Perhaps, but I also heard he's a Bush basher.
The last good Christian rock band was Stryper, IMHO.
Some of the "softer" modern CCM is good, but as far as hard rock, Stryper rules!!
What? Petra was way better. IMO.
I'm an old goat who never heard of Stryper.
So tell me: is his name pronounced Str-eye-per or Stripper?
Without his bandmates, Stapp set out to launch a solo career.
When Hollywood actor/director Mel Gibson came calling with an idea, the project was just what Stapp needed to jump start his solo gig.
Stapp was invited to view a private screening of a rough cut of "The Passion of the Christ," a film that would go on to be the second top-grossing film at the U.S. box office to-date in 2004. After watching the film, Stapp was asked if he would consider writing a song for an album of music inspired by the film.
"I think they reached out to me because a lot of people assumed, and rightfully so based on a lot of the analogies and references I made in my career with Creed, that I was a Christian or that we were a Christian band," Stapp said.
The result of the offer is "Relearn Love," the first single already at radio from "Passion of the Christ: Songs," which will be released Tuesday.
Just as an aside, I remember several years ago reading that this Scott guy injured himself very badly while making one of his music videos. The story, at the time, was about how he completed the video even though he was in incredible pain. Maybe it's a pain pill addiction that can happen to ANYBODY. He was also on O'Reilly about a year ago when O'Reilly was on his LUDACRIS rampage. Scott came on to talk about how there are bands out there with positive messages for kids. He just seemed like a pretty good guy.
