You know, I think that quote might have been taken out of context. It seems like it really contradicts everything that has been said in the past. It has almost always(with the exception of this interview) been said that Tremonti did the music while Stapp did the lyrics. I highly doubt Tremonti also did the lyrics....those lyrics in Creed just don't look like they could have come from Tremo....ESPECIALLY when you compare them to the Alter Bridge lyrics, which if I'm understanding correctly were mainly written by Tremo. I'm a big fan of Flip, as I am of Tremonti, Marshall, Stapp and Kennedy, but even I question that particular quote(just the lyrics part and perhaps the vocal part, too) and have questioned it since the day I read it in that paper.
