#Nightline #ScottStapp #Creed #Music #ABCNews
Whether you like him or not, this guy is the poster boy of a style of singing. Creed was all over the radio in the 90s. Plus: he’s been to the top, and the bottom, and found himself through it all. Respect
This
I was in highschool during the whole Seattle scene, and Stapp was one of a host of singers accused of ripping off Eddie Vedder (the dudes from STP, Bush, Staind, etc were others). If you check out their wikipedia page it appears the bassist was let go because he publicly said Stapp was a better songwriter than Vedder, almost certainly acknowledging what was a common criticism at the height of their success.
I get that most people coming here are fans of Scott/Creed... not here to simply troll or pee in the pool. I'm glad Scott's beat his addiction demons and didn't end up like Weiland. Good for him and good for his family. I'm glad to see he has some humility now, because it wasn't considered his strong suit during his glory days. As a guitarist I like Mark Tremonti quite a bit and was recommended this after watching one of his interviews.
Lol, please. Eddie Vedder was the poster boy for the style, Scott Stapp just stole it and ruined it.
??? Yeah, the "style" of TRYING(and failling) to copy Eddie Vedder.
eddie vedder jr
Props to his wife she stuck by him through everything.
she did, he's a very lucky man
He’s got tons of money. She’s good.
@@weathp * they. When someone is married EVERYTHING is at least half lol
She could have easily divorced him and taken the kids, the house, the family pets and a nice monthly payment. I do give her a some respect for not doing that. As much respect as I can give a gold digger, anyway.
Fore sure she most really really love him..that"s true love we all dream about but very few found
You know what? F*** the haters, it's good to see Scott Stapp doing good again.
People hate the truth and that’s what he sung about.
good for Scott for getting his life together and being open about his struggle
Nice he is talking to Connie Chung! She is da best!
His family is the most important thing to him. When you’re hooked on drugs(substances) the drugs are the most important.
I've always enjoyed Scott and Creed, not ashamed to say it, screw the haters.
Listen to his new stuff... LOVE his new album.
@@DanielGagne I will give it a listen.
Same brother
steven t I didn’t know there was haters 😂
@@greygray6230 second maybe only to Nickelback. 😵
"I'm six feet from the edge and thinking maybe six feet ain't so far down"; sad/brilliant. Good to see your a survivor .
Wow Yes! Bizarre ain't it? :)
barry williams that really is a great lyric
That lyric is good but it doesn’t even make any sense
Level Earth Revival it means, I know I’m teetering on the edge, even close to death, but maybe that would be better than living in this world. It’s a line from a person facing demons, and about to the point of giving in and giving up.
Stay strong. Life is not easy! Never give up! Thank you for the video.
Glad he's sober and doing well
I saw Creed in Salt Lake City during the 2002 Winter Olympics. During "With Arms Wide Open", I called my wife who was back at our place with our 5 month old son. I held the phone out so she could hear the song as she was holding him and I was thinking about him. Not gonna lie, tears of joy streamed down my face as I was thinking about my newborn son, while listening to Scott sing about his.
I was at that same show, man. My then wife was pregnant with our son. Similar emotions. We lasted 18 years before divorcing. Gratefully, my son and I are tight.
Loved Creed. So proud of Scott. Rock bottom is brutal.. 👊 Peace
Damn, I love seeing comments like this..
I personally always liked scott stapps's music/songs. I really wish him the best, it's not easy to overcome addiction.
Scott... Keep on keeping on 🙏❤🙏
I't not easy to overcome child abuse.
Mental health sucks
I actually always liked the music but I never realized how nice of a guy he is I guess alcohol does make you a pric
As fred durst said from limp bizkit!!!! Scott stapp is an egotistical maniac
Met him, his wife and young son one Sunday at Halifax Marina. He had recently taken delivery of a new SeaRay Sundancer. Very polite, down to earth and spent time visiting with me and my 10 y/o son who was recovering from brain surgery. Couldn't have been a nicer guy. Seemed shy about his fame. Glad to see you're doing well.
