Why do people hate Creed???

[casavant]

... and the lead has a "I am doing good things" complex.

That is all.

Exactly, and like someone posted earlier, they take themselves a little too seriously. After watching the VH1 special, I can see the same self-righteous streak is shared by Scott Stapp and his father.

Wasn't there a band from the 80's called Wodin?

No but there is a company, Wodin Inc that has manufactured quality upset forgings since 1967. Originally a manufacturer of valve stems for the water and oil field equipment industries, we have expanded our forging capabilities to include a wide array of the highest quality near net and finished forging in all grades of forgeable materials

Personally,

I like them better than Pearl Jam. I always thought Pearl Jam was WAY overated. I think that dude just mumbles when he sings I can't understand a dang word he say. Hey eddy spit that gum out of your mouth and sing.

Now stp rocks and has some good music. And Alice In Chains rocks and has some good music but Creed lyrics are better than both of those bands. They have feeling in there songs.

OOOOhhkay?

Anyway,

I kinda like Spinal Tap.

LOL!!!!

Spinal Tap is an awesome flick. They actual were so popular that an album was put out after the movie.

.........GOOD!! someone else besides me noticed the family trait of arrogance, self importance and holier-than-thou attitude.

Creed....where do i begin....

So yeah, as of right now, i don't care for them. Their first album had a couple of good songs on it, and i mean 2. I thought torn was a decent song, and My own prison, i will admit, is a very good song. I still like it to this day. As for anything put out other then that, its just all the same. I can hardly tell "when you are with mee, im freeeee" from "can you take me hiigghhherr." They are practically the same song. Experimenting? Experimenting what? I don't even want to hear that. There is nothing wrong with a group that is a simple rock band and gets successful. People are naturally going to want to dislike them. Creed is by no means original. They have modelled themselves after bands that have been mentioned already, and really don't stray far from that. As far as their recent songs, they are really bad songs. They are so cheesy and lame i basically want to swerve my car into the other lane on the interstate. They are incredibly over dramatized live. This guy acts like he is a mountain lion or something while he is singing. What the hell does he have to look like that for? Its hilarious. Basically my main view on creed is, they don't really offer much, their songs are pretty boring, incredibly lame, and just basically a band that is just overall pretty lame. There are zillions of better groups out there. Don't be a sheep.

Agreed tool is badass but isn't rock. It's more heavy metal with 3-4 chords in the songs. All the so called rock groups now play the same continuous chords and have no talent whatsoever. I was just trying to say that creed isn't some group that was "made" by someone.

The majority of Creed's songs the guitars are tuned down to D. You know why... so you can play bared chords all over the neck and it sounds cool. On the new album Tremonti discovered open tuning, now he can fret any string anywhere on the neck and strum a chord. So if that isn't lazy I don't know what is.

I know nothing about music from a technical standpoint- that's interesting stuff to know. Good post.
