Yes! Audioslave rules! They're my favorite band with AB! Cornell teachs how to sing in the new album, hes is in great form! And the lyrics is f#cking awesome!
We can't forget Tom Morello making some miracles with his guitar! I think the new bands and artists could learn a lot with this guys...

Surround me (unofficial lyrics)

According to PBF that's it:

Surround Me
They say no man's an island
But I tend to disagree
I guess they've never seen my island
And where it lies at sea

Lost inside my memory
Still in disbelief
If I could paint a picture for you
This is what you'll see

I'm down on my knees
Begging you to rescue me
Please stop me, don't let me run
Surround me
Surround me now
Surround me now

A wounded man sounds desperate
When he's lost all his beliefs
Can you look into my eyes
And say you won't betray me

I'm running out of time
How precious time can be
I'm counting all the moments
Of the times you could have held me

I'm down on my knees
Begging you to rescue me
Please stop me, don't let me run
Surround me
Surround me now
Surround me now

I'm down on my knees
Begging you to rescue me
Please stop me, don't let me run
Surround me
Surround me

I'm down on my knees
Begging you to rescue me
Please stop me, don't let me run
Surround me
Surround me

I'm down on my knees
Begging you to rescue me
Please stop me, don't let me run
Surround me
Surround me now
Surround me now
Surround me now
Surround me now
Surround me now
Surround me now
Surround me now
Surround me now

Music and lyrics by Scott Stapp

Not a great song/lyrics, but a little better than TGD even though the lyrics structure is not original: the same 'questions' are present in Relearn Love and Great Divide...

I love #1 Zero. Awesome song, definitely my favorite on the album.

I couldn't stand the first album. Just generic radio rock almost from beginning to end. OOE has some weird points but at least they were trying some new stuff. I love it.

And Myles is 36 by now isn't he? Because He was 35 like... last August...

Those lyrics stink. I haven't heard the song yet but he just repeats the chorus four times? lame. Not even a blasted INTERLUDE? really lame.

And yeah, Myles is still 35.

I thought Stapp's age is 32, not 33. I really like Surround Me, great song by him. Didn't even hear the cd version of it yet.

I was thinking the same thing...and even though I like this song better than TGD ,must admmit its extremelly repetitive...so different from Creeds lyrics...

...what definitely makes me think IF Stapp was the real author of them...

I agree, I also did not care much for that first CD. But I really do love OOE, and I think my favorite track is "Doesn't Remind Me". I've heard varying opinions on which CD is better. I personally think the second one is better, but my bro owns both and doesn't like the second one all that much. OOE does have some weird points, but at least they are being creative.

You're correct about that. Stapp was born in '73, not '72, so he's 32, not 33.

Quote: (Originally Posted by Ana4Stapp) ...what definitely makes me think IF Stapp was the real author of them...

I still believe he did the majority of the lyrics, but I do think Mark helped out more than we previously thought. The reason why I believe that Stapp did most of the lyrics is that Creed's lyrics, imo, seem to fit what Stapp was going through at that point in his life. Those lyrics, at least the way I interpret them, paint a picture of a struggling Christian, someone who is constantly questioning things.

I think the reason why Stapp's lyrics are so different from Creed's is that he is a changed man, as far as Religion is concerned. No longer does he question God like he did in the Creed lyrics; he embraces his relationship with God, his spirituality. Lyrics are so personal, and when you're a song writer, what you go through in your personal life typically greatly effects what you write about and how you do so. I'm a lyricist, and everything that I have gone through in the last year and a half(and it's a lot, as far as my spirituality is concerned) have greatly influenced what I write about in my lyrics. Stapp's very content with his current spiritual state, and I think that the lyrics reflect that.

I don't know... if you compare to MOP and Human Clay, they're downhill I think. But comparing to Weathered, I'd say it's in the same level.

Don't get me wrong, I like W. better than MOP... but the lyrics weren't as good.

And it means these lyrics being so 'poor' ? It should be the opposite...

he just means it's easier to write when you're pissed, frustrated or dealing with issues than when you're happy.

I don't know if you're religious or not. But when you're in trouble, people claim to God desperately. But when things are doing fine, they will tell everybody and cheer before they remember to thank God.

It's part of human nature...

Myles doesnt drink alcohol, Myles doesnt smoke, Myles hides to the tour bus straight away to rest when he finishes signing and taking pics with the fans after the gigs. Plus Myles is in a great shape for his age. I dont think Myles and Scott have anything in common. Myles looks after him and his voice and Stappy doesnt..full stop.

You are right Trimontana...Myles does take very good care of himself. Plus Myles had voice lessons, and knows how to sing correctly without straining his vocal cords. When Creed started, I had talked to Scott, and he was saying his throat was hurting after a show. He had never had voice lessons. I told him he needed to do that. I think he did, but the damage had been done.Knowing how to sing correctly, makes a BIG difference!! I can tell the major changes in Scotts voice over the years!!! He would have to do retake after retake when in the studio cutting albums to get that high note just right!!

Yes, and I believe Britney and Ashley use that studio equipment all the time to enhance their voice,.... but I think they can use that equipment when singing live too!!

Actually, I personally like MOP best of all. I think lyrically, vocally and musically it is better than HC and Weathered. I still like HC a lot, though.

That was exactly what I meant. It IS easier to write when you're ticked off than when you're happy. I speak from experience. My least creative work, as a lyricist, is the songs in which I express happiness. My most creative work, on the other hand, is in the songs in which I express frustration, or anger, or unhappiness. It is just so much easier to find the right words, the right structure in that type of song for me.

I just think that because Stapp has changed, that is the reason why his lyrics are so different.
