Cowbell Chronicles: And you thought they sucked when they played "well"...

January 19, 2003

And you thought they sucked when they played "well"...

"Creed have issued an official "apology" to fans who were disappointed by the group's Dec. 29, 2002 concert at Chicago's Allstate Arena at which lead singer Scott Stapp was reportedly high out of his mind and could not sing, nearly falling down numerous times during the performance."

Thanks to Uffish.com for bringing this farce to light.

CREED SUCKS ASS... him being high as kite during the show though... that may have passed as semi-entertaining. At least it gives you a better reason to laugh at them.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with Barry - the man's a legend! ;)

you guys kill me! don't even start on the avril thing - i have no idea how or why that phenomenon started and is still raging. if it was some punkass dude it would have died on it's feet after one lame single, but slap a tank top around a set of tits and....

Oops don't I feel like the ass now.

I actually thought you were joking. You are the first person I have ever heard of personally who has ever stood up for Creed. As far as selling out goes, In my oppinion Creed sucked when they were nobodys singing about Jesus and continued to suck when they were famous singing vaguely about Jesus. While I lament your poor taste in music I am impressed by your conviction in defending said taste. Cheers.

P.S. Any thoughts on Lou Reed Vs Britney Spears?
Avril Levigne anyone?

I have a BA in music and am a music teacher, so I think I have a pretty good idea of what is good music and what is not. Bad music does NOT equal sellout, which is what I believe you have confused.

An Excellent concert? Are you fucking tonedeaf? Do you like Barry Manilow and Nickelback too?

I am shaking my head in disbelief.

(Who just might hate Creed...)

that would explain the man's neurotic arm-waving during his live performances. I have to say though, I saw him live last year in Toronto and it was an excellent concert.
