Apparently, Creed was waiting for a week where their reunion announcement wouldn’t be the most depressing story on the internet to announce that they’re reuniting — sorry, God, but prepare to have your name attached to more disposable high school poetry on Creed’s upcoming album and summer tour, kicking off on August 6th in (sigh) Pittsburgh.
Hopefully after five years apart from the band, Scott Stapp has matured past the point where every word out of his mouth sounds like a Christopher Guest character’s artistic delusion mixed with equal parts faux-religiousness and pure hilarity?
“I wouldn’t call it a reunion,” the lead singer said. “It’s a renewing and a rebirth. I missed my boys and wanted to create music with them again. We’re all thrilled to have a second chance to make a first impression.”
So much for that. Go on.
“We want to put ourselves around the best and have them bring out the best in us and challenge us as artists,” he said. “This band is my first love and a first love that’s stood the test of time.”
That quote was actually translated into Japanese on Babelfish and translated back. What else do you have in store, Scott?
“And nine Jesus poses per video? You bet yer sweet ass!” he added, winking.
I may have made this sentence up, but barely.
