CREED Performs On FOX NEWS' 'Fox & Friends'; Video Available - June 28, 2009

Video footage of the reunited CREED performing two songs live on Fox News' "Fox & Friends" in front of a live audience in New York City on Friday, June 26, 2009 can be viewed below.

CREED recently entered the studio to begin recording its first new album in eight years.

"We're excited to share (the new music) with our fans, and we really have a lot we want to prove" after a five-year hiatus, singer Scott Stapp told Billboard.com. He said CREED ? which hits the road August 6 for a 10-week tour ? has "13, 14 songs that we would consider as album keepers" for the group's first set of new material since 2001's "Weathered". We've written more than that, but we've got this many that are fighting for a spot on the record. So we're in a good place." The group is recording in Nashville with producer Howard Benson.

With the reunited band going out on a summer tour for the first time since disbanding in 2004, Stapp told The Pulse of Radio that he felt it was important for them to make new music together too. "From the beginning, I was 'new record, new record,' but as we all had been apart for a while, there was, you know, 'Well, how is everybody now?'" he said. "The thing that really pushed us through that is to be able to talk about our wives and our children and have that common bond of family. I think it allowed the trust level to move a little faster, and soon after that is when everyone was fully committed to making a record."

Stapp told Billboard.com that the band hopes to have the album completed by the end of June, with a tentative August release in the works.

The record's tentative title is "Full Circle".

CREED will begin its comeback tour on August 6 in Pittsburgh.

US Tour Kickoff on VH1's "Live & Loud Fridays"!

Creed?s 2009 US Tour kicks off this Thursday, August 6th in Pittsburgh, PA.

Tune in to VH1 on Friday August 7th at 9pm EST for coverage from the opening show on VH1?s ?Live & Loud Fridays?!

[Bodhi]

15,000 people at their first gig in over 6 years, with no new album or single out yet..very impressive

Creed Come ?Full Circle,? Reunion Tour Kicks Off With Set of Hits
8/7/09, 9:50 am EST
Thursday night in Pittsburgh, Creed came alive for the very first time since? the previous evening, when the band played a full-production rehearsal concert for 50 contest winners. But Thursday?s show was the first official Creed gig since the Weathered tour ended in January 2003, days after frontman Scott Stapp?s infamous drunken meltdown in Chicago.

Six years later, the group was back to launch the Full Circle tour, which shares a name with the band?s upcoming new album. (It?s due in October.) Full Circle?s lead-off single, ?Overcome,? was the only new material present in Creed?s public rebirth. The 17-song best-of set featured 11 of 13 songs from the band?s double-platinum 2004 Greatest Hits album. Other favorites from the band?s three previous records ? which, combined, have moved 25 million copies in the U.S. alone ? reminded the crowd that Creed were once kings of arena rock.

Read our backstage interview with Scott Stapp here.

Opening night drew a capacity crowd close to 15,000 of diehards from the band?s first run, longtime followers seeing them for the first time, teens with emo hair, parents with grade-school kids in tow, classic-rock lifers wearing new Van Halen tour shirts, and rock fans collectively clad in boatloads of Steelers and Penguins merchandise.

The tour reunites the original lineup for the first time since 2000, when bassist Brian Marshall left. They?re playing as a quintet, with touring rhythm guitarist Eric Friedman. It?s Creed?s biggest production ever. Stapp showered the crowd with constant thanks, but didn?t make any big speeches. The band let their sweat do the talking.

Playing in front of three giant video screens, Creed opened with ?Ode,? Stapp shaking his shaved head like he still had a lion?s mane, grinning ear-to-ear as he leaned on guitarist Mark Tremonti. As the song ended, Stapp declared, ?We have just come full circle!?

The band followed with the metallic ?Bullets,? playing in a semi-circle of erupting flame clouds, and the song ended in a salvo of fireworks. Stapp introduced ?My Own Prison? as ?the song that started it all.? He delivered the song ? and many other anthems of loss, redemption, unity, and faith ? pointing to his chest hard enough to bruise it, making it clear: if the song wasn?t a true, autobiographical story in 1997, it is now.

Onstage (and off), the band displayed no hints of any lingering tension. From the first moments, Stapp and Tremonti didn?t miss a chance to lock eyes from across the stage and bang heads in unison. Stapp still strikes big poses, like a hot-dogging surfer, knees bent, pounding his chest, pointing to the sky. The singer?s voice is still working toward its full depth, but he still holds notes in bedrock delivery. Tremonti was all smiles delivering his simple, majestic riffs. The rhythm section flexed for a tooth-rattling slow groove in ?Never Die.? Dressed in T-shirts and jeans, the band still look ? and move ? like their younger selves.

?Somebody tell me this is not a dream,? said Stapp between songs.

The crowd broke out an even mix of cell phones and lighters for sing-along hits like ?What?s This Life For.? Eight songs in, Stapp had removed his shirt, revealing tattoos and ripples. Creed closed the set closed with ?Higher.? As Stapp climbed the drum riser before the songs?s climax, the crowd?s roars gave way to applause as band played its stately riff in a rain of sparks.

For the encore ? ?One,? ?One Last Breath,? and ?My Sacrifice,? which Stapp dedicated to the crowd and the overseas troops ? Tremonti and a shirtless Stapp stood back-to-back on the stage?s runway, surrounded by the crowd, Stapp?s traps glistening in a shower of white light. They two looked like onetime WWE favorites reunited to reclaim the tag-team title.

?Thank you so much,? Stapp told the crowd. ?God bless you. What a homecoming this is.?

Set List:

?Ode?
?Bullets?
?My Own Prison?
?Say I?
?Torn?
?Never Die?
?What If?
?Unforgiven?
?What?s This Life For?
?Overcome?
?Are You Ready?
?Faceless Man?
?With Arms Wide Open?
?Higher?

Encore:

I don't give a shit what people say, Creed is one of the best band that came out in the late 90's

why the fuck can't Stapp hit the high notes though? that shit is annoying live.

[Bodhi]

I don't give a shit what people say, Creed is one of the best band that came out in the late 90's

as is evident by a lot of the bands discussed here in Bad Obsession, U2, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, etc...great guitar playing is not necesarily a priority for a lot of people on this board, so the lack of respect for Creed is no surprise to me. 

[D]

U never hear people list Tremonti as a guitar god and I think he is.

Just check out his "One Last Breath" riff

amazing