It's been 3 years since this interview and he is still doing well. I saw him in 2019, 2021 and just a few weeks ago and he sounded amazing. I didn't realize that it was going to be an acoustic show but I'm glad it was. Great songs and some great stories. Of course it helped that my seats were about 15 feet from him in the 2nd row. In this internet age, it seems everyone loves to see someone crash and burn. I hope Stapp continues to stay clean.
Strength to Scott and all of us dealing with addictions and mental health issues. Life is a tough road and we all need the strength to stay focused and keep moving forward. God bless!
I know it's been seven months since this was posted but I really hope Scott is still doing well. I always liked Creed's songs. Scott's voice was very distinctive. Such a talented man but more than that, I want him to be physically and mentally healthy and happy.
An acoustic set? No way that's amazing!
Bro Scott looks damn good! Great interview and props to the interviewer for not trying to make him look crazy. Scott is a good man and he made my childhood.
This is such a great interview. Open, honest, real. Well done.
To bad he had huge ego that's the reason they split 💔 up
@@josephj7908 he seems to have learned from it
God bless him! It takes a real man to talk about something so personal.
It takes a weak idiot to get addicted to drugs and whine about his mental problems.
Terry Johnson--he’s a weak idiot and whines about mental ??? At least he confronting his demons and moving forward. Drug addiction and depression are diseases that he obviously has under control. Haters and morons like you are quick to judge. Maybe 1 day you’ll be a rich and famous rock singer. Take a long look in the mirror Terry, I’m sure your ignorant comments stem from your own insecurities and failures.
Terry Johnson you deserve a slap, no actually a punch in the face for that comment
Terry Johnson very true
Marcus Schmück I guess for some of you life has been peachy or ur just bloody ignorant 🙄
Props to him for being so honest about his addictions and not blaming anyone but himself
Takes a very strong heart and soul ❤ Glad to know the whole family have the same strong hearts and souls 😊 Can't wait to purchase his new music to go with all my other Creed music . Stay strong and family oriented 💝😢
The way his face lights up when he says he is a father and a husband.....! God bless Scott.
Creed was my fathers favorite band & he ended up passing away in 2001 when I was 5 years old because of drugs & mental health disorders.. hearing their songs are very very emotional for me after hearing them at his funeral but they will always hold a special place in my heart.. you’re a good man Scott Stapp my father would have loved to meet you ❤️
My sympathy to you. My dad is still with me, but much of my music comes from him and we love Creed. Ironically, I'm a 94 baby, so I've been raised on it.
As a person who struggle with mental illness all his life I say the struggle is real and you shouldn't judge a person that struggles with it.
Agreed because I even deal with it now
Demonic entities, I have the testimony living within me.
@@samperry9507 The testimony living within you? What do you mean by this. I believe mental illness is caused by demonic entities as well sadly.
That last statement is the most powerful statement any rockstar can say. “A husband and a father.” How many names that big can say that without saying something about their career to end an interview, there can’t be many. Glad he got himself the help he needed and he’s become a humble man. Good for you Stapp, always been a fan and always will be 🤘🤘
Love Creed from day one. Huge respect to this guy and his bandmates. I'm glad one of my idols is fighting back against a illness that has taken to many gifted artists. Thanks Scott and Creed for the memories and music that saved me countless times. 3 years sober myself and going strong. Peace everyone.
My friend just lost his son to addiction. It's heartbreaking. Props to anyone who can overcome this.
I was the biggest alcoholic ever! I worked in the oil patch and would drink a 40oz and half a 26 oz bottle of vodka everyday from the age of 26 to 39 before that it was a 26+ oz bottle of everything from 17 to 26. Was hospitalized for pancreatitis the first time for 94 days and the Drs didn't know why I wasn't dying because with my symptoms the patient died I was a medical anomaly and they would bring in the gastroenterologist students to show me to them and talk about me! When imwas finally discharged in good health my first stop on the way home was the liquor store and I was back on the sauce! Was hospitalized 14 more times with the same thing and just couldn't quit! Then when I was 39 my bc was pregnant And I was still boozing it up rite up until I heard my son's heartbeat at his first ultrasound and I started crying and went home and had a couple of drinks and the next morning I just put the cap on the Almost full bottle of vodka and haven't had a drink since! I didn't go brought withdrawal at all and it's a miracle that I didnt because of how much I was consuming because when I've tried quitting before I would end up in hospital for a minimum of 2-3 weeks just with withdrawals.now I'm a sober single dad to an amazing ten year old boy!
