“HERE’S CREED WITH ‘RAPE!’”

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 at 5:00pm by

Of course that’s not what Regis actually says when he introduced the craptastic reunited band – the song is called “Rain” – but it’s what I thought he said the first time I watched this.

And “rape” would be an appropriate word for what Scott Stapp does to the song. Not that it was ever going to be any good – this is one of the most deplorable rock acts on the planet, after all – but holy shit, does he miss some of these notes. I’d feel bad for him, but he’s a worthless woman beating fuck, so really I just hope that he gets nut cancer. At least with no testicles he could hit those high ones like it was still 1998.

Thanks to Pete Arado for the tip.

  • Caspar Colderson

    so this is one of the few people you actually DO wish physical harm onto?

  • dude i know metal

    This has ruined what was a once a wonderful day. The only thing that could make this day worse is to watch this video again. Motherfucker.

  • SourDeez

    It really does sound like he says rape. I stopped it after that, though.

    Haha. I heard their new album was out yesterday and I was waiting for the guys here at MS to notice….

    ATTN MS STAFF:

    Even by making fun of this, you are still giving it coverage. I implore you to cease and desist giving these clowns even a single line of space on this site. Our ears were violated enough in the late 90′s. Thanks for understanding.

    Your Friends,

    Fans of Music

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Colin-OConnor/1491245262 Colin O’Connor

      Yeah those bastards. After reading this I just went out and bought “Full Circle” and I blame the staff
      at MS because if they didn’t make fun of it I would have never done that!

      • jason

        I enjoy ripping bands I hate as much as the next guy, but I think this is an extenuating circumstance. Giving this coverage forces me to actually accept the cruel fact that something as horrendous as a new Creed record actually exists. I know it’s selfish, but it seems like a fair request…and it’s the right thing to do.

        • http://www.facebook.com/people/Colin-OConnor/1491245262 Colin O’Connor

            You are completely right. And it also applies to more than just this, because MS always has retarded shit like Youtube vocal covers and then having a full piece on some shitty hardcore band that probably NONE of us give a flying fuck about. It would be nice to see coverage of bands that are noteworthy within the metal scene, instead of having to skip all of this lazy bullshit like “HYUCK HYUCK CHECK OUT THIS HORRIBLE GROUP! AREN’T THEY REALLY BAD?!?!?! JEWJEWJEW ZOMG”

            Write some real reviews and stop posting this garbage. No one fucking cares. YES, WE KNOW THAT SHITTY MUSIC EXISTS, STOP REMINDING US. THAT’S WHY WE COME HERE, TO CHECK OUT GOOD BANDS. It happens so much on this site that it almost comes off like MS is out of ideas.

            I’ll just state this fact and let it speak for itself: MetalSucks.com posts Creed videos. …Now let that sink in for a few moments and ask yourself if we really need ANY of that shit on here. Its not entertaining, it blows, just like I could’ve told you it was gonna blow without ever hearing the music.

  • Sammy

    Given the range Stapp sings – I guess it would be a mid-tenor – why would those notes be hard to hit? Someone forgot his vocal exercises. And when did they add another guitar player? I miss Myles already.

  • Ryan

    Sounds like a retarded Dave Matthews Band.

    That’s also some of the worst singing I’ve ever heard. EVER.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Colin-OConnor/1491245262 Colin O’Connor

      “retarded Dave Matthews Band.”

      That’s a double negative.

    Man even for Creed this sounds really bad. Back in the day people could say what they wanted about
    the douche called Stapp but I liked and still like some of Tremonti’s riffs from MOP or Human Clay. This sounds like accoustic Christian campfire circle jerk soundtrack and Scott sounds like someone just
    unplugged his autotune.

    What is it about Creed that causes such hate though? For me they started laying the cheese on too thickly
    after the first album and honestly Christian angst is a little cheesy to start with. Still as long as my memmory
    has connections to some songs from MOP which were during my beloved high school days I will still go
    back and listen sometimes. Guess it’s a guilty pleasure just like Linkin Park. Whatever, people take this shit
    too seriously anyways and I really don’t give a rats ass what some Hot Topic clad, pimple faced douchenozzle has to say about anything I like anyways.

  • Hammer_Smashed_Hurtt

    And another thing, FUCK Mark Tremonti- whom i think is an awesome guitar player for drinkin the wine and re-uniting with this douchebag.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Colin-OConnor/1491245262 Colin O’Connor

      I like Tremonti too but WTF I doubt a single person here is any better of a human being then Stapp.

      Christian themes and 35 million records sold. If not for those two things Creed would probably get
      0 hate. Scott isn’t the worst kind of douche at all. He’s the cheesey ironic douche. Not the unrelenting
      prick douche which is the kind of person I reserve that kind of hate for.

