Scott Stapp on Creed Reemergence, Fame & the Heartbeat on “With Arms Wide Open”

[@GillBoldberg]

Great to see Scott happy and healthy - mentally, physically, and spiritually. Creed are finally getting the respect they deserve.

[@peteh5293]

One of the greatest comebacks ever.

[@horsesbandits9666]

“I know what is like to have it, and I know what is like to not” I really appreciate what you just said, Scott! 👊👊👊

[@brianwagner5008]

This guy is sooo humble and Thankful. I do love that there was no plan B for him and Creed. And it’s great they are back and just killing. Good for Scott, Mark and Creed. 🤘🤘🤘🤘⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

I was standing in line for creed tickets over 20 years ago and the concert was canceled, never to be rescheduled. Creed imploded and morphed into Alter Bridge. Oved decades, AB became my favorite band. Saw them in concert. Total dream. Then last night the loop closed with finally seeing Creed perform together again. AB is my number 1, but seeing Creed together again with what seems to be a genuinely healthy Stapp was a really beautiful thing. Felt really special in that arena. Stuff healed in there last night for a lot of folks like me I think. Really happy for the dude. He sounded great. His voice is really working back into shape.

[@bigpappi9342]

I had almost the same experience. I had the tickets in hand to take my daughter to see them in Dallas then a week before the concert they broke up, she was devastated. Saturday night I finally got to take her to see them and we both cried like babies during “With arms wide open”. We are so glad you guys are back. The positivity this band exudes is so badly needed these days. May God bless you all and keep you and your families safe and healthy.

Seen them last night and I couldn’t agree more! Blink 182 have been my fav band since middle school, just the fun of it all, but I’ve always liked all music. I went last night knowing I would know all the songs and enjoy them, I had no clue I was going to be completely jaw dropped not even able to sing along I was so awestruck, what I witnessed from the first to the last second of the show was a band reminding everyone exactly why they were the biggest band in the world, and they performed flawlessly. I remember thinking last night that this guy could possibly be the greatest vocalist of all time and great performer. I can’t say enough 20 out of 10 and I think I have a new fav band.

[@brentj.peterson6070]

Never thought they would reunite. So satisfying.

[@alextanguay5886]

Just saw Creed tonight in Toronto. Wow what a show! 🔥

[@Steelrain322]

@@alextanguay5886yea it was an amazing show , did you see them play at Budweiser stage last summer ? I did. Felt lucky to see them twice in one year.

[@maryellerousse3027]

Awesome! Concert of 2024! Greatest comeback! ❤❤❤

[@kim44133]

Just seen them yesterday in Cle, and I've seen them 3 times . My son, who poked fun at me for loving Creed, attended. He said it was awesome! Even apologized for mocking me! I'm 61 and he's 26. One of their best shows!!!

[@themillionairemindset342]

This is one of the best interviews and interviewer I’ve seen. Great job.

[@rawkguy4896]

10 years ago I never imagined things would be where they are now. I am so proud of him. Hopefully him and Mark can cut some new songs at some point

[@ravfan123]

I hope so too. The only thing is Tremonti is really busy with a ton of upcoming projects but hopefully he can squeeze some new Creed in there 👍

[@tylerolsonfilms]

Yes bro for real. Surprised they haven’t already!

[@vance836]

Inside Us All is highly underrated and does not get the attention it deserves. That was my go to when things were not going well for me.

[@susanrednour1605]

Diehard CREED FAN!! MY LIFE WOULD BE FULLFILLED IF I EVER GOT TO SEE THEM!!!!❤❤❤

[@susanrednour1605]

He is the ultimate lead man. He's still the same humble guy, charming and beautiful ❤

[@juantwo3]

I went to see Creed this summer at VA Beach and they were AWESOME! I will definitely be going in 2025 if they tour again. Scott’s vocals sounded incredible and Mark shredding was something special to see. You could feel that the band had good chemistry and it was great to see them together again!

[@sndrv-bc6rn]

Love Scott 😍 such a sweetheart. All the best for him ❤

[@adamfanalways]

What a great interview, thank you guy for having Scott on! Please have him back! I just went to the Cleveland show last night! I put up the their full concert 🎶 set last night! It was incredible, Creed being back is phenomenal!🤟🎶🥰🫶

[@Andy_wwe_browns]

I saw Creed in Cleveland, and like wow. Very very good and loud. Stage and lighting and the fire blended perfectly with the packed crowd

[@adamfanalways]

[@andypuckett8721]

I realy love Scott and Bobby bones Bobby is realy the light of my day love all of his shows

[@brentj.peterson6070]

Scott went thru a lot on this journey. Some his fault..some of it medical/biology. It's awesome he came out ok. Many musicians in his occupation aren't as lucky. God is with him for sure. It's cool to see him and his bandmates thriving again.

[@damosimo11]

Wonderful interview. Such a genuine guy.

[@robclark5278]

I got to see them in Norman OK first tour and scott was sick and could only do 5 or 6 songs but got to see them on are you ready tour in K.C. and it was awesome. They brought back the rock and we thank you.

[@chenillehart6411]

I hear the word Gratitude from him a lot! Would LOVE to hear a Creed rock version of Brandon Lake’s song “Gratitude”! And Brandon Lake loves Creed so I know he’s be honored!!

Yo scott..put 'stand here with me' in the setlist bro!

[@Georgecarlin69420]

In 2014, Creed frontman Scott Stapp publicly announced that he was broke and homeless, asking fans for financial assistance. During this period, his struggles with substance abuse became widely known, and his son, Jagger, publicly urged people not to send him money, stating that his father needed professional help rather than financial aid. Jagger criticized Scott’s behavior, including his focus on social media for attention rather than addressing his issues. Although Scott eventually sought treatment and has since claimed to maintain sobriety, there is no publicly available information detailing how much money he received during that period or whether he repaid any of it. His appeals were part of a larger struggle to regain stability, both financially and in his personal life, which included strained relationships with his family  .

[@maureenmensing5557]

Scott wouldn't put Faceless Man on his "Mt. Rushmore" of Creed songs? I'm surprised but there's only room for four songs! 🎶

[@DenaKaye-Scott]

IN Dallas they played it but in in Fort Worth last night they did not. They had a different line up.
