Creed history:
Creed is originally from Tallahassee, Florida.They formed from classmates Scott Stapp and Mark Tremonti after a reunion of the high school classmates. .Scott Stapp said that most of the bands were playing cover songs so we kind of stood out. .we played four-hour gigs with 20 originals, and 20 covers. .our goal was to replace a cover with an original every week and that’s what we ended up with -- four hours of our own songs. .Right from the start, Creed has been original with their music. .The songs that Mark and Scott S. wrote became some of the songs that we see on 'My Own Prison'. .Stapp recalls that he had a ritual for writing music - he says he would lay down every night with a pen and paper and write the lyrics. .After showing the band the new lyrics, including co-song writer Mark Tremonti, they could come up with a whole song. Creed's music has a rich blend of different types of music. You can hear metal, r&b, etc. in the music that they play. .Creed released 'My Own Prison' in August of 1997, and has been a hit ever since. .It was certified platinum in March of this year, and all the songs relased have been hits on modern rock radio.
