With many good rock groups disbanding and regrouping, and the introduction of all these whiny, emo, sound-all-like-crap bands being born on MTV, it sometimes is hard to get really good news from the music world. Here is my good news. Creed is breaking up.
"Creed songwriter/ guitarist Mark Tremonti has decided to join forces with Creed drummer Scott Phillips, original Creed bassist Brian Marshall and former Mayfield Four singer/ songwriter Myles Kennedy. The new band, named Alter Bridge, will release their debut album on Wind-up Records on August 10th of this year. Expect a promotional acoustic tour of radio stations later this Summer, followed by a worldwide tour to begin in late August or early September."
The new band's sound is supposed to be edgier. I expect good things from them because Scott Stapp (the lead singer of Creed) would never have made it anywhere without his band. In fact, Stapp was the reason I didn't like the band. It's not very becoming of a performer to get the band into a legal battle by passing out in a concert. It also gets annoying when EVERY song sounds the same because the guy's voice has a span of eight notes. Whenever I listen to a Creed song, I can hear the band wanting to go all out and not be hidden behind some crappy ass vocal performance.
It is a happy time.
