Scott Stapp announced as the new singer for Art of Anarchy

But in Project Mayhem, we have no names.
Narrator: No, listen to me. This is a man and he has a name, and it's Scott Stapp , okay?
Mechanic: Scott Stapp.
Narrator: He is dead now, because of us, all right? You understand that?
[Everyone stares at Narrator]
Mechanic: I understand. In death, a member of Project Mayhem has a name. His name is Scott Stapp.
Steph: His name is Scott Stapp.
Narrator: Stop it! Shut up!
All Space Monkeys: His name is !
All Space Monkeys (louder): His name is Scott Stapp ! His name is Scott Stapp !

Really dig this song, too. Even though Stapp is doing that thing with his voice.

Where did Stapp learn how to pronounce words?

Hey, I like that.

I enjoyed the first song, but this new one didn't do much for me. Maybe it's the return of the "yarl".

Yeah, I can usually take him in small doses. I have a greatest hits of Creed I made I listen to once in awhile, mostly because Tremonti can play.

Well this is an interesting turn of events...

According to SILive.com, Scott Stapp has been sued by the founders of ART OF ANARCHY for allegedly refusing to tour with the band and participate in promotional photo and video shoots and publicity events.

The $1.2-million lawsuit was filed in New York State Supreme Court by Vice Inc., whose chief executive officer and principal executive officer are ART OF ANARCHY guitarist Jonathan Votta and drummer Vincent Votta.

Vice claims to have paid the CREED singer $200,000 for services to be rendered, which he asked to be treated as a loan, for tax purposes.

Stapp only performed at 18 concerts with ART OF ANARCHY last year and did not appear at scheduled a video shoot last October on the deck of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum on the Hudson River in Manhattan.

They need to stop hiring jackasses for front men.

He's such a mess with his mental issues he needs to step out of music.

Dude definitely has troubles...

I love both albums these guys have put out, but they only have themselves to blame. You can't replace a drug-addicted singer with a drug-addicted singer and expect a different outcome. That is monumentally stupid.

They should still hire Mina Caputo.

Why do you want Caputo to leave LOA? I don't think most mainstream bands want a transgender person in their group. Not everyone is on board with that kinda stuff.

Life of Agony doesn't tour much at all. As for the rest of what you said, I don't think most mainstream bands are that homophobic/transphobic.

I read about that , interesting turn of events....

Why would anyone hand Stapp a big bundle of cash and expect him to keep his word?

I doubt anyone will want to work with him again. He got a second chance after his meltdown, and he blew it... 

Not to mention, his solo albums are generic crap like Sebastian Bach's.

It just goes to show you that the singer <> the band.

Bach didn't even write most of SR's hits, did he? I think that was the singer before him.

I think he contributed here and there... but Snake and Bolan were the main guys. They did all work well together while it lasted.

Pretty sure Bach has never written a song in his life.

Bach has a handful of credits on the first 3 Skid Row albums, but I've always got the impression they were "pity credits". He was the Ringo to Sabo and Bolan's Lennon-McCartney.

I really enjoy the first album with Weiland. I wanted to give this 2nd album a chance, despite my dislike of Stapp, but the 2 tunes I heard didn't do much for me.

Yeah, that's my impression too. He's just a singer. So often people assume singers write their own parts. It's best when they do, but it certainly doesn't have to be that way.

I'm pretty sure he did help with writing some of the vocal melodies (a la Ozzy).  

I know he has a credit for the song "Piece of Me".

Lyrics mostly would be my guess.

I'm not a fan of Stapp, either, but I liked how he sounded on this album. It didn't encourage me to buy his solo stuff or any Creed albums, but he sounds good.
