Why are Creed so bad and REALLY hated?
Is this the thread to beat Dave Matthews Band : Name Your Reasons Why They Are So Bad & Hated. ?

A dull prospect for a thread. Like the band.

i doubt creed has an Allison in their fanbase, so there's really no chance it can rival the DMB thread

Dunno. I despise them because they sound like Pearl Jam. I.o.w. I despise Pearl Jam just as much as I despise Creed.

Oh god. My life just flashed before my eyes. I say we all back slowly out of this thread, nail the door shut and then brick it over. I suspect no good will ever come from this.
Especially if a Creed Fan Club comes in here.
Brrr....

I think I have to lie down now until the room stops spinning.

I find Creed to be perhaps the finest alternative rock group of the 21st century thus far, combining a truly spiritual lyrical POV with an innovative, layered, subtle sound that borders on transcendental.

Classic!

I'm with geir (although melody means nothing to me & rhythm & tone are all that matters ever). just like pearl jam w/ those wrought vox & sub-generic samey blah.

lord knows i'm no PJ (or Beddie Wetter) fan for any of a half-zillion reasons, but they have shown more variation in their music than Creed ever has (or seems to have the ability to do). not to mention that PJ has pride of place, doing this sorta thing first 'n all that.

to quote Alex in NYC: if you like Creed, then you are clearly a moron. there is no argument. it ends there.

OMG! Tanya Headon hasn't kicked the crap outta Creed yet. I don't see their name in her archives!
Why does this suddenly alarm me?
You'd think she woulda decimated Creed once a week, every week, for at least a year...
Damn.

Creed are the best band around just now. A truly enigmatic singer in Scott Stapp (unlike the dull Dave Matthews of the DMB(now THEY are the worst band ever) They have great meaningful lyrics and they do NOT have an unoriginal guitar player. Anyone who has seen them live(apart from Chicago) knows how great they are.

I think even God gets a little tired of the Jesus Christ poses after a while. Note: the bassist in my band, who worked for Pop-Up Video for several years, reports that one factoid he found out was that the lead singer was actually upset that he didn't get to do his crucifixtion pose EVEN MORE OFTEN in their videos, and would continually pester the directors about it. Creed is the Classic Dud.

What do you know about music Geir Hongro? Nothing probably. Creed sound NOTHING like Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam havent made a decent album in 10 years for a start. Creed make hi quality melodic hard rock with great spiritual lyrics. They are also awesome live, as anyone who has ever seen them live will testify. When you have heard all their albums and seen them live Geir Hongro then you will be qualified to judge them.

― Leigh Westbridge, Sunday, 31 August 2003 13:29 (9 years ago) Permalink

Leigh have you heard all of Pearl Jam's albums and seen them live?

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Sunday, 31 August 2003 13:40 (9 years ago) Permalink

Indeed i have. I lost interest in Pearl Jam though after No Code. That and Vitalogy were awful albums. Musically they have nothing in common with Creed. And as for Scotts vocals they resemble more Layne Staley than Eddie Bedwetter but I wouldnt say they were identical. It just annoys me when people like Geir Hongro dont give a reason for anything just giving the 'bot' answers "they sound like pearl jam, pearl jam suck so i hate creed"
I dont expect everyone to like Creed. It doesnt matter. Each to his own. But Geir Hongro just gave that lazy response so I felt compelled to reply.

― Leigh Westbridge, Sunday, 31 August 2003 13:45 (9 years ago) Permalink

None of us has heard all of Creed's albums or seen them live, so leave us alone!

Pearl Jam are shit. And who cares about "ten" and "vs" that was a generation ago. Creed are modern and outsell PJ because they are superior imo.
Geir Hongro , you question the intelligence of hard rock/metal fans elswhere on this board i see. Well i think its a shame that someone is so bigoted and ignorant in this day and age.
Its not important who likes/dislikes creed. Each to their own, but we can do without those attacks.

Geir's only obsession is melodicism, a quality of which Creed is in short supply.

― Andrew Frye (paul cox), Monday, 1 September 2003 01:18 (9 years ago) Permalink

I don't despise Creed so much as I despise the fact that so many people don't see past their blazing mediocrity. Personally, I find it very easy to dismiss Creed completely, and I am completely befuddled whenever anyone says that they acutally dig Creed. I think that Creed doesn't have anything to offer that a thousand other bands didn't do a thousand times better. I think that Creed is the musical equivalant of plain, unbuttered, un-sour-cream-and-Bacoed mashed potatoes, only minus the starch and carbohydrates.

