I'm not really a fan of Creed at all, but as this new style of rock is now nu-metal, Slipknot, Korn, Limp Bizkit and that sort of crap, there are a few bands ie. Creed and Nickelback that are doing there best to become succesful in the rock world where (at the moment) nu-metal seems to rule. I don't see Creed and Nickelback as being nu-metal.
