    People give Scott a ton of shit for his past, but I assure you, he is one of the most genuine people in music. When I met him in 2015 (before his breakdown), he was so invested in meeting the fans and making sure he left an impact on us. He was so nice, and he was so invested in our questions, our expressions of love for his craft, and really did surprise me. When I saw him live a year later, he recognized me and had his drummer toss me a stick. I cant thank this man enough for his music and his personal actions towards me as a fan, and for that, I will always be a fan, through think and thin. I really dont care if you like the band or not, but understand those of us who do like them, love them just as much as you love your favorite band, and we have our reasons why.

    My Own Prison is a spectacular debut record. The whole album from start to finish is raw and has a very low budget/production quality to it which adds to it's greatness. A self financed independent album that went on to sell 10 million+ copies. Still listen to it 20 years later.

    Creed is a great band and Scott Stapp is a good guy. He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder a few years back. They have kickass songs. Anyone who listens to My Sacrifice and says its a bad song doesn't know good music in my eyes

      Idk, it's one my least fav creed songs. They started out with great singles on my own prison, but the ballads they kept putting out later kinda gave them a misconception or stigma and ppl didn't really know just how good their albums were. Like if you see a person hating on creed, you hear the same ole with arms wide upoaan, or will you take me higheer. Never singing torn, unforgiven, sister, ode, beautiful, say I ect. The radio pushing their ballads really kinda made ppl judge them before they actually gave all their songs a shot.

    • @berserker2265
      @berserker2265 6 років тому +2

      Kris Sanders true, they have great songs it’s just unfortunate that most of them are underrated over the not so good ones like “my sacrifice, higher, one last breath” all those basic songs that get slapped in front of you over the amazing underrated songs like “never die, faceless man, torn, weathered, bullets, who’s got my back and the list goes on.

    Not really a fan of creed, but calling them as "not good" is immature, if something is different than what you prefer, well it doesnt mean that its not good. Mark tremonti is a beast guitarist, heard him on alterbridge and some solo work. Creed is not my cup of tea, but yeah they dont suck like what people say.

No one else sang. I know every word to every song!! Love them all!! Every video is intense!!! To bad they didn't make more good ones. Scott is living for the Lord now and has a beautiful wife. Hope all is well today with all the guys in the band.

    This album came out when I was 11. I heard the song One first and loved it, loved the opening guitar riff and really started getting into guitar then. I can actually remember being in the alley behind my house in Baltimore city on my bike with my headphones and a pocket radio listening to WHFS when I first heard the song.

      Austin Moser Yeah it stinks that the haters are missing out on the lesser known Creed songs such as Torn, illusion, are you ready, etc. Nickelback was a band I never really liked. I like a few songs by them but I am really not a fan of Chad Kroeger's voice. It's too bad that people are so quick to jumping onto the hate bandwagon when it comes to certain bands.

I was only 10 and prally only 10 year old with my own prison album. But I still luv me a old classic nickelback album. The state, curb, silverside up and even some picked out on their other albums. So, When ppl just use the creed and nickelback are worse all time bands, I know their just following what everyone else is saying. Fads aren't facts.

The only problem is the internet is ppl would rather get free music, vids ect & that prevents the Artist from making profits in allot of ways. He needs to stay focused on radio stations around the world, interview's, t.v. shows if you want it bad enough it's out there. Love you Guy's🥀🖤🥀🤘☝️

      Bush had waaaaay more than a few good songs. Every song off 16stone is good. 5 singles, 2 #1, Alien or Body could of also been a 6th single if they wanted. RS = 2 hit singles, 1 of which was #1, plus "mouth" and "cold contagious" Science of things is underrated as hell, so is golden state, their 4th record. The only Bush song I actually don't like off their first 3 albums is English sun.
