UCreed yiqembu lomculo elivela eTallahassee. Abaculi bangachazwa njengento emangalisayo "nabalandeli" abaningi abanolaka nabazinikele abagasele eziteshini zomsakazo, besiza ibhendi yabo abayintandokazi ukuthi ihole noma yikuphi.
Umsuka webhendi uScott Stapp kanye nomshayi wesigingci u-Mark Tremonti. Leli qembu laqala ukwaziwa ngo-1995. Abaculi bakhiphe ama-albhamu ama-5, amathathu awo agcina eseyi-multi-platinum.
Leli qembu selithengise amarekhodi angaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-28 e-United States of America, libe yisenzo sesishiyagalolunye esidayiswa kakhulu ngeminyaka yawo-2000.
Indlela yokudala nomculo weqembu le-Creed
Ngakho-ke, abasunguli beqembu elidumile kwakunguScott Stapp noMark Tremonti. Intsha yahlangana ngenkathi ifunda eNyuvesi yaseFlorida.
Abafana babehlangene hhayi kuphela ngothando lomculo, kodwa futhi nobungane obuqinile besilisa. UBrian Marshall noScott Phillips ngokushesha bajoyina i-duo.
Izivivinyo zokuqala zenziwa ekhaya likaScott Stapp. Khona-ke abafana bathuthela ekamelweni elingaphansi, futhi kuphela - ku-studio yokurekhoda yochwepheshe. Ngaphambi kokudala iqembu le-Creed, wonke amalungu amane asevele enolwazi emaqenjini omculo. Yiqiniso, lokhu okuhlangenwe nakho akukwazi ukuhlukaniswa njengochwepheshe.
Ngo-1997, kwethulwa i-albhamu yokuqala ethi My Own Prison. Iqoqo lenze ugqozi lwangempela kubalandeli bomculo osindayo. Iqembu ngokushesha laba nebutho lezinkulungwane zabalandeli, futhi abagxeki bomculo abazange "badubule" iqoqo lokuqala ngezitatimende zabo ezinamandla, kodwa, ngokuphambene nalokho, basekela abaculi abasha.
Le albhamu iqinisekiswe ngokuphindwe kasithupha ngeplatinum futhi ingenye yamaqoqo ahamba phambili athengiswa kakhulu angu-200 ezikhathini zonke e-United States of America. Amaculo angu-10 aphezulu "anyusele" abaculi abasebancane esigabeni esikhulu.
Ngenxa yalokho, iqembu le-Creed lithole isimo se-"Best Rock Artist of the Year" ku-Billboard edume. Kwesinye sezingqungquthela zabezindaba, abaculi babuzwa: "Yini, ngokombono wabo, eyavumela i-albhamu yokuqala ukuba idume kangaka?" Abaculi baphendule, "Ijele lami Own lizuze isikhundla seplatinamu ngenxa yezinhlamvu eziqotho nezibuhlungu."
Ngo-1999, i-discography yeqembu yagcwaliswa nge-albhamu yesibili ye-studio ethi Human Clay. Kuleli cwecwe, abaculi bathinte isihloko sokuzikhethela: "Izenzo ziyithinta kanjani impilo yomuntu?" nokuthi “Ingabe konke kuncike ekukhetheni komuntu?”. Ngemva konyaka kwethulwa disc, Brian Marshall washiya band.
I-albhamu yesithathu yesitudiyo, i-Weathered, yakhululwa ngo-2001. UTremonti wenze ibhesi esitudiyo sokuqopha, kanti uBrett Hestle wayengumdlali webhesi weCreed ekhonsathini. I-disc ithathe isikhundla esiphambili eshadini lomculo le-Billboard 200. Ngaleli qoqo, abaculi baphinde baqinisekisa izinga eliphezulu leqembu le-Creed.
Imidlalo ebukhoma yeqembu ibidume kakhulu. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi kwakungenzeki ngaso sonke isikhathi ukuthola amathikithi ekhonsathi yeqembu lakho olithandayo, njengoba athengiswa ngosuku lokuqala lokuthengisa.
Ekuqaleni kwawo-2000, abaculi badlalela abantu abangaphezu kwesigidi esingu-1 emhlabeni jikelele. "Into ngayinye esiyibonayo esiteji iyashuba, ngoba sidlala ngokusuka enhliziyweni futhi senza konke okusemandleni ethu," kusho uScott Stapp. Lapho engxoxweni yomsakazo inkanyezi yabuzwa: "Iyini imfihlo yempumelelo yabo?", Uphendule kafushane: "Ubuqotho."
Ukuwa kweqembu le-Creed
Ngemva kokwethulwa kwe-albhamu yesithathu yesitudiyo, abaculi bahamba nohambo olukhulu, olwaphela sekusondele u-2002. Abalandeli bebelindele irekhodi lesine, kanti abaculi bebebonakala bengasafuni ukuzwa isicelo sabalandeli.
