Creed: "Overcome" Acoustic (Stripped)

[robdadjoe]

There's nothing wrong with his voice. The 'acoustic',or 'stripped', is different from the 'live on stage' voice. Listen before you judge.

[Footsmellersbf]

who the guy singing backup?

[Kudblythe3]

@Footsmellersbf yea i have only ssen him on the live and acoustic stuff after full circle. and he is not listed as a member on the site.

[Kudblythe3]

@Footsmellersbf that is Eric Friedman. he isnt an actual member, onlt a touring member. he is the guitarist for the band hemme.

[Sprocket2112]

back vocals are amazing.



[MetalFreak2000]

I don't care what anyone says these guys will always be one of my favorite bands. I grew up listening to this band, memorizing every song word for word. They're music is great and it always will be. I'm glad I finally got to see them live on their reunion tour and with Staind made it even better.

[westsidegrga]

back vocal is great. that touring guitarist

[TheStaringEnemy]

Why does everyone bitch about Scott's voice? Scott has a one-of-a-kind voice, and it goes great with their style of music.

[Overwatch93]

Hopefully Scotts voice will sound better by the time the new album gets out! :)

[egghead399]

love creed, always will, but scotts voice is not as good as it used to be.

[ralfaswad]

Stop comparing thy're both great bands and great and different Frontmen... different style and different voice-types.....



[zackomac]

I'm not even going to lie, 100% of the reason I look up Creed videos is because they are funny as hell and me and all of my friends sit around and laugh about them. Not because of the musicians, because of that idiot with the marbles in his mouth holding the microphone

[BLovesV123]

This song is a masterpiece, it's better than some AB songs, but let's be real Myles is a better singer than Scott. :D

[Dolorosakil]

@BLovesV123 I prefer everything about Creed, but each to their own.

[bornintexas54]

I fucken love this song

[tsw915]

The dirty look Flip shoots Scott at 2:04 is priceless. He doesn't even like the sound of his voice.

[lonato66]

@tsw915 you are a dick..



[DLR1274]

@tsw915 wot the fuck r u on?

[ssilikemarijuana]

2:18 looks like shawn micheals lol

[ExiledKraken]

I don't understand why so many people hate Creed so much. They're a great band.

[lucacas123456]

@ExiledKraken

[marknlinda1216]

@ExiledKraken It's because they don't sing about garbage.

[csmzcs]

@ExiledKraken Come on, man. Listen to the singer... this is so forced. He's not an honest musician.

[robdadjoe]

@csmzcs Take into consideration the venue and the power of the song. He's trying to restrain the raw emotion and power, but still conveying what it is.

[neuro08]

@wave1board2

Hey man, the other guitarist is a guy named Eric Friedman. He is actually the lead guitarist and does backing vocals for a band called Submersed (which I highly recommend checking out, particularly "To Peace", "In Due Time", "You Run", & Unconcerned). He is going to be backing vocals and shredding on Tremonti's new solo album, which obviously is gonna kick major ass. Rock on dude. \m/ \m/

[wave1board2]

This is cool. Who is the second guitarist? He has a great voice.

[patdel12]

used to be one of my favourite bands, i have all of their albums! but listening to this is unbearable.. sounds like he's singing with something up his arse

[ScullyboyDX]

Creed, AB, they both kick ass, same band just different lead Singer. Stapp and Kennedy both are badasses, i cant see how you would like one and not the other?

[SilentServiceCode]

god his voice is fucking annoying

[IIGAMEZIIFREAKII]

@SilentServiceCode Its a better voice than any band you lisen to!

[Boss302]

@SilentServiceCode if you dont like his voice than why are you listening to it

[lucacas123456]

100 : 100

[lucacas123456]

listen to him sing at 3:26 through 3:33 he sings amazing

[MrXKaine]

I listen to this song everyday gives me an eargasm

[Crosser080614]

IHeart Creed!! xD

[russellmeyler]

Awesome vocals on the bridge, nice bit of attitude.

[colosalguitarist]

waw his voice has come back!..i think he was just really nervouse tbh..and had very little self confidence

[drumluver16]

he sounds so much better when he isnt screaming into a mic...

[trowland65]

awesome with a killer groove B)

[WolverhampBand]

Fuckin AMAZING, BRAZIL WAITS!!!

[0788steven]

Lord all things holy, I wish I had a voice like this, I can't even belt out a tune! Gotta say I'm jealous and intrigued... His voice is flippin' awesome!

