Creed?

[DanH]

I like the early Creed music and heard that after breaking up and some members forming Alter Bridge that the original Creed is back and putting out new music again..Anyone know if this is true?

No...thats just thier former lead singer Scott Stapp with his new solo album. Its pretty solid and does remind everyone of Creed. But Stapp's vocals are so indentified with Creed thats never gonna change.

I thought he was asking if Alter Bridge was "Creed minus Stapp" and the answer is "yes," isn't it?

I wierdly thought he was asking if the Orginal Creed was back lol.

[Dennis K]

Stapp's vocals are indentified as being a cheap Eddie Vedder impersonation, and that's never gonna change.


Now you're talking! :)

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Now you're talking because Stapp is my HERO ! :)



Hell yeah ! ;)

Who's your favorite faux Christian ex-rock star?


"So how did your last night in Gainesville go?" you curiously ask. "Sit down and let me tell you the tale of the best night of my life," I anxiously reply.

Lead Singer of Creed Gets Punk'd

Friday, July 29. My last night in Gainesville. I've had my party and said my goodbyes to most of my friends. One group actually didn't make it to the party, but were possibly still coming, and instead of having them walk into an empty house (literally-- no furniture) devoid of people, I went over to their place.

So I'm saying goodbye to pals Jeanine and Heather. They have a few friends over to their place and are already stoned and drunk, seemingly ready for bed quite soon. I hear mumbling in the other room of some kids leaving soon because they have to go see Scott Stapp. My pop culture radar is not currently on, so I'm missing the reference. Instead, I think they're just talking about a friend who's driving in from out of town. But they're quite adamant about seeing Scott. "I'm fucking walking to Denny's to see Scott if I have to, I don't care if no one else goes!" one kid says.

So I'm curious and ask one of the guys what's going on. He tells me the background story: Apparently, one of their friends met Scott Stapp (who, because I find no problem with conflation, will for the rest of the story be referred to as "Creed") at an airport bar and the girl pretended to be interested. At the end of their conversation, he asked for her number and because she was going to Amsterdam, she gave Creed her friend's number instead. The girl then calls her friend and warns her that Creed might be calling her sometime in the future for a hook-up.

Which he does. Friday night. He flew into Orlando and gave the girl a call. The girl, thrilled at the prospect of making Creed look like an idiot, plays along. "You should drive up to Gainesville tonight to see me!" she says. Creed, because his star has fallen quite a bit recently (if you hadn't noticed) eagerly accepts the offer to drive 2 hours to get some pussy. I guess the groupies aren't lining up outside the airport like they used to.

I heard through the grapevine that night that Creed had actually kicked Scott Stapp out of their band. I don't know if this is true or not as no one on the Internet has any stories about it. But I googled him recently and found out that his solo career isn't taking off nearly like he expected, despite being the first released single off the Passion of the Christ Songs CD-- songs inspired by the movie. Mel Gibson hand picked him for a special screening, and he wrote a song after he was so personally affected by the movie. Douche.

Anyway, so the guy who was so spiritually affected by The Passion of the Christ is now hightailing it to Gainesville to tag a piece of ass he met in an airport bar. And he's having his ghettotastic hootchie skanky Jersey girl sleaze of a sister drive him. Yes, Creed is making his sister drive him to the Gainesville Denny's for a booty call.

So this group from the party makes it over to Denny's, strategically choosing places all around the Denny's so that we can watch what goes down. It's 3am on a Friday, so of course the place is packed with drunk kids getting out of the bars, who have no idea what they're about to be in for. Jeanine, Heather, and I all have prime seating-- we're directly next to the booth with the girl who has been talking to Creed, as well as her 5 friends who are all in on the joke and have been planning extra embarrassing things to do to him. The girl who is keeping track of him via cell phone convos lets me know that Creed has been in fine form so far tonight. Here is how one of the conversations went:

Creed: "Do you have an acoustic guitar with you in Gainesville?"
Her: "Um, yeah."
Creed: "Good, maybe you can help me write my new hit single!"
Me, after hearing the story: "I applaud your ability not to vomit at that."

Now we're convinced he's on his way. We hear the countdown from the table next to us: "He's in Micanopy!" "He's passing UF!" "He's pulling into the parking lot!" The excitement is killing me. And then he enters. Creed steps into the Gainesville Denny's, wearing a wife beater and slick running pants, desperately trying to find his hookup. My life is complete.

The girl who's been talking on the phone with Creed has a friend who recently broke his arm. So as soon as Creedy walks in, he screams, "Oh my god! You're Scott Stapp! You're my favorite singer ever! Sign my cast!" Creed, probably even himself realizing how sucky it is to be the (former) lead singer of Creed, denies it. "I get that a lot... I just look like him. I'm not him." HA!

