how big was creed how big was your band man i tell you um during our peak uh we
were doing
back-to-back nights at arenas and had just started putting stadiums on hold
uh when we uh went our separate ways the first time when you guys separated yes
wow yes so you
guys had all that kind of work like potentially on the books yeah we sure did
we sure did
and what what was what kind of cause like what causes a band at that is it just
were you guys
exhausted was it just differences of opinion what kind of causes a because it
would seem like
everything's kind of you know it's it's so complicated yeah um i mean for me uh
it was
exhaustion from the run to get there uh mixed with just some poor decisions um
in order to keep the
machine going thinking i was taking one for the team didn't and not
understanding and knowing the
consequences of those actions um and then just you know people grow apart and
and everyone's dreams
um may not be fulfilled at that moment in time uh yeah you know but we got back
together in 2009 and
made a new record and it did did really well and had a good run until 2012 and
and then uh
we're on hiatus again was that second run was it different than the the first
experience was it
like most definitely yeah most definitely uh the first experience was you know
we were family we were
brothers uh we we were in college together we we did holidays together wow we
were all we had
and the second experience you know everyone's successful wealthy um and you
know egos have
grown yeah um and and people change and people people grow uh and uh people
grow apart
success is scary it's kind of scary i feel like did you find that success
became like for me success
became real scary i felt like if i got to a certain part of success and i didn't
know that i felt this
but i thought like a lot of things in my life would like problems i had and
issues that i had going on
that they would just kind of go away right and uh and i there was a part of me
that was shocked
that that wasn't the case when i found some success it almost i mean it really
hit me hard that
that wasn't the case yeah it it definitely wasn't the case for me it it it
created new problems
and metastasized old ones yeah um and then the pressure of maintaining that um
you know for me
the the pressure of knowing that you know every show rested on my ability to go
out on stage and sing
and of course we were a band and and and everyone you know had to be present to
be there but i felt
such a pressure um and uh you know that that weighed on me and not having a
support system
in place uh you know to help me uh took its toll and and i didn't make uh all
the right decisions but
hey who does when they're 24 and 25 i don't beat myself up over it anymore yeah
