I still don't know what happened to his voice back then and I guess he never attended to this matter, just let it pass by.Shortman45 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 21, 2023 10:14 pm Wow, he does sounds great. Imagine if he sounded like that during the 2009 reunion…
He's actually explained this in various interviews.

Interesting, do you have any links for those topics? I'd really like to know.nagpo wrote: ↑Sat Apr 22, 2023 11:07 amHe's actually explained this in various interviews.

1. Stapp, at first, was never a pro trained singer. So he didn't know technicalities of singing. Like how to preserve his voice.
2. In addition, stapps voice also took a hit post creed break up when his drug use, mental issues, and alcohol addiction resulted in several vocal issues as well.
3. Stapp at this point has suffered permanet vocal damage from overuse, not knowing how to properly sing to preserve his voice, and drug use.
4. So stapp goes to do creed, his nerves are shot because of rehab - he's lost his edge. He doesn't know how to do proper breathing techniques for his voice so he's always out of breath and singing in his deepest baritone. He's lost his range and control. At some point during the reunion I think Mark introduces Stapp to Myles' singing instructor to help him.
5. Regardless, that's why he sounds like crap in that era. He basically goes for several years of drug and mental issue relapses until he returns with AoA and the space between the shadow. At some point prior to these releases, I remember him talking about how he finally got a teacher and/or some sort of instruction on how to sing properly.
this is a general explanation of what happened
No this is just from memory of various interviews over the years. I don't keep links but i remember a lot of what's inferred or said. He talks about his vocal issues and drug uses in his book a little as well. I don't think there is an exact interview where he's asked "why did your vocals suck in 09?" and he answers "I ruined my voice from mistreatment and drugs." Stapp kind of implies things after the fact. Drops bread crumbs i guess because he doesn't like to talk about it. You don't have to take my word for it, you can do your own research. But I've basically seen every interview this guy has had his entire career.fudish123 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 22, 2023 11:36 amInteresting, do you have any links for those topics?

Imagine being Stapp during this song with this crowd." Having undiagnosed bipolar disorder with an approval crave due to a shitty family structure, yeah, we know what comes next. The few people I know who didn't let fame take the best from them in the regard you're implying were the grunge ones.Dan Dando wrote: ↑Wed Apr 26, 2023 10:12 pm Man, I'd love for someone interviewing Mark to ask him if he ever watches some of these old Creed shows on YouTube.
Also, it's so easy to understand how fame messes people up. Imagine being Stapp during this song with this crowd.
Edit - And young people singing along so passionately to lyrics like 'and we all live under the reign of one king' blows my mind. Can't imagine that nowadays.
