Well, everyone can make fun of Stapp, and I don't exactly blame you, but there is one fact being overlooked: it sounds like he took out the entire friggin' band! Shit, is Stapp like a kung fu motherfraker or something? I mean, these guys are claiming he just came in and kicked their asses for no reason (although, security says they jumped him). I mean, is he that much of a bad-ass? And, if that ridiculous teenage prank described above is true, then he's tiny to boot!

So, this short, washed-up, drunken dude took out all of 311? I gotta have some respect for him if he managed to pull that off.

I'm confused now. Was somebody calling his sexuality into question?

Could be. He's gotta generate some interest somehow!

I'll go further. I can't think of anyone making worse music than Scott Stapp, other than maybe Ricky Martin and the Backstreet Boys.

Moonbeam said:

You can't think of anyone worse? I sure can....

Britney Spears
Hilary Duff
Lindsay Lohan
Kylie Minogue
J Lo
Ashlee and Jessica Simpson
The Darkness
Ciara
Gwen Stefani's mess called L.A.M.B.

I could go on and on. I hate Stapp and Creed, but I can think of many that are worse.

No, you must like Mr.Stapp's music since you seem pretty obsessed with bring it up. I never said he was all that. He is just not doing anything worst than the Hillary Duff, Lindsay Lohan or Kid Rock (LOL)

As far as him following this chick to the IHOP. Sounds like hetrosexual behavior to me. Sorry every dude in the music industry is not gay.

Don't you think it's weird that the kids who played this prank were a little surprised that he followed a woman to a restaurant. As if this was abnormal?
Sometimes I think that popular culture so obessed with homosexuality we are begining to think that hetrosexual behavior is weird.

A horney rocker chasing a woman. Big frigging deal.

Kylie is a top 10 artist of all time for me. I like Gwen too.

Nope, Creed is worse than all of them in my book, and by a lot.

I took it as somebody being surprised that a "Christian rocker" was out drunk chasing a woman around town. I also don't think we're "so obessed with homosexuality we are begining to think that hetrosexual behavior is weird." And if we are, oh well. I don't find one or the other weird or normal. I'd rather have the tables turned that way for a bit anyway.

laurarichardson said:

Did you have a complete and total brain fart? You brought up his music way before I did. So, you must be the obsessed one. And, you're right he's not doing anything WORST than Duff, Lohan, and Rock. But, he's not doing anything better than Bloc Party, Mars Volta, and the other bands that are actually talented. I can't believe you would try to justify the existence of crap by pointing out more crap like Duff, Lohan, and Rock. It's all bad and it none of it should be given a platform to the masses.

I don't know too many NORMAL heterosexual men that would put that much effort into a hookup. He had his sister drive him from Orlando to Gainesville for a chick he just met at the airport. That's crazy, and says a lot about you if you think it's normal. You must be use to dealing w/ guys that are both desperate and dumb. And, I never said every dude in the music industry is gay. I don't know who you've got me confused w/

And, if you're a fan of Scott Stapp and his choice to hypocritcally be God's personal backup band that's beautiful. But, try not get so emotional when people take stabs at him.

I am surprised that you and those stupid kids take Scott seriously as a Christian Rocker (LOL). This guy had a kid out of wedlock and likes to get drunk and beat the shit out of people. Just does not sound like Christian behavior to me and even if he is a christian he is still human and all human slip up a do stupid ass things from time to time.

laurarichardson said:

What? How'd you get the impression that I take him seriously? That's why I put "Christian rocker" in quotes. I think the dudes a joke, but a lot of people really believe that crap.

311, ex-Creed singer in fight at city hotel
Associated Press
Originally published December 2, 2005
Former Creed lead singer Scott Stapp and members of the band 311 were involved in a fight on Thanksgiving in the lounge of a luxury Baltimore hotel, according to hotel security staff and 311 members.

311 was in Baltimore for a weekend concert when several members ran into Stapp earlier that day, drummer Chad Sexton told the Associated Press. Both Stapp and 311 have the same producer, and Sexton said there were no problems during the first meeting.



But Stapp later came into the Harbor Court Hotel bar while Sexton and band mates Doug "SA" Martinez and "P-Nut" were watching basketball on television. He stepped in front of the screen and said, "311, I am ready to fight," according to Sexton.
Sexton said the band tried to defuse the situation, and Stapp went to the bar to drink. Later, Sexton said, Stapp made "inappropriate" comments to Martinez's wife and was confrontational with Sexton.

"All of a sudden, he clocked me in the left side of my face," Sexton said. "Then a huge fight broke out."

During the melee, Martinez broke a finger and later went to the hospital to have a cast put on his hand. Security guards eventually broke up the brawl. Police were called, but no arrests were made, according to hotel security.

"It was an unfortunate incident," Sexton said. "We are not brawlers."

Beth Keifetz, vice president of publicity at Stapp's label, Wind-up Records, would not comment on the reports of a fight.

But Jonathan Jordan, director of security at the hotel, who said the incident was captured on hotel security cameras, said Stapp was "attacked" by several members of 311. It took two security guards to break up the fight, he said.

Officer Troy Harris, a Baltimore police spokesman, said the department did not have any record of officers responding to the hotel.
