Yeah, right on!!
1) The guys says it's all about the fun
2) I've met them and seen them on stage - believe me, it's not about tme money
3) You don't work your ass off 24/7 in 6 months if you want the money. You do it for the love of your work and the fans!!

Here's hoping for no reunion. I want the real musicians in AB, not the held back musicians in Creed.

This crap about them being held back in Creed is total BS.

Alter Bridge does have meaningful songs and I listen to "Burn It Down" a lot when I'm in a down mood.

Creed had meaning, in the My Own Prison days.

Are you kiding me? Compare the musicanship between AB and creed.......Do you hear any fast solos in Weathered (besides Stand here with me)? Do you hear any complicate dum stuff in creed? Thats one reason i believe that AB had musical differences with Scott, they wanted to do some crazy shit and scott didn't want em to.

Completely agree with you there, DekWannaBFlea.

Okay Sir.Handmedown would like to make a few points! ;)

-Creed were a multi-platnium band including having a diamond record so finances have nothing to do with Creed possibly coming back in the future. Neither of the guys have to get back to anything like Creed's financial success in order to fund their lifestyles.

-I have no idea what the future holds but I can't see a reunion in the next 4-5 years but perhaps in 10 years time it will happen. Mark and Scott were a fantastic songwriting team and the band brought so much the table. However the AB guys seem happier and Scott seems happy doing his own thing as well.
-The muscianship in AB is certainly better and that is something Mark wanted to do and its great to see.

All 3 albums had meaning, there's no debating that.

Thank you, finally someone who understands me!!

Just listen to the Creed albums and to ODR - and you will clearly hear big difference!!

sounds 'bout right to me... to me, the breakup was, more or less, over creative control of the band. the way i see it, stapp wanted to do one thing, flip and tremo wanted a different thing. and i think AB is the perfect outlet for that different thing, since it is, more or less, mark's band.

I agree with you on everything, expect that it is "Mark's band".

I can't imagine any cd raising above MOP. Some say HC ruled the roost. For me, MOP kicked major butt. I could listen to that cd 1000 times and never get tired of it. That one had magic, a chemistry so that it all just jelled. I was skeptical of AB at first, but am now a firm believer. Myles knows how to rock. Still, I think that when the four orginal members look back and see what they're capable of, at some point, they will have to have it return.

I think MOP is the less freaking kick ass one of any Creed/AB cds.

I think you need to let go of Creed, yes they were my favorite band since 2000, but they have moved on and doin't want to look back, you're hurting the band and their fans by trying to relive the past. I don't see why you think Alter bridge will not light up thw world, they have a great new singer, and they all have gotten better musicians sicne Creed, and they're happy! Isn't that what we want?

Great post man, that's JUST how I feel!!!