[TheTadosa1]

Der Mann ist der Oberhammer und massiv lecker.... geil halt.... ich liebe Scott Stapp.....

[scbikerdude]

I think these guys sound really good acoustic. I never really listened to them much, but I like this "stripped" stuff. And I'll look up Alterbridge, too. Cant have too many, can you?

[box10rox]

The little troll haters are making me laugh with how hard they are trying

to go on any high views Creed videos just to say lame crap.

Your attempts to spread bs on youtube is useless. Mass amounts of

people love Creed and your bs will never change that fact.

[hvymtl8089]

@box10rox I love Creed and Alter Bridge both and it is impossible for me to decide who I like better, because every time I think I like one of them better I go back and listen to the other and say no way. I really hate it when people hate on Creed now because of Stapp causing their break up. Creed breaking up is the greatest thing that could have happened to them, because we got Alter Bridge and an amazing Creed reunion out of it. And when it comes down to it, Creed has a much larger fanbase.

[bret1892]

give the backing vocals some credit! very quality

[MrRolignu]

Eric friedman rocks

[lyndoma12]

Its amazing the banter on this. I love Creed and Scott's voice and I love AB and Myles too. Its obvious that Scotts voice is not what is was for whatever reason that is. It def was a big voice back in the day. It does piss me off to see people knocing Scott all the time, he must have been an asshole? But my question is these guys must have watched this in the first place to then give their opinion! SO WHY?

[xtcogx]

He's good at what he does because of how low he can make his voice go

[vanessinhapvh19]

Scott, canta perfeitamente... nao tem como reclamar...

[Ruddteen]

that was tight !!!

[CarlosPringle]

Creed still inspires me... Spent most of 99 to 05 growing up with

em... lol. In my opinion though, "My Own Prison" is their best album to date. Props to Scott and his shaved head >_<!

[sergeantarodprn]

It's amazing how many people trash Scott!; for anyone that claims to have heard better in some other group or you yourself can sing better most probably have hearing issues because Scott is amazing...His frequency can be heard with my ears...I suggest getting cue-tips, Wax buildup inside your ears can alter what you hear and if your ears are cleared, you may need to get a hearing test done. Not everyone hears the same thing...

[LPHJHGuitar]

Scott's voice blends well with Erics :)

[petrk195]

Seriously, everybody who has ever sung in a band can tell Scott's vocal chords are not ok. It is clearly painful for him, hisses, struggles when should add power to hit high notes. He is not singing like that just becase it's acoustic version. Don't get me wrong, i like creed. But i got sore throat just listening to this.

[gabrielPR87]

gostei =@

[rensroodje]

i think that scott lost his power. but he tries to sing it with soul now

[tracecraver33]

@rensroodje i agree, but i just think his voice matured because of the loss of it. do you understand?

[apheus27]

Eric did a phenomenal job here. His back-up vocals outshone Scott's on this one.

[j800r]

@apheus27 Because he has a higher voice? o.0

LMAO, man, you're shallow if you think a good voice is about hitting high notes.

[apheus27]

@j800r And you're an idiot if you think that's the reason I said that.

[j800r]

@apheus27 There's no other reason. There's nothing else to go on. He sings a couple of lines. Sustains a few notes. Wow. Not really much to judge a singing voice with.

[TheOriginalGayman]

the second guitarist has a great voice!

[benavidez66]

its sang differently because its acoustic, its all about the feeling, get it?

[MAYERaddict]

@ChrisPhillips2377 :

Artists normally do this in acoustic versions to safe their voice for shows with a bigger audience. :)

and it sounds much more decent with the intruments being acoustic ... i hope this could help!

[MAYERaddict]

god! amazing acoustic version!

creed ftw!

[aphtasam]

Scott Stapp's voice can cut through metal effortlessly!!!!!!!!!!

[Riemeyer64]

awesome voice

[hero7D]

fuck yeah raw reall live 100% CREED

[XZiBbeezt]

I be damned fighting you.. you're impossible.. impossible... ( you stupid, stupid bitch)

[ChrisPhillips2377]

i really like this song, but i dont understand why Scott always sings an octave lower than he sings on the album. My opinion is that if you can sing a note on the cd, you need to be able to hit the note live. And theres nothing wrong with the way hes singing it here, and it sounds good. but its not the same as it is on cd.

