Well, I'm confused: PBF, scottstapp.net, friends of scott stapp? what's the difference? I think they are the same...maybe I'm wrong...

Frankie, have you heard anything at all about stapp lately? I mean, besides the whole dinner thing, that was Meaningless, and rightfully named in the thread, but anything other than that, i figured that you are the authority on all things stapp.

[MissSeeker]

lol Litium I don't believe Scott is single, even if he was the chances of meeting him in Holland are very small, otherwise I'd probably become one of those fans that follow him around.

LOL T4Life...I don't think that's true...but you managed to start my day off with a smile...thanks for that.

Just that things are still on track for the Aug/Sept release with the single *about* 8 weeks before the album drops. We haven't really heard anything "new" since Scott's visit to Wind-Up a few weeks ago. As soon as we hear anything official we'll get it up for everyone.

Lith - ScottStapp.com is Wind-Up's site for Scott, and I guess, will be similiar to the sites they have for all their other artists...FriendsofScottStapp will be Scott's personal site...I really don't know how to explain it any better than that. We are curious to see what each site will come up with.

Thanks, Frankie.

Whoa, so that means the single COULD be out as early as THIS month? That's exciting. I'm really looking forward to hearing the first single. That should be a preview of what's to come.

[uncertaindrumer]

Hmmm... If I know WU, they will pick the worst song off the whole album, cut it down and make it even worse to fit on the radio, etc.

But maybe since most of Stapp's songs are going to be more radio friendly and softer (presumably) they won't have to pick the worst song off the album.

Always glad to make someone smile.

But, As for the album...Id have to say that the single may drop only 2 weeks before the cd. Simply because of the Internet. I see us having the album, if the release date doesnt get pushed back, 6 weeks before it comes out on the store shelves. I had seethers new album 3 weeks before it dropped, and Audioslaves new album 4 weeks before it dropped. lol

And NO, i wasnt the one who pirated them!!!

[Dogstar]

Yeah, same with NIN. I had theirs three weeks before it came out.

Yeah, I'm really interested to see what direction Scott has gone in. I think, no matter what, I'll probably like what he comes out with, so long as it isn't Rap or Hip-Hop(chances of that happening are slim to none). Stapp is one of my favorite vocalists and he has made me a fan to the point where, even if he releases something that is hated by critics and gets horrible reviews, I'll still buy it and have an open mind to it.

I'm thinking his solo CD will be somewhat similar to Creed, music-wise, but with little to no solos(disappointing for a solo fan like myself) and a tiny bit softer(don't mind that, but would like for it to be harder). I still think it'll be stuff suitable to be played on Rock radio(because, if Hoobastank can get Rock radio airplay, why can't Stapp?), but somehow I think that it won't be played on Rock radio no matter how Rock-ish it is. I just think, because Creed became so radio friendly, that Stapp has worn out his credibility on Rock radio. I can see Stapp having a huge amount of success on Pop radio, but I can't see him having a bunch of success on Rock radio. I can also see Stapp's solo CD selling a lot of copies, but, of course, albums sold does not equal quality(see Ashlee Simpson). Still, though, I expect Stapp to come out with a solid CD, and hopefully it'll be one that stays in or around my CD player for a while.

Back on topic, I agree Uncertain, they'll probably release a soft song for his first solo, because we all know Pop radio won't play something really hard if Stapp has hard songs on his CD.

You know, if Stapp's CD does leak, I hate to say it, but I will download it before it comes out. I know I'm gonna buy the CD no matter what, but, man, I'm beginning to get so impatient that I'd actually DL the CD if it leaks. I remember 12 Stones latest CD(Potter's Field) leaked 3 weeks before the CD was released, so I can definitely see Stapp's CD leaking. In a way, I hope it does just so I can get a preview of it.

Wow! lol

PS: Well, I have to agree with you that his album is probably going to be more softly than rock stuff orientated and I'm very curious about the cd...