@@michaud399 congrats Brian! This freaking powerful, all consuming, road of addiction is like trying to beat the devil himself! So very happy to hear that you made it through this absolutely crushing and devastating storm. Not so many statistically speaking are as lucky! Keep up the great work. And cherish your son every second you get,he was sent to bring you out of your nightmare. I admire your sheer strength, courage, and loyalty. Good luck to you and your wonderful son. And to all of the many wonderful years of sobriety to come. Also, thank you for sharing your story💖
@@michaud399 Best of luck Brian. Stay strong. Be a hero to your son. I lost my father due to alcohol abuse when I was 22, 15 years ago. I miss him in my life. Don't do that to your kid. Stay strong.You're doing great.
Scott Stapp is such an amazing human, he's so open to talk about things nobody really would want to talk about. I'm glad he's cleaned up and happy again, much love for this man, he's helped me so much :((
Scott is one of the most incredible performers I've ever seen in my life ..Seeing Creed was such a life changing experience for me and a memory I hold very dear ..
That's......sad.
@@michaelchmiel166 why are you even here?
@@trendkill3333 To screw with easily triggered fanboys of a flash in the pan band maybe?
Great voice. Passionate and brave. Prayers go out to all those afflicted with depression and anxiety.
If that voice wasn’t so distinctive
We would not be watching this now !
Arms wide open is a classic
Boss Levels distinctive voice?!! All he did was poorly emulate the worst aspects of Eddie Vedder's vocals.
He is still very handsome :) he says he's cleaned up. Good for him :)
Tobeyforever I never thought he was attractive before(and I LOVED them when they came out). He looks great now and very handsome!
Oh yes
He has a bird nose
Thank you Scott Stapp for an amazing interview. God is using you in a mighty way to help others in crisis. Your willingness to open up and candidly share your experiences; and showing the world that there is hope and life on the other side of addiction; is nothing short of prophetic. Please know that millions love and support you on your journey. You're never alone❤
Just saw him in Charlotte last night!! He is amazing on fire!!!! So happy to have that experience!!!
Scott can talk to the kids about drugs and mental better than most because they will listen, kudos to him. 💙
Amen
Yep, he can visit my kids school any time
Dean of Students: Alright, Children.. Here’s the lead Singer of a post-grunge band from the late 90s to talk about the perils of drug use
Children: Yaaaaaaaa!!!’
No they won’t
Scott Stapp is one of the most amazing voices I’ve ever heard in my life. I am so happy that he has come through this journey with his family. I will forever be a fan God bless you.
Hello how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.
He survived because he’s a very very good person who needed and wanted help 🙂I love Creed since I was 16 and I’m 34 now and if I need some good energy I listen to my fave Creed ❤️
I saw Scott last month in NH. I always wanted to, but never got to, see him when he fronted Creed. The girls at my table said they have always followed him and had seen him over 30 times! His show was fantastic! I’m 60 years old now and still rocked out that night with them. His music is spiritual to me, his lyrics sad and beautiful. Thanks Scott for putting it all out there and getting better so that we can continue to evolve with you!
Hello how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.
I saw a Creed concert live and was better than expected. You inspire people to follow a healthy and spiritual lifestyle.
Yes, I love supper speakers and belting out Creed, his music, talent, delivery is supper inspiring.
Lol cringe
i tell you who impressed me live the first time i saw them was TOOL... WOW THEY WERE REALLY TIGHT
I know all about depression anxiety panic attacks that's me in a nut shell ,I wish him and his family all the best .💕
Mississippi Mud I have been there deeply and I have a deep deep passion for people that have suffered through mental issues because I have. But we can overcome these things. I had it all, went through the same thing Scott did and was living under a bridge. If you would like to see my story UA-cam Steve Ray CBN 700 club, or my website Unifiedip.org if there’s anything we can do to help we are there. ❤️
Commenting on a substance abuse video about Creed saying the word nutshell immediately Sting's Layne Staley. Alice vs creed. Lol
@Jose Quintanilla you are right .
