Is there anyone that actually likes Creed?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

Let's see.

[eyesroll]

1. Hell, I'm not a music junkie or a hipster or anything

and I hate Creed.


Even if I liked their music, I'd hate them because of Nickleback, Hoobastank and the rest of that lot that they may not have actually spawned, but they were there first, so I'm blaming Creed anyway.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

4. It's the bombast. The total utter lack of subtlety. The primary colours.

[Fenris]

2. Apparently someone liked "My Sacrifice."

I'll just assume they are deaf.

[redqueen]

3. All the smartasses will be voting yes just to mess with the results

but you knew that, right?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

5. It's Hedges. He has a good dozen sock-puppets for occasions such as these.

[eyesroll]

9. I bet he's digging out

"I_heart_Scott_Stapp" right as we speak...

[Screaming Lord Byron]

12. Nah. It has to involve 'Scott Stapp' 'Pestilence' and 'wang'

In some way.

[I_heart_Scott_Stapp]

14. You are entirely too presumptive.

And BLASPHEMOUS!

[eyesroll]

15. Ooh!

And maybe "Rocksouttonickelbackbutmakeslovetogoodcharlotte" will make an appearance later!

[Screaming Lord Byron]

16. Only if you're a very good girl.

Clearly.

[eyesroll]

19. Oh, ick.

That's it.

No more "Stacie the Perv" threads for you.

:spank:

[Screaming Lord Byron]

24. Soz.

Well, you started it.

[eyesroll]

25. Yes...but just because I insinuated hedges wanted

to make love to Good Charlotte does not mean I have to be involved in any way.

I mean, I'm sure Charlotte's good enough for both of us...but I think I'll let him slide on that one...

[Screaming Lord Byron]

27. I don't know any girls called Charlotte.

But if I find any, I'll let Hedges know.

[sus]

6. bible beaters!

and cut your hair!

[Beware the Beast Man]

7. I like Apollo Creed

And Helios Creed is pretty good, from what I've heard of his work. :shrug:

[jonnyblitz]

8. I have never listened to them...

I take it I am not missing anything. :shrug:

[WoodrowFan]

10. hell yes, "Bad Moon Rising" ROCKS

so does "Down on the Bayouu" and "Proud Mary!"

what?

WHO??

nevermind

[ceile]

11. Not just "no", but "HELL NO"

[Screaming Lord Byron]

13. Agreed.

[redqueen]

17. And now, because I cannot get WITH ARMS WIDE OPEN out of my HEAD

I will subject you to THIS!





:evilgrin:

[eyesroll]

21. Oh, dear lord...

Is he doing what I think he is to himself?

[redqueen]

23. I can only assume he is

I think he loves himself more than anyone else does.

Which is a whole lot - the maniac site I found those pics at has 334 more ... :scared:

[Screaming Lord Byron]

22. Isn't that just a wee bit gay?

[redqueen]

26. Maybe?

Is it gayer to have a 16"x12" version that stupid cross tattooed all over your back?

The net is a very scary place.

[eyesroll]

28. Is it gay to be in love with yourself?

By corrollary...it would be gay to self-love, wouldn't it?

Not that I'm the best person to be asking this at the moment.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

29. I think maybe he's just egoamorous.

He's in love with himself. Clearly.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

18. I like Creede

Colorado:)

[mrboba1]

20. C'mon smartasses (and Creed lovers ?)

We're falling behind!!!

:evilgrin:

on edit: and I am not a sock-puppet!!

[Nikia]

30. I like a few songs

Yes, I know there's better stuff out there, but the music isn't terrible and some of the songs speak to me. I'll have to be in the minority here. Don't hate me. It's just my preference.

[Kat45]

31. I like Creed.

I'll admit that I haven't heard that much of their stuff, but I liked all that I heard. I like the music and I like his voice. (He's not bad looking either.) I have a friend who really loves Creed and bought all their albums.

But what I want to know is this: why are people (here) always making fun of Creed and putting them down? I just don't see anything about them to annoy folks so much--and I can find plenty of ubiquitous bands that totally suck and annoy me to no end.

[redqueen]

32. Well, music aside

(since that's a matter of taste and we all know how that goes...) have you ever seen one of their videos?

[Kat45]

33. No. I don't think I've seen more than a clip here and there.

What are their videos like?

[redqueen]

34. I'm going to reserve comment

but I suggest that you check one out... I'm sure there are dozens of fansites you can stream some from. If you don't mind, please let us know what you think after seeing the performance. I'm curious to know if it changes your perception any. I know of more than one person who liked their music until they saw their videos.

[Kat45]

35. Interesting. Now you've got me curious.

I'll have to look for a video.

[Kat45]

36. Dupe. Sorry.

[miss_kitty]

37. ok. so what did creed do?

i have recounted my 'ostrich posture' vis a vis 70's music on other threads...it was a self-defence mechanism...are they a 70's band? i didn't vote on the poll, because 'i don't know what creed did' was not there...i'm thinking i might be a 'no' though....

[PittPoliSci]

38. creed and nickelback.

the same damn band, same crummy music, same shit different package.

VOTE NO!

[UTUSN]

39. Well, *I* Like "Arms Wide Open" or Whatever It Is n/t

[last_texas_dem]

40. If not hating equates to liking, I suppose I do

I remember hearing "My Own Prison" (the single) when I was a freshman in high school and actually liking it quite a bit. I liked the sludgy/dreary/depressing sound of it; I wasn't liking much new rock at the time ('97) but liked it because it had a sort-of early nineties grunge sound. (Now the whole "neo-grunge" thing has been pretty much played out, but it seemed a bit novel at the time.)

I think I'd like Creed pretty well if they'd stopped there and just been one-hit wonders; since then I've liked a couple singles by them ("One" and, grudgingly "With Arms Wide Open") but the similarity in all their singles and the fact that they've been overplayed to death by so many radio stations has caused them to grate on me quite a bit.

Also, Scott Stapp's preachiness and Jesus Christ-posing is more than a little grating (although my opinion of him proved quite a bit when I read an interview with him and he came across as a liberal Christian); and Creed was like the favorite rock band (probably the only one they were allowed to listen to) of a lot of the preachy, hypocritical fundies I went to high school with- so the fans helped to lessen my opinion of the band, even though I try to not take them into consideration.

I think Alter Bridge (Creed minus Stapp) could be an improvement. I've just heard one single and it has an awesome guitar solo (at least to this non-musician's ears...)
