Creed's Scott Stapp Joins New Band (And It's Not Stone Temple Pilots)
Former lead singer of pop band Creed and born-again Christian, Scott Stapp has announced that he's joining a new band but it's not the Stone Temple Pilots (STP). Earlier, there was a rumor that Stapp would be joining STP, but the Creed frontman/solo artist has denied such a rumor.
On Facebook, Stapp writes: "I wanted to clarify any confusions on STP and my comment. First off, Scott Weiland in STP is irreplaceable. I was recently asked what I'm currently working on in an interview and could not reveal details or announce this new project. This led the interviewer to assume it was STP and he eagerly kept asking for more details. Evidently my response caused confusion.
I'm excited to share I've been working with Art Of Anarchy band whose members are Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, formerly of Guns N Roses, John Moyer of Disturbed and Jon and Vince Votta. Original announcement was slated for July along with our first single and album to follow but happy to share this announcement sooner to clarify.
Art Of Anarchy is the project that I was referring to in the interview not STP. Scott Weiland was a part of Art of Anarchy and that's the six degrees of separation I was referring to. Always been a fan of STP and I wish them all the best in their search for a new singer."
The hard rock supergroup released a self-titled debut album in June 2015, though the late Weiland downplayed his role in the band (despite singing on the LP) and publicly denounced the project before it hit stores. The band also features former Guns N' Roses guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, Disturbed bassist John Moyer and Jon and Vince Votta. They haven't specified their musical plans, but they'll get a fresh start with Stapp in the fold.
In a conversation with CT, Stapp came right out and said, "I am a Christian." In 2013, Stapp released Proof of Life, where he chronicles his struggles and faith. It was Stapp's first new material since the release of his 2012 uncensored memoir, Sinner's Creed, which Stapp shared his life story for the first time. "This is the most meaningful record of my career," says Stapp. "I've made a lot of messes in my life but I've learned I can take a mess and turn it into a message. This album chronicles my struggles, my journey and it's the most honest record I have ever written". The album was produced by Howard Benson and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge.
