He might consider a "chill" for himselfself. It's nice to know the band follows what's going on, but it's strange to address fans posting questions and hypothesis with so much anger. I hope his rant isn't on behalf of Alter Bridge.

Wait...is this a copy and paste from some website? Did Tremontis brother say this? Either way, its highly unprofessional and rude. Make music for yourself, not the fans. Fans will leave you high and dry to the next big thing. But YOUR music will always stick with you.

No this was what michael tremonti wrote on the alterbridgeband.net message board. he post their and is tired of fans saying alter bridge is over and creed is selling out!!!!

^Ahhh, Nagpo is right though, that rant lacks dignity.

Me thinks the lad doth protest too much.

People are cynical in this day and age, and he has to expect that sort of response from some of them. So, it's OK to have an opinion but not to express it? I notice a lot of the current interviews have been done in print, not video, where you can tell a lot more from a person's body language than you can through only the written word. People are going deduce things from what they see and hear, and if you look at the big picture, it may look like a money grab from the standpoint of the record label and their maybe being contractually obligated for another record. AB is a good band, don't get me wrong, but it did not have the commercial success of Creed, and Michael cannot be surprised that some people see this as a money grab. And what, he wants the fans to kiss the band's ass? Sorry, but blind faith is not for everyone.

It is equally rude to take someone's post from one board and post it on another without their permission.

He put it out there. You can't expect fans not to react and talk about it.

[username]

No, I don't expect that at all. That is a good thing. But again, to copy his post and paste it here is bad form. You want to reference something, post a link.

Not to mention, he didn't give all the context. He didn't mention the people slagging on the bandmembers personally and outright claiming that they were lying when they said Alter Bridge would continue. So, although I wouldn't have posted what Michael did, I do understand where it's coming from.

You're right, there should be a link, and I will fix that. With regard to being out of context, it looks as if the entire post is here, without comment. I still think Michael is naive to think that people won't see the band as selling out. As I said, it's a cynical world and for everyone to be rah-rah happy about it is not realistic. And some people will call it as they see it, absent whatever "is in the hearts" of the band members. Since he didn't expound on that further, people, as human nature is wont to do, will speculate.

Look people GO see for yourself marks brother posted it! Michael said it becasue he is the spokesperson for alter bridge and people on Alter Bridge Boards are slamming all the guys for going back to scott stapp! So he felt the need to react..people are calling the guys sellouts..how would u like it if your brother was being called a sellout! I understand he was on fire at the time but I think the passion in his rant says that AB will carry on, we will see...

[Dogstar]

There is no problem with posting it. Just be sure to post the link as well in the future, just so there is no doubt about where it came from.

I see, It wasnt clear if it was him at first.

I think everyone has a right to express his or her opinions, but I think what Michael was responding to was some people who really just post random comments that have no basis to them whatsoever. If you go read some of the comments people posted on that forum, some are very very rude and disrespectful. I think that is what pushed Michael "over the edge" so to speak.
