Oh Shit, Scott Did Not Just Say That...
In that Open House Party interview, Scott said he is going to be playing Creed's greatest hits along with his new stuff live in concert, "so it's not like Creed is even going anywhere..." He also said his new album "may even sound like Creed released a new album."
OMG. WOW. That is not the right thing to say, Scott. Please shut up. You are digging yourself a deeper hole every minute. I could not believe he said that. http://www.passionbreedsfollowers.c...erviews/OHP.zip THAT HAS GOT TO PISS SOMEBODY OTHER THAN ME OFF! Last edited by Hellboy : 10-18-2004 at 12:50 AM. |

I so hope this doesn't turn into another 'Beach Boys' fight. It would suck if Stapp decided to keep the Creed name like the members of the Beach Boys did, and tour as Creed with nothing similar to Creed except the lead singer. That would so totally suck.

What's the big deal? He wrote the songs for Creed, so it makes sense that his new songs are going to sound similar.
He definitely won't be keeping the name "Creed." |

Didn't Mark write most of the music for Creed?

That was my understanding, Steve, and Scott wrote most of the lyrics, right? He probably did the vocal melodies as well, but still, I can't imagine the music part of it sounding like Creed if Mark wrote the guitar parts. I kind of hope it doesn't. I would like to see him do something different...As long as it's not too poppy .

Teri, Scott is not going to go out on tour under the name Creed. He said he is going to be singing the songs he wrote. I actually got through to OHP and was able to talk to Scott. I asked him about playing Creed songs and he said "Why wouldn't I play that songs I wrote". That sums it up. I support his decision and can't wait to see him live again.
And as far as his solo CD sounding like Creed - well of couse it would - Scott's voice was the sound of Creed. He did say he is going to be doing some different things (like playing the piano).

Yes Steve, and Scott has always said that and he continues to say that. Scott said and I quote from his latest interview "Mark and I were co-songwriters in the band and he played guitar and I did the vocals and the lyrics and a lot of the arrangements."
This is just one example. Scott did numerous interviews last week and during each one he discussed Mark. Scott does not have a bad word to say about any of his old bandmates.

I don't think there is anything inherently WRONG with Scott performing Creed songs as a solo artist, I just think it doesn't show much class from his side of the table or scream out confidence in his new material...
Alter Bridge obviously has tons of confidence in their new material, enough to let it stand on its own. They don't feel they need to fall back on Creed to be liked or sell tickets...Their new material is good enough to do that. |

Yes, but also, I think AB probably knows that they couldn't get away with having Myles sing songs that people are used to hearing Scott's voice sing. It just wouldn't work.

I don't think it has so much to do with Myles not being able to, he's a professionally trained vocalist. Listen to sone Cosmic Dust or Citizen Swing or even Mayfield Four, he'd be able to sing it.
Basically, I think it's just wrong that this soon after the Creed breakup, instead of moving away from that past, Scott Stapp is still clinging to it. Tea Party (Isn't that the band he'll be with?) shouldn't be playing Creed songs, because they are not Creed, and for most fans, the Creed wound still hurts. If Stapp wants to play the acoustic of something like WAWO that is almost purely his, fine. But to use another band? It's wrong. Period. APC, VR, Audioslave, none of them did this, cuz they wanted their music to stand on it's own. I would have a lot more respect for Stapp if he would do the same. I have respect for AB and Myles not doing it.

For once, I agree wtih you, creedlvr, about AB not being able to get away with doing Creed songs ...But, I also agree with hellboy that it doesn't scream confidence in Scott's new stuff. I just wish they both would leave Creed behind for now. Maybe down the road, it wouldn't bother me so much, but right now, I wouldn't want AB or Scott playing/singing Creed songs.

I am not saying Myles "can't" sing them. Obviously, we all know he has had vocal training. That is was not the point. The point I was making in saying that AB couldn't pull it off was that people just wouldn't be accepting of hearing any voice other than Scott's singing those songs. Scott can pull it off because with him singing, the songs would sound the same as they did with Creed. People recognize the voice and relate to it. They don't necessarily identify with who is playing the guitar (except for the die-hard guitar fans.) As long as the backing band plays the songs properly, the songs will sound the same. They won't with Myles (or anyone else) singing them.

Oops! Dogstar, you beat me to the reply button. My response was meant for Fluttergirl.
I agree too, that it is probably in both their best interests to move on with their new stuff. I just hate to think that we will never hear those songs again (live anyway). |
