Quote: ... so many bands Staind ,Limp bizkit, linkin park, bit off of creed's ideas its sickening how much stainds lead singer sound like stap when he sings

Um, Aaron Lewis sounds nothing like Stapp, not even close

Quote: Yeah alot of people compare creed and pearl jam, but lets be serious Cred had way more success as a band than pear jam did

Um, no. Remember Ten? I just camped out all night for Pearl Jam tix in Philly. The show, probably 18,000 seats, sold out in 12 minutes. And PJ are still together and don't even need an album to go out on tour. Their live shows are incredible. Bands make most of their money from touring and merch sales, so in that respect, PJ far outranks Creed.

Quote: mark is a way better guitarist and Stapp wrote way better songs to the point where Pearl jam was making remakes of songs just to sell records and now theyve dissapeared.'

You obviously haven't listened to enough Pearl Jam to make that assessment. Eddie Vedder is one of the best rock lyricists EVER, IMHO. I love Creed, but Scott can't hold a candle to Eddie's writing. And no, Mark is not a better guitarist than Mike McCready, who never gets enough credit for his talent, not to mention the very capable Stone Gossard. Shredding isn't everything, but if you want to hear some kick-ass shredding, check out November Hotel from Mad Season, McCready's side project with AIC's Layne Staley.