[XZiBbeezt]

@ChrisPhillips2377 I guess its just his way of doing accoustics :o 

[j800r]

@ChrisPhillips2377 Ok. For starters, an album is recorded over a long period of time. It's not recorded in one, long, live session. The vocalist has plenty of time to rest their voice and is therefore able to give everything they've got to a single song. Live, a vocalist is often touring. Singing long sets of songs one after the other often several nights running. If they put exactly the same into every song as was on the album night after night they'd destroy their voice.

[betoo035]

foda demais viva o rock

[Str8EdgeDude]

Who cares they are both fucking badass bands!

[pusssykatt1]

His voice is just incredible...

[drumaboi348]

jesus his arms are bigger then my head

[taticreed]

Amei.Td divino

[Mendes2229]

No doubt very good!

[bickettryan]

So instead of singing more in line with his natural speaking voice for the more intimate acoustic setting, he goes in the opposite direction, making his voice sound like a caricature of itself. It sounds pretty ridiculous to me.

[TBTbitter]

@bickettryan I don't know why should he do that. It's a technique (pretty used in country music, by the way.) and it's his way to sing, to show what the song's about. I love it, even if it sounds a little bit rude and forced. That's what makes him different, in my point of view ;)

[atrickpay11]

i heart jagermeister...wtf lol? guess he likes getting drunk a lot!

[j800r]

guys, if you don't like Creed or you prefer AB then please keep it to yourself. This is a CREED video, NOT AlterBridge. so please quit the damn trolling. Scott is a gifted vocalist and incredible lyricist. Myles is also good at what he does. If you prefer one that's fine, but don't go calling the other one shit.

[machine611]

@j800r aren't you trolling your love of creed? this is a public forum, not your personal scott stapp alter....bridge.

[mrclayton2086]

@j800r well said bud

[hsfightclub]

@j800r thank you

[lankydude1000]

@j800r well said mate, personally i prefer alter bridge but think that myles and Scott are both brilliant vocalists :)

[squikiermidget]

now why cant stapp sing this good with the electric guitars and drums and shit haha

[j800r]

@squikiermidget he can. what you have to remember, is this is unplugged, so he's not having to sing with as much power, plus the set would've been way shorter. live, all vocalists have good and bad days. on a good day Stapp is incredible.

[simonkurtbass]

Awesome video! The bass just sounds terrific... And Friedman is just a top vocalist. ^_^/

[StappBabe]

WOOO! "I may be crazy but I'm buried in your memory!" I love this!!! \m/

[patpabst]

@386LV if not for him there would not be a creed... hmm... i hardly see how that's a bad scenario... and i'm pretty sure that tremonti and the boys would have been playing music regardless of who their frontman would be. i'm sure there's less circle jerking goin on in alter bridge than in creed...

[ryanx84]

Eric Friedman steals this song - but still outstanding - Love creed and SO GLAD they'r back :)

[bethonico1]

FIKO MT MAIS HOMEM SEM O CABELO COMPRIDO ! DOIDO DE MAIS ESSA BANDA !

[shaunbdouglass]

Whos this person singing with Alter Bridge? HA. naaah, I'm a fan of both Creed and Alter Bridge, but I think Alter Bridge just sound alot more honest, I like AB better than any band out there today.

[azumpire]

Brilliant!!!! And way to go Eric on the background vocals!!

[xAUBERNN]

i heart jägermeister xDDD <333

[CHRISTSmusiciansSEA]

2011 IT IS TIME CREED 2012 *

BLESS GOD, TEACH YOUTH, SING THE VISION... 2013

[j800r]

thumbs up if you think Scott Stapp looks badass with a shaved head

[braveUSsoldier]

@j800r LOL I think so 2.The first time I saw Scott Stapp was b/c of that dvd dat came with the FullCircle album.I was more into Alterbridge so I didnt really bother looking up Creed back then.I didnt knew what Scott look like or who he was.Then one day, my friend showed me a few of their songs.Thats when I opened my eyes and relized that Creed was amazing.So 2-3 years later i buy Full CIrcle and loved it.Later I check some of their old vids & I was like OMG is dat Scott Stapp w/ the long hair?

[j800r]

@braveUSsoldier ya, i like both Creed AND Alterbridge but prefer Creed. I also prefer the tone of Scott's voice (when he's on form)

[386LV]

@j800r I do agree I like both Alterbrdige and Creed, but Stapp's deep soulful baritone voice is the reason I like Creed alot better. Though I am proud of the rest of th band for keeping both bands going. Stapp's voice has actually gotten alot better (close to 99) in 2010 compared to 09. I guess he must have quit smoking.

