All right dude, whatever helps you sleep at night. If you really need to delude yourself into thinking they're metal, in order to feel secure about listening to them. Be my guest. But Creed is not metal. Nobody was debating you because these forums probably only have around 11 posters that visit this site regularly. That hardly proves your point, especially since you have nothing to back-up your statement.
If you were to show me proof of them being metal, somehow, than you might have an argument. But at this point you're just a raging fanboy. I actually dont even care what their classified as. I don't even care if people label them as christian. It doesnt bother me. It's you, badisabella. You have me intrigued.
