Yeah, marketing and promo will be key. There are plenty of very talented frontmen (Chris Cornell for one) who did not do well despite their talent. It's even harder for guitarists sometimes...(Jerry Cantrell comes to mind)...Zakk's doing pretty well, but still, it's very difficult to equal the success of a super-group like Creed when the members go about their separate ways. I hope Alter Bridge kick ass, though
