Marcos - I'm shaking my finger at you :nono: - shame on you :D .

Here I go again - in Scott's defense - I'm pretty sure the absolute final decision to end Creed was made AFTER that interview. That's not to say there wasn't "trouble in paradise" before then, because there was.

i think it was a bit of pr job but he wasen't necessarily lying. we do know the band tried one more time to get the album off the ground in feb but it was basically over by that point. he was showing the best possible picture but it was PR IMO.

stapp's stuff is really intriguing me, whereas i know basically what alter bridge is going to be like give or take. stapp really could go anywhere with his and it will either be great or it will be a major flop. how much of an influence has 7 Aurelius had and how much of the music has being written by the tea party if at all. what lyrical direction has he taken? is he going to have a bunch of girls in the back of a truck and have nelly in the video? these are the questions without answers. ;)

:lolsign: I certainly hope not!

I think there is a lot of unncessary worrying here. Let's just keep an open mind and give whatever Scott has in store for us a chance. The same way most of us are going to give AB's CD a chance.

yeah we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

its getting hot in here and i want to take off all of my clothes.... :D

Once again, music is a personal taste...so if you don't think you would want to spend your money on it, then that is your choice...

same as if AB continues on the way they appear to be doing..and their music/lyrics continue not to move me, i won't be spending my money on their album.

Go Righttttttttttt Ahead!!!!!! ;)

okay.... :D

Right, he's trying something different...with different people. I realize this isn't a Jamie Foxx message board or Slash :) We all know what kind of music Slash is famous for, and Foxx has put out on cd already (I think it's been several years ago though)....so maybe ALL of them wanted to work and get different input.

Maybe Foxx wanted to see what Stapp and Slash had to offer...and vice versa :D. Well, anyway...I think it's great.

i'm sure he has a fair idea what stapp and slash have to offer. has to be good for sales having those names involved, who would care otherwise?

They knew it was over. Everybody here knew it since November. And if you look to Stapp's body language, you can tell he (white) lied. Look how he stares up and left. That's when you lie.

BUT, in Stapp's deffense, I can't nor will blame him. It was just a PR job. At the time of the interview, the break-up couldn't be revealed. So he was right to keep the official word: extended break.

I dunno why they took so much time to announce it, though.

Robyn, I was just teasin' you! :D

I am still confused about that because in the Mtv interview Mark said they didn't decide to break up until he starting working with Myles and like the vibe and it had been 4 months since the break up so if they revealed it June 4th it was in late February early March they actually broke up and then it seems that Stapp wanted a break to pursue his solo career and acting and Flip and Mark approached him about breaking up completely. So in Stapp's defense he may have been telling the truth. Although, I agree he was putting a PR spin on things which was smart I think his approach was better because it gives the members a chance to pursue their careers without in negative feedback from the press or fans. I know some people are not going to like what I'm saying and I love all the members of Creed but Mark and Flip approach by airing Stapp's dirty laundry on Mtv and Michael getting on the boards revealing things that we did not need to know has put a rift in fans because when I visit the boards alot of fans either blame Stapp or Mark for the break up and I think that this hurts all the members at the end. Also I notice later in some interviews that Mark and Flip tried to back down and say it was not Stapp fault for the break up but the damage has already has been done. It is really very interesting to see how it will all play out at the end.

I know! :kiss: I didn't take it any other way.

Everyone knew what was going on. But I just don't think it was 100% yet. Scott was very nervous on Craig Kilborn, his hands were shaking. He knew he was going to get asked about Creed.

I'm with ya, Robyn. And even if he did know, and notice I said IF, can you imagine if he came out on national televsion and said they were broken up!! Besides all of that, there were probably legal reasons why he couldn't say anything. Just my :2cents:

As for Scott and Jamie Foxx, I believe it when Scott said he isn't a rapper. I think it's great that he working with different people and I'm anxious to hear his new songs on The Passion cd as well as his solo cd.

Marcos, you're such a kidder. ;)

Actually, I'm kind of anticipating Stapp's solo album because of the sound he's trying to project. I mean, he's trying to mix his influences -- Zepplin, The Doors, U2 -- with a new type of sound. Something that rocks your fists and thumps your speakers. It will be interesting. And, with The Tea Party playing the instruments, now THAT will be a thing to behold. I mean, Jeff Martin is a force to be reckoned with!!

Go Stapp!
Go Tea Party!

Now that would be funny!!! He'd steal Mark's thunder!!! LOL!

Don't get Scott's collaboration with The Tea Party mixed up with his solo effort. If I remember correctly, The Tea Party worked with Scott only on his contribution (Relearn Love) to the Passion of the Christ CD due out in August. Scott's Zep/Doors mix is referring to his solo effort due out on a date still TBD.

i'm really confused here as to what songs the tea party are involved in and to what extent such as has scott wrote the music.

Don't be confused :)

As of right now, The Tea Party worked with Scott on his Relearn Love song, which will be the first single off the Passion of the Christ CD. They were in the recording studio with Scott. So, I'm assuming that means they played on the song, as well as probably doing back-up vocals.

Any further collaboration was depending on The Tea Party's touring schedule.