@@mississippimud7046 ---yeah, but on the other hand there's a continuum. there are degree of severity. everyone may be on the continuum, but they're NOT all on the same point on the continuum. I would never say to you, 'oh well mud, everybody deals with that.' not everybody deals with what you do. some do. some worse, some more mild. don't let anyone diminish you. your pain matters. don't let anyone diminish that.
I deal w the same exact things , the anxiety makes me feel panicky and short breath and w tht comes the underlining depression it fn can be draining & a day to day fight in my mind.... !
"Forked tongues in bitter mouths,can drive a man to bleed from inside out"
what if.......
@@nickrosas7253 YES!
Say what you will about Creed but they went from a garage band to the biggest band on earth in 2 years. Truly phenomenal.
Dude, I know how it is, that self medicating because you're depressed and anxious, so glad you are sober and happy.
@Trolls Will Be IgnoredI haven't drank in a very long time. Having kids was the catalyst. I didn't want them to have to grow up like I did, in a house full of chaos and drunks. I've actually tried a few times throughout the past 20 years to drink, and it just tastes really nasty to me. I never had an issue with drugs, I experimented when I was younger, like most of my peer group, but never fell into that particular trap, mainly because I didn't like the feeling, especially anything like what we called "go fast" (coke, meth, crack). Acid bored me, X was great at first ( I tried it not long after it was illegalized, friend of mine could get the real deal) but after all the pure supply was gone, it sucked like acid did. So I suppose I am in recovery, and 12 step recovery helps a lot of people, my daddy swore by it. (Yeah, my daddy went Home with 25-26 years sobriety, we fixed our relationship before he went Home. ) It just made me want to drink after I was at a meeting, I'm one of those people who, if you don't see, hear, or are around those who do it, I really don't think about it. I had to face all my demons that I was trying to suppress with booze instead. Mental illness and addiction are practically twins to each other, I've seen it time and again. So however you get off the hamster wheel is all good, least in my eyes. If you're in recovery, however you do it, yay for you! Nobody needs the drama that addiction will bring. I support anyone who wants to bring positive change to their life, because I've been there in the trenches, and it sucks. The more you free yourself from negative people, places and things, the better you feel about you. Namaste.
@Trolls Will Be Ignored That's brilliant! Yay, yay, yay for you!!!! Keep on trucking, I mean it ain't always rainbows and unicorns, but it sure beats the alternative, lol! And thanks about my daddy, I miss him every day, but I know he isn't hurting anymore, and he's just chilling out, waiting on me and the rest of his family. I actually feel like he's around me a lot. I'm at the age now where I'm seeing more and more friends and family go Home, and I've been there before, remember that clear as day, so though I don't want to leave my people anytime soon, lol, when it eventually happens, I'm cool with it. God bless you, Blessed Be, and Namaste dear.
@Trolls Will Be Ignored oh goodness, I'm so very sorry, I know how it feels. I was a wreck for about a year after daddy went Home. What really sucked was I was suckered into marriage by a socio who saw me as an easy mark. So I dunno what your personal life is, but take my word on it and don't leave yourself open to folks who will take advantage of your vulnerability, personal or public life. I'm trying to get a divorce from said socio so I can marry the man I should have married 30 years ago. What a long strange trip it's been. My heartfelt condolences to you, it will get better with time. God bless you dear.
@Trolls Will Be Ignoredwell, while I'm still legally bound to him, he was never my husband. He showed his true colors on the wedding day. It's complicated, it would take me writing a novella to explain it. Yes, he's a sociopath.
I do hope that you can find peace, my bff had both parents fall to dementia, and she's now caring for her uncle who has Alzheimer's, and I'm close to her uncle too, so I do know how it affects someone who loves them. Maybe even think about therapy, as my bff is in therapy as it has really helped her. God bless you dear, and I'm sending up a prayer for you and your family for healing.
@@ChristChickAutistic acid bored you??? How is that possible?
