Creed has lived extreme highs - their first three albums have sold 35 million records – and some lows - they were mocked daily by members of Blink 182 and the Foo Fighters. Singer Scott Stapp pulled some eye catching moves getting into fights and becoming a tabloid target after an X-rated tape featuring him, a woman and Kid Rock appeared on the Internet.

“A lot of the things we’ve gone through and a lot of the things Scott went through those few years we were apart, they almost needed to happen,” drummer Scott Phillips said. “It’s a shame, but it needed to happen to make all of us, especially him, much different people than we were in 2002. We’ve all grown up, we have families now and we have a better understanding of what’s important in life and what’s superficial.”