1. There are better, true Christian rock groups out there, bands with actual messages and a true need to get out the word instead of posturing and teetering ever so close to actually saying something without actually saying something.
2. Creed don't rip off Pearl Jam. No they don't. They rip off the Goo Goo Dolls instead, which is even more of a crime considering how long the Goo Goo Dolls have been going and how much better they are overall. Even their mid-'90s Sensitive Band transformation.
3. If you're truly interested in listening to an uplifting message with a sound that doesn't sound watered down, try Anberlin or dc Talk or any other similar musical artist instead.
4. Creed are BLAND! I'm proud to call myself a Christian *and* do not appreciate having even anything approximating my faith's message delivered quite so soullessly. Gosh, even those Time-Life Sounds of Worship songs sound like they're sung more from the heart.

Even God hates Creed. If there is a band I despise in this world is Creed. I'm not much of a PJ fan, but god, you can't compare them with this piece shit. At least Pearl Jam made music. I mean, talk about uninspired, riff-stealing, stuckup posturing jackasses. Its as if someone took the idea of grunge, ate it and then took a dump. That dump is Creed. Its grunge without all the nutrients, w/o all the energy. Creed is the 'rock' band non-music fans like. Its the band jocks and cacos say has 'deeper' meaning.
And concerning the JC pose: "I'll bury you rich, I'll bury you poor, in your Jesus Christ pose" - Soundgarden, Jesus Christ Pose

"Creed are a great band. If you lot don't like them then so what. Its your loss. Go back and listen to your Flaming Lips and your crappy Nirvana indie rock mush.", I hope this was an 'ironic' statement.

― Cacaman Flores, Monday, 1 September 2003 19:20 (9 years ago) Permalink

I dig "With Arms Wide Open" cuz it's self-loathing, warmhearted and grandiose. Plus they performed it at the end of the VH1 Music Awards with big beaming smiles cuz they just won some awards.

And sorry, Creed is Pearl Jam minus anything remotely indie. Right down to the possibly alcoholic singer (though Rattle & Hum Bono is a big influence too). I remember when "My Own Prison" came out, people REFUSED to believe it wasn't Pearl Jam. They only believed when the band announced its approval of monotheism on "What's This Life For." The funny thing is Pearl Jam was getting into Buddhist/Eastern stuff right at the same time.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 1 September 2003 19:26 (9 years ago) Permalink

The guitars sound like morphed Velveeta, the chord progressions from MSTunesmith, the choruses assembled from every Big Chorus by some Christian editdroid of atypical anti-anxiety meds. The tiniest driplet of humanity has been meticulously, triumpantly exnayed.

Creed were relatively ignored by Tallahasseeans until one of the local modern rock DJs picked up on them and started playing them like fuck. Everybody thought they were great, the manager of the local mainstream college-rock showcasing venue left his position to manage them, and it was just a matter of timing. BAM! Corporate media mergers! Alan Metzler bought out Grass Records, converted it to Wind-Up, kicked off everyone on the label who didn't want to play polished rock, signed Creed on after "My Own Prison" and "Torn" appeared on the aforementioned modern-rock station's Locals Only compilation, and voila! (And later on the likes of Evanescence, 12 Stones, blah blah got signed to Wind-Up as well, so Creed's essentially responsible for their ascent, too.) Once Creed got huge, they moved to California, denied that they emerged from here (thankfully so...they started claiming they were from Orlando and so it's better that they receive the blame), never played in Tallahassee again, and finally the citizens of this medium-sized backwater burg -- lousy excuse for a college town -- realised en masse that they were just "watered-down seventh generation rock" as claimed by Moby. The end.

(Oh wait...when the band split and the other three members formed Alter Bridge, they played their first gig here in Tally Ho even though they no longer live here and haven't visited here since pre-stardom. I think that certainly says something quite interesting about Stapp...)

7 years pass...

So I came across this article on Slate today (it's a few years old), but it argues that Creed is actually very good, and that they were hated for illegitimate reasons (in short, it was fashionable, they talked about God, their fans were uneducated white trash, their songs were too soaring and enjoyable, etc). Is there any credibility to this? I think I may have heard one Creed song in my life, but generally steered clear because... well, it was fashionable.
