In an interview about the 45 minute tape Stapp said he did not believe oral sex was actual sex. He was temporarily replaced by touring bassist Brett Hestla with Tremonti handling the bass parts in the studio.

He is also the lead vocalist and lyricist of the rock band Creed of which he is a founding member. Stapp has received several accolades including a Grammy Award for Creed's song "With Arms Wide Open" and numerous RIAA certifications.
