Things look a bit shitty these days. The global financial crisis has everyone bummed out, Fred Durst won't stop talking about Limp Bizkit getting back together, and now there are rumours Creed may reunite.

Although nothing's been confirmed, singer Scott Stapp, guitarist Mark Tremonti, drummer Scott Phillips and bassist Brian Marshall are reportedly considering a reunion since Alter Bridge frontman Myles Kennedy is rumoured to be heading out on tour with Led Zeppelin (or rather, Ned Zeppelin) as Robert Plant's replacement. Kennedy started Alter Bridge with Tremonti, Phillips and Marshall after Creed broke up in 2004.

"There have been some talks, but it would be premature to comment on them at this time," a Wind-Up Records spokesperson told Billboard.com.

The website reports that there are "significant dollars" laid out for a Creed reunion tour, and an announcement regarding one could be made shortly. If this is true, we think Limp Bizkit and Creed should tour together and call the jaunt the Let's Rape! tour. (OK, we're kidding; rape is no laughing matter, though.)

Creed haven't performed since 2004. Stapp released a solo album, 2005's The Great Divide, which was an inexplicable chart success south of the border. He has a second one planned for release in 2009. Heaven help us all.

Since Creed split up, Stapp has been busy trying to block a sex tape that apparently shows him and Kid Rock performing oral sex acts with three female fans. Stapp says there isn't any sex on the tape, and Kid Rock called him an "idiot." Maybe this rumoured reunion tour is to keep him out of trouble? Oh, wait. We forgot about how he used to get drunk on stage and ruin shows.