Ngo-2004, abaculi beqembu le-Creed bamemezela ukuthi bayalihlakaza iqembu. UTremonti noPhillips (kanye noMayfield Four vocalist uMiles Kennedy) bakha ibhendi entsha ebizwa nge-Alter Bridge.
Ngokushesha uBrian Marshall wajoyina iqembu. UScott Stapp wayengenakho ukukhetha ngaphandle kokuphishekela umsebenzi ohamba yedwa. Ngemva konyaka ukuqedwa kweqembu, umculi wethula i-albhamu yakhe eyedwa ethi The Great Divide.
Ukuhlangana kabusha kwe-Creed
Ngo-2009, kwavela ulwazi mayelana nokuhlangana kabusha kweqembu lomculo. Ngokushesha abaculi bethula ingoma ethi Nqoba. Kwacaca kubalandeli ukuthi ukukhululwa kwe-albhamu yesine yesitudiyo kuzokwenzeka maduze. "Abalandeli" abazange benze iphutha ekucabangeni kwabo.
Ngomhla zingama-27 kuMfumfu 2009, i-discography yeqembu yaphinde yagcwaliswa ngeqoqo elisha, Umbuthano Ogcwele. Emakhonsathini eqenjini le-Creed kwavela ilungu elisha - isigingci u-Eric Friedman.
Eminyakeni emithathu eyalandela, abaculi babehamba ngenkuthalo, bejabulisa abalandeli ngama-albhamu amasha. Ngokushesha bamemezele ukukhishwa kwe-albhamu yabo yesihlanu yesitudiyo. Kodwa abalandeli abazange baqaphele ukuthi “ngemuva kwezigcawu” (ngaphakathi kweqembu) kwakuqubuka ingxabano.
Ngenxa yomehluko wobuciko phakathi kwe-Stapp ne-Tremonti, ithimba linqume ukumemezela ukuhlakazwa okulandelayo kweqembu le-Creed. U-Tremonti, u-Marshall no-Philipps baqhubeka nomsebenzi wabo wokudala, kodwa kakade njengeqembu i-Alter Bridge, no-Stapp baphinde baqala umsebenzi wabo wedwa.
Ekuqaleni kuka-2014, u-Sapp waphika ukuwa kokugcina kweqembu. UTremonti uphinde waveza ukuthi ibhendi namanje ayinazo izinhlelo zokuhlangana ukuze kukhishwe iqoqo elisha noma ukuvakasha kwekhonsathi.
Isimangaliso asenzekanga. Ngo-2020, abaculi ababeyingxenye yeqembu le-Creed bathuthukisa amaphrojekthi abo. Kubonakala sengathi iqembu lodumo ngeke livuswe.
UCreed akulona iqembu lobuKristu
Izingoma zomculo zendodana yomfundisi wePentecostal uScott Stapp ezivela ku-albhamu yokuqala zathandwa izigidi zabantu, kuhlanganise namaKristu. Yingakho abathandi bomculo abaningi behlukanise amaculo eqembu ngokuthi "iqembu lobuKristu".
Igama lebhendi nalo lengeze uphethiloli emlilweni. Creed ekuhumusheni kusho "isivumokholo". Izingoma eziphezulu zabaculi abane-Arms Wide Open, i-Don't Stop Dancing ne-Wrong Way bezivame ukuzwakala emoyeni eziteshini zomsakazo zobuKristu.
UScott Stapp usesho kaningi ukuthi iqembu linento yokwenza nobuKristu. Kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo, umculi wenza konke ukuqinisekisa ukuthi iqembu le-Creed lingena "uhlu olumnyama" futhi lisuswe unomphela ohlwini lwamaqembu angamaKristu.
Njengoba udumo luka-Sapp lukhula, wasebenzisa kabi utshwala nophuzo oludakayo, okuyinto ayevame ukwenza kuyo njengesixhwanguxhwangu esiteji.
Ngo-2004, ngesikhathi leli qembu lihlukana okokuqala, lishiya imiklomelo yomculo engaphezu kuka-20 namakhophi angaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-25 athengiswe e-United States of America, uScott wakhulula iqoqo lakhe lokuqala elithi The Great Divide.
Abathandi bomculo nabagxeki bomculo bashesha ukuhlukanisa uScott njengomdlali ongumKristu. Umculi uphendule "abalandeli" ngomusa. Lesi sihlabani siphinde saba yimbangela yamahlazo amaningi, okuhlanganisa impi yokudakwa neqembu le-311.
Kamuva, kwashicilelwa ividiyo lapho uScott nomngane wakhe u-Kid Rock benza ucansi "nabalandeli".
