I think that Creed's singer is a definite Vedder wannabe. But other than
that, the music sounds nothing like Pearl Jam. I just can't picture PJ
singing those types of songs..
just my thoughts

nothing
nope. they sound nothing like pearl jam. maybe days of the new, but
not creed.
PerlJamHed
this is me again, yeah i dont think that creeds music is similiar, but mainly
its the voice that does it. Also, in the video the guys got old-eddie hair and
it looks like hes doing an impression.
The singer from days of the new's voice kind of does an eddie thing too, its
annoying.

As for the biggest pearl jam wannabe, i would hafta say the Nixons. they are
kinda old but damn they sound a lot like pearl jam, not half as good but
similar...

no way'
nothing
i've noticed that as well. more their first than second album, though.
X HatreD
heh, you know what? i never even knew that they had a second album, all i know
of is Foma...oh well, they are good anyways...

Ah, true...but the most famous of ALL Pearl Jam wannabes has to be:
Stone Temple Pilots->before their third album.

Like I said before, he holds the fuckin' mic like Eddie...

yeah but see i think that was when they were good ~ after STP stopped trying to
be PJ, they started to suck. Either that is the reason or maybe its that
weiland just got SO fucked up on drugs that it started to affect the music. I
recently saw weiland perform solo at a multi-act event and he is just SO fucked
up man. I liked STP alot but he was just bad. I think i yelled out sometghing
like "go back to rehab", well what do ya know, the very next day he was
arrested for buying herion in NYC.

SO?!?!? what if the singer from metallica started holding the mick like
eddie?!?!? HUH?!? would they then be a pearl jam rip off?!? DAMN!!!
I get tired sometimes of these gross generalizations saying that one is
better than the other or they are trying to be like them. give it a
fucking rest!! enjoy the music you enjoy, stop trying to rain on other
peoples parades!!!!

er..mike. I suppose that if james hetfield stared holding mike, we'd
all start wondering! j/k
the saint
er...cal me stupid. it's 2 am, and you want me to think?!? geez...you
all want too much out of me. what I am trying to say is that he's
holding the mike, not the mick. and the holding mike thing was a stupid
joke caused by being really tired. so sue me.

than a lot of us with your long ass essay there. Alls I gotta say is
this: Pearl Jam good, and Creed...well... just my humble opinion but I
think you're right, they're not quite there yet.
Make people use their own brain, and let them.
the saint
eh, i was tired. but, you're right. if people'd just use their brains,
everyone would get along. or something like that.

I didn't say that Creed is a Pearl Jam wannabe. I said that the singer
(Scott Stapp) sings in a Vedder-like voice. His voice sounds forced, like
he is TRYING to sound like Eddie. Just listen to the Creed album!!
Anyway.. Who cares?? I happen to like the Creed album a lot. Musically,
they are nothing like PJ. These are two totally different bands, that sing
totally different types of music.

I guess I see what you mean and i also like the creed album a hell of a lot
GameBoyGo
Houston Chronicle wrote a report on the Buzz Festival where Creed played with a
host of other bands. The writer wrote that Creed's sound is distinctively
similar to PJ. Coming from a writer who writes on most Houston concerts, I
would have to agree with his argument. Just my word, Thanks!!
Super Dave
Pearl Jam is a Pearl Jam wanna-be OR Creed is a Pearl Jam wanna-be?

James Lentz
adage goes, two PJ's are better than one. The truth is, Creed will never be
as good as PJ.

called the Nixons, is the biggest PJ wannabe. The only song I ever heard on
the radio was "Sister", but the rest of the CD sounds just like PJ. Hey, but
I agree with James, two PJs are better than one.

hope that they were dead all the thime, they also should stop sounding like AIC
and PJ because t brings the value of those two bands down.

doesn't sound like PJ, they are too gloomy and hateful.

I dig the Nixons. I've seen them about a half a dozen times in Dallas
and College Station. Just leave them alone and let them continue to
make good music. So they have a PJish sound to them, who cares? There
are a lot of bands that sound the same. If you don't like them, just
don't listen to them.

What the hell is that supposed to mean? Do you own stock it either of those
bands? What? Maybe the cash you've been forking over for those $40 bootlegs down
at your local CD shop isn't going to double for you because there is another band
out there that sounds somewhat similiar to a band that sounds similiar to dozens of
bands before it? Well I've got news for you buddy! The value you place on a band
is one that you determine of your own accord. It doesn't have anything to do with
record sales, charts, or who's got the newest, most original (bizarre) sound. It
has to do with which bands make songs that you can relate to or make you feel
something new (or forgotten).
If someone can listed to Creed and it awakens something in them, then more power to
them. If it doesn't do that for you, why do you feel threatened that they sound so
much like a band that (presumably) does?
Besides with all these mp3's and CD burners and DVD recorders and home MP3 players
on the way, boots are going to be way too plentiful to be of any value anyway...

I mean more people listen to bands like Creed and then bands like PJ and AIC
get forgotten and their talent is not as special if everybody tries to copy
them.
John S.
Ben White
because Oasis sings like the Beatles, then the Beatles talent is not as
special? Do you mean original? Just because Creed uses a PJ influence (as do
the Nixons, they are a main PJ wanna-be), doen't mean that PJ's talent is
any less! It's not like you can copyright a sound that you have so no other
bands can use it, bands are always influenced by each other. And I sincerely
doubt that PJ will be forgotten as people listen to Creed. More than likely
it will be the other way around, see if Creed is still around in few years,
while PJ is on another tour.....
