Stu Cook SHOCKS Fans With His Revelation About John Fogerty

Stu Cook SHOCKS Fans With His Revelation About John Fogerty

It’s the late 1960s, and a band Creedence Clearwater Revival is capturing
America’s heart. Songs like “Proud Mary,” “Bad Moon Rising,” and “Fortunate Son” become anthems for a generation dealing with war, social change, and hope for the future. At the center of the band is John Fogerty—lead singer, guitarist, and the creative force behind their
sound. But beneath the surface, things aren’t as harmonious as they seem. Now, after decades of silence, bassist Stu Cook is sharing his side of the story.

What you don`t hear Stu Cook talk about is how he and the other members of the band screwed John over and ruined his life while they got rich off of the royalties from the songs that John wrote. They left John dead in the water for many years but he came out on top in the end

[Hera-Klit]

John Fogerty is an original genius and without him the others are nothing. They should be grateful that they were able to be there and make music with him

[bobstrauss]

John's control was the reason why CCR was great. If John never stepped up, we would never have heard of CCR!

[BoxofRain-fftd]

Clifford and Cook should do a reality check and give some thought as to how their lives would have played out if they hadn’t hitched a ride on the musical juggernaut that was John Fogerty.

[tommybotts]

Still waiting to hear Stu or Doug's first Top 40 Hitbound single...

[MoneyMagnet-mt]

What Stu doesn't tell anyone is they were a great band when John had the control. When John finally let them have some creative control, the band tanked. Stu and Doug had no one to blame but themselves. The only thing John was ever guilty of is being a perfectionist. He played his music well.

[noiricha]

With all due respect to the band members who obviously contributed the sound of this successful band but John wrote all the successful songs, sang all the lead vocals, and was the lead guitarist. He was the powerhouse in the band ... that's a fact. The last album was proof. This scenario has played out in almost every successful band.

[LouisSimboli-jtpn]

I grew up on CCR. John was the MAN. He wrote, sang, and played lead on all the songs because he was that good. They helped shape the overall band sound, but they got rich because of John.

[jerrymeadows]

I think the big problem with CCR was Fogerty didn't have a good supporting cast. Those guys should have awakened every day and thanked their lucky stars that they had John to provide them with classic songs to perform. As a result they didn't maximize their potential.

[petebyron]

The drummer was a big part of the bands energy and sound.

[JoeMasse-eb]

Stu and Doug are good musicians, not good songwriters, or singers? There are many good players but not many people can write songs that are instant classics, John Fogerty had this skill, and a unique voice. John would have probably would have been successful with out CCR, Stu and Doug, probably never would have made it in music, with out John

[johnanthonycafe]

John had the creativity & energy to drive the CCR bus.
What hits did Stu or Doug write?

[testy]

John WAS CCR. He had the right to make decisions. John was successful without CCR. Where are the other members of CCR?

[monmixer]

I can see a songwriter wanting his songs presented the way he envisioned it.

[ctrockstar]

John Fogarty was CCR. Be thankful he let you ride his coat tail

[roseannes]

🎀John Fogerty was the reason CCR succeeded. John was the success factor. They ought to have not blocked his leadership, & the band would, undoubtedly, have become even greater🎀

[BudinVegas]

There has to be a "leader". John was that man. A great band of 4 guys. Too bad
for the discontent. One additional comment, Doug Clifford had the "most unique"
drum rolls and timed cymbal crashes that made John's songs even better. I love
the way Doug played the drums and his rolls and timing. CCR, a real favorite.

[davidlong]

John was Credence . The others should be thankful to John for their time in the spotlight.

[roadrunner]

I am the same age as JF and I remember CCR well. The other three members of the band were very good musicians. John Fogerty was one of few creative geniuses. I have heard this same member say, "John was like someone on a baseball team that wanted to play all positions." That is because he knew how all the positions should be played. The album Mardi Gras was a "democratic album." It was terrible.

[TonyTheBassPlayer]

The band says John was a taskmaster and a big meanie and an ego maniac. John says the band was lazy, had big egos and were more interested in partying and being rockstars than they were doing what it took to maintain that lifestyle.

John has had a slew of hits since CCR not one of his band members even did something of note with another band. Nothing, zero, nada, zilch. At all, at all, at all.

Who's story sounds more believable.
