What Mullet said.

[Said Eyes]

Compared in the fact that most critics and music writers didn't like Zepelin's first few albums, just like the criticism for Creed's first few albums.

Ditto.

[Steve]

when has stapp compared creed to zep? he has said that zep has been an influence, but has never compared the two bands.

[Dogstar]

I read in an old interview that he compared them in the sense of their experience early in their carreers as far as the critics were concerned. The critics ripped Zeppelin early on saying they weren't original or groundbreaking before they were accepted, and Creed have gone through similar criticism. I don't think he actually compared Creed musically to Zeppelin. At least I don't remember reading that.

Although Stapp is a brilliant singer as well as a writter, You can not knock led zep ( come on there gods)

Ditto :D Mullet your the man!

[creedchick02]

Since this is a Zepplin board i pick~~UM~~~~~~~~~~:D

[marlsy]

Since Led Zepplin put out their first album in 1969 and those songs are still played today on radio stations around the world, you would have to then wait another 34 years and make the comparision based on longevity not on who's better. Who's better would require a subjective answer in which case if you are a Creed fan, of course you would say Creed.

[Sheila63]

I like some of Led Zepplin's songs but I can't compare them to Creed because they're totally different to me. But if I did, it would defintely be Creed.

Steve's right, Scott never compared Led Zep to Creed, they were one of his musical influences.

[TeriB19]

Read Mullet's post.

[hotforscott]

Read Mullets post again!

[Mr.CreedFreakTN]

I wouldn't compare the two, I like few Led Zepplin songs, I like all of Creed's material.

[amsottile]

i didnt even waste my time voting......dumb question....cant compare!

[Lechium]

Funny thing is that creed's winning by a landslide. Good thing I didnt have Beatles as an option instead of Zepplin or poor Beatles would have been put to shame by you guys.

[Kim V.]

Exactly, you can't compare. Led Zep's songs have been played for many years; Creed's been heard since 1997. And their music is totally different. Only one song of Creed's (WGMB) sounds a little Zeppelin-esque, if you will (long, epic, heavy on drums/cymbals toward the end; that's when I hear the slight resemblance). And like it's been said, Stapp hasn't compared their music to Led Zep's, just said they were an influence, as were U2 and The Doors.
I didn't even do the poll either....

JUST GIVE LOVE TO ALL -- Scott Stapp

[Human Prison82]

Thing is, Led Zep are LEGENDS. No question. Creed are a really good band right now, I hope one day they can be compared to Led Zep.
By the way, someone already metioned it, Stapp didn't compare Creed to Zep because that would have been suicide, just like Oasis comparing themselves to the Beatles. He said people ripped on Zep early in their careers, similiar to critics ripping on Creed.

[Lechium]

Oasis always say thay are better than Beatles and yet sell millions of copies of their cd's (theyre much bigger in rest of the world than they are in US). So no it's not suicide.

[Human Prison82]

I know Oasis is successful in Europe. I believe they would have been even more successful in the US had they not made that statement. But that's just what I think.

[Lechium]

Nope. People like Beatles in Europe much more than they like them in US (not saying they are not loved here). Oasis is just very British in their music, and british bands have hard time being successful here lateley. Aside of some success Radiohead and Coldplay have got.

Yeah really............ Was your mind switched to retard mode when you wrote this thread

[Lechium]

hehe, well question is what mode stapps brain was =P

[Human Prison82]

Are you just causing controversy. Whatever, Stapp didn't compare band to band. He said they were similiar in the way critics treated them early in their career.
And how can you say NOPE to what I think, it's what I think.

[jango]

This is inane.

[DangerousDan85]

no matter how many times we tell him what stapp said, he's not gonna get it
