The evolution of Mark Tremonti, Scott Phillips and Brian Marshall as artists is marked with the debut of Alter Bridge. After selling 30 million albums worldwide, Creed has called it quits and its members have chosen to pursue new creative directions. Over three albums, Creed achieved countless industry accolades, had two No. 1 albums, and played to millions of fans around the world. Guitarist/ songwriter Mark Tremonti states, "After all Creed achieved professionally, I felt that I needed to refocus on the goals that I had personally. One of those goals was to get back to my rock and roll roots. After Creed took a break, band-mate Scott Phillips and I started to jam together again and realized that we both shared the same vision and were surprisingly anxious to get back out there and start doing it again." The evolution continued when original Creed bassist Brian Marshall, who was not part of Creed's Weathered album and had been working as a musician/ producer at his home studio, got a call from Tremonti. "When I got the call from Mark I could tell by the tone of his voice that Alter Bridge was something that he was really excited about and I immediately knew that I wanted to be a part of it. He told me, 'Your bass playing matches the sound more than any other, you're the guy', he told me. It's great to be working with those guys again, we haven't skipped a beat," Marshall notes.

You can kill me now

2. That cheesey dickhead may be gone, but Tremonti sucks on!

3. Good!

I'm glad to see Brian Marshall back and Scott Stapp gone. They should have never let him go for such an idiotic reason. I liked the band for about 5 minutes and even bought their first album, but jeebus, their fans are obnoxious pricks! Bunch of asshole 'Christian' fundies.

4. Just for the hell of it...

...I went to their website and looked at some of their lyrics. This little ditty sounds like it could qualify for the Republican Party Anthem:

Freedom Fighter
The mouths of envious
Always find another door
While at the gates of paradise they
beat us down some more
But our mission’s set in stone
‘Cause the writing’s on the wall
I’ll scream it from the mountain tops
pride comes before a fall

So many thoughts to share
All this energy to give
Unlike those who hide the truth
I tell it like it is
If the truth will set you free
I feel sorry for your soul
Can’t you hear the ringing ‘cause
for you the bell tolls

I’m just a freedom fighter
No remorse
Raging on in holy war
Soon there’ll come a day
When you’re face to face with me
Face to face with me

Can’t you hear us coming?
People marching all around
Can’t you see we’re coming?
Close your eyes it’s over now
Can’t you hear us coming?
The fight has only just begun
Can’t you see we’re coming?

I’m just a freedom fighter
No remorse
Raging on in holy war
Soon there’ll come a day
When you’re face to face with me
Face to face with me

5. Is their lead singer still going to sound like he's pooping turds

sideways?

God, I hate that band. :puke:

[Susang]

6. Why, oh why must you torment me so?

Why can't they just cash their checks and walk away?

[Medium Baby Jesus]

7. Stapp lives on.

I heard on the radio that Stapp is doing a song on a soon to be released album "A Tribute to the Passion of the Christ"

:puke:

8. Stapp to work with The Tea Party

Which really sucks, as I love The Tea Party. Apparently, they're going to be co-writing his solo debut.

10. I think we were supposed to drive a stake through Creed's heart

That must have been the problem here.:freak:

[Fenris]

12. I want Scott Stapp's head on a silver platter!

[JohnKleeb]

13. hire an assassin

I hear they do a good job. BTW I finally saw the full movie and Willem Dafoe scares me more.

11. get me a priest so I can get my last rites
