Youll have to excuse Scott Stapp. Hes just a little confused though thankfully, this time its not about his familys involvement with ISIS.
See, theres this movie called Creed thats hitting movie theaters nationwide on November 25. Youve probably heard of it. In fact, if youve ever watched a Rocky movie which, who are we kidding, of course you have youll know that its about Apollo Creeds son, who makes the trip to Philadelphia to follow in his fathers footsteps under Rocky Balboas tutelage.
But for Stapp, the lead singer of late-Nineties/early-Aughts rock titans Creed, he thought he was getting something else; something that hit a little closer to home.
This week, I checked out a new film called Creed, Stapp says in a new Funny or Die clip. I said to myself Finally! The epic tale of my band Creed is coming to the big screen! As Creed the movie unfolded, there wasnt much that resembled what happened in Creed the band.
Stapps disappointment didnt stop there. From Michael B. Jordan not having much resemblance to him to there being a total lack of killer guitar solos and emotional singing from mountaintops, he was understandably upset about how it all unfolded. Also, did you know theres a lot of boxing in the movie? Because apparently theres a lot of boxing.
This movie has a lot of boxing, Stapp says. One time I punched a guy from 311, but I never actually boxed.
Ah, yes, the infamous 311 case. We all remember that.
Still, despite his confusion, Stapp still enjoyed Creed, bestowing it with a rating of four arms wide open. That means you should take an extended break from your family during Thanksgiving to watch Jordan kick some ass. Youll thank Stapp later.
