Okay so they claim it’s more of a “re-birth”. Whatever. Creed was one of the hugest bands of the late 1990′s, so news of the original line-up of Scott Stapp, Mark Tremonti, Scott Phillips and Brian Marshall getting back together is huge.
Listen to Scott Stapp and Mark Tremonti chat in Cara’s Basement about their new album, summer tour and how having kids made them fiinally able to get the band back on track. 
Funniest part is when Scott Stapp refers to the infamous Chicago Creed concert where he was so waisted that he forgot the words to all the songs and laid down on stage aparrently napping as a “not-so-great-show”. Gee…ya think??? But he does have a point…he’s had far more good shows (where he didn’t nap and/or forget the lyrics) than bad ones. Let’s hope their August 30 gig at The First Midwest Bank Ampitheatre isn’t a “not-so-great” show.

Tell you what – I love them for just being human and letting stay their egoes aside for another great collaboration – there’s no doupt not being one – this is just the way they need to go after these down-kind of years after the exploiting shock they’ve gone through. It just needed some time – they will prosper again – that’s what I’m sure about. Listen to the voices – both verbal and instrumental – again! YESSSS
