Re: Slash interview - Argentina
The band's music was often great but the 'frat boy' image and the frat boy fans wrecked my head.
It was a bad time for heavy music, a lot of dumbass fans about.
What band we talkin about here? Limp Biscuit? Creed? Matchbox 20? haha...

Re: Slash interview - Argentina
Bands that had good songs that I did like on some level for what they were, pop rock bands...
Matchbox 20
Hootie and the Blowfish
Creed's first album had some cool shit, I won't lie.
Re: Slash interview - Argentina
Yeah that's kind of what happened with me with Creed. I LOATHED them when they were popular, because everyone, from kids to parents, girls to boys, LOVED Creed. I just couldn't stand how oversaturated they were.
Then years later I heard "What's This Life For?" on the radio, and it kind of shot me back instantly to my high school days, I remembered the Halloween H2O video, and I decided to go back (secretly) and re-examine the band.
They really weren't that bad, and Scott Stapp was a unique vocalist, very specific to his generation. If you dig 'post grunge', those guys kind of started it all.
For all the kiddies out there today, there would be no Nickleback or Shinedown, without Creed. And there wouldn't be Creed if it weren't for the melodies and vocal-style developed and popularized by Alice In Chains.
