Scott Stapp was born on August 8, 1973

Scott Stapp was born 34 years ago on August 8th of 1973. Stapp became famous in the late 1990s and early 2000s as the lead singer for the band Creed.

Although Creed was a huge commercial success during this period, they were and are despised by music critics and all people with any semblance of taste.

Among the stupid things closely associated with Creed were WWE and Christian Rock.

Stapp has become more well known for his acts of public stupidity than his mind numbing music in recent years. An example of this is his drunken appearance on a celebrity poker TV show in 2006.

Enjoy:



I recommend not downloading Creed onto your iPod.