[patpabst]

@386LV you realize that voice has been done better before right? there once was a man named Eddie Vedder. oh wait, he's still around doin it better. Best part about Stapp was when he was a drunk lush all the time, especially when i saw them live, and his fat belly was hangin over his leather pants... oh yes, and when he bent down to do some "look at me-ah... scott stapp-yuh" he split them up the ass, exposing his majestic tighty whiteys. that was gold!

[386LV]

@braveUSsoldier Yeah Scott Stapp was kick ass back in the day when he had the long hair. I think he should have kept it, but I guess he's getting a little older so he might have out out grown it. I can't believe you never heard of Creed until just recently especially when their Himan Clay LP 1999-2000 was released that was all everyone was talking about, 11 million copies sold in the U.S alone, you must be under the age of 21.

[DatGuy3638]

@braveUSsoldier Awesome story

[emtildeath]

@waylinvanhalen put your money where your mouth is then big boy. Make a video and post it :-)

[patpabst]

he looks like he's trying really really hard. best part about creed is everyone but stapp. just sayin...

[emtildeath]

@patpabst Fuck off without Scott Stapp, Creed would not be :-)

[jhencluff]

@patpabst his face may not be the best but his voice is.

[mackod2msn]

The guy backgrround singing definatly makes this song, also looks like Scotts been hitting the gym the last few years.

[phitroaniac]

F***ing genius

[CmnDmn]

i guess Tremonti doesn't heart anything lol

[yhwhwarrior777]

ok....i used 2 absolutely love creed. still bought there latest album, but i really think Tremonti writes better stuff with Alterbridge. to be honest i wasn't really impressed with Full Circle. There's a few good songs on it but yeah.... and i hate the fact that Scott can only seem 2 sing in the studio!!!! he just doesn't cut it live these days..... And before anyone say's anything......... this is MY opinion and if u don't agree i don't really care!!! :-)

[christopherfullam]

@yhwhwarrior777 I don't think many will argue about Scott's voice these days. I'm a fan, and always thought he had a great voice, but it's just not the same now. You can even hear it when he talks...he's very hoarse.

[TheDevilguy676]

Lol. I thought the backing vocals was Myle's Kennedy lol

[codirowe4548]

@TheDevilguy676 *slap* lol

[Cambo212]

THAT WAS SIMPLY AWESOME THEY STILL HAVE IT...MAYBE EVEN BETTER THAN BEFORE

[zzzzzushi]

he loves his kids and wife. I <3 Radio too. i have that app. love this song

[darkfire2121]

this is the shit

[darkfire2121]

this is the f**king shit!!!

[aloys69]

is it me or stapp sings far under the notes he could take on "one last breath" for example

[kenzy6666]

@TheRevolver89 no im not i mean there so big, his singing used to make hard dude i and ik it did you

[kenzy6666]

im not gay but damn those biceps stapp has makes me hard!!!!

[liggybee]

It's great to see Scott proudly proclaim his love for his family these days...great turnaround from the recklessness of his past.

[386LV]

@liggybee Scott was always about is family and his love for God (listen to the lyrics of his songs) he just hit a brick road back in 02.

[mamahnita]

look so weird with out the hair man WoW

[ColexSkatesx]

i love how all of them can sing. it just makes the band even better.

[opensinner777666]

did he make a mistake in the 2nd verse?

[kenzy6666]

@opensinner777666 he couldnt hit the high notes right i think he was tryin to get a breath before he did a high note

[LookAtMeImVip]

I ♥  Creed !

[TNA796]

two words ACOUSTIC TOUR

[tsblair95]

creed is the best band ever. but scott sucks now compared to the old creed songs...

[simeon58]

He puts so much emotion in his performances. He can barely stay seated when he sings. His voice is SO much deeper now, too.

[jeffdc06]

Eric Friedman has a great voice too, it compliments with the lead vocals,

[nfarnham2008]

did he purposely get so deep in his range?

[Kashisall]

amazing song writers

[kenzy6666]

i heart this one even though stapp wasnt good enough but he can do better than me

[spreadthepanicful]

i think mark should have ripped it up on the acoustic, he nos he can!!!

[heartzzz100]

okay so who the hell is the guy singin the back up vocals???? he is AMAZING i love his voice! can someone please tell me who he is.

[JaredWardBur]

@heartzzz100 Eric Friedman (Submersed/Daughters of Mara)

[LUVASIANGIRLS]

@JaredWardBur submersed...soooo under rated. wish they were around still.

[N2WGW]

@JaredWardBur he sings better than scott!!!

