Creed consists of Brett Hestla, Mark Tremonti (guitars, bass), Scott Phillips (drums, keyboards), Scott Stapp (vocals).
Creed was a post-grunge/ hard rock group, that became one of the biggest selling rock bands of the late '90s and early 2000s. While real grunge groups were experimenting with new sounds, Creed adapted grunge into a commercial style, and went with it selling millions of albums. This success did not gain them much critical acclaim however; Creed were slammed for their formulaic sound, and dogged with accusations by critics of being derivative of famed Seattle grunge band Pearl Jam, as some believe Creed lead singer Scott Stapp's vocals sound virtually identical to Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder.
