3 DOORS DOWN INDIRECTLY SLAGS STAPP

3 Doors Down have been touring with Alter Bridge, which is the other members of Creed without Scott Stapp. Creed ended a few years back because singer Scott Stapp had become unmanageable. After an alleged drunken performance on New Year’s Eve turning from 2002 to 2003, the band never played again.

Stapp is set to release his solo record, and the other three members including Mark Tremonti went on to form Alter Bridge with singer Myles Kennedy. We asked 3 Doors Down, who were good friends of Creed if they learned anything from the negative experiences that went on in that band.

“Definitely.” “Most definitely. You see how one guy can really mess something up because the rest of that band, they’re all such great guys. [Guitarist Mark] Tremonti and [singer] Myles [Kennedy] came up on stage and played ‘Live For Today’ with us actually a couple of times. It was killer. But Scott, man. He just ruined that band with his attitude. It just shows what can happen.”

Stapp has been known to get into it with other rockers. He and Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst had a spat, and currently Stapp is challenging Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl.

Meanwhile, 3 Doors Down added that they’re too far beyond any internal politics because they’ve all known each other since they were kids.
