Your arms were wide open and now your prayers have been answered: Christian rock band Creed have officially reunited. Don't use the term around lead singer Scott Stapp however, who told
Rolling Stone: "I wouldn't call it a reunion. It's a renewing and a rebirth. I missed my boys and wanted to create music with them again. We're all thrilled to have a second chance to make a first impression."
Guitarist Mark Tremonti, drummer Scott Phillips and bassist Brian Marshall are all back despite the band's acrimonious split in 2004 (incidentally, the same year they came second to Limp Bizkit in Guitar World's Worst Band of the Year feature).
Stapp said of their recent first meetings together: "We were collectively saying, 'Hey man, I'm sorry if I hurt you or my choices did anything to cause you any pain. I have nothing but love and forgiveness for you and I hope you can forgive me.' It's all part of the process of reflection and not looking back at the six months out of 10 years that were trying."
Get ready to wet your pants with excitement because apparently Stapp and Tremonti have already recorded six demos for the new Creed album, which is tenatively - and appropriately - titled Full Circle.
