AMAZING!| FIRST TIME HEARING Creed - Higher REACTION 

Because they tried to say that they were a Christian rock band

Yes, I remembered. And I certainly don't understand why. Everyone loved them at first. Then crazy rumors circulated. It was so not right.

Because their lead singer is an idiot. And claimed a Christian group. Drugs and all. Much of it was their own doing.

I saw them as an opening act to NSYNC in 2002/03 and they were AMAZING, I love them

I always thought that it was a strange reaction, so many artists talk about their spirituality in their music, why Creed were singled out was a really indication of the coming cancel culture. ✌️

It was called "Overcome" wasn't it?

He also has a solo song called "Relearn Love" that's awesome

Yeah I've always liked Creed. Of course we all know about Tremonti's solo stuff.

You mean “it’s my favorite song of their’s” 😉

@@nsasupporter7557 he probably means he'd slap you in the mouth if you had the balls to say that in person lol. You fucking people man

My favorites

I agree. They would be my recommendations.

Fun fact, My Own Prison was the song they took around to get their first record contract. Great tune.

My own prison is incredible. Its on of my favorites. They really need to check it out.

Torn is great, I agree to that should be next!

​@@minnesota93 I looked in a search and don't see it on their channel.

​@@minnesota93No,they didn't. They've done One Last Breathe, My Sacrifice and Higher. Jay literally says that at the beginning of the video.

They need to check out the prequel to Arms wide open called Name by Scott Stapp!

@@user-or1ye3iz6dyes, or One Last Breath… or did they already do that one?

Yes! Was about to say it!! With Atms wide Open!

Thanks for sharing that inspiring story. I'm wondering if you've ever heard "Best I Can" by Queensryche? If not you should definitely give it a listen as it's a bit relatable to what you're talking about. To me it's even more inspiring then this song here, even though I love both.

This is an amazing post! I love your perspective!

The end of the chorus says: Can you take me higher? To a place with golden streets In the New Jerusalem, not only are the streets gold, but so are the buildings, it is so big you can't see the walls from the center. In my vision, I was like 10,000 feet suspended above it, so I awoke to find out why I could not see the walls from that high, and in Revelation, the area of the new Jerusalem is equal to the square mile area of the State of Texas, and I remembered in 2013, when I had this vision, Rush Limbaugh's program from the 90s downplaying overpopulation on the Earth, saying you could fit 6 billion people into Texas and still have the rest of the Earth left over. In January 2001, my Uncle Jerry, who had polio because his Jehovah's Witness Parents would not vaccinate him, had a humped back his whole life, and in 2002, he was the first deceased relative Jesus allowed me to see in a vision, and in my vision, I am standing in a room full of people and I see a young man with a robin egg blue shirt on, and while I am listening to the conversation, I hear Uncle Jerry's voice, plain as day, and he said, "G, how are you doing?" and my family calls me "Gee" not George, and so I replied, not remembering he was dead, "I'm doing okay Jerry, how are you doing?" Uncle Jerry responded, "I'm doing fine!" and when I woke up, I realized in the vision, Uncle Jerry not only did not look like the 51-year-old man who had died, and looked like he was 21, but he was no hunched over with a hump in his back, he was whole! All you have to do to go to Heaven is repent of sin, believe Jesus is Lord/Yahweh and that he was raised from the dead, and be filled with his Holy Spirit so you are sealed for salvation! In 1990, my routine of working and school only left me two hours of sleep, and I survived one semester of it in 1989, but in 1990, it triggered an asthma attack that killed me. It was not my time, and God sent me back, but one thing that is hard about an NDE most testimonies don't cover only focusing on Heaven, is coming back to a world that is less than, because there is no death there, there is no sickness there, there is no fear there, it is full of love, and coming back was like coming back to something less than. My NDE really did take me higher, but when you come back here, the Earth does not have the fullness of Yahweh/God as Heaven does, and it seemed so empty and void and meaningless, except for the treasure, which is the loved ones you invest in to help make it there, and when I died in that asthma attack, I didn't ask Jesus for my life back, I simply thought of Mom, Dad, my brother & sister, my cousins that lived with us, my girlfriend, and I just thought, as I realized I could stay there forever, and have no need to go back, I thought, "I don't think they can make it without me" and look back with the maturity of 55 now, that I did not have at 22, I realized that Holy Spirit helped put that thought there, because when I did come back, everyone needed me more than I ever knew, so I am glad I did not leave them alone to struggle in life, but was allowed to come back and help all of them. So don't give up, you can be as whole and just as young as I saw my Uncle Jerry, and Colton Burpo told his Father upon coming back about Pops and not recognizing the picture of the Old Man that in Heaven everyone is young, no one is old, and when Todd found a picture of his Grandfather as a young man his Mother faxed him, 4-year-old Colton Burpo, said, "Yeah, that's him, that's Pops!" because he had seen his Grandfather in Heaven as a young man, not an old man! I never gave up on praying for Scott Stapp, because he brought his Christian faith into the music, and I loved him for that!

