I have NEVER liked Stapp...
When they came out in the early 90s I thought Stapp was a lackluster, poor-man's Vedder.
And I LOVE Vedder, I don't care what anyone says.
His downfall was getting married...
First 2 albums he was a fucking angry animal!
Then he got married and all that angst dissappeared, along with
alot of the great emotion that drew me to Pearl Jam in the first place.
Anyway, back to Stapp...
Dude is the definition of a prima-donna, whiny bitch
wasting away some serious talent.
I have no respect for that dude, none!
I know that is your opinion and you are entitled to it but I must say I feel you are very wrong about Scott Stapp. First off the Eddie Vedder argument is tired and old. Creed haters used to use that as a way to bring the band down. The only singer Stapp has stated to get influence from is Jim Morrison of The Doors.
Wow in your argument it sounds like your talking about another singer brought up on this board ten times a day! Scott Stapp had a lot going on in his life and he has made mistakes just like you do! Fame has a way of altering a person’s personality that is something you and I can never understand so that is why I don’t normally condemn. Stapp’s talent is not wasted as his solo album, The Great Divide, contains lyrics and vocal brilliancy that is equivalent to that of Creed. That album shipped Platinum despite the fact that he was the one blamed for the Creed breakup and despite the fact he has made a few mistakes. On the other hand, Alter Bridge’s album has only reached Gold and it has been out twice as long. I love both bands though and I used the comparison to show that he is not “wasting away some serious talent.” Stapp has come forth a number of times earlier this year to admit he did something’s wrong and apologize for his mistakes. His lyrics have helped me out of some dark, terrible, and scary times
and I’ll be damned to let his character be degraded by someone who really doesn’t know of what he speaks. I have to say I think I am losing respect for you but I know you don’t care about that. If not respecting Stapp from what you “heard” by haters than that is your loss!
Damn, CRL...
Your telling me that you are "losing respect for me" because I don't like Scott Stapp???
Because I might have a low opinion of a singer you actually like???
You
can't be serious?!?!?!?
I mean, I could see you saying that you disagree and giving your
thoughts and opinions about it...
I LOVE talkin' about shit like this, its fun.
I happen to like alot of Creed's music, just never a fan of Stapp.
So your saying all the press this guy has had, even just last year with his drunken brawl with 311
doesn't entitle me to not really like or respect the guy???
But to take low blows and silly cheap shots at me like that,
after I thought you and I were on good terms, is a real downer...
Here's a low blow so we can call it even...
"You sounded just like so many of the 'others' that we
argue with, TOGETHER I might add, at the other site...
Sad...
Sorry you feel that way but I ain't changing my opinion.
