Although I'm one of the newer ones to this BB, I've been a fan of Creed's since the beginning and I do remember Scott saying the "10 year thing" years ago, but with a little bit of a different meaning: they would try to make music and be successful for 10 years, and if it didn't work after that time, they would stop.
I don't know, but with everything that has happened, maybe it's just easier for Stapp to say that now.
But, I'm still hoping that sooner or later they can iron out their differences and get back together.
And of course, I'll support the solo efforts of both Scott and Mark.