An absolute warrior, I wish him the best. His voice is iconic and I admire him for wearing his heart on his sleeve.
It takes a brave soul to admit their demons and mistakes. Refreshing to see what real love, support, and HUMILITY, can do for ANYONE. Kudos to Scott for laughing out loud at his kids about your meme - that's HEALTHY living right there! I say RIGHT ON bro, keep up the good work you and your beautiful wife, Jaqueline are inspiring!
We've seen our share of ups and downs
Oh how quickly life can turn around
In an instant
It feels so good to reunite
Within yourself and within your mind
Let's find peace there.
“There is a light despite the darkness, there is color despite the gray.”
I’m sooo glad to see Scott looking happy, healthy and sounding strong mentally and emotionally! I thought he would never make it to this point from the depths of darkness he had dropped to. Even when he and his wife appeared on that reality show to address their relationship issues he was open about his mental health problems and his past drug and alcohol abuse but he hadn’t reached the point of recovery and healthcare to really achieve an ability to appear and respond in a reasonable and “normal” way. His reactions and responses to situations that arose on that show reflected that he was not quite in an emotionally or mentally healthy state and needed to continue pursuing treatment and apparently he became aware of this at some point because he’s obviously come sooo far from how he looked and sounded even then which was several years after his breakdown/meltdown.
It’s encouraging and inspiring to see a celebrity who has been in the depths of hell and hovered on the edge of complete destruction and death come back to a place of health, happiness and be a role model and be completely open about the struggle with overcoming mental health issues, their failures to address it well or properly and admit how their choices contributed to exacerbating the problems without making excuses or trying to paint it in a better light. He practically exudes a glow of health and joy now! I couldn’t be happier for him and his family!
Creed was huge to me in my formative years entering adolescence, Weathered had just released when I was in 6th grade and was the primary reason why I wanted to learn how to play guitar. I wish I could tell Scott, Mark, and Scott Phillips how much their music impacted me growing up.
Gonna turn this around and find a purpose for pain. Simply awesome Scott
Moved me to tears. Beyond thrilled to have you back, Scott. Always have and always will be a HUGE fan. Much love from Malaysia
I self medicated my depression and anxiety for many, many years... It took me to such a dark state of despair... It landed me in and out of jail like 15 times, so many rehabs, detoxes, shelters, psych wards, etc... I ended up living on the streets for a few years... Sleeping on park benches, project stairwells, subways in manhattan, etc... I dont know how i survived through those 15 years or so of hell, but i did... My older brother hung himself in 2014 and lost his battle with depression and addiction... I wouldnt wish this shit on anyone, not even my worst enemy... Now, i have about 3 years off all mind and mood altering substances, but i still struggle immensely with major depression and anxiety .. Ive been isolating pretty much 24/7 ..sleeping...shades drawn, in a dark room, alone... No social life..no ambition..no motivation .. Depression can be paralyzing.. I wake up dreading the day, and feel as if im walking around with weights on my legs... Stories like this give me hope that i can find happiness some day and purpose.. Id love to have a family some day.. Im 32 years old ..no plan. No career .. I just enrolled in school (better late than never i guess) and am going on my 4th semester..ive made the deans list every semester so far somehow .. Which is cool, but i have so much more i need to do, but my mind and body wont allow me to.. I always get in my own way... I hope to soon get in a better state of mind, find a decent career, get my own place (because im currently staying with family..and at 32 years old that is really embarrassing to accept) ..i hope to find a good woman like Scott has, and children to love and give me purpose... Sorry for rambling..but things have been feeling really hopeless lately, and ive been having unhealthy thoughts.. I just want to be normal and be a productive human being like the majority of society.. I need to man up.. But mental health is impeding my ability to go anywhere in life.. Anyway.. I hope everyone out there struggling finds purpose in their lives and happiness.. Keep fighting .. And to those who are struggling with addiction, there is a better way..i may still be miserable, but id rather be where i am now than where i was when i was shooting dope
Deftones 456 I hope you’re doing well My Friend...There are many that are standing with you., I’m one of them. Dealing with depression, anxiety, and panic attacks by hiding within ourselves isn’t healthy, mentally and physically. Stay strong!!!