Then the Denny's cop comes over: "Both of you, outta here! No screaming in Denny's! Manager's orders!" Delicious. The lead singer of Creed is getting kicked out of the Gainesville Denny's.

Cast arm boy obviously doesn't want our fun to be over so quickly, so he sweet talks the cop and gets him to rescind his ejection. Creedy keeps walking around, trying to find the girl he talked to in the airport bar, feverishly running to the back to get better cell phone reception and then moving back to the front to try to find her. Of course, the girl has stopped answering her phone now and the Denny's partrons are just watching Creed walk around looking desperately horny.

And the best part is watching the other people as they notice who this guy is. "Hey, that's the Creed guy!" they all say as he walks past them. Then, 5 seconds later and as soon as he's out of earshot: "Wait, who cares? Creed sucks!" This is seriously the reaction of every table that I hear as he walks by. So sad, for him. Oh, and the dude is like 5'6". I'm not joking. When he walked by, he was at least (AT LEAST) 3 inches shorter than me. Midget.

Now there are about 12 people who know about what's going on. And like the rats in Muppets Take Manhattan who run around under the tables at that fancy restuarant spreading the buzz that Manhattan Melodies is going to be a smash hit show, we start spreading the ruse that has been pulled on Creed. Soon, most of the tables and the wait staff is informed of what's going on. "Pathetic!" is the most common reaction.

To keep him there as long as possible, groups of girls keep going over to him and flirting and trying to find out what he's doing in Gainesville. Cast arm boy even printed out Scott Stapp's headshot and goes over to ask him to sign it. You'd think that would be an obvious sign that he was being tricked, but apparently Creed is cocky enough to think that people regularly carry around his photograph everywhere like it's an American Express card.

Jeanine, perfect brilliant girl she is, ran over to the juke box to see if it happened to have a Creed song on it. Unfortunately, it didn't. Or maybe fortunately. For if "Arms Wide Open" began playing as he was running around the Denny's, I probably would've soiled myself laughing.

At the end of the night, we convince Jeanine to go ask to take a picture with Creed by saying it was her birthday (it was, only 4 days earlier). When she goes to get the picture, all 12 of us who are in on the joke jump in the photo. Unfortunately, the person taking the picture couldn't work the flash, so it just looks like a mess of clumpy dark blobs. But I know that one girl took a bunch of pictures of Creed running around the Denny's-- mostly of the back of his head-- and I want them. If anyone knows where to get these, let me know.

So that was my last night in Gainesville. Creed eventually got back in his car and drove home to Orlando, having unsuccessfully found his pussy for the night. What a sad sad man. Super douche.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Damn...I had some funny comments added under each statement.


But dude..I laughed my ass off. I thought this was the funniest thing possible. One guy is so pissed and angry his girl may get laid by Scott Stapp he goes to a Denny's at 3am.


I did think Stapp was taller. But hell...great story. I loved the comment where Stapp couldn't afford to drive himself to Gainsville. I mean...whats he do when he tours ? Hitches rides now ? Rides with truckers.

The cop threatenin to toss Stapp outta Denny's was the topper. I nearly choked. No one raises hell like Scott Stapp. He's out lookin for p-ssy and he's gonna raise hell in Denny's...fuck the police!!

Funny article....any on Axl Rose ? :D

[CaptMagellan]

Well, I thought it was pretty funny.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

I'm a Stapp fan and even I thought It had some funny moments. Now I'm gonna have some fun..... :evilsmile

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Lead Singer of Creed Gets Punk'd

Friday, July 29. My last night in Gainesville. I've had my party and said my goodbyes to most of my friends. One group actually didn't make it to the party, but were possibly still coming, and instead of having them walk into an empty house (literally-- no furniture) devoid of people, I went over to their place.

Translation: Its my last night in Gainsville and I'm horny. So a friend of a friend...of a friend invites us to a party where I'm sure to get laid!


So I'm saying goodbye to pals Jeanine and Heather. They have a few friends over to their place and are already stoned and drunk, seemingly ready for bed quite soon. I hear mumbling in the other room of some kids leaving soon because they have to go see Scott Stapp. My pop culture radar is not currently on, so I'm missing the reference. Instead, I think they're just talking about a friend who's driving in from out of town. But they're quite adamant about seeing Scott. "I'm fucking walking to Denny's to see Scott if I have to, I don't care if no one else goes!" one kid says.

Translation: I get to the party and see 2 babes I so wanna nail. But I'm being c*ck blocked by thier love for this Scott Stapp. One horny girl screams she's gonna fuckin run to Denny's to nail that rich bastard. Me horny as hell can only feel....anger.

So I'm curious and ask one of the guys what's going on. He tells me the background story: Apparently, one of their friends met Scott Stapp (who, because I find no problem with conflation, will for the rest of the story be referred to as "Creed") at an airport bar and the girl pretended to be interested. At the end of their conversation, he asked for her number and because she was going to Amsterdam, she gave Creed her friend's number instead. The girl then calls her friend and warns her that Creed might be calling her sometime in the future for a hook-up.

