I gotta admit, I did laugh when I read that...although it may have been a bit out of place here. Definitely agree. I have listened to some bootlegs from '98 and '99, and he sounded fantastic. I mean, his voice was exactly the same as on the album. You really couldn't tell a difference. Now, comparing that to the live stuff I've heard post-Human Clay, his voice has definitely changed....and not in a positive way. His voice cracks at times, and he doesn't seem able to replicate what is heard on the album live. Hopefully he can regain the kind of range he had back in '98/'99.

Indeed, he had a lot of trouble just hitting the notes. On some of the boots I have, he's downright flat. I miss that range from the old days. It seemed effortless back then. He's still young enough to repair the damage, I think.

He is. It's unbelievable that he's still only 32. If guys like Cornell and Kennedy can sound great when they're approaching 40(or are over 40, in Cornell's case) then guys that are only in their early 30s can sound good again as well. Yes, a lot of damage was done during the Weathered tour. But Stapp still has the chance to reverse that damage. It'll be interesting to see if he does. I hope and pray that when I see Stapp live in concert(and hopefully that'll be next fall, lol) he'll sound as good as he did on the HC bootlegs.

he'll need vocal coaches and such to help reverse that damage though...i don't think he has any at the moment.

He should get some coaches then. I know if I were in his position, I'd put my pride aside and get some vocal help in the hopes of getting back to my prime.

I doubt he will... unless his album sales flunks dramatically...

Yup, he needs one for sure. Hell, even James Hetfield's done the voice-coach thing. It works.

If anything I waste my fingers. lol True. I then vocie my disagreement. Bashing? I don't call what I did bashing, any more than saying Mark Tremonti is a terrible songwriter in the AB forum. Which I have done, time and again. Sorry if I offended. If they have a reasonable argument I don't mind. Did I say I expected that? No but it might help you vent a bit ;-)

I think his CD has the potential to be huge, but only if a few things happen: he gets good radio/tv play; he gets good promotion from wind-up; he gets enough favorable reviews. I've predicted him to sell 200,000-400,000 in the first week, and I stick by that. But I realize a few things will need to fall in place in order for that to happen.

I've read interviews where Tremonti stated how disappointed he was when they had to cancel shows. I'm saying Hanson knew as well as the other members of Creed what was going on. They just wanted that tour to go on as long as it possibly could, so they could keep that money rolling in. Didn't matter that it might possibly end Stapp's career. The fact that Stapp did like he was told, by whoever's job it was to tell him what to do, only to have his bandmates stab him in the back after the band broke up, speaks volumes to me about what kind of people they are. But hey, that's just my opinion. I'm sure you won't agree. I hope Mark Tremonti never breaks a finger or anything that would affect his ability to play. He might find out what its like to have people you thought of like your family turn on him. |

I don't think the fact that it leaked so soon will make much of a difference. I mean, most of the people who have gotten a hold of it so far are going to buy it anyway because most of them are Stapp fans. If someone likes an album, chances are they will buy it. I think the leak could help more than it harms. What'll make or break the CD's success is the promotion, imo. If he gets good promotion, good airplay and makes some appearances(on various morning/late night shows) then it'll sell well.
