I don't believe that by singing these songs stapp is trying to "be" Creed, that assumption is something that disgruntled, once Creed/now AB fans have chosen to labeled it....
he is BEING himself...SCOTT STAPP...singing songs he contributed to the experience that was Creed...that is not a sign of disrespect to anyone in my eyes...
Why must everyone think so negativily about his singing them, instead of seeing that so many people miss hearing these meaningful tunes performed live...and he has chosen to bring that wish for some fans to life?
I'm sure that when he goes on tour there will be a BALANCE between what was old and what is new...and the outcome will be quite pleasing...
