Chris Daughtry recently shared his thoughts on Creed\u2019s successful comeback tour, emphasizing how the band\u2019s return demonstrates rock music\u2019s resurgence. His comments were made during an interview with Mistress Carrie.<\/p>\n
The discussion began when Carrie acknowledged Daughtry\u2019s band stepping up to fill additional tour dates after Three Doors Down had to leave the tour due to Brad Arnold\u2019s health issues.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah. We\u2019re we\u2019re sending him all the all the positive vibes and all the love, man. He\u2019s been a friend for a long time, and we thank a lot of those guys,\u201d Daughtry said. \u201cSo many people would have lost their houses if they bet them a few years ago that Creed was going to come back and be arguably bigger than they were before. And every person that I have talked to that saw one of those shows was like, \u2018It was better than I even thought it was going to be.’\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked about his experience on the tour, Daughtry elaborated on what he witnessed regarding rock music\u2019s current state.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was crazy. It was another reminder that rock is back,\u201d he continued. \u201cEvery night Scott would say like, \u2018How many out there\u2019s seen Creed before, or for how many is this their first time seeing Creed?\u2019 And it was like a good 80% of the crowd. That\u2019s crazy, you know, that this is their first time seeing this band after being gone for 10 plus years. and a lot of them weren\u2019t even alive when they first came out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daughtry expressed optimism about the implications for veteran rock bands like his own.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s encouraging especially for bands like us that have been doing it for almost 20 years, and to see that people are still wanting to come out to see rock bands, and see real, live music, it\u2019s exciting,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was exciting to be a part of it and to share the stage with them, and we get to do it again with Alterbridge in January and February. So, yeah, we love those guys.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daughtry\u2019s observations about rock music\u2019s resurgence are backed by concrete evidence from the tour\u2019s remarkable success.<\/p>\n
Blabbermouth reported that the \u201cSummer of \u201999\u201d tour featuring Creed, Daughtry, 3 Doors Down, Big Wreck, and Mammoth WVH sold over 800,000 tickets across North America. The tour also broke venue records in multiple markets. This commercial success validates Daughtry\u2019s claim that rock music has found its audience again.<\/p>\n
The tour\u2019s impact extends beyond just nostalgia, as it demonstrates the enduring appeal of rock music to new generations. The lineup represents different eras of rock, with Creed\u2019s post-grunge sound from the late 1990s and early 2000s alongside newer acts. This creates a bridge between rock\u2019s past and present.<\/p>\n
Daughtry\u2019s own career trajectory reflects this rock revival. The official Daughtry tour website revealed that the band has an extensive 2025 tour schedule that includes co-headlining dates with Seether. The schedule also features appearances at major festivals like Ottawa Bluesfest and Boots and Hearts Music Festival. This busy schedule indicates strong demand for established rock acts.<\/p>\n
The band is also showcasing new material during these performances. Daughtry\u2019s official website confirmed they are featuring songs from their new EP \u201cShock to the System: Part One,\u201d which includes singles like \u201cThe Dam.\u201d This demonstrates that veteran rock bands are not just relying on past hits but continuing to create new music.<\/p>\n
The bands are scheduled to tour together again with Alter Bridge in early 2025. This further cements the collaborative spirit that Daughtry believes is helping to revitalize the rock scene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
