Scott's Vocal Problems (Explained)

Firstly let me say I respect Scott Stapp now more then ever and as much as people have argued back & forth about his vocals it's apparent there's something up. If you want to flame me go ahead but I think the fans deserve an explanation and I think I've finally found one.

I got several comments on the MyContent ERock video on my Youtube channel (now removed), one of which was a guy saying he didn't really like how his voice blended with Scott's (fair enough) I took that as ragging on Eric, so he messaged me explaining the comments & come to find out he's a close friend of the guys. I replied with what about Scott's voice etc. so here's what he said was going on in the Creed camp... I'm not naming names (sorry) you're just going to have to take my word for it...I for one believe him 100%

"fyi there isn't anything "wrong" with stapp's voice.
For some reason the allergies he has always had, have
become really bad. They think he is ingesting something
his body that is highly hyper allergic to. The minute he is exposed
his airway swells almost double its normal size. And if you can't breathe
you can't sing. You could tell on some songs when he would sound fine
then suddenly nothing seemed to come out.
He got a episode of it very severe the beginning of the tour and then
it would subside, think about mid tour then started again later end of tour.
He also began chain smoking at the same time. going from half a pack to almost 2 packs A DAY ! LMAO bad on his part
Which is why some performances he sounded good and then others off.
They are looking into this all and working with top allergy specialist.
Looks like also going to use natural methods too.
But unless he stops smoking its all only half ass.

All that said, all the guys are proud of stapp for giving his all
while not being able to breathe. He did a damn good job.
They reference the breathing issue in the Creed DVD
If you know anything about this type of allergies, it is complete
misery for those who suffer with it."
