I agree, I have always loved him . He was the first music I listened to as a child in the 90’s where I paid attention and wanted to keep playing over and over, my mom finally said she would take me to see him and that was my first concert and was always my favorite.
This album released 6 weeks before I went to Marine Corps boot camp in 97. Not being able to hear any of the singles outside of this one while there, the first thing I bought after I graduated was this CD. It got me through that 1st year and this particular song was pure irony! You count the next 2 albums and you can say Creed served right alongside me. Forever thankful for your music... hearing takes me back 25 years, and that's why music is timeless.
I'm glad to see he's back and definitely still has it. Creed and especially Scott stapp get a lot of shit but this man's lyrics and writing capabilities are bar none and full of real meaning and emotion. They sure deserve a lot more credit
I'M SO GLAD HE GOT SOBER AND HIS VOICE BACK!! BEST HE HAS SOUNDED IT YEARS! HOPE HIM AND MARK CAN RECONCILE AND GET BACK TOGETHER RKFR A REUNION TOUR. HOT DAMN HE SOUNDS GOOD SINGING SONGS HE WROTE OVER 2 DECADES AGO
@Jedimaster420 nah he got sober and has stayed sober. I've been keeping up with him. proud of him. he about lost his wife along with everything he had left but he turned it around. dude looks and sounds great!
@@careful__Icarus it don't have to be a world tour or it could be a 3-4 month European tour.. best bet Maybe a "let's ease back into things 3-6 month tour in the states and central south America)so it could be a possibility cause you don't won't to come back like these major artist who haven't been around or played shows like that in years and years it would throw them back into the dark. touring is a crazy thing all those dates for a couple years that's why I said a few months just to ease back into it also just to have fun which I think he is doing again... but hey that's my opinion and you have yours I respect it as well but inky time will tell so lets just see what happens lol
@@Smackattackk creed sold over 40 m. records there is a army of fans out there waiting for the reunion tour...we'll pay the money!!! Mark- fly down to nashville where scott is ya'll have a campfire session work it out the past is the past bury the issues and get back together.
@@sean8470 oh for sure I'm one of those millions of fans people would probably freak out if they got back together, but I know Tremonti has probably a big grudge against him because they had the world at their fingertips at one point but I also believe the band is together as one.. they all have equal parts but people look at the vocalist as the whole band and that puts a lot of pressure on all these great frontman that have either vanished into the dark or died sadly.... I mean a lot of great bands are coming back to tour! That would be really awesome if they did as well!! Also i heard that Tom from Blink 182 was thinking about coming back after Mark's cancer scare.. They got together recently and talked about things and hinted towards something but we just gotta wait and see... There is a lot of bands that I would pay great money to see!! I know I'm not the only one!! I mean look at Tool for example they came at back out of nowhere and are kicking ass.. I mean hell the B-52's are going back on tour, Kiss is still touring and Journey Metallica Megadeath dudes and girls on theirn60s and 70 STILL performing great shows... BUT I JUST LOVE CONCERTS AND WITH HOW THE WORLD IS TODAY WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER MORE THEN EVER YA KNOW?
" I cried out to God seeking only his decision, Gabriel stands and confirms I've created my own prison" this is so powerful and people are sleeping on this.. Gives me chills everytime I hear it
Sadly, ironically he wrote this song in his worst time in life while doing very bad things. He's claimed to have changed all that so Hopefully he's staying on the right track still.
Love you and your compulsive lyrics. I have dug many deep holes. Now fighting cancer in my own prison. Music like yours still is my sedation and peace. Huggggz
Stay Strong, I'm also fighting stage 3 colon cancer and had 80 percent of my colon taken out and now I gotta do 6 months of chemo once a week and then a few radiation treatments after !!!
@@DameTremonti Well, he's sung this song hundreds of times before without Mark, and this is the first time I've ever heard him sing those parts. Check out those older performances on RU-vid, my friend.
He sounds great! Will always have a spot in my musical heart for there first three records. That baritone, when he's on, it's powerful. After Creed came so many voices with 'base-itus.' Stapp's was natural. A rock voice with a southern hint. Kinda cool here how he sounds like he's gained more treble in his tone. It less rounded at times and more shrill, like what he did when he was younger and sang Ode live.
