Creed Speed

I guess I have too much time on my hands lol but I have a great Metronome app called "Beats" & I compared speeds from 'Creed Live' to their original tempos on the albums... one thing I found out which I never really knew is that it sounds like the guys never used a click track on the albums at all (so it seems) most songs were never a consistent tempo, they usually sped up in the chorus' and slowed down in the verses etc. (same way live) So anyway here are the "BPM" or Beats Per Minute for each song, again these are rough estimates...

Bullets:

Album: 243bpm
Live: 282bpm

Overcome:


Album: 195bpm
Live: 214bpm

My Own Prison:

Album: 140bpm
Live: 155bpm

Say I:

Album: 155bpm
Live: 172bpm

Never Die:

Album: 176bpm
Live: 204bpm

Torn:

Album: 145bpm
Live: 160bpm

A Thousand Faces:

Album: 150bpm
Live: 160bpm

What If:

Album: 149bpm
Live: 165bpm

Unforgiven:

Album: 240bpm
Live: 277bpm

Are You Ready:

Album: 145bpm
Live: 164bpm

What's This Life For:

Album: 142bpm
Live: 152bpm

Faceless Man:

Album: 140bpm
Live: 152bpm

With Arms Wide Open:


Album: 140bpm
Live: 150bpm

My Sacrifice:

Album: 146bpm
Live: 163bpm

One:

Album: 111bpm
Live: 122bpm

One Last Breath:

Album: 128bpm
Live: 138bpm

Higher:

Album: 155bpm
Live: 165bpm

For those who don't really know much about a metronome or bpm... it doesn't shift too much unless you bump it up or down around 5 or so... which means the guys are playing each song almost 2X to 7X faster than they originally recorded it (& used to play it live) lol Unforgiven probably had the biggest gap in speed which is seriously ridiculous. Anyway I thought it was interesting... I just hope to God they slow down ASAP.

Re: Creed Speed

If they were playing it 2X faster each song would be in the 200's and 7X would be in the 700 bpm range. Its obvious Mark is playing a little faster but not by that much lol.

Re: Creed Speed

I was going by the 5bpm increments that I was referring to... if you take "A Thousand Faces" for instance (10bpm apart) the live version would be twice as fast as the album version.

Re: Creed Speed

If they slowed it down Stapp would probably be able to perform better.

Re: Creed Speed
