Mark's singing
 

I was just listening to the acoustic version of MOP. In this version you can hear Marks voice very good on the chorus. Marks voice is awesome. I wonder why he didn't want to be the lead singer as well as the guitarist of his new group. You know as well as I do if he came out with a solo album it would sell a ton of records.

Re: Mark's singing
 

No. Mark cannot be a lead singer. He had pretty decent back-up vocals, that doesn't make him a good singer. He knows it. We all know it. That's why he got the best singer in the business to sing for him.

Re: Mark's singing
 

When have you heard him sing anything other than backup? How do you know he cannot sing? Before Creed was actually going to breakup wasn't he considering a solo album as a side project? Wasn't he going to sing on that one? Also, Myles is great but I don't know if he is the best singer in the business (IMO)

Re: Mark's singing
 

Name ONE other singer that isn't already taken that's better then him... One! Plus, I've heard him sing other then backup, I have a live pice on my computer where he sings a Metalica song that I at the moment can't remember the name to... And it's decent, but not okey... It's ruff... But I belive he's taking vocal lessons, and francly that's good...

Re: Mark's singing
 

Mark talked about this in an interview and he said, " I just didn't have the chops". I wish I could remember wich interview but there were just so many prior to the Alter Bridge release.

Re: Mark's singing
 

Yeah... So... He isn't a good singer... But he's a hell of a good guitar player! ;)

Re: Mark's singing
 

Mark would be okay singing but hes better with Myles.

Re: Mark's singing
 

Way better... And if you work alone, you tend to go in cirkcles... So it's better to work in pair of group...

Re: Mark's singing
 

Yeah, he has said that he's not a very good singer. I remember that interview. He might have a decent voice, but he cant really belt it out.

Re: Mark's singing
 

Yeah, he does make up for it!! :D

Re: Mark's singing
 

NO!!!!!!!!! I want Myles singing (and writing the lyrics as well) !!!! ;)

Re: Mark's singing
 

He could do a duet in a one song for the next album...It would be amazing!

Peace.

Re: Mark's singing
 

Justify,

the solo project was to have featured guitarists soloing with him: Carlos Santana, Steve Vai, Michael Angelo and Bill Peck were to be invited, but it never worked out coz they didn't have the time, specially after they decided to form a new band.

Re: Mark's singing
 

marcos, i believe he justify was talking about downshifter, not that "supergroup collaboration" you've mentioned.

and i have mark singing part of "enter sandman" and he's not bad, but there are times where his voice just doesn't cut it...mark knows that, and that's the reason he said he didn't want to sing for alter bridge.

Re: Mark's singing
 

My post was only based off of his live performance of MOP so I wasn't really saying he would be better than Myles. I really would just like to hear him sing some of his songs. Hey Creed7352, I'd like to get a copy of that "enter sandman" you have.

Re: Mark's singing
 

Cool! Because thats what your going to get!:) :)

Re: Mark's singing
 

Ya i used 2 have that Enter Sandman aswell.

Re: Mark's singing
 

I gotta ask, why are so many people down on Mark's lyrics?

Re: Mark's singing
 

I guess some of us are just really, really picky when it comes to lyrics(Uncertain and I, in particular) and just think that Mark's lyrics are a bit, well, generic. I'm not saying he's incapable of writing good lyrics, I'm just saying that I don't think he's that great of a lyricist(but he has written some really good lyrics in the past), which is why I'd prefer Myles to do the bulk of the lyrics on the next album.

Re: Mark's singing
 

Me too! ;)

Re: Mark's singing
 

When it comes to being a lead singer, Mark is an excellent guitarist!!! I like him just fine where he is.

Re: Mark's singing
 

I'm not familiar with Myles's lyrics so maybe I just don't know the difference. But I really love the lyrics on One Day Remains. Maybe I'm easily pleased.

Re: Mark's singing
 

ye i think the lyrics on one day remains are great.

Re: Mark's singing
 

Honestly you should try to listen to Mayfield Four songs --the lyrics ... are amazing.. ;)

Re: Mark's singing
 

^Exactly, Ana. I own both MF4 albums and I think they are both great lyrically, vocally and maybe even musically(Myles really IS a good guitarist). The lyrics aren't quite as good as the lyrics from the first two Creed CDs, but, they're still pretty awesome and a whole lot better than the ODR lyrics(imo).

Re: Mark's singing
 

I'll have to give the M4 albums a look then.

Re: Mark's singing
 

well mark wrote the lyrics for ODR to be more generic...he's said that in interviews in the beginning. he wanted to write lyrics that everyone could relate to in some way or another.

gregs, you don't have this enter sandman i have unless you got it from the link i put up on abb.net a few days ago. you probably had/have that video of it from italy...mine is from 4/15/05 mcallen, texas.

Re: Mark's singing
 

Picky? You like the second creed album and you call yourself PICKY?! Shame on you. ;)

To Myles: please write. Please please please.

Re: Mark's singing
 

Wow... Chris Cornell is the lead singer for Alter Bridge... this is news to me.

Re: Mark's singing
 

Well, Cornell is alsow the best, since he's lost some of his vocalrange he can't be considered THE best... But Myles gott his range, Cornell and Myles are a tight match... Plus... Myles was the best avaleble. And he's a hell of a nice person!

Re: Mark's singing
 

Well... okay Cornell is REALLY REALLY good and I think if you go back a few years he was the best. But he is older than Myles and Myles has a better voice at the moment. It is REALLY close though... Chris puts much more passion into his singing, also. But speaking technically, I think Myles has the edge. I do actually like Chris Cornell more, though.

Re: Mark's singing
 

Cornell has a great voice and I like them both, but for different resons...

Re: Mark's singing
 

I love them both...but I like Chris Cornell more. He sings with more 'passion'. ;)

Re: Mark's singing
 

Ah rite..yeah i have the one from italy lol.

Re: Mark's singing
 

Yeah...I'm a fan of CC's, too. Myles - technically the best in the biz. I think Myles will sing with more passion when he writes some of the material for the new AB album - lyrics he can relate to.

While we're on this kinda subject...

Here's a link to a PBF album review for Weathered. Two comments to take note of:

http://www.passionbreedsfollowers.co.../cougar2.shtml

1. (para 6) And there's no denying he's (Stapp) been blessed with rock's best voice since Soundgarden's Chris Cornell.

2. (para 11) Unlike Cornell, Stapp developed the early ability to keep the vocal histrionics to a minimum.

If you had a choice of the three, who would you choose to be your lead vocalist - Kennedy, Cornell or Stapp?

Re: Mark's singing
 

Myles obviously.

Re: Mark's singing
 

Who... Myles... Or, Cornell, as said before it's a close call... But I think Myles... Stapp's in the bottom on my list actually...

Re: Mark's singing
 

Hmm...I'd have to pick Myles, but Chris is virtually the same for me. And Stapp is behind them, although I still enjoy his voice.

Re: Mark's singing
 

Wow, between Myles, Chris and Scott, I'd take Chris first, Myles second, and Ashlee Simpson third.





















Of course, that is negating age. If I had to pick one for the next ten years I'd probably go Myles first since Chris seems to be tailing off a bit.

Re: Mark's singing
 

Ah..you shut up Uncertain!!:mad1: :D
