I can't tell you how many letters & emails we've received here, asking, "Is Creed a Christian band?" Vocalist Scott Stapp said it best when he was recently on the show Politically Incorrect: "We're not a Christian rock band. People say that because I like to write about God." The first indication people got that something was up with this band was when their first single, the album's title track, started getting heavy radio airplay on mainstream stations all over the country. Lyrics like, "See a vision of a cross / I feel the pain that was given . . . only he holds the key / A light to free me from my burden / And grant me life eternally . . . I cry out to God / Seeking only his decision." Sounds like music I like to hear! But the latest single, "What's This Life For," thrice screams: "Don't have to settle no God (bleep) score!" Hmm. I hate hearing the Lord's Name in vain, but I love Creed's music.
