Creed Frontman High And/Or Wasted At Chicago Gig..

[Guest Snappy Nappy Dugout]

"CREED frontman Scott Stapp was reportedly "high out of his mind and could not sing" at the band's Chicago show at Allstate arena Sunday night (Dec. 29), nearly falling down numerous times during the performance. A CREED fan writes on the Creed Pit message board, "As soon as Stapp STAGGERED on to stage it was obvious it was going to be bad. He about fell down numerous times. Sat down through the majority of the show. Laid flat on his back and could hardly get back up. When he did get up he slammed his mic and took out his ear plugs and pack." "rocketman123" added, "My wife just called from Chicago and said Scott was so drunk he fell and left the stage several times. She was really sad to see him like that and said a lot of pitters just couldn't believe what they saw."

 

Another source sent the following message to BLABBERMOUTH.NET: "My friends went to the CREED concert last night and said it was the worst show they had ever seen of this caliber. They have seen CREED half a dozen times and said last night was a departure from their usually stellar performances. Apparently Scott Stapp was high out of his mind and could not sing. After three songs he was booed off the stage… Scott ran off stage and did not return for ten minutes. After finally returning, I guess he was missing all his cues and the guitar player and drummer had to cover by playing several unplanned solos. My friends said he was obviously out of his mind and could not stand let alone sing. Most of the show he either sat propped against the riser or laid flat on his back... sweating like a pig, stumbling around likening the display to the late Morrison."

 

Beth H writes on Metromix, "By far the worst concert I have ever attended. I was truly disappointed in Scott Stapp. I'm a huge CREED fan and for him to behavior this way makes me think that maybe he doesn't care as much about his fans as he says he does. I believe an apology and an explanation are in order!" Melissa M added, "I almost had to check my concert ticket to see what show I had come to see. I thought that maybe I was at either a STONE TEMPLE PILOTS or a GUNS N' ROSES show! This is something that I would never expect from the band CREED." Brian T commented, "It was a sad day for CREED fans. I was hoping that Scott had the flu as I heard him squeal through bullets for the opener. To everyone's amazement, it wasn't the flu. Scott was completely smashed. He forgot the words to some songs, and let the crowd sing the others. I felt bad for the other guys - they looked embarrassed as they did their best to put the pieces back together. When he walked off stage after 'Who's Got My Back', I secretly hoped they would cancel the show saying that Scott was feeling ill. The only good thing that may come out of this is if Scott goes into rehab and comes up with some new lyrics for the fourth album. This was my 3rd CREED concert and I have never been so disappointed. I send my best wishes to Scott and the guys, and hope that he can get his life back together, and find that magic and presence that made them my favorite band in the first place. Hopefully they can find a way to make it up to the fans in Chicago, especially for the first time concert goers out there."

Bahahaha, knew it would happen someday.

[Guest Incandenza]

What a bizarrely written article.

[Guest Eagan469]

Creed fucking sucks

[Guest JAxlMorrison]

Well, look at it this way. Scott Stapp has always wanted to be Jim Morrison, maybe now he is trying to copy some of his habits. Also, doesn't this showing up drunk and high stuff start to ruin his image as a good Christian? I thought he said he didn't drink or do drugs? Oh well.............

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

Fabulous.

[Guest Sassquatch]

Just another hypocritical musician coming out of the closet.

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

If my Behind the Music memory serves me right, Stapporino dabbled in drugs before rediscovering religion and what not. Relapses rule.

[Guest Kinetic]

Well, he's a rock star. It had to happen eventually. Why weren't they playing back to DAT tapes, anyway? He could have mimed his way right through it.

[Guest JangoFett4Hire]

He was just high on God and stuff. Shoulda been drunk on Sunday Morning...

[Guest DrainYou42]

I guess something finially took him "higher" (Bad joke, I Know)

[B. Brian Brunzell 0]

Anyone actually seen Stapp lately. He's turned into a fat fucking rock star. He's almost Jani Lane, but not quite.

 

I guess there won't be any more fanned Jesus poses in the next video.

WHERE'S YOUR MESSIAH NOW STAPP?!

[Guest subliminal_animal]

I'm a huge CREED fan and for him to behavior this way makes me think that maybe he doesn't care as much about his fans as he says he does. I believe an apology and an explanation are in order!"

This lady bugs me.

 

Melissa M added, "I almost had to check my concert ticket to see what show I had come to see. I thought that maybe I was at either a STONE TEMPLE PILOTS or a GUNS N' ROSES show!

They do this? If not, unnecessary cheap shot.

 

This is something that I would never expect from the band CREED."

"The band Creed."

 

Brian T commented, "It was a sad day for CREED fans.

This guy is lame.

 

I was hoping that Scott had the flu as I heard him squeal through bullets for the opener.

What does "squeal through bullets" mean? Is that a saying or something?

 

To everyone's amazement, it wasn't the flu.

How do you know? This guy thinks he's a doctor!

 

I don't hate Scott Stapp, but I don't like him either. Oh well.

I believe the guy meant Stapp was Squealling while they played "Bullets".

 

However, This is great. I love Creed (as my closet Band). Stapp just got cool.
