Some new information has surfaced and being that I gravitate toward the controversial, I'm reposting it here. This came from marktremonti.net http://www.marktremonti.net/cgi-bin/...t=ST;f=1;t=373
Also, some new info. concerning singles from ODR and album #2

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok...I get to the show early and i walk in to see mark on stage sound checking...I walk up to these guys who happen to be Tremonti1.01 and Michael...we introduce ourselves and continue to watch the guys sound check

then we were ushered to another room to wait for the guys to come out and get autographs...well when that happens and we all talk to mark...he says that we (the guys from tremonti.net) can all come with him...so we go back into the concert hall and we're told by Mike Tremonti to wait and Mark will come back out in a bit. So we do.

THIS IS THE CRAZY PART. Mark comes out about 15 minutes later and asks us to go get something to eat with him! so we all end up walking down the streets of tulsa looking for a resturaunt! We end up at a Mexican place and we continue to spend the next hour and a half eating with Mark Tremonti and his beautiful wife! I'm too fucking overwhelmed to eat, but i did manage to ask a ton of questions, along with Tremonti1.01 and Michael...some things i can't share with you but here's a few things you may want to know:

The next single will of course be Find the Real but there will not be a music video for it. After that the single will be Broken Wings and then In Loving Memory. The next CD will not have ballad songs on it like this so this is why he is releasing those.

Although Mark's tapes of his songs got stolen, he managed to rerecord it from memory and says that the songs are even better now.

Mark can not get guitars from PRS, and yes he does hate Gibson now..with a passion.

The craziest thing a fan has ever done at a show was when a girl started feeling him and Myles up on stage. Mark said she was standing right in front of his favorite place to stand when he plays and it sucked because he couldn't go over there anymore.

Mark wrote 99% percent of all Creed songs,melody, lyrics, all of them. he says Scott wrote with arms wide open and that's about it.

The song that he wishes he would have never wrote was "don't stop dancing" and that's because he didn't like the way Scott sang it.

I can't really say some things but I'll just say I was shocked to hear some stories that Mark had to tell, I just don't want to stab him in the back and put it on the internet.

Theres so much more I'm leaving out but I'll let Michael or Tremonti1.01 tell you, I don't want to hog all of this crazy info.

But after we were done eating we walked back and mark had to jump a fence to go backstage to avoid walking into the crowds of fans and being mobbed... Tremonti1.01 and Michael are great guys and it was good to meet them, this was of course, the highlight of my weekend, year, and life. I'll post a pic when I get around to it.