How have you been? I hope that the Pandemic hasn't been too much for you.
This guy can flat out sing. Very glad to see him getting better and moving forward.
Man, such a good dude. Glad he’s doing better and love his message. He’s a treasure
Wow... “My Grammys are my children and my wife.” I’m SO happy for you and your recovery. You are one of the most legit artists I’ve ever experienced. God bless you my Brother.
Creed was a lifesaver for me, brought me out of a depressed state i couldnt get out of, my own prison i still listen too. Im glad he's happy and his spirit is in a good place.
I am so proud of this guy. Having a downfall so public, and to come back and work so hard to sort his life out is inspirational. Go listen to some of his recent live performances. He sounds just as good as he ever did.
Welcome back Scott. We missed you so much!! Creed is incomplete without your vocal. A big tight hug from Himalaya in India!!
I love creed and scott man, has an amazing voice. I dont understand the hate.
I have always been a fan. I do have to say his style of singing is sometimes a little over the top with his strange emphasis on how he pronounces his lyrics. He probably would not have gotten the hate if he pronounced his lyrics with a little more normalcy. I am not hating....I am still a super fan of how his music sounds and makes me feel.
@@johnmarche4459 Today could be the last day you will drink.
@@johnmarche4459 god bless you. Tomorrow will be the last day. Have faith into the lord and savior and everything will fall into place. Find new hobbies and start reading success stories on people who have been in your situation. A lot of times we drink to hide the pain, and it builds up trash, and when you become sober you will find it hard to deal with your problems. Its better now then never. Get connected with a support group thats everything when it comes to revovery. :) you can do it. Be the example.
@@David-vn2id the reason I say tomorrow because he seems very sad, and it seems like he has already taken a sip. Life is about habbits and its about having healthy habbits to have a good life.
@@augusthoerth1373 You seem to have all the answers, perhaps the best thing we could do is just listen and wait for him to chime in. That goes for me too....
I just can’t get over this how happy it makes me. I’m so proud of you Scott. I’m going to buy your album to support you and your recovery. People think just because you’re a rockstar in a multimillionaire that everything is just peachy sunshine rainbows. There is great times but there’s also very very dark dark times.He found what was most important. I did too.
Steve Ray His new album is fantastic and his shows are great rock shows that are uplifting the new music is awesome live! If anyone wants to really understand what he went through I always tell people by his book Sinners Creed really get insight to his childhood and what was happening at the height of Creed fame! You leave that book and his songs really have even more meaning!
I love Creed! Their first album is all I listened to while going through a horrible divorce back in the day. Glad to see Scott get through his struggles. Very unique voice. I don't get all of the haters.
That's just beautiful.. Always been a fan of Creed.. Good on you Scott Stapp for turning your life around.. Been listening to gone too soon on repeat.. Wonderful track!
Say what you will about his music, the guy has character. That he battled through speaks volumes.
The man has his shit together again. Great job brother! LOVE the new songs- long live real meaningful music.
Mad Props #ScottStapp for going public and becoming transparent! Some people on on social media can be the worse incognito bully’s out there. But, what these bully’s don’t get is that this example of strength and overcoming the addiction and address mental health will help MORE. ✊🏽 💕 💯💯
So Happy to See Scott turn his life around. His story hits real close to home for me. God bless
I don't give a shit what anyone says... I loved Creed back in the early 2000s... They had so many good iconic songs! One Last Breath still my favorite song.
If not for Creed, Alter Bridge wouldn't exist. I always liked Creed and Scott's voice. So glad to see him back in a good place and making great new music!
I love both bands.
It makes me really happy to see this guy doing well. Because I really thought we were going to lose him too. Love him or hate him. He left a lasting mark in the rock music industry.
Creed got me through some tough times back in the day. I know all too well the hell of mental instability (depression, anxiety, isolation). I’m glad Scott was honest and humble about what he went through. I’m glad his recovery was able to lead him back to singing again. Keep fighting the fight and keep looking up.
