all the time. Its a matter of opinion, and i know im opening pandoras box when i say stuff like that, but its how i feel. I dont want a big argument, and to be told that im a moron, because its how i feel about whats going to happen to him.

If that were truely an issue, the rest of the members would do what is necessary to stop him.

the latter of the two points is correct, but i couldn't disagree more w/ the former. after watching his performance at the NASCAR awards, I hope to hell that he doesn't play any Creed songs. Higher just plain sucked there. for one, it wasn't Tremonti. guy didn't play like Tremonti, didn't sound like Tremonti, just wasn't Tremonti.

Can I GET AN AMEN BROTHER!!!!

Scott sounded great, vocally, at those Nascar awards. But the music........horrible. Those guys could not play Higher. Either they didn't practice it much, or Higher is just too difficult for them. It sounded nothing like Tremonti. If you're gonna perform that song(or any other Creed song) get a band that at least can play that song. Otherwise, it'll sound bad no matter how great the vocals are.

Right on, Titan.

completly agree. i dont think stapp sounded bad, maybe the best performance after Creed area...but the band sounded awefuly bad. Noone can replace Tremonti, Phillips and Marshall anyway.

Yeah, you are right. No one can really replace Tremonti, Phillips or Marshall. But, if Stapp is going to perform Creed songs on tour, he needs to at least have a band that can play the songs decently. I can honestly say that, if I practiced Higher enough(and I am a novice at Guitar, by the way) and thoroughly worked on it, I could have at least performed it decently. Not as good as Tremonti, but at least a decent performance GoneBlind's performance of it stunk.........and they're professional musicians!

yep. you see, when Marshall (one can be as good as Marshall) was replaced by Brett even i wasnt happy cos he left, i though he did a great job as a bassist. now i suppose that stapp will have a decent band when he starts turing tho. cos i cant really image a crappy band playing such a awesome songs. it would be like destroy a Picasso paint....ooohhh i dont wanna image it, lol.

Yeah, agreed. He better have a good band backing him, or else the concerts won't be as good as they could be. Stapp vocals + decent backing band=Awesome concert. All Stapp needs to do is get a good band in there and he'll be fine. He has the connections to get a good band, so I don't see why he couldn't do that. We'll see, though.

well..... yeah.... you've got that and the God Bless America in game 4 of the world series

Aren't they (Gone Blind) the band that Scott is recording with and will most likely be touring with? I hope they'll be good. Maybe they were deliberatly trying to do it differently to not copy the original and we are just not used to it??

You mean they might've been trying to suck? Yeah, that's a good sign. :rolleyes:

Haha. You've definitely got a point there, Agent D.:laugh:
