Creed and Alice In Chains
 

I know that that we all know that Creed has been compared to Pearl Jam multiple times. But I recently also read that some people think that Creed took some things from Alice In Chains (no, I'm not confusing this with the Alice In Chains/Godsmack controversy). I think that this is somewhat of a strange comparison, although there are a few similarities, namely, between Stapp and Staley's voice. That being said, I don't think that Creed directly ripped anything off of AIC, like I don't think that they ripped off anything from Pearl Jam.

:) our we going find anymore creed comparisons this week my friend i tell anoter was marliyn manson i wonder how many manson fan was converted :) to creed before they became ingraved legions of manson haaaaaaaaaa im surprised you have not brought up R.E.M.

Re: Creed and Alice In Chains
 

Stapp is baritone. Staley is tenor. They don't sound alike at all IMHO.

Re: Creed and Alice In Chains
 

yep my point excaltey from a certian point of view

Re: Creed and Alice In Chains
 

Staley and Stapp sound nothing alike to me.

Re: Creed and Alice In Chains
 

no comparison.. both awesome groups and singers .. one dark the other always sending a positive message... gotta love em both ...

Re: Creed and Alice In Chains
 

I have to agree with this entirely. Being a lead singer of a band that covers both creed and AIC, i have to say that singing one is a completely different story from singing the other. Now, when im singing Pearl Jam or STP, sometimes i catch myself reverting to my Creed sound basically because they are somewhat similar.

Stapp has a grunge voice much like vedder and weiland, but there are still a lot of differences.

Vedder for instance has a constant wavering sound in his voice, he does a vibrato that stapp doesnt do, and he also does a lot of Falsettos, or false high notes.

Weiland does more nasal/gutteral sounds with his voice than stapp and vedder.

Layne Staley on the other hand, is very high and nasal throughout most of his singing, and when he goes low, its a shallow low that comes from the chest, and not the gut.

Don't know how good of a comparison that is, but its a basic projection on how i feel when i sing the songs.

Re: Creed and Alice In Chains
 

That's a cool perspective, and an accurate one, I think.

Re: Creed and Alice In Chains
 

i do agree and thats about the accurate opion i,ve heared in while

Re: Creed and Alice In Chains
 

Thank you, i guess i am good for an accurate opinion every now and then! lol

Re: Creed and Alice In Chains
 

lol, haaaa yes indeed in such a rare found now of days in just about everything and you are very much welcome

Re: Creed and Alice In Chains
 

excuse me i meant rare find not rare found HAAAAAAA and its a rare find to correct your post :D and save somebody else the pleasure of doing it for you

Re: Creed and Alice In Chains
 

Btw - it would be interesting if Stapp for example joined Alice In Chains instead of DuVall...
Sorry for my english. Hope you understand it :)

Re: Creed and Alice In Chains
 

Your English seems just fine. I can't see Stapp with AIC. He doesn't have the range to pound out the higher stuff by Layne. DuVall is a better vocalist, imho.

Re: Creed and Alice In Chains
 

yeah thats true.. dogstar...... aic is to dark for stapp anyway you know.... i am more pissed at the fact they still go on as alice in chains.. the day layne died alice died too.. wtf??? you cant ever replace a layne in my opinion...

Re: Creed and Alice In Chains
 

No, he never can be replaced, but I'm with the camp that believes three out of the four members should get to play the music they helped create, especially Jerry. He wrote lyrics and music for many of the AIC songs. And William DuVall doesn't try to be Layne. He's got the pipes to sing that stuff, and he's done an excellent job. I saw them 11 times during the last tour and I loved every minute. I may be biased, given that I adore William's other band, Comes With The Fall, but still, if he didn't have the pipes to pull it off, I'd say so.

Re: Creed and Alice In Chains
 

good observation..... i havent seen them yet... would not mind though..... hopefully soon theyll come out to california

Re: Creed and Alice In Chains
 

I would go again in a heartbeat. They are supposedly working on an album with William doing the vocals, so it could be quite interesting.
