The 12th Commandment Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I only post this because it made me think of our old buddy Mickalino, old timers will remember him...he was memorable. Hope he's fighting the good fight somewhere and having more success than his hero. http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/26/showbiz/scott-stapp-homeless-statement/index.html?hpt=hp_c3 Scott Stapp, the lead singer of the band Creed, revealed he was living in a Holiday Inn and "penniless" in a nearly 16-minute Facebook video post early Wednesday morning. Stapp, who earned worldwide fame in the late '90s and early 2000s with songs like "With Arms Wide Open" and "Higher," alleged he was under "some kind of vicious attack" because the funds in his bank accounts were stolen by people he knows or frozen by the IRS. In the video, he detailed how he had to sleep in his truck for a couple of weeks and, at one point, didn't have enough money to eat for two days. -continued at link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 How much does it cost to live in a Holiday Inn? It seems to me there are cheaper places to live. Maybe that's one of the reasons he's penniless, because he's stupid with his money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drtdrums Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Stapp has had deep drug problems for decades. He's also been surrounded by terrible "advisors" that took him for a ride. That's entirely on him though. Compare him to Tremonti, who is financially well off, has an incredibly successful career, and is highly respected in the industry and outside of it. The main difference? Tremonti never had major substance abuse issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Per TMZ: Creed frontman Scott Stapp was placed on a psych hold after cops say he had drug-fueled paranoid delusions he's a marked man, and his wife says he hears voices and worries his kid will get attacked by ISIS. TMZ has obtained a Madison County Florida Sheriff's Dept. report which says deputies found Scott on the side of a road Nov. 13 and he appeared wasted, incoherent and rambling that someone was trying to poison him. Cops placed him on a 72-hour psych hold. Jaclyn Stapp -- who filed for divorce last month -- then filed new legal docs claiming Scott is off the hinges, threatening to kill himself and his AA sponsor, and she says he has the wherewithal to do it ... he has guns. Jaclyn says Scott hears phantom voices and has visions of people on fire. She says he's also paranoid. He left a message with the dean of his kid's school on November 10, warning that the school was about to become the target of an ISIS attack. As for why he's out of his head, Jaclyn says he's on a potentially fatal drug binge, fueled by steroids, weed, cocaine, PCP, Special K, Crystal meth, and various Rx drugs. Stapp posted a desperate video Friday, saying he's broke, sometimes homeless and sometimes goes without food. Jaclyn says it's because he blows all of his money on drugs, and has resorted to pawning personal items to fuel his habit. Jaclyn dismissed her petition Friday to lock Scott up ... we're told she's now talking to Scott and hopes she can accomplish her goal by communicating with him and convincing him he needs help. http://m.tmz.com/#Article/2014/11/28/scott-stapp-wife-divorce-creed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeTheBeal! Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 A couple very good Creed songs. Much better than anything by Limp Bizkit, Korn, Manson or Three Doors Down... Killer guitar work by Mark Tremonti, as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drtdrums Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I'm as big a music snob as there is on the board or elsewhere. Honestly, if Stapp had been hit by a bus after their first album, we'd be mourning his passing as a tragedy. My Own Prison was absolutely excellent for its genre and defined heavier post-grunge. The lyrical content, while not subtle, had a tortured honesty lacking from any of his later efforts. I have participated in and laughed at innumerable Creed bashing sessions, but neither I nor anyone else I've ever heard has made fun of that first album. Human Clay and "Higher" was the arrival of douche Stapp. Weathered was an atrocity. His solo stuff and Full Circle are unlistenable. But for that one album, Stapp was almost -- ALMOST -- as good as he thought he was. SIDENOTE: the other members are exceptional, and Alter Bridge crushes. And if Stapp wasn't a douche, we may never have found that out. The Tao of Creed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh off an epic night of bro hugs, fist bumps, natty ice in a can, and scamming on chicks at the Sig Ep house, now is the time of night for the serious music. The songs that really hit you where you live, man. Crank it up, it's Creeds first album! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
