October 2, 2012 11:25 AM ET Scott Stapp of Creed Scott Stapp may have voted for Barack Obama in 2008, but the Creed frontman said this morning on Fox & Friends that he's "disappointed" by the president and his administration, who Stapp said have made "a lot of promises, but no real delivery." While Stapp did not explicitly that he would cast his vote for Republican candidate Mitt Romney, he told the Fox News morning crew that he wanted a candidate with a clear plan that Americans could understand. "My heart and soul would really want someone like Reagan or...

For Scott Stapp, the honeymoon was over before it even began. Hours after the former Creed frontman tied the knot with beauty queen Jaclyn Nesheiwat in Miami on Friday, the rocker was rung up for public intoxication in Los Angeles. Stapp, en route to his Hawaiian honeymoon, was stopped from boarding a plane at Los Angeles International Airport Saturday after airline personnel deemed the rocker "antagonistic" and "boisterous." A spokesman for the airport police, Lieutenant Tyrone Stallings, said the rocker was arrested on suspicion of being drunk in a public place and taken to the Van Nuys station for processing....

Fight over $60k "medical treatments" with tainted L.A. detox doc SEPTEMBER 14--A business associate of rock star Scott Stapp, the Creed frontman, claims that the singer failed to reimburse him $60,000 paid to a controversial Beverly Hills doctor known for his unorthodox drug detox treatments.

Cameron, who works for Stapp's management company, does not further describe those treatments in his complaint and he declined to provide...

Thirty million albums ago, a Florida-based rock band named Creed debuted on the American music scene with an album called My Own Prison. Led by singer Scott Stapp, Creed peppered its records with religious phrases and tributes to God and even a condemnation of abortion. One reporter labeled the band "Bible thumping rockers," while another opined that the problem with Creed was that they lacked "the crucial hell-raising and devil-may-care abandon that elevates rock to transcendent heights." These were just some of the many Creed-bashing reviews that would appear in print as the band reached the top of the rock...

It may be rock n'roll, but we don't like it Tue Apr 22, 6:15 PM ET CHICAGO (AFP) - Their albums may have gone platinum but a concert by popsters Creed left some fans distinctly unimpressed -- so much so they sued for a refund. Four fans that attended a December 2002 concert by Creed outside Chicago filed a class action lawsuit in circuit court here Monday seeking two million dollars in damages from the band, its promoters, and the ticket-sellers. The disgruntled concertgoers allege in court papers that the band's lead singer Scott Stapp was so "intoxicated and/or medicated...

I was wondering if anybody can name some conservative rockers. It seams most people in the Music Industry are Left-Leaning, especially the hard stuff. I think you could say the same for most entertainment personalities, including movie stars and directors. So if any of my fellow conservatives could point me in the way of some good conservative rock groups it would be appreciated.

This story has a very strange source. I'm listening to the Howard Stern Show. Every Friday, Mike Walker, the national editor of the National Enquirer, comes on and they play The Gossip Game. Walker offers up four stories, with one of them being false and the other three true. The people on the show have to guess the fake story.Anyway, I thought the following story had to be the fake one, because I couldn't imagine it wouldn't have gotten much more coverage, but I can't find anything else about it. But, according to Mike Walker, it is a true story....

The audience for some top-name music acts apparently is shrinking. Denver's Rocky Mountain News reports that David Bowie, Moby, Busta Rhymes and the Blue Man Group, who were scheduled to perform this month in the city's 18,000-seat Pepsi Center as part of Moby's Area: Two concert tour, have had the venue of their concert switched to the 5,000-seat CityLights Pavilion, owing to a lack of ticket sales. And some lesser acts are even having trouble fill, ing that smaller arena. The News states that the Roy Haynes and Michael Feinstein concerts scheduled at CityLights for later this month have been...

Maybe Sting should start writing more instrumentals. The school teacher-turned-rock star topped Blender's list of the worst lyricists, thanks to lines that betray "mountainous pomposity (and) cloying spirituality," the music magazine said. The survey, contained in the November issue that hits newsstands next week, placed Rush drummer Neil Peart at No. 2, Creed frontman Scott Stapp at No. 3, Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher at No. 4, and soft-rocker Dan Fogelberg at No. 5. Blender assailed Sting for such alleged sins as name-dropping Russian novelist Vladimir Nabokov in the Police tune "Don't Stand So Close to Me," quoting a Volvo bumper...

Rock, 35, and Stapp, 32, do not have sex with each other on the tape, but they do trade jokes and share camera time as they get down with some strippers.