@Jedimaster420 I used to think the same thing til I started covering both. They've different vocal styles. Eddie certainly relaxes his voice much more, and his vocal frying is kept at a minimum because of this vibrato he gives with that rich baritone. I certainly think Eddie is better and has more range. His vocals also honestly get warmer and more endearing with age. Scott most definitely strains his voice to hit the higher registers, which has given him significant issues. When he released his first solo album, those initial live performances where he kept his vocals from shredding, they sound just fine. I think he also has a certain twang, near to a country music singer at times, but it gets cut right before it's too apparent, which is kinda cool. I think a perfect marriage of those two is Seven Mary Three's Jason Ross. Look up his cover of 'That's How Strong My Love Is.' But yeah. Just from being in love with those groups and tat sound for twenty years, wanted to give a thorough response. Youre welcome to hold your take though! No worries.
@@looksirdroids9134 "Yar," haha! Youre not wrong. Yarling was a term used to describe tons of nineties bands (dude, haha! Matchbox 20!). The 'base itus' Im referring too is from bands like Seether, Bad Wolves, Theory of a Dead Man. Did I say Creed created it?
This album saved my life.... multiple times. This song and "Torn" are my absolute favorites. Thank you Creed, thank you Orlando, thank you WJRR thank you Scott.. 🙏
THIS SONG RINGS SO TRUE FOR MYSELF AND EVERY HUMAN. We create our own prisions that keeps us from God who gives us our lives but we fail daily , SCOTT THANK YOU AND CREED FOR YOUR GOD GIVEN TALENT TO SING AND WRITE THIS SONG , CREED FAN FOREVER , SCOTT GET CREED BACK TOGETHER WORK OUT THE DIFFUCULTIES AND GET OVER THEM . CREED HAS A SERIOUS CHANCE IN MUSIC , how it b a honor to speak with you or the band in whole 😀😀😇😇
Jeez he's probably done this song 10,000 times by this point yet he still takes the time to talk to his audience about it's origin and then sings it with passion. He's a great artist. Also, this is some great acoustic sound here.
Saw him live frt row center over 20 yrs ago...then live in Miami on 10/21. Let me tell you he's as great as he was back then, sounds exactly same he hasn't missed a beat! Fantastic show!
I am not a Scott Stapp fan. Creed got under my skin for some reason.... This sounds so fkn good to me decades later. Sorry guys, for my harsh judgement. This song, in this form, is perfect. I must take another look.
I was looking up some creed albums, since I'm trying hear all of their songs to see which ones I like and make a playlist and all that, and came across an album called The Resurrection, with about 4 or 7 songs I'll in it. But they're unplayable. It also said it was released in 2021, but I'm guessing it was pulled rather quickly or something like that. But it might be their upcoming and possibly final Album.
Great song. That whole CD/album (whatever ya wanna call it) was their best music IMHO, then they kinda got fluff on the next one. I saw the My Own Prison tour at Red Rocks in the late 90s and it was badass. Torn, this song, What's This For, etc. That entire My Own Prison album was completely badass.
yyes! sober and best he has sounded in years!!! I hope him and mark can be buds again and do one more tour or album....man he sound great I can't get over it!
@Jedimaster420 I done some digging after I posted my comment and he has made a comeback. even if it's for himself. I'm proud and happy for him. he sounds good again. give him another shot.
Scott turned out to be such an awesome dude, for many years he seemed like someone I just wouldn't like,z He has found himself and he really seems to be a good good guy!!! Some of the best lyrics ever!!!
Seen Creed live in 97 at the 9:30 club in D.C for 99 cents! It was $1.04 with tax! And they were awesome sauce! Noone was smoking pot or anything and we were like what is up with this... Later finding out they were more of a Christian band. Lol! Oops! 2 potheads in the middle of like 300 Christians trying to smoke a bowl...oops! I now am good with God but then I was back slidden...Still love Creed though!🥰
Reminds me of the time the green fees where only $3, funny enough that was when I won my first PGA title (snowballed after that so it's just another day) Everyone says "where's Tiger ?" I say, "wheres my putter ?" Oh that's right, I don't need one.
Glad he gave Mark Tremonti some credit. For me as a fan of Creed/Tremonti/Stapp/Alter Bridge/Etc since 97’ it sucks that one of the best song writing duos (Tremonti-Stapp) of that era fell apart at the height of their success due to ego and political bullshit. What really sucks the most is that they probably had at least 2-4 more Human Clay or My Own Prison level of albums in them but it is what it is. Loved their live shows so much back then!
Jesus breaks every chain and sets captives free. Demons flee in by the sound of His name. He is the Passover Lamb. The blood He shed on the cross is our Passover blood over our temples made of flesh and bones commands all evil to Passover us.
Omg!!! Me and my dad was gunna go to our first concert together he bought us creed tickets and like 2 wks before the concert it got canceled and he never got refunded and we never got to go!