      I say congrats to these guys for reuniting. I would prefer they do something more dark and
      forboding so we can really see Tremonti’s chops but hey it’s goofball teenage music. People
      ought to get off this hate creed trend because yes it is a trend and yes people take it way too far. If
      you can’t find shittier bands then this to hate then you are not looking hard enough. Honestly I’d
      rather listen to some Human Clay or MOP then some of the shit the Metalsucks guys like such
      as Horse or IWABO.

      • Hammer_Smashed_Hurtt

        He’d still get hate, theyre absolutely unoriginal. His vocals sound Like Eddie Vedder Hungover, and everything they do is generic. Shame on you for advocating them.

  • Tim-o-tato

    OK, so…
    I know that Scott can’t sing anymore for shit…BUT, Mark Tremonti is a phenomenal guitar player…
    The 2nd track off their new album is in fucking G tuning haha
    I play in A sharp and I was like WTF?!?! lol

    Either way, Creed sucks balls.
    But Alter Bridges first CD was the shit! haha

    That is all….

    • caparison_applehorn

      I agree, the first Alter Bridge cd was fucking GOOD!

      • ThisIsNecessary

        Fail. Both of you.

        • Tim-o-tato

          Dont hate T.I.N.
          Mark Tremonti is the shit lol

          See I know Caparison has good fucking taste because the Applehorn
          is one the sickest guitars of all time! haha

          But yea, Scott fucking ‘raped’ this song….

  • Alaskan King Crabcore

    He sounds like he’s doing a bad Stapp impression

    • http://www.myspace.com/finalriot BigEvilMetalhead

      hahaha! Man, I was listening to my local rock station stream this album the other night and that’s basically EXACTLY what I said!

      (Granted, I’m a Creed fan (and no I’m not some Christian douche.. haha That’s for DAMN sure!) so it wasn’t with too much malice… though I do think Scott Stapp is a douche. ha…)

  • Discipleofthewatch

    Creed? Who cares? Do we want to talk about Nickleback and Hinder now too?

    New Slayer out soon, people!

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Colin-OConnor/1491245262 Colin O’Connor

      Now there is a band who are actual douches. If I had to live with either Scott Stapp or Kerry King
      for a year I’d chose Stapp. Dude just makes corny life affirming music. Kerry King actually
      is a piece of shit. Fuck him and his stupid band. Their curtain call came a long time ago and any
      relevance they have expired a long time ago too.

  • http://www.youtube.com/cyrollan cyrollan

    Whoa, this Colin guy is quite vocal about Creed!
    But since this is a forum, here are my two cents: Creed is terrible. AlterBridge is good. In fact, I recently made a short film about the Creed reunion tour. Some find it funny, others don’t. If you’re interested, check my URL

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Colin-OConnor/1491245262 Colin O’Connor

      I guess I’m coming off as a fanboy but that’s cool. Creed are not all that great but definitely don’t deserve
      the hate they get. They were an immensly successful group who in my opinion suffer the most
      for a completely un-musical reason. They were ill-fated in choosing an ideology that is currently
      in the hibernation of the conservative-liberal cyclical fading and resurgence. Conservatism
      was VERY poorly represented for the last eight years which caused a liberal resurgence.
      The public is pretty fickle though because the potential enactment of real life social1stic policies
      has caused a massive right shift in America which is most obvious in the much-maligned
      Fox News being number 1 over all others( which are ALL liberal).

      Simply put, Creed is hated because of the ideas behind their music. On the surface you have
      regular, slightly pretentious card-board cut-out generic post-grunge hard rock stars. That’s all they
      should be. The songs are
      completely unoffensive( unless you are diabetic) and most intend to be life affirming. Oh my god!
      They are trying to edify people, crucify the fuckers! No they are cheesey and that is their worst
      crime and there is FAR more cheesey shit in the world.

      Conservativism is the often-ugly truth you have allways known in it’s most practical and pure
      form. Intelectuals are often clever enough to rationlize their way out of it if they are too weak
      to deal with ugliness. It is something that generally grows over time from experience.
      “If you are under thirty and are not liberal you have no heart. If you are over thirty and are not
      conservative you have no brain.” – Winston Churchill

      Kids hate conservativism the most because it is a rebellion against all the mature themes of this
      existence they are trying to escape from. The hatred with Creed is VERY closely tied to this
      shift in the country to being more liberal. I don’t especially love them but I just want to point out
      that this is more a trend then anything.

      That and this video does suck besides anything else.

      • SlickerDrip

        As much as I agree with most of your points, Scott Stapp is hardly a role model regardless of his ideology. I think some of the hate is justified, the music and personality of their lead singer are poor. I think they’re hated more for insincere derivation than on the basis of faith or where they lie on the political spectrum.

