It was only a matter of time before this happened: Creed have announced plans to reunite for a tour and a new album. In case you forgot, Creed was that band that made you feel bad about liking Pearl Jam because they made the self-serious anthem rock bands like Creed popular.
Here's what Stapp said about the reunion:
“I said, ‘I love you and if I’ve ever caused you any pain in your life forgive me.’ And they said the same things right back."
ROFLCOPTER.
But this ain't no cash-in reunion (or a party): Creed say they're joing up together for a "renewing" and a "re-birth" which wouldn't seem so lame if it wasn't probably a metaphor having to do with Stapp's penchant for mentioning his religion every time anyone asks him about his music. The band will tour this summer (dates are forthcoming, y'all!) and are working on the as of yet untitled album, which they hope to have out as soon as possible.
This begs the question of who would even be up for going and seeing Creed on their tour. It's not like there's a wealth of Creed fans still lurking out there, just sitting around waiting for Creed to get back together so they can hear "Arms Wide Open" in a club like people have been waiting for a Zeppelin reunion. Or are there? [Idolator]

i'll show you
everything
Thanks for the words.
There are lots of fans who were waiting for this day. They might not be the most liked band ever, but no can can deny that those four guys make kick ass music.

Odin, I can and will deny that.
I too, can and do deny your theory that they make kick ass music. Their music is reminiscent of a freshly layed mound of faeces.

Thou shalt not use my name in vain.
And in vain it is used when the heathen Creed make mention!
I shalt strike down my wrath upon them, but only after I'm finished watching Titan A.E.
GOD
Me too.
Lols
I like how he's a guy and yet he's in touch with his feelings enough to tell his band mates he loves them...
*stifled laugh*
MK

Jack
I do hereby deny that those four guys make kick-ass music.

Just because they are highly derivative and most of their songs sound the same doesn't mean that I don't like to listen to "What If" and "My Own Prison" from time to time.

why so many comments for a creed story? prefix has much better things to comment on..

One of the most underrated bands ever. Probably the only band to ever make God seem so hardcore! I proposed to my wife after singing "Arms Wide Open" while we were vacationing at the Grand Canyon. This is gonna be so sweet!
Footlong Stapp-On
Hahahahahahahahaha.

Creed is the reason I converted to Islam. True story.

Awesome! Let the Creed haters stay home and hang out with their mom if they want, but us without
Johnny
Dude, my mom is cooler than Creed. At least she doesn't try to pass terrible poetry off as "meaningful" because it has an oblique reference to God.
so let's go there.
let's make our escape.
come on, let's go there.
let's ask can we stay!
can u take me higher?
Whoa, my own prison.
God, and stuff.
Andross Mom >>>>>>> creed
And to Prefixreader, I think this one has a lot of comments because it was momentarily on the front page of Digg. I assume it got buried for being a Creed story although it is obviously anti-Creed.
Hahahaha.
I can only hope Stapp brings back the leather pants for this one. Because there ain't anything God likes more than to see you punish yourself like that.
The writer of this article is just a Rockless loser! CREED ROCKS!!!
JESUS is LORD!!!!!
AMEN

Any one of you have multi-platinum records? And Mr. Andrew Winistorfer (writer of this poorly written article) have you ever had any hit songs on the radio or played in front of millions of fans? Didn't think so. All you can do is write a negative opinion about a band who is more successful than you can ever be. Creed=Famous, Rich...Winistorfer=not famous and writing trash for an unknown mag.....Creed will always be more wealthy and more successful than you....So no matter how bad creed sucks, know this Mr. Winistorfer, you will always suck worse :) and so does everyone else....
WTF
