^_^ what do ya think of creed

[i8gtmf]

Think they are pretty good listen to most of their stuff.Prefer later stuff though :D

[Jibbler]

I think they get too much radio airplay. They are the Bon Jovi of the 2000s. :huh:

My Own Prison was one of the best pure rock albums I have heard in recent memory
The solo of the title track is just beautiful; makes me melt every time

Human Clay was a little more commercial and not quite as heavy as MOP
(okay, so I guess there's no such thing as a good acronymn for My Own Prison! lol)
I still liked it but I found myself skipping tracks once in awhile.
Namely With Arms Wide Open -- Thank you to all the mainstream music media providers
for overplaying that track to the point of nausea

Weathered was a little different. It had alot of experimental sounds, at least for Creed.
Then again, the bass riffs were rather redundant b/c Tremonti had to play Guitar and Bass for the album
Once again, I skipped a few tracks, but I can't say I'm dissappointed.

I do agree with people who say that Scott 'Vedder' Stapp does sound alot like PJ's front man.
But, does he try to do so? I don't really know, but I do know that if we trace every band out
there today back to who they sound like, we'll have eight bands out there.

I understand how people say that Creed is just doing PJ's successes over again, but
the whole point of music making is writing music that you like. And what you like usually
comes from your influences. So the fact that they took what they like and gave it their own touch
is creative in all ways of speaking. Even if some people, and with good reason, like the stuff
that Creed did before Creed did it (PJ).

Point being, Creed is a talented band that write what they like. It so happens that what
they like seems to be what alot of other bands like.

I give them credit because of their musicianship. Will I ever put their musicianship in
the same bracket as DMB's? NEVER!
But I like them just the same.

I would like to hear what others have to say about this
without reverting to a childish "Creed Sucks Donkey Balls!!"
so feel free to retort and tear my post apart.

:blink: uhh yea what u said i admire creed a s a band and umm theyre koolbest friend hahah she jus swoons over stapp opps wasnt sposed to tell u that but ne way have u guys heard their new remix of dont stop dancing?

[Ad]

Ok great band

My own prison best album they did by far

arms wide open got flogged on the radio to death i think the song is about him about to have a new born son if u listen carefully.

my only critic about creed is scott voice doesnt have the variety like some other grunge singers and the music somtimes gets preictable they rely on dynamics alot u know that it starts off soft then the destorted guitar will come in during the chorus

[Jayhawk]

creed is great they need to mix it up a little more they have a tendancy not to change their style but overall its good

[krholmes56]

I remember how I really liked Creed once upon a time, but then all of their songs just get so old sounding its tedious to listen to Creed now. Dave Matthews music never does.

Amen to that!!
