@jimihicks Everyone....or MOST people loved their music. The hate didn't come till they drank their own Kool aid and acted like they were levitating above everyone else. Even other bands that had to tour with them started hating their holier than thou attitudes. Pretty sure Scott Stapp has acknowledged that. The music was always great.

Scott wrote the lyrics, Mark Tremonti (guitar) wrote the music. Incredibly powerful. Scott questions his faith and finds himself having created his own prison in his mind. Lyrically, Scott can write some amazing songs. He pulls you into his world with the stories and his vocals. Mark is an incredible guitarist.

Creed is #1 in my book his voice is unbelievable!

Great band.

As a Christian this song moves me like no other. If you ever get a chance read up about where Scott Stapp was (mentally and spiritually)when he wrote this.

Amber & Jay, here are some other good Creed songs to react to: "Torn", "What's This Life For?", "What If?", "Ode", and "Pity For A Dime".

Have listened to them since before they were even on the radio. They are also awesome live. I've talked to Scott a couple times years ago just before they released "With Arms Wide Open". Good guy.

I find it amazing how I can’t remember what I walked into another room for, but remember this word for word. Haven’t heard it in many years! Love you 2!

Yay! So glad y'all finally got to react to this one!! Scott Stapp has got one of the most richest baritone voices just like Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam! Just like Pearl Jam, Creed also has some very introspective songs. Glad y'all liked it!

This is possibly my favorite Creed song!! His voice is just so haunting in it!! Thank you for reacting!

I got to be on the summer of 99 and Beyond Creed cruise. It was so awesome to see Creed back together, people on the cruise loved every second of their performances, during their shows, the whole crowd was singing every word to all their songs, some songs you could just hear Scott Stapp singing over the crowd singing. amazing experience. More Creed to listen to is "Faceless Man", "Rain". You should also listen to his solo stuff, "Purpose for Pain," "Gone too soon." And Alter Bridge "Blackbird", "Watch over you", and "Open you eyes." Love your channel, keep it up, music is what joins us all together.

Creed will be on their 2024 tour soon. I believe in November they will be in OKC. Kinda in "your neck of the woods". Be great if yall could make that concert!

"Faceless man" really shows off Scotts vocals. I highly recommend it.

Love Creed and I get a little giggle every time I see Jordan react to rock because I remember back when he first reacted to AC/DC and said he didn’t like rock and now look at him he has embarrassed it .

Mark Tremonti is so underappreciated as an Artist! He is an Amazing Vocalist and Guitarist! This is a Great song!

yay! I love Creed so much!!!! PLEASE check out Alterbridge, which is like Creed x100000. All the band members from Creed, but with the most AMAZING lead singer, Myles Kennedy. He legit has one of the BEST voices out there. Do Alterbridge- Open Your Eyes as your first song by them.

I wasn't happy that Creed had broken up, but most people could see it coming. After the first time hearing Open Your Eyes, I was content that we'd still have a great band to continue that sound with. Just with a tenor voice instead of a baritone.

This one makes me cry. It's so personal to me. This one is my favorite Creed

This song made me want to write and perform my own music. To this day still one of my favorite bands. My first introduction to Mark Tremonti as well. One of the greatest rock guitarists of all time.

❤Always my favorite Creed song. This just works in every way. It really is a perfect studio recording. This is from their debut album from 1997 and of course they wrote this song. Jay this is considered Grunge and their later stuff is Post Grundge.

Man I was such a huge Creed fan from like 13-16. Great music, still listen to them to this day. People who don't like Creed can leave me alone with that ha!

I’m telling on my age. It I used to play their songs on drums with a band I was in when they was still touring. It was awesome playing their music

I’d suggest Alter bridge which is basically Creed with a different singer Myles Kennedy

Don't stop dancing is a fantastic tune... To me, one of the best.....

This is their first single and I remember getting a promo cd single from a record store as a means of creating a buzz. For me this is their greatest moment.

I love Creeds music! Powerful messages we can all relate to… music IS the universal language imo ❤

I'd just like to point out this is from the 90s. Jay has come around to the nineties but sometimes he still seems on the fence even though there are so many artists he raves about from the nineties. Just a fun, friendly reminder that this is just one more band he loves from this era. Love your reviews!

