Creed Worldwide: If you have a burning question for Creed, please enter it in the questions bar above your chat window, and we will begin. ARE YOU READY? Scott Stapp: Hello! Glad you made it! Mark Tremonti: Hey, what's going on out there! Scott Phillips: Thanks for joining us! Creed Worldwide: Let's kick this off! What were some of your favorite bands growing up? Scott Stapp: Def Leppard, U2, Elvis Presley, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd. Scott Phillips: Guns 'N' Roses, pretty much all the other ones Scott said. Metallica, Morbid Angel, Death Angel, Dwight Yoakum, Ted Nugent, KISS, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Run DMC, Beastie Boys, Ice T, NWA, Anthrax, The Eagles, Bad Company, Cream, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Molly Hatchet, Deep Purple. Those bands were from all of us, we all like the same music. CWW88alicia: My one question is why do you do what you do? I mean, why do you write and play such great music? Why do you love music? Mark Tremonti: We do what we do because we love it. Personally, since I was 5 or 6 years old I wanted a guitar for Christmas and I didn't get one till I was 11. It's always been a childhood dream of mine. Scott Stapp: We'd be doing this no matter what; it's what we do. It's our passion. It's whether we were personally successful or world known. We'd still be in Scott's basement, trying to scrape up money. We'd probably be doing this till we were 80 years old. Another thing is, for me personally once I found my path in life and realized this is what I wanted to do in life, I was so disappointed with what was on radio. And I thought that if I got on radio, I'd have something to say. Something with meaning and passion and feeling, songs that mean something. Scott Phillips: Music has always been a part of my life and I knew that at some point in my life I'd be involved in it. When I was playing in a polka club on 8th street-- Scott Stapp: He just likes to beat on things - drums. Scott Phillips: The whole polka thing…that was a joke! CWWskimray82: Who is the guy on the motorcycle on the BC CD? Mark Tremonti: It's a friend of ours named Pierre, and my brother was good friends with him and he designed the CD and thought it would be clever to put Pierre's father on the motorcycle. He looked like the symbol for blue collar. Back in the day when we released our first CD we had a label called Blue Collar Records so that guy on the motorcycle looked pretty much like the symbol for Blue Collar Records, he was like a blue collar guy.
