Creed Split

Creed
After 10 years together, Creed have decided to call it a day.

A statement on the band's official website confirms the rumours that have been circulating for some time: "After nearly a decade together, Creed has decided to disband. During their 8 years and 3 albums together Creed achieved countless Rock & Roll milestones and sold over 30 million albums worldwide. With their unprecedented success at radio and their captivating live shows, Creed became one of the most successful acts to rule the charts over the past ten years."

The band have had a turbulent time following the release of their mega-successful multi-million seller 2001 album, 'Weathered'. As we have previously reported, in April last year four fans famously filed a lawsuit against the band for being 'rubbish' at a live show in Chicago. There have been concerns over lead singer Scott Stapp's health which may have contributed to the break up.

Predictably, a greatest hits package will be released before the end of the year. Will you be first in the queue?

DiScuss: How will you remember Creed's crass brand of ChristRock? Should we hold a minute's silence for their tragic passing? Should "With Arms Wide Open" be the new "Lord's Prayer?" Does anyone give a fuck???

I'm sure there's some joke in here about Creed's religion and everyone's prayers now having been answered... but I can't think of it right now.

Oh well.

Were they the worst band ever? If not they were very close.

Fuck me how did a band so fuckin non-discript sell 30 million albums - when you read this sort of stuff you realise it isnt the much maligned record industry that is fucked up - it is the world itself!

I am glad that i moved to pluto a while ago

Re: Creed Split

I was happy to ignore Creed and their sub-Pearl Jam dirge - other than 'What If?' I can't say any of their songs has been even remotely appealing to me.

However, in reading interviews with Scott Stapp, I realised that there has been no bigger cockhead in the history of music. For someone so keen to promote a wholesome, Christian image, I was amused at how he referred to albums as "products" and the places he and the band toured as "markets." It was very clear that his God is actually a wad of green paper and not the creator.

hmmm a great thing to base your support of band on: "There's a lot worse out there"
thats how I choose my toilet roll!

I believe that people have their own loves etc - but in this case I also believe that Ian "There's a lot worse out there" floodedstatue is possibly a fuck head!

Re: Creed Split

I have taken flack from a few DiSsers for saying this but their debut album was really good. It is how silverchair shoulda been instead of releasing that Neon Ballroom mess!

Re: Creed Split

didnt it happen with limp bizkit as well?
when they played manchester i think and they played for 20 minutes or something and got really pissed off with the crowd, whereas at the free concert they played way longer.
so some people decided to get their ticket money back in the form of sueing. or did i just make that whole story up? if it didnt happen it shouldve happened, i mean limp bizkit live!

Re: Creed Split

I know they stormed off when they supported Korn & Cold at the Bradford Rio's in the mid 90's cuz the crowd couldn't give a shit about them.

Yahoo!

I still cringe that I was such a tool two years ago that I actually bought that piece of crap that was Weathered and enjoyed it.

Thankfully I got over it. Amusingly, it was Silverchair that got me over it.

But this wonderfully inevitable piece of news brings me some small joy and redemption.

I heard that Stapp has decided to "adopt" the Tea Party i.e one of Canada's best bands.

It doesn't take a genius to work out that the Tea Party will no doubt turn into one of Canada's worst bands.