That song was my first listen of creed and it's still my all time favorite by them.

This song sets you up with the clean vocals/guitars for the first few minutes, then they dump that hard rock style on you which makes it more impactful

Thank you! So excited you got to this one!

Back in 2000. I went to the Creed/Sevendust concert. 3 Doors Down opened for them. The band that I don't remember playing was, Sevendust.

"What If?" Is one of my favorite Creed songs

They are on tour this summer. A must see concert if it comes near you

Man, I did not know that Mark sang the chorus! I thought it was an overlay with Scott's "and I said ohhhhhhhh". I have ALWAYS loved this banger. And can we mention the base guitar in this please? Wow.

The Guitar is Mark Tremonti. Who started Altered Bridge. He also did a cover album of Frank Sinatra standards

Their entire first album is perfection , but all their albums are good .

This came out in 97..just after grunge died out. Torn off this album is an amazing song.

This song is special to me I was idk 12_13 when it came out. It's a very powerful song it was when I first heard it and all of these years later it still is. My own prison is so relatable for someone who has been an addict. Am I fan of the softer stuff not at all but Creed had something special here. It's definitely a song that marks my youth and takes me back to the late 90s.

This was the first Creed song that dropped on the radio.

This is where my Creed journey began with this particular song back in the late 90's and my 8 year old self was immediately hooked. Now at 32 I love everything they did from My own Prison through Human Clay to Weathered

This was my gateway song into Creed. However I remember playing this song for a friend and his life wasn't where he wanted it. He had tears in his eyes when the song was done, it made a big impact on his life.

Creed song “Torn” is the one that will knock you socks off vocally and musically a banger. Another really great one is “What If” from the 2nd album

"Who's Got My Back?" Nothing more needs to be said!

"STAND HERE WITH ME" is incredible. You guys should check it out. You two are the best RE-ACTORS. Keep it up

Creed's song Don't Stop Dancing is really good. Scott Stapp went solo for awhile after Creed broke up and was lead singer of band Art of Anarchy

Great song, great album. Love Creed! I love the track "Pity for a dime" from the same album (wasn't released as a single). "Bullets" , "Freedom Fighter" & "Who's got my back" from the 'Weathered' album are also stand-outs for me!

never realized how much Scott's voice sounds like Layne Staley's until I heard this

What’s This Life For needs to be next! One of the best tracks off of My Own Prison album.

Not a huge Creed fan but I LOVE this song. Maybe the fact that it's a bit more early 90s grungy vibe is part of it but the lyrics are absolutely phenomenal too

The True Artist make you feel their music

What’s this life for - has to be the next reaction. This album is a real part of a lot of us who are watching these reactions.

I loved Creed back in the day. The band broke up and became a band for a few more years. When the band broke up they became Alterbridge. I seen on a commercial of the band Alterbridge and like the band. I found out later it was the band from Creed. A few years ago i watched Rock Star movie with Mark Wahlberg. I never noticed Myles Kennedy plays Thor at the end of the film where he takes over for singing for Steel Panther. I seen in the credits Myles Kennedy name. So many 80s rock bands cameos in the film. That is one film you both have to check out if you haven’t seen the movie. I met Alterbridge in 2020 before the pandemic. Marc Tremontti I got to talk to. Very cool person the rest I got fist bumped. Marc seen me in the crowd and try to throw me a guitar pic but didn’t land well. I tried to get the security guard to get me the pic. He was so rude to me for no reason at all. I pointed to the pic and hushed me. A group a few rows down sees us pointing to the pic and pointing to the security guy. He picked up the pic and gave it to them. I was like wtf. I did do anything to you. The bassist sees me and throws the guitar pic. It flies to me and falls. I looked on the ground and I see it. I put my foot to cover it so nobody gets it. I grabbed it. I taped it to the bassist autograph picture I have. It was an amazing moment

Y'all are the first I've seen to react to this amazing song! Love the content and keep up the hard work!
