Scott Stapp Gets Punk'd. By LiveJournaller. At Denny's.

Apparently former Creeder Scott Stapp got thrown off a plane for being a drunk fuck, hit on some skeeze at the airport bar, and had his skank sister drive him all over Florida searching for his mystery cooze. Next up: A Gainesville Denny's at which he was mocked by "fans." Then a Lexapro/coke fuelled pussy hunt, documented in detail on LJ (with pictures)!

Check it out.Can't vouch for its authenticity ... but Stapp could probably use any press he can get these days. Thanks Chrissie L. for the link.

i don't like creed either, but man, that's a terrible thing to do to a guy that didn't really do anything to them. i guess maybe i just feel sorry for his fall from grace, or whatever. just leave the fucking guy alone.

It's kind of cruel, but could have been funnier. I think the mistake they made is that they had too many people there making it difficult to pull off a more elaborate prank

Mr. Creed most certainly deserves this type of humiliation. Every day. For the rest of his life.

My life is complete. I'm so happy, I can't even talk. Seriously. Oh my god, that is the greatest thing I have seen or will ever see in my entire life...

Praise the Lord!

Hyperbole is more than fun; it's the best thing ever! (not being ironic, hyperbole is fun)

8 trillion people use hyperbole at least 30 million times each and every day.

I saw Creed for $ 1.00 back in '99. I could have done alot with that dollar. I want my dollar back.

The only thing that could've made this story any better is if one of those kids would've kicked him in the crotch.

don't forget about scott getting kicked out of http://www.leeuniversity.edu for smoking pot.
He talks about in all his bios as his major low point.

I guess you're right, I shouldn't have said that. It just didn't seem like a joke to me; I'm still not sure I get it. Is he saying that this isn't funny, or that it is the "greatest thing ever"? I don't want any trouble, I just want to understand.

I liked the bit about his asking her if she had an acoustic guitar so that she could help him write his next his next "hit single".

SS: "Yeah baby. I already have the title: 'With Thighs Wide Open'. Cool, huh?"

Still think one of the best rock stories I've heard is when the guy acted like a complete assclown at a show in Chicago and was sued (unsuccessfully) by some of the fans in attendance. Read SS's side of the story here:

I live in Gainesville, and while saldy I missed it, Iwould like to say it should be "THE Gainesville Denny's", as we only have one. With two, we'd probably have the lead singer of Staind looking for love in the other.

Considering the guy used to take showers with groupies backstage after concerts WHILE he was married with a son, and still claimed to be a Christian, it's pretty fucking funny. Also, he'll never be able to repay his debt for the crime against humanity that was "My Sacrifice."

FUCK THAT Evan, you ignorant piece of shit. I won't hold it personally against since you must not know what is funny or what a joke is, but you sodomites leaping to his defence are even worse. Let me catch you on the street and I will show you the hyperbolic beating you deserve, and so sorely need.
And Henry does NOT speak for me.

Oh shut the fuck up. The fact you threatened to beat him up over something said on the internet, is enough for me to assume that you like Creed, and therefore "shame on you."

I hate Creed as much as the next guy, but this is not cool. I'm with the person on that thread that hopes he sues her. Anybody that thinks this is funny needs to grow the fuck up.

What isn't funny about that? The guy's obviously an asshole, and he got what was coming to him. Some of you people are seriously lacking a sense of humor. I won't hold it to you that you called me a "sodomite", since you're obviously an inbred half-retarded simian.

*shakes head and laughs* you all have problems, Scott Stapp is a legend and you know it's true, Creed sucked and I know that, but come on you guys you don't know the guy, he's a great singer and a brilliant songwriter, his solo CD The Great Divide is awesome, I previewed it, it's very unique and has amazing songs like Justify, and you know what, I don't care what you say I will never change my mind that he's better off solo and Alter Bridge sucks balls thank you and the discussion is over

I have one thing to say to that guy, "Karma." If you don't know what that means, look it up. It is so true. And when you experience something traumatic in your life, you will know why. Figure it out.

scott stapp sounds like a jerk, but he's probably also got some major substance abuse problem driving this idiocy. don't feel sorry for him, but on the other hand it's probably not necessary to kick him in the crotch repeatedly.

You people are pathetic.Losers on your own rights.Have you looked at yourselves in the mirror lately? First off, the target of the prank is a famous guy. Say what you will of the guy, everyone's entitled to their own opinion.Fact: he's famous (whether past or present, the fact that you know him means he's still popular) You're not! You're just this cool dude wannabe who wants to be popular by trying to make fun of somebody popular. Hey, I'm a cool dude because I made fun of "Scott Stapp". Totally pathetic! Grow up!