At the beginning of the thread, I got the vibe that people thought I wasn't supporting Scott. I want you all to know, I support Scott, and I trust that he'll make the right decisions, but I don't like rap. I KNOW (K-N-O-W) that he will not rap, so please don't try to tell me that, BUT here's my problem..........I wan't to have everything Scott does, because I love his voice....but if it's going to have a bunch of rap/hiphop and junk like that on the rest of the album, I don't really want to spend the money on something that won't be very long in Scott's case, plus stuff other than Scott's stuff I probably won't care for. That's the reason I said I wished he would just get on an album with just good ole rock n roll, that way I'd be happy with all of it, rather than a few songs. Plus it doesn't help that I'm not a person of change. Call me dull, but if it's possible, I don't want to venture too far into the ocean, I'd rather sit on my island.
But Go for it Scott, just make it good!

Oh...

So, The Tea Party won't be on Stapp's solo record? Man...

BTW...have any of you listened to the Tea Party? These guys are awesome!! Check out "Walking Wounded" or "Heaven Coming Down" by these guys!

Also -- Creed_DefaultGirl,

I understand what you're saying! I'd prefer to stay on my little island as well. I'm not big on a whole lot of the commercial music out there, and so I only listen to the things I like...which DO vary in sound...but anyways, girl, I'm with you!!

ummm i'm not so sure as i got this from chart attack in canada (start of the article as the rest is irrevelant here).

After nearly 10 years together, Creed is no more. But Scott Stapp has vowed to go on, with The Tea Party standing behind him.

Stapp has gone back into the studio and is currently working on a solo album with hip-hop producer 7 Aurelius and his new backing band, The Tea Party. Yes, our Tea Party — Stapp and Jeff Martin are at last working as one. Before we see that gem, Stapp will provide a track on an album filled with songs inspired by The Passion Of The Christ, due out August 31.

this seems to point to them being the backing band for the entire album but perhaps that is not the case. i would like them to be the backing band for the entire album. he is going to need a backing band anyway and it may as well be a talented band such as them, plus martin's backing vocals will be very good.

When is that article from? According to an article in June, the information differed. Here is just a portion of the article.

The Tea Party are in it for the long haul. At least that's the take of drummer Jeff Burrows. When everyone else is mum about the LaSalle band's plans, you can usually rely on Burrows to tell it like it is.

"I want to scotch the rumours about us breaking up right here and now," Burrows said this week.

The band's demise is just one of several scenarios suggested by recent developments, including a highly publicized recording session with former Creed frontman Scott Stapp.

A single, Relearn Love, under Stapp's name, was scheduled to be released this week as part of a compilation album inspired by the film The Passion of the Christ. Burrows said a second recording with Stapp was also in the plans, to be recorded in Miami, but nothing firm had been decided beyond that.

FRIENDS

"We're friends with Scott Stapp," Burrows said. "This was a chance to make a record with someone of his stature."

An wire story about the breakup of Creed stated Stapp would make a solo album with The Tea Party. That led to speculation Stapp and The Tea Party would team up under a different name.

But Burrows denied the rumour, saying future work with Stapp will depend on his being available and The Tea Party's own promotional plans for their seventh studio album, The Seven Circles, due later this summer.

umm that is a little confusing, the chart attack article is from june the 4th. so what happened to it being released last month (his song)? if the tea party are not going to be his backing band for the rest of the album who is? a relatively unknown band?

I agree, and I can't speak for everyone, but I know for me...but that's one thing that turned me off about Alter Bridge.

whoever the backing band is, as long as they are good...i don't think it would matter if they were known or unknown...as long as they can fit with what stapp is trying to express with his music...it's going to be :smokin:

I knew that was an error - about Scotts song being released. I sent the editor of the paper an email inquiring about that information and I never got a response.

That information was from a Canadian newspaper.

Relearn Love is due August.

They're still picking the tracks. Stapp has the first single.

i guess we'll be able to hear the song by early august...can't wait i am very intrigued. does anyone know if this song will also be on his album or just the soundtrack?

I'm very intruged also, I am looking forward to it and am very curious. Anyone know if there has been an exact date set?

you mean the album? august 31st...as for his single i have no idea but i guess early august.

Okay, thanks.

Wait, wait wait. This is kinda confusing. Stapp is going to be featured in the Passion of the Christ album, yes? Then he is doing an album with The Tea Party? Is that right? I need to read more on Stapp news, lol.

i think now that the tea party are involved in "to relearn love" but its not clear whether they were going to be with the remainder of his solo work.

Hayley, Scott's song Relearn Love was recorded with the Tea Party. As far as we know, that's the only collobration between them (Scott and TP). If you look in a previous post in this thread, I included part of an article regarding this information :)


If I remember correctly, Scott wrote between 4 and 6 songs for the POC. Relearn Love will probably only be on the POC and not on his solo CD. Some of his other songs might end up on the POC as well.

Can't wait to see Scott's site up... I hardly can't wait any longer... I'm getting so darn anxious to hear him sing again! It's taken so long!

I'm with you, Stef, I can't wait to hear Relearn Love next month!!! :jam:

Oh, I see. Thank you. And thanks, handmedown. :D