[TheInvasionPlan]

@JaredWardBur Holy fuck are you serious? I didn't know that was him. Daughters of Mara kicked ass. Sucks they didn't get a proper release for their cd.

[madnessinthesoul]

@JaredWardBur Wasn't he originally from Creed?

[garcia1dallas]

@JaredWardBur And now the rhythm guitarists for Amrk Tremonti's upcoming solo project which will be amazing

[AlterEric07]

@heartzzz100 @JaredWardBur Eric Friedman,., hes a former lead guitarist of both bands Submersed and Daughters of Mara and also Hemme. Now the rhythm guitarist of Creed., nice voice!

[dzikiben4]

@heartzzz100 Jesus of Nazareth :D

[j800r]

@heartzzz100 backing vocals, not back up. and tbh i think "amazing" is a tiny overstatement. he's only singing the part Scott sings in the studio.

[blackgun3687]

i could care less about Scot Stapp, but this is a damm good song

[staceyclarkful]

Woot... Creed is the "ONLY" band that plays acustic "VERY VERY GOOD"... Easy on the eyes also... Wow

[WOGNUMBER1GODFOREVER]

@staceyclarkful for sure. but godsmack as some acoustic songs that are also amazing. "voices" and "running blind" totally rock

[bluegil333]

@JaredWardBur yep, i just saw them :)

[fmckenzie10]

feel like i'm at a tribal gathering. soooo spiritual.

[geneperez1]

Awesome Creed performance!

[stigno89]

creed are awesome. Alter Bridge are awesome.

(btw, ppl check out Eric Friedman's - the second guitarists previous band called Submersed, they were fucking amazing)

[Blackbird253]

I'm Myles fan but I'm too a real man

and I have to say that is a very damnco0l perfomance!

Everybody say that "Creed or Alter Bridge" i think those guys can do boths

Myles for the while can work on his solo, with slash and even maybe another band reunion TM4

[zackattack94]

14 idiots missed the like button

[Conz913]

Love it! Scott sounded GREAT!

[PlokiPlokiPlokz]

i'm a creed and scott stapp fan, but when i saw alter bridge.... myles kennedy is way better vocalist than scott... videos prove it.. scott needs to sing the way he sings before.. now he can't even sing his high pitched notes..

[deepermizz]

@PlokiPlokiPlokz he ís singing way better now, and he sings almost like he used to;)

[mercychaplet]

I saw Stapp when he was solo, and he was awesome. Creed is awesome. Altarbridge never got any decent airplay. Creed is where the bucks are - and these guys aren't stupid. They have bills to pay, mouths to feed, LOL - and I think they truly write better together. Once they get over their angst with the "apart/back-together-agaij" be lovely to see what they come up with... Yay!

[HonouredAssassin]

Lmao, stapp does not sing like that live, he is rather horrid.(Before all you major Creed fan's get butthurt, I really like Creed, just think stapp sucks live)

Not a great song converted to acoustic too.

[Axegjustin322]

why does stapp have to sing like he has marbles in his mouth? He used to not.. Anyway theyre still epic.. no one like them

[cooboxlinux]

I LOVE YOU GUYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[tmpc45]

@JaredWardBur The money is in Creed.. love both bands. Saw them last year at Fiddlers Green in Denver with Greet and meet passes.. Great concert and guys.

[metallifreak100]

@X98Wolf yea there is cause i got tickets to see creed august 15th in chicago

[MysteriousWonders]

mark hearts guitar lol

[bobafett9ownz85]

i got tickets to see Creed in august!!!!

same with Disturbed!!!!!

Creed forevar!!!

Thumbs up if you agree!!!

:)

[lohengram90]

I Heart Creed

[Tangram92]

I ♥ Creed..

I ♥♥♥ it..<3

[jacsmith17]

dude this song is awesome. And it's a great rendition for an acoustic performance as well. creed pwns. Everyone thinks Alter Bridge is better tho. Alter Bridge is alright, but they will never have the magic/emotion of creed. Even though Tremonti did alot more complex and insane guitar work in Alter Bridge, he always sounds much better in creed. Sometimes less is more.

[loco7283]

i love this song!!

love both bands Creed and Alter Bridge.



[battlefield2013]

creed is one of the most kickass bands of this generation..like this if u think its true

[mathfife]

@battlefield2013 you are the truest form of an idiot for having said this. You have to be a marine, right?

[battlefield2013]

@mathfife no creed may not be a hardcore band but i think they are one of the greatest of all time man
