Yes, a band often isn't considered talented unless they are unleashing pain or sorrow or some other hole they are in. That's not to say that the negative stuff isn't moving, (Alice In Chains comes to mind) but it seems anyone with a positive message is considered too lightweight. What's cool about Creed is sometimes the songs start out dark, but end with a little bit of hope. I find that touching. Even a song like MOP, with all the pain and regret in that song, the self-loathing. It all comes to a head where he figures it out and says, hey, I did this to myself. There's no one else to blame. Their songs are like a journey and some of them are uplifting and I like that.

Yeah i like the songs filled with pain and hurt.
U2 is my 2nd fav band, pretty much just because the lyrics are so moving. And becasue there is always something positive in there. Most of the songs on mop are dark, but there is always the positive message. Thats what i love about creed. Scott never says, life is perfect, theres nothing to worry about, as u get in pop music etc, but he never says life totally sucks, theres no way out. People who dont know creed usually say 1 or the other, and just get the wrong idea about there music, it really sucks. I get sick of it. They shouldnt bash when they dont know shit.

Exactly. Most of the supposed Creed haters really haven't given them a fair listen, IMO. I suspect they are closet Creed lovers and are just trying to be hip because Creed-bashing seems popular. The same garbage goes on at the Jerry Cantrell site. They hate Creed over there, but I stick up for them in the face of ever-increasing ridicule. I always say, hey, you can like more than one band. I'm a huge Jerry/AIC fan, but I sure as heck enjoy the crap out of Creed, too.

Good on ya! I always stick up for them as well. It just annoys me that the bashes cant at least get their facts straight first. But who cares, us fans are all that matters, not the bashers and i know that scott and the boyz know that too.

U know what a load of shit it is when ya pick up the newspaper and creed is being dissed in a music review, then ya turn the page over, and Nsync gets the best review of the lot.
But thats not gonna make me go out of my way on an nsync board and waste my time bashing them, like some people do on this board. I'd rather post good things about my fav band on this board.

You are so right. I like talking about my fave bands. I wade through all the sh** on the Jerry board because occasionally, I find a fun or thought-provoking thread. I admit they are few and far between on that site. That is why I love this bb so much. There are smart, fun, and funny people on the board.
I remember reading one scathing review of Scott and the boys in Atlanta. The writer obviously went in with a bias against them and totatlly regurgitated other crap I have heard over the years, saying things like Scott thinks he Jesus. I mean, come on. At least be original if yer going to bash.

Personally I really don't give a hoot what the critics say. I mean what critics say are merely their opinions. Someone on here once said opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one. It's the same here. Critics can rant and rave all they want about whoever or whatever... however... it all boils down to one thing... what one personally likes or dislikes. I love Linkin Park. I love their first album much more than Reanimation, but I still think reanimation is very good. That is my personal opinion. However others have told me that Reanimation is nothing but a rip-off... that Linkin Park were too lazy to come up with any new material and that reanimation was just a let down. That was their own personal opinion. Nothing that anyone says about Linkin Park or Creed will stop the fact that a crap load of people around the world love these bands and are faithful. Let the critics blow smake out of their rears... the real critics are the fans... they will critique the band(s) much more fairly that those idiotic critics in the media.

You know, Creed wouldn't be the same if it weren't for all the critics. Alot of their songs are in response to those fools who try to cut them down. So actually, thanks to all those buffoons who, in their efforts to badmouth Creed, only made them better!

Mark said in the Rolling Stone article that anytime they get any bad critical words or harsh reactions, "they are just writing another song for us" (something to that effect).

"Is This The End"
"..No more sorrow All those crying days are gone......." It's my fave lyric because It means to me that if you had a bad yeaar or day you can wash it away and statr all over again.
