C'mon, subby. There's nothing more Christian than drunken wife-abusing!

This may have worked with a "Scary" tag, but we all know in our hearts that this god-forsaken reunion would make a boatload of money.

That's too bad. Creed 2 (aka Alter Bridge) was actually a lot better than the origianl, IMHO.

BobtheFascist: That's too bad. Creed 2 (aka Alter Bridge) was actually a lot better than the origianl, IMHO.

That's kind of like saying gonorrhea is better than AIDS.

I wonder if the tour will be sponsored by Denny's? (pops)

I am recalling Stapp's performance of "God Bless America" from the 2004 World Series and shivering in fear.

But will fans welcome them with arms wide open?

/please shoot me now

CheddarPants: I wonder if the tour will be sponsored by Denny's? (pops)

My got that was BRILLIANT.

My god even...

Wow, this will be an easy one, kids.

We just sit back and watch the magic unfold before us....

El Freak: BobtheFascist: That's too bad. Creed 2 (aka Alter Bridge) was actually a lot better than the origianl, IMHO.

Clap clap clap.

Thanks for the words. . .

I caught Alter Bridge this summer with Sevendust. They were much better than I thought they would be. Miles Kennedy can sing pretty damn good. His duet with Sevendust on "Sorrow" gave me chills.

Maybe they'll go on tour with Nickelback. That'd be splendid.

Alter Bridge, BLAAARRRRGGGHHHHH! I listened to one song of theirs because Cristina Scabbia did backing vocals on it.

Even SHE couldn't save that song.

wow this is good news for all the other sucky bands that will get a pass do to the ultrasuck fest that is creed

Of course Stapp is with them, subby. Reuniting without your headline-grabbing vocalist is like The Doors having a reunion concert with the current flash-in-the-pan rock singer as the substitute.

hope there's no chicken wire in front of the stage

i would hate to think all those years of practice with bottle throwing have gone to waste

No Arms Wide Open referrences in the headline make me sad. Someone post the cartoon; my google-fu is weak this morning

Eddie Vedder shakes his fist with rage.

FlyingPig: Alter Bridge, BLAAARRRRGGGHHHHH! I listened to one song of theirs because Cristina Scabbia did backing vocals on it.

:perk: Which song?

/love Lacuna Coil
//never heard Alter Bridge

The fact that Scott Stapp hasn't been murdered only proves that dreams do not come true.

Marisyana: :perk: Which song?

/love Lacuna Coil
//never heard Alter Bridge

I forget. I think it was an alternate version of whatever song of theirs is on the radio that sounds like a by-the-numbers Pearl Jam ripoff. I was serious when I said that even she couldn't save it.

Its like I'm 13 all over again.

Except this time I realize how big a farking idiot I was for being into that crap.

/If they tour w/o Stapp I'd probably have to see it.

Can someone just give the singer a tetanus shot so he doesn't have to "sing" with lock-jaw anymore?

"Wih ahhhhms wy o'en nah!"

SAY NO TO LOCK-JAW.

Not impressed.

Creed: They're not making rock better, they're making Christianity worse.

Third Day Mark: /If they tour w/o Stapp I'd probably have to see it.

They've been touring without Stapp for years.

CheddarPants: I wonder if the tour will be sponsored by Denny's? (pops)

That Denny's episode is a brilliant read.

I think that he will end up on this end of the Jail camera again
/phuken loser
// if I had half the stardom he had I would have been alot more responsible with it. Remember kids when your famous it just means that you look like more of an ass when you dont keep your nose clean. O yeah and beating women makes your a "real" man.

assegai: Not impressed.
Creed wrote better songs than Creed.

I wish someone had the video from SNL of Sandler Playing Eddie Vedder, and (don't remember) some one else playing Stapp-beater and one other guy, all with the same craptastic vocals on a boat in the middle of no where. Was Fantastic.

All should sample Bob Rivers' Creed parody tune "My Mouth's Not Open".

Go Fast Turn Left: Maybe they'll go on tour with Nickelback. That'd be splendid.

I think if Creed reunites that Nickelback is legally obligated to quit, since the universal suck quotient would be too high to contain the both of them.

If there were any justice in the world, Marc Tremonti would be the sole unharmed survivor as a bunch of teenage poseur-Satan-worshipers takes out Alter Bridge in a hail of gunfire.

I saw Creed live and agree it was one of the worst live shows of any national headliner type band I've ever seen. I was actually there to to see Collective Soul, but I had hoped that Creed might be kind of cool. Nope. They seemed very tired and unenthusiastic. You could just feel that they didn't want to be there. I know that even when you're a rockstar there's going to be days that it's a job and you're worn out from the road and would rather be elsewhere, but the crowd should never see that.