Translation: I'm pissed. I'm at this freakin party with these stoned losers. The girl I wanna get my freak on with is more interested in nailing a pop star from a band I really like. Is that some damn luck ?

Which he does. Friday night. He flew into Orlando and gave the girl a call. The girl, thrilled at the prospect of making Creed look like an idiot, plays along. "You should drive up to Gainesville tonight to see me!" she says. Creed, because his star has fallen quite a bit recently (if you hadn't noticed) eagerly accepts the offer to drive 2 hours to get some pussy. I guess the groupies aren't lining up outside the airport like they used to.

Translation: So she calls him which just pisses me off futher. I can't help but feel this inate jealousy towards Stapp. He's rich,can sing and get women. Me I can't play one lick and I barely have the sex I know Stapp has. F-ckin B.S. is what it is.

I heard through the grapevine that night that Creed had actually kicked Scott Stapp out of their band. I don't know if this is true or not as no one on the Internet has any stories about it. But I googled him recently and found out that his solo career isn't taking off nearly like he expected, despite being the first released single off the Passion of the Christ Songs CD-- songs inspired by the movie. Mel Gibson hand picked him for a special screening, and he wrote a song after he was so personally affected by the movie. Douche.

Translation: This girl being so hot for Stapp ticks me off. I mean...what kinda world is this ? Girl I go to party to f*ck ends up goin crazy over Scott Stapp ! So I do what I usually do and look all over the internet to show this girl what a loser Stapp is. I find out that he did songs for Mel Gibson's movie and it only makes her more horny ! Douche....


Anyway, so the guy who was so spiritually affected by The Passion of the Christ is now hightailing it to Gainesville to tag a piece of ass he met in an airport bar. And he's having his ghettotastic hootchie skanky Jersey girl sleaze of a sister drive him. Yes, Creed is making his sister drive him to the Gainesville Denny's for a booty call.

Translation: While I call my sister for a ride I talk shit about Stapp. I claim he's such a loser and the girl gives me the cold shoulder. How dare her ! So my sister gets us to the Denny's and tells us to walk back since its really late and were all stupied for even believing this B.S. story.


end of part 1.... :evilsmile

I can't believe a thread about Scott Stapp has gone in this long without it being about how much he blows.

[Patrick Ferguson]

ECW,

Um, there are pictures -- photographs -- of this story, man.

You can't seriously tell me that Stapp's star hasn't faded fast.

You still like Creed -- cool, but even my high school friends that used to like them have moved on, and that's pretty representative of a lot of the world, too.

He'll still be able to make a good living, but you know, so will Kenny G. It doesn't mean he isn't pathetic.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

I decided to not post this one and have edited it. I felt it was too nasty on the comments and I'm not out to hurt anyones feelings. So this one is gone.

Hey if he has pictures all power to him...but he tells us in this that the pictures all of the back of his head and fuzzy. I have pictures taken with Elvis and John Lennon. Thier fuzzy and all....but I swear.

More or less I found this a funny story and decided to have some fun with it. If he did have pictures of this and he posted it with the story It would have led more crdence to the story. But for now its a funny story about some guy rantin about Scott Stapp and Denny's. ;)

Again I like him as a singer. I always like the music. Thats not gonna change. He can suck as a human being but so does a lotta pop/rock stars.

Plus come on...do you honestly believe this story about a Denny's and Scott Stapp ? I believe the 311/Stapp fight more than this since MTV and other major sites picked up on it.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

At the end of the night, we convince Jeanine to go ask to take a picture with Creed by saying it was her birthday (it was, only 4 days earlier). When she goes to get the picture, all 12 of us who are in on the joke jump in the photo.

Here ya go....again Patrick I found this to be a funny orginal story so I decided to have fun with it. I can't wait to read one with Axl Rose.

Adluck...hopefully ya don't get pissed about the comments I made. I was going for some comedy and hopefully it won't hurt your feelings about the story. If It does...I will edit the 2 posts. Thanks.

Hey, I'm easy. I just wanted to post a relatively funny story since this was a Creed thread. If this was a CREED APPRECIATION thread, I wouldn't have put it here. I don't know if it is true or not. I just know that I thought this was funny. And I thought your comments were funny too. Post part 2!

My opinion, and it is only mine, is that Stapp is a doofus.

[DDM]

Will Scott Stapp cover Ricky Martin? It would be funny seeing him sing "Living La Vida Loca."

[SUPERECWFAN1]

" I Just Heard , the News Today , Seems III'''MMMM Liiviin LLLLLLAAAAA Viiidddaaa Looocccaaa !!!" More poses as the woman can't get near him as Stapp takes the ultra CHRIST POSE mixed in with the ANGRY ROCK SNARL POSE!!
