On board the Creed cruise: the unfathomable return of the ‘worst band of the 90s’
The long read: I took a cruise with thousands of fellow lunatics to find out how this much-mocked rock band became so beloved
The band’s guitarist, Mark Tremonti, told the hard-rock site Blabbermouth that he’d recently noticed athletes bumping Creed as their “ go-to battle music ”, and, in November, an entire stadium of Texas Rangers fans belted out Higher to commemorate their team’s World Series victory. The woman standing ankle-deep in the wading pool with a Stewie Griffin tattoo on her shin unambiguously loves Creed, and the same is probably true of whoever was lounging on a deckchair with a book, written by Fox News pundit Jesse Watters, titled Get It Together: Troubling Tales From the Liberal Fringe. Consider the young man, travelling with his father, who is draped in a T-shirt bearing the Creed logo below a beatific image of Nicolas Cage circa Con Air,or the many fans who wander around the innards of the Pearl in matching Scott Stapp-branded Dallas Cowboys jerseys, a reference to that half-time show.In fact, the best representatives of sardonic Creed-fandom colonists might be the youngest collection of friends that I’ve met on board.