Thank you. Can't do better than your post.

I feel the same as you after my stroke my whole life changed now I see things differently and time has slowed there's nothing to rush live and take it all in. Prayers from one survivor to another

People are allowed to not like bands.

A lot of grunge snobs hated Creed and accused them of trying to be like Pearl Jam, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Then you just had haters that wanted to discredit them because they were a successful Christian band. All those haters would eventually jump on the hate train against Nickelback a few years later.

The difference is, I can actually understand Scott's lyrics as apposed to Eddie Vedder. I like pearl jam, but his enunciation was terrible. I had to look up the lyrics most times. Scott's diction is so much clearer. Creed is superior to pearl jam, IMHO.

​@@susanberrier5727agree!

​@@greene74agree!

Exactly why the industry rejected this band! People can’t handle being a child of God and not an adult child that refuses to grow emotionally. These lyrics come by way of heartfelt life and all that it brings including our own sin

Amen, great description

Alter Bridge is great and,damn,Miles Kennedy can Wail!!

I've tried and tried to get them to listen to Alter Bridge. Maybe one of these days.

Black Bird by Alter Bridge is amazing!

Alter Bridge is much better, and Miles Kennedy blows Strap away!!

And he has a Sinatra tribute out he sings just like the man

Have they done Myles Kennedy? His voice is amazing.

@@markhagerman1837 I don't think so

His guitar playing is outstanding as well.

I never understood the hate they received. Sort of like, Nickelback, later on, it just became cool to hate them. Stupid.

Always slays me listening to people trying to attach all these different meanings to their songs. I mean, if the lyrics aren't obvious enough, the Christ on the cross symbolism in the video should drive it home pretty decisively.

Is it not. It's about the power of lucid dreaming. Stapp even said so.

@@thefilmlodge 😂 That was to keep the atheists happy and buying records.

​@@RobertSmith-js2kzexactly. Stapp grew up very religious went to Christian school and Christian college.

@@thefilmlodgeI agree, I thought it was said that this song was about lucid dreaming.

“I cry out to God seeking only His decision, Gabriel stands and confirms I’ve created my own prison” - some of the most powerful lyrics ever in a song!

Let me just add " Illusion " for a threesome.

Agreed. They were pegged as Christian, but I'm pagan and always found them to be amazing. They weren't overtly Christian though, they were no Stryper lol It's noticeable but not in-your-face. And there's nothing wrong with songs about our human flaws and wishing for a better world.

They'll both love it.

Might actually see Jay full on cry with that one.... I know Amber will.

Better than Pearl Jam

I always thought they were much more STP.

Where blind man see

Maybe, unless you want to go with “With Arms Wide Open” which was their only #1 hit.

​@@michaelvielhaber9342preach

@@michaelvielhaber9342 I forgot about that one. I wasn't a big fan.

Really? There 1st Album My Own Prison was release originally in 1997. I was a senior in High School. They were playing a venue where I live that you had to be 18 to attend.

@@jasonwalker8324 Bands usually grind for years before they catch fire. You are right. They had some momentum going into the turn of the century. But that's when they really exploded.

With arms wide open hit no.1

Their is a rock cruise planned for April 2024. Praying they will tour after that! 😊

I hope they do get back together. They were the top band for a few years.

Wow, I didn't know that some of Alterbridge's members were members of Creed! I absolutely love their song "Metalingus".

Amen

They were never played on Christian stations though, and weren't really ever embraced by that crowd. Not officially anyway.

Can you take me higher? To a place with golden streets this is the part that gave it away really

Full Circle is fantastic! Sounds more like Alter Bridge with Scott Stapp singing vs Creed with Miles Kennedy singing when Alter Bridge first came out.

Oh brother you need to listen to more music.
