The singer from Creed is broke and living in a Holiday Inn.

Was this thread about Creed?

Haha, best post in thread.

Thanks, I'll check em out.

Don't bother. That is some of the worst music I have ever heard. Went there expecting a better version of Creed as I was promised. Listened to 2 songs and it was some kind of speed metal Slayer type crap but then the guy started singing and it was like a cheesy Dokken song or something. Absolutely terrible.

I certainly hope someone can take him higher. Otherwise, he might not make it.

Was this thread about Creed?

It was about folks trying to divert attention from their beloved Nickelback.

 

[heymrdj]

Sounds like he created his own prison. :sneaky:

 

[monkeydelmagico]

self inflicted misery. He can probably use his points club card to live in hotels and travel the world for free for the rest of his life. I feel so sorry for him.

I liked Creed. It's one of my guilty pleasures.

The chick I was dating from Apopka way back when had a brother in 'Creed'.

It was called something funeral then, he quit right before they succeeded. She had rich parents so it wasn't that big a deal.

I was also at parties where Vince Neil from Motley Crue attended dating some playmates in my circle (I wasn't having sex with those playmate) back in high school / early college.

This isn't about you and your blog...

 

[alkemyst]

I didn't realize he was just picked up again. He lived locally for a while and it was local news.

You do realize by responding you aren't helping you cause. At least my post added something other than a tread crap to this thread.

YOU GO BOY!

Is it a fact that the guy was ever rich though? I know some bands get ripped from the music label. I'm sure after the money is split and things get paid for, each member may not end up with a whole lot after a few hits or over with.

The over saturation of Creed power cords on the radio for several straight years is what inspired me to forsake the radio thereafter.

He was worth $30million in the late 90's, today celebrity net worth reports him as worth $10k but are skeptical about his claims.

I am sure between homes and property he can pull together much more than that.

While, selling albums is generally not as lucrative as you would think (at least, for the artists), touring and merchandise is where artists make most of their money. Creed sold out shows for awhile. This guy made money. And, if he actually wrote those songs, he made even more.

This. He might be broke in the sense he has no liquid assets, but I find it hard to believe he doesn't have anything he can move to get some cash. It just might take a while.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

There's a Christian on Youtube that thinks the Moon is faked...not the landing, the whole fucking object in the sky.

Lol... I know those type of people. I worked with a guy in Korea who was convinced the moon landing, 9/11 and the Virginia Tech massacre were all parts of a government conspiracy. He is also sure that the dollar is going to collapse anytime soon. This was in 2011. He invests heavily in silver.

What about royalties? It's hard to believe that he's not going to see any money.

Depends entirely on his contract and who owns the rights to the music.

 

[alkemyst]

He is claiming the IRS has a hold on all his assets.

True. I remember when Metallica had an issue with their royalties a while back. I'm sure they got the issues hammered out.

The thing is Metallica can still sell a few million albums per release. Creeds time has probably come and gone.

They are still pretty heavily played on some stations.

Any money =/= enough money

The other members still have net worths in the 20+ million range.

He blew his money on drugs.

Reminds me of Antoine Walker. He blew $110m. Sold his NBA championship ring he won with Miami. I believe he's worth $100k now.

What a fall.
