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.

[@colinamey2921]

Watching this interview makes me a fan. He seems so genuine and grateful. Seems like a good dude all around.

[@lindaminella7775]

I saw him 20 years ago in New York and last Thursday in Orlando. He is a beast. I adore this man. What a show.

[@woodnbikes]

I seen them 20 years ago at MSG... Gonna catch one of the 2025 shows next!!

[@susanrednour1605]

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

[@williamstarnes4163]

Creed is a great band timeless classics

[@WilsonsWorlds]

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.

[@billeinstein5569]

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.

[@ashberrychapman7117]

Beautiful interview and energies thank you. There is a profound humility that comes to many people who've been to hell and back. Scott Stapp is a huge inspirational example of how to embrace the traumas of the past and switch them to wisdom. Sensitives are in many ways open to the troubles of the world and they carry this burden until they break. Thank you and love to anyone struggling with their own demons. There is light, and it comes if you want it more than who you used to be. Love and gratitude, Alan Chapman

Great interview! Love you Scott! So talented! Great to see you happy and healthy! Creed, greatest of all time! ❤️🤘🏻

[@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. 🤘🤘🤘🤘⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@cindiexoxoxo3773]

I saw them twice this year!! Totally worth every penny! I love him!

[@Herndon4906]

Absolutely agree! Saw them in August in Hershey, PA and again last week in Allentown, PA. Both shows rocked!

[@themillionairemindset342]

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

[@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!!!

[@hobojungle1]

Kids are dumb. Glad he saw the light though.

[@logancreed5041]

That's Awesome. Im 48 and saw them last month with my 23 year old son. We both cried and hugged during Arms Wide Open. I would to play my acoustic guitar and sing it to him when he was a baby, it was so surreal to be at that show with him... Thank you Scott 😊

[@lisaschneider5800]

Scott looks happy & content . His voice is amazing!!! I love the song Black Butterfly! I am so glad that he got his life together & that Creed are killing it on tour! I LOVE CREED!!!!

[@vincereynolds6092]

As a fan of Creed I am so happy to see such a great interview! After such a hard fall it's nice to see Scott rise up. The interviewer was OUTSTANDING!

[@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.

[@detroit313vlogs7]

This comeback is so well deserved with every single one in that band

[@maryellerousse3027]

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

[@TMJ-YT]

Saw this tour. Best show i have ever seen. Just bought tix for next August.

[@sndrv-bc6rn]

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

[@risingoneagleswings1776]

Scott is such an inspiration. He was literally on death's bed a few times. He found his faith again and the Lord Jesus saved him for this time and place. It's inspirational and encouragement for us all.

[@coldspider2199]

Why the comeback was so huge??? Because the nostalgia!!! Human Clay was my introduction into rock when i was a teen. I eventually learned about my own prison shortly after, but Human Clay was my intro. That was over 25 years ago. When i listen to Creed now it brings back all the great memories i had as a teen. My dad would sing along all the time. I remember lying in bed with fresh AA batteries in my anti-skip cd player and my sony headphones on jamming out to creed until i fell asleep. To go from a headbang to What If, to tearing up to Wash Away Those Years, it just brings back all the feelings i had as a teen. Just watched your live show from Detroit yesterday that was posted on youtube. It felt amazing and Creed is very much Creed!!!! You all look healthy and i can tell you guys are at the top of your game again!!!! Creed will go down as the legends of the Attitude Era musically. Hope you guys tour through IL again. Ive never seen you guys live and your at the top of my concert list. I plan on buying VIP as well so i can meet everyone. Keep up the great work Creed!!!!!

[@kendagostino5699]

Just saw them at Madison square garden last week. They were amazing! Last time I saw him was probably back in the late '90s early 2000s.... Fourth time I seen them and he still sounds just as good... If they rock the House!

[@rayray1405]

WE Were At The Toronto, Canada Show Days Before NY!, We Came Across Canada To See Them They ROCKED!!, CREED FOREVER!!!

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

[@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!

[@hobojungle1]

@@ravfan123I think by end of 2025 they’ll start working on a release for first half of 2026. That’s my prediction.

[@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.

[@davecrissinger8967]

I have seen Creed twice this year, once in the Summer and again in the Fall. Best Concerts that I even been too. The one with Mammoth was the best of all.

[@drpeck104]

My very first concert was Creed / Sevendust / 3 Doors down in Ft. Wayne, IN in like late spring 1999. I just saw them again in Atlanta on 12/4 with 3 Doors Down and WVH. I loved every minute of it. My five year old always asks now to hear the "take me higher" song when I drive her to school. She was so upset she couldn't go to the concert with me, but alas, she's 5 and it was a school night. I look forward to when I can bring her, maybe in a few years, hah!

[@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!

[@DammDamian]

Got their second album when I was 10 now I’m 30 and cannot wait to see them live plus he sounds so dam good live ❤

Great interview!. Thanks. :)

[@chtimixeur]

Great interview indeed!

[@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  .

[@brianchapman5539]

When Scott gave his Top 4 songs I was sure he would’ve said “Faceless Man”. What an amazing song. I bet he was just on the spot. I got to see them sing that live back in September in atlanta. I just saw them last week in Atlanta and they replaced that slot with another great tune “Inside us All”. Man I can’t wait to see them again. Super bummed I didn’t see Atl on the 2025 dates. I guess I’m gonna travel. lol

[@stevestrang2376]

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.

[@CREVIII_LIDENSKAP4DANS]

So Scott Stapp can speak proper English............I was trying to work out what dialect he sings in and it's not a dialect at all it's caricature..........he purposely changes the sounds of the consanants and vowels for example he says Opan............when the word is Open...........It doesn't sound great at all...............but in all his songs he overly exaggerates

[@gericorrigan1568]
