Creed to Reunite in 2009

I was thinking blink 182 would get back together before these guys would, but here we go...

As first tipped last month, Creed is hammering out details for a lucrative 2009 reunion tour, sources tell Billboard. The Scott Stapp-led group, which was one of the top sellers of the past decade, has not performed since a rancorous split in June 2004.

Stapp promptly embarked on a solo career, while guitarist Mark Tremonti, drummer Scott Phillips and original bassist Brian Marshall formed Alter Bridge with vocalist Myles Kennedy and released two albums. The 2004 Wind-Up debut, "One Day Remains," sold 496,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan; a 2006 follow-up for Universal, "Blackbird," has moved 227,000.

However, Kennedy is rumored to be the top contender to replace Robert Plant for a tour with Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones. And following a recent USO tour performing for American servicemen oversees, Stapp is said to be in prime physical and mental condition.

As such, there are "significant dollars" on the table for a Creed trek, according to sources close to the situation, who say an official announcement could be imminent. A spokesperson for Wind-Up tells Billboard, "There have been some talks, but it would be premature to comment on them at this time."

Creed has sold 26.1 million albums in the United States since 1997, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The group was also a significant touring presence, having grossed more than $70.3 million from 220 shows reported to Billboard Boxscore between November 1997 and December 2002.

[Mattman]

Wow, just in time for no one to give a shit.

[Black Roman]

I was afraid this would happen. Alright, someone get my rifle. I've got business to attend to.

[Whip]

I'd be more excited if LFO got back together.

Do you like girls who wear Abercrombie and Fitch?
Does Chinese food make you sick?



Oh God..........................




And Alter Bridge is pretty good, but Creed... meh. I guess if the dude is going with Zep, then perhaps now is the time.

For me to ignore them.

[Ziolko]

No no no, I was just fucking joking! Nickleback doesn't really make me almost long for the days of Creed! It was a joke! No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

[nihilance]

I had no idea they had broken up.

Hey, Alter Bridge is responsible for Edge's rippin' entrance music. Which is probably the most notable thing they ever did.
