I am a huge Tremonti fan I am very pissed that in this interview disses creeds music, i believe it to be totally fucked up!He can say what he wants but for him to diss creeds music is to diss the fans that paid to listen and to support them.Alterbridge is not as good of a band as creed was, they will never be, just like Stapp will never be either. They are at their best collectively! Lets just put the whole thing to rest because if I have to hear Mark dissing Creed I'd rather listen to Audioslave and forget about a crap band called alter bridge..I am so pissed!


"I haven't listened to a Creed song in years," he confesses. "I can't stand it. I wouldn't want to play those songs again. It was a complete nightmare"

Mark you Suck ! Time to grow up! If you can't stand creeds music, you should defintely stop listening to the crap music your making with a poser rock star wannabe because it's way worse!

Okay so I need some clarification here....you're a self proclaimed fan of Mark right? And then I see your signature...which looks to be Stapp's signature way of taking veiled potshots at his former band mates.

Then you go on to diss a perfectly decent, in fact awesome man, who's now the lead singer of Mark's current band. I'm confused as to where Myles has shown a poser rock star attitude. If you're referring to his appearance at the end of the movie Rock Star....it's called "acting." Something he has not done at all with his performances on tour in AB. B/c he's genuine.

Tell me how Creed could have been at their best collectively if Mark, the person you profess to be a rather big fan of, wasn't able to fully utilize his talent and chops on the guitar b/c of the restraints put on him from the genre Creed was classified with and the musical style that the record company and Stapp felt they needed to stick with to sell the most albums. Yes I once loved the music too...I may again someday...but that's not the route that Mark wanted or needed to take anymore. He's had full creative reign with his skills and style since Creed dissipated and has truly shown what he's capable of. Fantastic guitar riffs and melodies that are hard core rock and still hail back to the days of classic rock as well. Yet now he sucks b/c he can't listen to the songs from a band he was in anymore b/c the frontman of that band has soured his whole viewpoint of that time with his now admitted abusive, delirious and downright egomaniacal acts?

I think it's sad that Stapp has reduced Mark's viewpoint of Creed to such a low state. Not just Mark's however....TONS of Creed fans who finally started to see the truth, a very long time ago, that was admitted in this article and realized what was going on now see the music in a different light b/c of Stapp's actions. And Mark sucks for saying what hundreds to thousands of fans have already said?

*edited to add*

I think this was a very good move on Scott's part to FINALLY fess up to some of this stuff that people have known and suspected for years. It clears the air of some things. He's still taking potshots with it but hey....zebra can't change it's stripes completely. I really do applaud him for admitting what he has in this article. I think this may have started out as a forced effort from Windup as damage control after seeing the debacle on Casino Cinema but those are only my own suspicions. This is the most honest article I've ever seen from Scott and I loved it! I sincerely hope he's able to go through the tour completely dry with the help if Jaclyn and his sobriety coach b/c it will only do him that much better.
