I continue to be confused by why people hate Creed so much... I mean, sure Stapp is an idiot, but MOST rock star singers are in mainstream rock. And the rest of the band was pretty down-to-earth.

The point here is what exactly? :rolleyes:

This is what I don't get, why do people hate all of Creed. Like you said for the most part everyone in the band was always humble about everything and just going out there and doing there best for the fans. Seriously when it comes to mainstream, I don't think you could of got any better than Creed. But now that we have Alterbridge I think we can start over

The point here is what exactly?

People don't like Creed because they were pretty unoriginal. They were just modern rock with a pop edge. They didn't not like the band because of the members. Just the way that they sounded like everything else on the radio.

Know your history man. They started that sound. Creed are the ones that brought that sound out. Bands like Nickelback, 3 Doors Down, Staind and others just copied it. Trust me during there time of entrance too the music scene they were the only one like that. It sold so a lot of bands copied there formula.

Acutally bands like Pearl Jam and Bush were more about the type of sound. Creed just took what they were doing and made it poppy. Anyway. I was just trying to tell you why people didn't like the band. No arguments please .

Yeah, you'd like no arguments, because then you wouldn't lose. Pearl Jam never made anything that sounded like Human Clay. My own Prison was a complete rip-off of Pearl Jam, but Human Clay was Creed's sound. And while it was very radio-friendly, that doesn't make it bad.

And if it isn't the members people didn't like, why do a lot of people dismiss alter bridge simply because it has three former creed members on board?

...Because they played in a band they didn't like..

I say keep an open mind towards music. And don't dismiss a band just because they may have been popular. It so childish to hate a band for such stupid reasons. Unless they killed your parents there is no reason to hate them. If you have a problem hearing them on the radio, turn the **** thing off.

^^^^

Well, I hate some bands... not because they are popular, just because I hate them... but I definitely like more bands than I dislike, and I like more bands than anyone I know...

SSSnake you are officially my idol

I just listened to all the songs you raved to be "fantastic" and the one you rated the lowest, these songs are all mediocre, unoriginal, and boring. I almost feel asleep listening to it. 2/5 for the whole CD, 3/5 max.

Album Rating: 1.0

I have a (very) open mind when it comes to music, but I don't see how that's a stupid reason to be biased against a band. I mean, let's say I know a band, and I really don't like them. If half of the members (however many there are) go off and form a side-project..I'm not going to actively avoid checking them out, but they're going to be much further down my list of things to check out. It just makes sense.

I don't think that was what he was saying. I think he meant don't hate Creed just because they were popular.

I dunno.

another thing id ont get is why everyone compares stapp to veddar...sure the DO sound SIMILAR, but what do you want stapp to do? just not sing because his voice is similar to someone elses? should every guitarist own a completly one of a kind guitar? should ever person who has a car have it built special for them so that no one has similar cars?

Album Rating: 1.0

No, but if you don't like Vedder, then it's perfectly reasonable to also not like Stapp.

i bought this album cause i was curious and open your eyes is mediocre, but the rest of the album, especially metalingus totally blew me away buy it

and also why does everyone diss punk? there is so many good guitarists in punk but everyone just sems to look down on it because of the whole image

Well, mainstream punk DOES tend to be a little... talentless. But I agree, you shouldn't dis a band because of where vh1 and mtv categorize them.