        • http://www.facebook.com/people/Colin-OConnor/1491245262 Colin O’Connor

          Well I think the fact that I can name several stars with equally horrible
          personalities and often worse do not receive hate in the same
          ammounts as Creed or with nearly as much vigor. I don’t disagree with what
          you say about Stapp but I don’t think anything about him was unuasual for
          any rockstar. Scott Weiland was a woman-beater too. Brandon Boyd
          of Incubus is practically a carbon-copy left wing version of Stapp with
          equal ammounts naive pretense and overall douchbaggery.

          Still noone gets hate like Creed. Truthfully the real issue is that these kids
          are projecting hatred of their parents onto Creed. Let’s be honest, the
          band is not good or bad enough for anyone to care that much.

          • SlickerDrip

            Agreed

      • Alex P.

        Yeah… conservatism is, I’m sorry, retarded, especially in the US, where your liberals are the neocons of other countries. Conservatives are wrong on the environment (Global warming is not speculation. It’s fucking science.),
        wrong on drug policies (What doctor treats a disease by jailing the patient?),
        wrong on economic policies (Trickle-down does not occur. Sorry, folks, but having a rich-centered economy is a recipe for inequality. Look at your own country),
        wrong on education (Tuition must be funded. It’s an investment in your own economy. The main form of capital has been brainpower for at least 30 years. Galbraith was right, folks.),
        wrong on health care (Compare, if you will, the quality of care received in the Netherlands to that in the United States. Hell, compare it to that received in a shithole commie dictatorship like Cuba. The situation in the States is deplorable.),
        wrong on abortion rights (The only real way to reduce the number of abortions is to increase access to contraception. Abortions are nasty business, but they are a sad reality for women, and should be treated as a human right, not as a luxury or — worse– a sin. Attacking doctors who only seek to help their communities will not help anyone.)
        and wrong in general. There, an intelligent (albeit brief) retort from an eightteen year old with a heart and a brain. Conservatism is anachronism, Colin. And Creed suck hard.

        • http://www.facebook.com/people/Colin-OConnor/1491245262 Colin O’Connor

          “Conservatism is anachronism, Colin”
          Nah I really think it’s cyclical. Besides this is like a random collection of all your
          baseless assumptions about me. I’m democrat who leans conservative on a
          lot of things. Remember all the Democrats that are against the public option, right?

          • Alex P.

            No, it wasn’t really about you in particular, but more about conservatism in general. I knew writing this post that you might not be for all of these, but since the point you made was to defend conservatism, I attacked conservatism, as represented by Creed and the American right wing. It’s really more about showing that my hatred for conservatism is not based on youthful rebellion (I hate Communism and Economic Libertarianism equally, but these are “rebellious” philosophies.) but rather on my analysis of life. I might become a conservative some day, but I might also get a frontal lobotomy.

            Sorry about making it sound like a campaign ad, but I felt I had to both back up my points and make it easy to read. I wasn’t happy about how it sounded, but I think I was able to support my points.

        • http://www.facebook.com/people/Colin-OConnor/1491245262 Colin O’Connor

          As a side note I lol’ed at the post’s similarity to one of these annoying negative
          campaign ads. WRONG on healthcare! WRONG on education!

          WRONG on making a friggin original post! WRONG on sounding like
          a human comercial! Your so WRONG! And I’m so RIGHT. YES.

      Ah, but remember, they fund Roadrunner artists. Thus, you’re supposed to tolerate the sonic pollution they produce… I guess…

      Nickelback are what’s wrong with Canada. You all know them, Celine Dion, Sum 41 and Our Lady Peace. Few of the public know the Wednesday Night Heroes, SNFU, Voivod, Gorguts or any of the myriad of great groups we’ve produced over the years. We have a habit of exporting the wrong shit.

  • Fufkin

    I LIKE CREED AND I DON”T CARE WHAT ANYONE THINKS. I also like chicken dinners.

    I will never understand the absolute hatred this band receives – and by that I mean a hatred far in excess of other bands who arguably worse. And that’s a lot of bands because I like Creed. Though I acknowledge the reasons why that’s a shameful thing to admit. But it took me seven years before I could come out openly as a Creed fan to my family and friends. I’ve been through too much and lost too many to turn back now.

    The self-satisfied shooting fish in a barrel comments I see here are far more risible than any Stapping in my life. Papa Stapp is a bit of a twat, has a messiah complex and can’t sing live – well roll out the firing squad. Jesus. Can’t you see those flaws are exactly why us Stappets worship the ego ramp he walks on?

    I will add that I think Alter Bridge are an excellent band, significantly ‘better’ than Creed – and a fair few people that hate Creed like them… which is nice. Nice like a bear cub. The Creed reunion seems to have come about because AB haven’t really taken off at all in the US. I’m glad Alter Bridge will be continuing regardless because Myles Kennedy is an incredibly talented musician.
