Why do people hate Creed???

[Iron Thrower]

I was on a forum the other day and the topic of Creed came up. A lot of people were saying that the lead singer is really arogant and that they don't like the band at all. I heard some stuff about him and Fred Durst getting into it at a show. So what's the deal? Why do people and bands not like Creed? I personally love their music and I don't have a reason to dislike the lead singer. Iron

A good reason for me is that their music is garbage.

I'd like to rip the lead singer's layrnx out and stomp it into the ground.

i really enjoy this topic. i made this post earlier this year. hopefully it can shed some light on the subject.

Allow me to enlighten you on the finer points of why Creed sucks ass. First off, there is a factory somewhere on this planet that cranks out these carbon copy bands that all have a lead singer with the EXACT same voice. This lead singer mold was fashioned from a combination of Eddie Vedder and Lane Staley of Alice in Chains. After these two artists came out, every alternative band in the world decided that they need a lead singer with a deep, nasal voice that sounded just like these two fellows. Creed is one of them(along with STP, Godsmack, although they don't suck). Every single word he sings sounds like he's basically singing the letter "R". "Crrn yr trrk mrr hrrrrrr??" They also claimed at one point to write better songs than Pearl Jam. Now, I'm not much of a Pearl Jam fan, but holy shit give me a break. A 13 year old could have come up with the "intricate" lyrics to any given Creed song. And the lead singer, Scott Stapp, is nothing more than a pretty boy and has to be in every single Creed video with his hair flowing, eyes staring off in the distance like some lost GQ model, striking poses in his little tank top that he doesn't fill out all that well to begin with. Creed is nothing more than a band marketed at females. I will say the heavy guitars are about the only thing I can tolerate about them. Other than that I don't think I've heard any males mouth the words "Yeah...Creed fucking rocks."

The lead singer had the nerve to compare his band to Led Zeppelin. Ok, big guy. Your band is so commercial it's not even funny. Every song they come out with seems like it was designed to end up on some Pringles commercial

Super has some good points about sounding like A in Chains and P Jam, I agree with the bitch. peace

Good night, may you have dreams of yourself and runner in a thong tassled, turquoise ensemble playing hopscotch with plum fairies and feeding each other gummie bears. peace

I don't know where you live bro but these guys grew up here in Orlando and I talked to Scotts mom way back when they were just coming out and still playing free concerts. They originally did this to pay their way through law school. His mom thought it was just a part time gig until they reach the point that they are at now. I've heard about the egotistic thing but every one of these guys records have been huge hits and will continue to be for some time. Pearl Jam was just a by product of grunge which would have never lasted in the first place. They are proabably one of the last real rock bands around

The thing that bugs me... being that I also live in Orlando, is seeing him out at bars (mostly Kate's). He's supposed to be this pro-family, christian, role-model, candy ass, but every time he's out he's got at least two or three drunk bimbo's sitting at his table while he's drinking shots of tequila in between fondling them. I suppose that's why his marriage ended... who knows.
