This Is The Reason Scott Stap Chooses Bono As His God Rock

JAKARTA - Creed frontman Scott Stapp was the main guest in the BBC's "The Rock Show With Allah Walker" program during the "Rock God" segment.

Scott then chose the U2 vocalist, Bono and gave reasons for his choice.

"The reason I chose Bono was because of the impact of the lyrics on my life, especially from the album The Joshua Tree during my life between the ages of 14 and 17, when I was going through a very difficult time," said Stapp.

"I'm sure I found [U2] through MTV. I asked my grandmother at that time to buy me the album, and I couldn't get the cassette out of my stereo. For three years, it was repeated, and the lyrics connected to me at a very private level."

"I feel like U2 and Bono are talking directly to me, encouraging me, giving me hope, helping me through the difficult times of my life."

"And that's the beauty of music. And that's the gift that Bono has. Inspiration, love, and hope. And I will never forget the album and what Bono has done and the music for me."

"In my opinion, The Joshua Tree has so far been one of the greatest albums ever written, musically and lyrically," he continued.

"The music is not only inspiring and raising enthusiasm, but also diverse and takes you through various kinds of emotions."

"I had the opportunity to meet the band in 2001 at the Grammys, chat with The Edge and meet Bono for a while, and it was a dream come true."

"In my opinion, there is no stone god who is greater than Bono," Scott added.
