Introduction, Stapp's voice, etc.

What's up guys. I've actually been following this forum for quite a while, I've just never really taken the initiative to sign up.

I bumped into Jared on here a while back, and figured I may as well sign up.
I was at the Creed concert in Atlanta, and while I will give details of that event, I'm going to limit my first post to some other info.
Long story short, they absolutely owned the stage.

Stapp's voice seems to be improving with each show he plays.
For the record, if anyone is still wondering, your ears aren't broken.
Stapp isn't 100% yet, but you have to take into account that the guy is 10 years older, and he's been through some stuff.
That guy is lucky to be singing at all with his history of vocal issues.
He's definately getting some of his edge back, though.

The pit sound from the concert I was at....probably wasn't the best to judge by. Wasn't the clearest mix ever, but that was because it was extremely loud.
Stapp sounded awesome in almost every song they did that night.

On the other hand, I saw some videos a guy took at their show in West Palm Beach a couple of days ago. Check it out on youtube, and you will actually hear Scott and Eric do some improv on stage, and Scott belts it like it was 1999 all over again. It sounded great.

If anyone needs a link to it, I'll post one afterwards. Browser is being difficult.
Check out their performance of One and One Last Breath from West Palm.

I hope the vocals on the album are the best they can be.
I'm sure they will, but if Scott is improving alot now, you can only wonder how he was a couple of months ago.

Either way, this is something I've waited over a decade for.

Long live Creed.

Nice post.

I haven't been to a Creed concert but I agree with what you say about Stapp's voice.

No offense, but Scott's voice is a little flat compared to the original recording. I wouldn't exactly say he "belts it like it was 1999 all over again". One does sound better than OLB though.

I mean in the improv part he does before One Last Breath.
It's going to be hard for him to ever hit it like he used to.
One was definately amazing, though.
