Every band has its own story regarding the formation and signing a record deal with big companies. The story might go like this. Some three or four guys would meet up somewhere and due to their similar interest they would form a band and perform in the local gigs and pubs. They would one day be spotted by some label company’s personnel and would be offered to record an album. This is what the normal story goes. Some might achieve success and some might not.

The story of Creed also happens to be a very usual one with Mark Tremonti and Scot Stapp being friends for a long time decided to form a band. With two other members joining the band they formed Creed. They then released an album called "My Own Prison" which went to become a platinum album. The album had some great and catchy numbers which helped Creed gain maximum popularity. Following this hit album, they released two other albums "Human Clay" followed by "Weathered" which did very well in the market. After the third album "Weathered", Creed came into extinction and they no more evolve in the music scene.

There could be so many reasons why Creed became such a hit band in a short span of time. Scot Stapp’s magical voice could be one of them and Mark Tremonti’s terrific drop D tune in his guitar works could be another. Perhaps the lyrics and writing skills of Scot Stapp is another factor which made Creed a very hit band in such a shot span of time.
The extinction of Creed has also some reasons. As stated by the other band members, Scot is good only at studios and is very bad in doing live shows. So, the band members were not happy with Scot and this is the main reason behind Creed’s extinction.
But as far as I am concerned, Scot sang well and I really liked his voice. Tremonti’s guitar works suited him very well and Creed happens to be my favorite band of all time.
