Nice headline, Phred! My favorite part of the article was "Phillips, guitarist Mark Tremonti and former Creed bassist Brian Marshall have already formed a band called Alter Bridge".

Certainly good news!

But....be careful what you wish for...now we'll have 'The Scott Stapp Band" as well as the other two morons joining up with someone ala Velvet Revolver....

As I always said about N Sync and Backstreet...let em stay together, else we'll have 5x the amount of bad music when they all go solo...

Yikes! Yeah this is good news. Although Creed has put out some decent music that my friends and I make fun of on a daily basis.

This was the best news I heard all weekend! Now if you will excuse me I am going to go celebrate by running through the streets naked.

perripken

Let me be the first to be disappointed. I liked Creed, but I guess different opinions make the world go 'round. I also happen to like Velvet Revolver. I always said that Guns n Roses would be a better band with a real singer!

I thought Creed was awful...I'm glad they broke up. Every song sounded the same.

Let's hope that dickhead Stapp doesn't try to release a solo album or anything.

I got a good laugh out of hearing Creed broke up. And I got a good laugh out of the other band members already starting another band. Now all we need is a few of these other bands to break up and the world will be a better place haha.

THat's the funniest title I've seen in quite a while!

Stompy

Nickelback, yes, but Staind?

Sure, they're from the same generation of music, but the man's lyrics are really something that a lot of kids could identify with.. more so than Creed/Nickelback. For example, check out the lyrics to Fade: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/staind/fade.html. They aren't some band out to make a quick buck or one that's driven by ego like Creed.

Nickelback... eh, I just don't like 'em. I refer to them as "cock rock" or the same generic bland music that has been made time and time again.

What exactly was the beef between him and Fred Durst? I know it's old news but I would really appreciate a bried nutshell synopsis of the dispute. Thanks

Stompy

Clash of egos.

It all started, if I'm not mistaken, at a concert where LB and Creed were playing. I'm not sure who was to perform last, but the one who WASN'T performing last got all pissed off.

I think Creed wanted to perform last but couldn't, so Fred Durst went out in front of the audience and was talking shit, and of all things, made fun of his ego.

Fred's one to talk, huh?

Fred later went on TRL and slammed Stapp. Stapp retorted and called him an egomaniac, etc etc..

Basically just a battle of egotistical overpaid moron lead singers of crappy bands.

Creed is decent and something that I will listen to on the radio, but I never got into them that much or cared either way for them.

Thanks much. I guess it was inevitable to be an ego battle between two overpaid overrated artists.... Just my opinion.

frankx

Very glad this band has broken up. I honestly cannot fathom the popularity of mundane groups like this. My only fear is that the individual members, in particular the obnoxious lead singer, will find other ways to shove bad, bad music off on the public.

As much as I hated Creed, I would have loved to see Stapp kick Durst's ass.

subz

I really enjoy listening to Staind's music. On some of the songs I can really relate with the lyrics. I don't really think Nickelback is too bad either.

Creed sucked though. Won't be missing them.

K-Wise

Funny he should say that cause thats exactly what the band sounds like. Granted Tremonti added a few new speedy little metal guitar tricks which are pretty tired now anyways...since his are just out of place and over done. I saw the video for the band. I own 2 Creed Cd's. I didn't mind Scott that much...thought he had a great voice....this new guy is pretty good too but he's not as good as Stapp was....so don't think yer gonna like Alter Bridge any better cause it's just the same band with a different singer.

Asta!!

miggity99

Alter Bridge is exactly the same as Creed, just a different lead singer. There's nothing different I can tell other than the guys voice.

And for some other bad news, Stapp is working on a solo project.

yes! now the radio will not be flooded with terrible pop-rock music. Oh wait, it still will, but at least no more creed.

bltzkriegmcanon

Nah, the radio will still play shittons of Creed, but there just won't be "new" Creed.
