Amen. It’s hard for Christian bands because so many people consider them “uncool” (I for one think Christian music is cool, but my tastes for a lot of music are picky so I only like the heavier stuff) so they put on a secular type of front. I don’t consider them a Christian band though. How about a band of Christians? I like Creed, and I used to like Limp Bizkit, but that’s just me. But then again, I like Bob Dylan, too. Why can’t we all just be friends?
No, you’re not the only one. I hate Fred Durst and LB with a white hot passion. He’s a punk just like Kid Rock.
I’m glad someone else likes Creed. So they sound like Pearl Jam. Is Scott supposed to disguise his voice just because he sounds like Eddie Vedder?? They write beautiful songs that inspire, not thug crap like LB.
I don’t think he sounds too much like Eddie Vedder. (maybe just a little bit) Yeah, LB is too obnoxious these days, that’s why I stopped listening to them. I do like Creed though. I used to hate them until I heard the song “Higher” on a movie preview for Titan AE. Then it wouldn’t leave my head! My brother bought the cd. Then my friend Paul mentioned them being Christian and I thought, wow, cool.
Welfy, that’s exactly what I thought when I found out they were Christian–cool. I’m not a “practicing” Christian, but I think it’s nice to hear a band that isn’t just trying to sound like tough guys. Creed’s lyrics are unique to what’s going on in music right now and it’s refreshing.
Sorry to hi-jack. Continue the Celebrity Deathmatch.
Right on. 
::running off to change my sig::
I saw that Titan A.E. trailer with “Higher” in it too! It was without a doubt the greatest movie trailer I’ve ever seen! The music matched the visuals so well, it was amazing. I think I posted this elswhere as one of the best things to ever happen to me at the movies. (Hmm. Maybe I need to get a life.) I don’t think that trailer circulated much, why I don’t know. It was better than the movie it advertised.
As to the relative quality of Creed’s music…I have to agree with Dewaholic. Their lyrics ARE inspiring. BUT their music so isn’t. A few hits aside, they sound like a gazillion other post-grunge bands out there. I’ll still listen to them though. At least I know I could sing the lyrics in front of a 6-yr-old girl and not feel embarrassed.
Blech. I had no idea trite = inspiring.
And, I saw the aforementioned Titan A.E. trailer, too. There was some dork of a teenager sitting next to me who insisted on singing along with the song. Out of key.
Ugh.
AMEN, Brutha!
And one could only hope that the Collective Soul singer got to be the special guest referee and was somehow also killed in the melee.
I’m 
just thinking about it…
I think we all need to ask ourselves:
What would Jesus do?
Answer:
Nothing. Jesus listens to Dr. Dre.
Ain’t nothin’ but a G(-sus) thing.
Montfort and Reservoir Dog- Excellent! You two get a standing ovation! lmao!
drainthelizard: Thank you very much. ::bowing::
I gotta give credit to Snoop Res Dogg for the excellent assist, however.
Looks like we might get an answer to Swiddles’ OP:
Bah, Silver_Fire’s OP, I meant…
Gee… Crap-metal versus an Alice In Clone… Tough call there…
Yer pal,

Answering what? Certainly not the OP, as I stated all that ('cept the charity part) in the OP. My question was, who do you, the great people of the SDMB, think would win? No question as to what was said, the circumstances and such. That’s already clear to me and, as I thought, clear in the OP too.
While I despise both bands violently, and wish they would both just fade back into obscureity from whence they came. Scratch that–violent death for both.
However, honestly, Fred Durst kicks his ass. I mean, they challenged him to a BOXING match. What kinda fight is that? Creed wqould probably fight fair, too. I mean, with that kinda attitude, ** I ** could kick his ass. You know, knee to the groin, sand in the eye, that sorta thing.
Real celebrity deathmatches should be just that–a deathmatch, not some pansy-ass boxing competition for charity. Stupid Christian rock.