He looks in that above picture as if he carries the pungent aroma of five onions mixed in a food processor.

There is a Rolling Stone article from some time ago that is pretty interesting. Here are some of my fav parts:

Before he pulled the trigger, he looked up and saw a picture of his son, Jagger, the product of a troubled marriage. Jagger, then four, was staying with Stapp's mother at the time. "And in an instant," he says, "I just turned and shot the house up. And I just broke down. I was like, 'I was about to blow my head off. How low can I get?'"

Stapp taped an episode of Casino Cinema (pops), a celebrity poker show on the cable channel Spike TV. He was obviously intoxicated. During the episode, Stapp slurs his words, curses incessantly, claims Dave Grohl has "a little cock," demonstrates a bizarre series of kung-fu moves and demands a kiss from co-host Beth Ostrosky (Howard Stern's girlfriend), later telling her, "My son thinks babies come from my sac" and "I make more money than Howard."

He [Stapp] also says he could foresee a Creed reunion someday. Tremonti [guitarist] says fans shouldn't hold their breath. "I haven't listened to a Creed song in years," he confesses. "I can't stand it. I wouldn't want to play those songs again. It was a complete nightmare. When people from that era get together, it's like a convention of people who went through Nam."

/My son thinks babies come from my sac
//with arms wide open

Go Fast Turn Left: Maybe they'll go on tour with Nickelback. That'd be splendid.

Don't be giving anyone any ideas. Unless, of course, you wanted to attempt to create a very large, very vacuuous vortex of suck.

FlyingPig: Alter Bridge, BLAAARRRRGGGHHHHH! I listened to one song of theirs because Cristina Scabbia did backing vocals on it.

Lacuna Coil rules. Comalies kicked ass. With that said, I don't ever want to hear she was involved with anything that was once involved with Stapp. That's the musical equivalent of nailing Paris Hilton and winding up with crabs, syphyllis and the hep.

I can't see a huge musical difference between Alter Bridge and Creed. At best, listening to Alter Bridge gives you the satisfaction of knowing you're not supporting Scott Stapp. Both are more or less PJ knock-offs.

i run in to scott everyonce in a while here in town. he takes jason bonham's son to basketball and baseball games (think little league).

only talked to him about the current game in front of us. seems like an ok guy in this regard. does get a little excitable at times and starts to curse but he holds it back.

one time he had more skoal bandits in his lower lip then i knew would fit.

please no, why would anyone want to torture us again with this , ahhhhhh

Alter Bridge is pretty decent. Their best song, IMO, is the one that they sold to the WWE as Edge's entrance theme (Metalingus). And Miles Kennedy is a damn impressive singer.

FeedTheCollapse: I can't see a huge musical difference between Alter Bridge and Creed. At best, listening to Alter Bridge gives you the satisfaction of knowing you're not supporting Scott Stapp. Both are more or less PJ knock-offs.

Listen to any Creed single and then compare it to "Ties That Bind" or "White Knuckles". BIG difference. Blackbird is one of the best hard rock albums to come out in the last decade.

I'll admit, I used to like a few songs off of "My Own Prison" way back when I was 11, but then I heard Pearl Jam for the first time and that part of me died, never to return. "That part" being the young, christian, and into-shiatty-bands part.

probably will sound something like this (new window)

here's a good live (new window) version of nickelback

OMFG, I laughed so hard my boss came out of his office to see what I was looking at.

That the only song of theirs that I've heard, and I just heard it for the first time this week. I felt kind of sick when I looked them up, due to liking that song so much, and finding out that the band is mostly ex-Creed members. Stapp must have been solely responsible for Creed's total sucktitude.

The song the chick from Lacuna Coil sang on is a bad example because, one, it's one song and a single at that, and two, she seems to ruin songs that she does with other artists, such as Megadeth's "A Tout Le Monde". It's almost a shame Alter Bridge is 3/4 Creed members, because people will immediately compare the two bands, despite having almost completely different sounds.

So the rumors of Myles Kennedy going to what's left of Led Zeppelin must be true. Otherwise, we'd be hearing about new Altar Bridge music instead of a Creed reunion.

I for one am actually excited. I grew up about 70 miles north of Tallahassee, and to me they still are like the local band that did good, because most bands from that area are lucky to get play on X 101.5, let alone every radio station on the freakin' planet. As long as Stapp's ego stays in check, then these boys might go far again.

I would disagree that she ruined A Tout Le Monde.
