Creed’s Scott Stapp Expresses Disappointment With Obama Administration
Ethan Miller, Getty Images Creed vocalist Scott Stapp is among those voicing his political concerns as the presidential race heats up. The singer says that while he was fully behind Barack Obama in 2008, he’s not exactly thrilled with what he’s seen from our current leader. Speaking on the Fox & Friends television show (see video below), Stapp revealed that he was “disappointed” by Obama, whom he claims “made a lot of promises, but no real delivery.” Sharing his thoughts on which way he’s leaning these days, Stapp said, “My heart and soul would really want someone like Reagan or FDR to come back and give us a New Deal. Be bold, be committed, don’t care what anybody thinks.” He also stated that we need someone who can lead us out of the current recession and that he’s looking for a strong decision maker to emerge during the debates. The vocalist said that while he backed Obama previously, he’s a little more hesitant this time. “For me, it’s hard to commit and to trust President Obama again because I was so inspired and thought everything was going to change,” says Stapp. “I know he walked into a tough situation, but I feel change is in the air.” In addition to talking politics, Stapp is making the rounds this week to promote his new book, ‘ Sinner’s Creed ,’ which shares his life story.

Slash Records Score for Horror Film ‘Nothing to Fear,’ Books ‘Conan’ Performance
Jo Hale, Getty Images Slash might be branching out into film production, but he’s still a rocker at heart — so it only makes sense that ‘Nothing to Fear,’ the debut release from his Slasher Films banner, will feature a Slash score. He broke the news via his Facebook page yesterday (Oct. 1), writing, “Going into the studio tonight to work on ‘Nothing to Fear’ score. It’s really coming together” and adding a top-hatted winking smiley face emoticon. While a release date for the movie has yet to be announced, it’s already picked up a distributor — as reported in January , ‘Nothing to Fear’ will be released by Anchor Bay. Featuring the freaky antics of a lunatic preacher in a small Kansas town that is supposedly “one of the seven gateways to Hell,” it sounds like good old-fashioned horror fun, and the perfect vehicle for a few Slash instrumentals. On the non-film front, Slash is still out promoting his latest album, the Top 5 Billboard hit ‘Apocalyptic Love.’ The night after concluding their current tour, he’ll bring his band to ‘Conan’ on Thursday (Oct. 4) for a performance of their latest single, ‘Standing in the Sun.’
Former Judas Priest Guitarist K.K. Downing Thriving With New Golf Venture
Fans holding out hope that retired Judas Priest guitarist K.K. Downing might find himself missing the stage and return to the band should probably put that notion to bed. Downing, who gave up his career with Judas Priest to focus on his love for golf and developing a multi-million dollar sporting complex complete with luxury hotel and world class golf course, seems to be pretty happy with his current venture.
