Jen, no offense....but that's the stupidest Question I've ever heard..... THere IS NO WAY TREMONTI WOULD LEAVE CREED!....HE'S TOO INVOLVED IN IT TO QUITE!...I beleive that this is just a way to get some of those Soloist riffs out that he's not able to get out w/ Creed cuz they're accual Songs....Not Guitars backed by a few dinky insturments.....
