Rock Band Creed Breaks Up After 3 Albums

32 minutes ago

By DAVID BAUDER, AP Television Writer

NEW YORK - The spiritually inclined band Creed, whose anthemic hits "Higher" and "With Arms Wide Open" helped them become one of the top-selling rock acts of the past decade, has called it quits.

Three former Creed members immediately announced they were forming a new band — minus singer Scott Stapp (news) — but were quick to say it was not "just Creed with a different singer."

Creed's three albums sold a combined 24 million copies in the United States. While many critics dismissed them as pale Pearl Jam imitators, Creed members used that as creative fuel and laughed all the way to the bank.

Lyricist Stapp grew up with a strict religious upbringing and often explored those topics in song. At one point five of the first eight queries on the "frequently asked questions" section of the Florida-based band's Web site dealt with Christianity, including "Is Creed a Christian band?"

The band always said no.

Stapp and guitarist Mark Tremonti (news) were longtime friends and songwriting partners whose relationship soured in the past couple of years, as Tremonti explained in a recent interview with MTV.com.

That caused tension in the band. "There was a lot more drama," drummer Scott Phillips (news) told The Associated Press on Friday. "It wasn't necessarily created by anyone in particular. It just stopped being fun."

Stapp was not available for comment, said a spokesman for Wind-up Records.

Creed took most of last year off, and reconvened in the winter to come up with new material. "The vibe just wasn't the same," Phillips said.

Still, they weren't about to casually disband such a successful unit. The band had initially figured on taking a hiatus, but a side project was working out so well they decided not to turn back, Phillips said.

The new band, Alter Bridge, features Tremonti, Phillips and former Creed bassist Brian Marshall. Singer-songwriter Myles Kennedy, formerly of the band Mayfield Four, was recruited as the fourth member. Their first album is due out in August.

Phillips described the music as edgier than Creed, with the musicians given more space to show off their chops.

"We don't want to make it seem like it's just Creed with a different singer," he said.

Stapp's first solo recording will be on a soundtrack of music inspired by the film "The Passion of the Christ." He's working on a solo album with the Canadian band the Tea Party.

and so my mind it keeps on racing to an indisclosed conclusion and i'm not sure who its trying to outrun, but it gets faster and i can't breathe and my eyes are so fed up but i'm trying just to win the most i can.

and i flew backwards to chicago in a train car on my own and the window panes are blacked out from the view. so with the parting gift you gave now i am pulling out my teeth. god help any stranger who might sit down next to me.

What She Said

Before I laughed with him
nightly,

the slow waves beating
on his wide shores
and the palmyra
bringing forth heron-like flowers
near the waters,

my eyes were like the lotus
my arms had the grace of the bamboo
my forehead was mistaken for the moon.

But now.

As you won't change, nor let me forgo you,
I shall give my heart a defence against you,
so that half shall always be armed to abhor you,
though the other half be ready to adore you.

took a whole bunch of people off my friends list, just for privacy purposes. if you feel you've been removed by mistake, leave a comment. and please don't comment if i know you, or if you know people that i possibly may know. i also took off alot of people that i don't know. thanks. <3

Fri, 07 May 2004 11:50:59 GMT

i realized that a few people were on my friends list that i actually know in person, so if you find yourself removed its not personal, its just that i mention names in my journal alot and don't want to cause problems.

p.s. this doesn't go for jess and brandon.

thanks. ♥

If i see you on a regular basis, and you aren't jess or brandon, then you have been removed from my friends list. also, please don't IM me unless its related to school, your best friend, etc. if you wish to talk to me, or want to hang out or anything, please call me or talk to me in person or whatever. i just think i need to get a real life, and that the internet isn't a good way to communicate with people if you're not going to continue conversations the next day.

all my other friends, i love you and will totally keep updating and commenting, because you are awesome and i won't get to talk to you otherwise.

i think that's pretty self-explanatory. thanks everyone, ♥.

p.s. today was okay.

hmm...i find this all very interesting. very very interesting.

it leaves me with a sick feeling, though. its above my stomach, so i can't throw it up. and its below my lungs so i can't cough it up. its just there, filling up that space that should be empty.

you've left me behind. but don't bother waiting up. catch it while you still can.

very, very.....interesting.