“There is a light, despite the darkness.” Something I needed to hear, I’m glad that you’re continuing to stay strong Scott, & battles your addictions/personal demons. I’ve liked Creed ever since I was a teen. This was a moving interview, to stumble upon, as I try to deal and get through grief, loss, deep sadness, & a feeling of hopelessness of my own. 💛
I love your new album Scott! Hoping for much success with it and greatness in your personal life.
I've dealt with depression and anxiety in my life. Recovery is a never ending journey.
God bless you!
He's entitled to overcome.
They were known as a "Christian Rock Band". You know what? Just because you follow Christ doesn't mean you are perfect. We are human and will make mistakes. Thank God that Scott came around! Love you bro!
We follow Christ precisely BECAUSE we are not perfect.
Glad he made it out of the darkness....
A new Creed album would also be cool.
Check out times of grace
I really hope Scott knows his Family, Friends, and Fans love him and are very proud of him!
Yes!!!!
I saw Creed years ago. Recently Scott Stapp is on FIRE. He has up'd his game & sounds so darn good. Thank you Scott. God Bless. Keep moving forward & thank you
So glad to hear from you! welcome back dear Scott!! I really wish to see your concert! Waiting for you here in Italy!! good job dude, never give up!
It's awesome to see such heartfelt and kind comments.
Nothing but goodwishes to his new album and future plans. Creed was my go to music during college days.
Scott Stapp Seems to be a very honest man who is blessed by his good wife and children who really love him..and its nice to see that he got so much positive energy ..the new album is really good almost to good becase it is damn hard to get some of the songs out of your head again..
Stapp always beats all odds and comes out a winner. What a great person he's become!
If there's one thing this world needs right now its MORE ROCK N ROLL
Tell me about it. I had to make my own music lol
Glad he’s put the pieces back together . He looks great .wish u the best
What a great interview and I'm so glad he is in a good place. It's wonderful to how he speaks of his family. Inspiring! Thanks for sharing Scott!
Great to see him doing well. Warms my heart. Beautiful family.
Godspeed.
Good for you.
Looking forward to the new
music.🎶🌼🎸
Good for you. Glad your back i will be buying that new music. Love hugs and prayers
I’m still a fan of Creed. I hope they eventually back together
One of rock music's greatest voices. So happy to see how well he is doing
I'm so happy that Scott is in a great place, what a long and winding road. A big thanks to Jacqueline for being there for her husband, and holding her family together :P
I’m soooo glad he is back. This world needs his voice !!!
God bless you, Scott! So happy that you found a way out of that dark place. Your fans, friends and, most importantly, family were concerned you wouldn't. Thrilled and excited to hear your voice for years to come!
A purpose for pain is definitely one of my favorite songs. Love this guy man. Keep rockin'🤘🤘
That’s awesome bro. I am also in recovery. Hard to believe the power of a substance. That shit will take everything away. Just keeps taking and taking. I am sober now 2 years, proud as hell to be part of the brotherhood man.
I listen to Creed pretty much everyday! I've always loved Scott's voice. So glad he is a survivor. But most of all that he is a husband and a father!!
Kimberle theyre a great band
Scott IS the voice.. I am glad he is moving forward. Truly amazing lyrics.
BEAUTIFUL VOICE, SO HAPPY HE CAME THROUGH THE DARK TIMES ! MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOU'RE FAMILY SCOTT ! ♥
Love overcomers and seems like he has so much to live and sober up for. God Bless
3:06, Make that ONE OF THE BIGGEST BAND IN THE WORLD! CREED ROCKS 4EVA! THE EPITOME SOUND OF THE NINETIES!! OH GOD, IF ONLY I HAD A TIME MACHINE; OLD SKOOL 4EVA!
SOOO much respect for Scott Stapp... I feel the pain of where he was because I'm in a very very dark place. When I look in a mirror I turn me head.. can't look at myself. So I wish him a lifetime of happiness. Go gettem...
Congrats Scott. Keep coming back my friend. Enormous loves and hugs my friend. I am clean and sober for 4 years and 1 month and 9 days.
I'm glad he's back and that he got help in managing his mental health. I completely understand where he's coming from.
