yeah

It has been told, by a good source(Mike, Marks brother)....that he is in the band....and I know from my source...he is in the band. Brian also has his own band Head Heavy....He will be doing both projects....Check out the website HeadHeavy.com. It is not complete, but you can read about the band...The music is awesome!!! :D

Damn I can't listen to the music because I don't have speakers. :( Oh well.

So he will be doing both? That's alot to handle, wonder if he will be able to hold it all

Yes...he can do both....he lives in the same town (well very close)....and he has his own recording studio in his home...His band has been working together for a very long time, and almost have there CD ready.(it still maybe a few months)..working on artwork for there cd cover....

But still, I mean dealing with 2 bands at once is alot to deal with. I'm not saying that he can't, I'm just saying it will be hard, that's all.

I think Brian will have no trouble handling both but I wonder how Mark and Scott Philips reconciled their issues with Brian and how they came to form their new band with him. Back to Brian having two bands that should be no problem I don't think Head Heavy are ever going to become a very big band and plenty of guys are in 2 or more bands.

Oh true. I don't know, I mean seeing that Creed have gone their seperate ways, there may be alot of tension between them all coming to terms with how they are going to cooperate and how they are going to produce their music.

But I know that Marshall is passionate, I hope he holds it all together, and I'm looking forward mostly for what's to come.

Its not certain that Marshall will reunite with Creed though considering that it seems that Stapp and Marshall rub eachother the wrong way resulting in some fisty cuffs!

It would be awesome if Brian Marshall could get get back with Creed again. He did an awesome job as a bassist on MOP and HC! But if they want to try something new without Stapp I'll support it. I'm just glad Brian Marshall came back into the music scene. :)

I love your avie, Alisha.

Yeah, I'll support them in whatever happens, whatever they decide to do, because I'm sure it will be great.

I'm really not sure how I feel about Marshall joining, in fear about what could happen, I guess. I just don't know, it could be awesome, and it could turn out not so good. Guess we'll have to wait and see what happens! :)

You should not feel that way!! Marshall is an orginal member..the guys always had chemistry.....It is gonna be fine ;)

yeah

Thanks, I love it too! I could stare at it all day..... ;)

I can tell ya....NO, Brian will not play in any band with Stapp!!

and you are? introduce yourself.

well...why not?

I believe time heals.It can seem impossible today, but who knows the future? Besides, if he's getting along with Mark and Flip, a lil pression on Stapp and Brian could make the peace.

God, one can only hope to think that brian and stapp would get along again or flip and tremo. If that happend, creed would be a complete band again, and not a bassless band. One thing I fault, creed and primarily stapp is not replacing marshall with a good bassist to fill the void that was left on weathered.

I know this is not just me, but when you see a creed video from my sacrifice to DSD, don't hey look just a tad bit odd with out bassist as to the videos of whats this life for to WAWO?

But, then we will have tremo, brian, flip and a new singer and just imagine what thats going to be.

Very, very true. Anything can happen.

No, not at all.

I'm glad to know somebody is in the same mindset as me. :)

It will be what it will be, won't know 'till it happens...but it still sounds like Creed without Stapp to me.

~ann~

True I just hope this band doesn't become a poorer version of Creed, one without Stapp. Hopefully they do something different not make the same music but with a different singer. Anyhow i'm exited to see what they all do and I'll be buying them on release date. Hopefully we get a full Creed album in 2005!

I hope they don't got totally different, like a totally different approach to rock, I hope they do still have that hint of Creed.

But we'll see, and yeah I will be buying it on the release date too. :D

meh

Creed was the very esscense of creed with stapp/tremo or the main core. Now that tremo is going to have such a strong hold with this I don't hink your going to get much of hint O creed. The new songer is also going to determine this.

My prediction is that it's going to be very riff savy, and a little more on the hard side. Who knows, but I'm excited.

Yeah that's true I guess. But I think there will be just a little Creed touch there. I hope so, anyway.

Yeah no kidding Tremo is going to go hard, and it's gonna kick some major ass.

I also prectict that there will be some killer sreddidge. Just him feeding off of brian and vice versa like the MOP AND HC days.

Yeah, I agree. I'm looking forward to it, too. I just hope it rocks hard!

Since Mark had such a big hand in writing Creed's first 3 albums the music first and foremost there are going to be similarties between Creed and this new band. But I expect that it will be heavier, a lot more shreddage and it also remains to be seen what type of singer they find. If there is a singer that sounds like Stapp even if the music is different comparsions will be made.

Hopefully Brian and Scott also do some writing, and there are some drum and bass solos as well!

I hope the singer sounds totally different. I would hope they wouldn't be out to re-create Creed, which I don't think they will be. Comparisons will be made anyway, but more so if the singer resembles Stapp. If he's going harder, I would think he'd want more of a Maynard or James H sound. Somebody who can scream with the best of them :D.

i would think they wouldn't be trying to re-create Creed I would be devestated if he sounds like Morrison, Vedder, Stapp or any other deep-throated lead singer. A James Hetfield style singer would be good but someone that can sing not just yell. Listen to St.Anger when he actually tries to sing youch! Someone that sounded like Cornell or someone who at least has the range would be awesome but they don't grow on trees, they are much rarer then the deep throaters.

Someone like Lajon Witherspoon would be perfect!

help me with windows media player, i am haveing trouble downloading some music from a site. I made the mistake going thru aol to listen to it, and there i have troubleing with it.

thanks

what can't you work out just left click if you want to open the file or right click and go down to save if you want to save it!

Of course it's going to have some kind of akin to creed. I mean, with 1/3rd of creed brian, flip and mark your still going to have the distinctive tremo PRS sound, and those groovy bass lines of marshall. Don't take this the wrong way, but I always found flip to be an ordnary drummer, but still.

Still, I'm wondering if it's official if marshall is going to be in the band. The sentiment remains as to his musical input to this yet to be named band. Does not your your couriocity rise about this? And don't forget to mention the new singer, and like many have said, I would rather not have a nasaly voiced singer, something completely different.

So, after it's all said and done and the albums out, I wonder if there will be a fan divide where the fans of stapp will be sour to thus, and the fans of tremo, brian and flip will be the defenders? Hmm.....

about flip's drumming he's not john bonham or danny carey or even dave grohl but he does his job well and I think Weathered showed an improvement ie:Signs. SubmerseD have used him and Creed picked him and have stuck with him so he must be okay! I agree with you in that he's not the greatest drummer, he's an average drummer but not ordinary!

I really hope there is no divide among Creed fans even if this hiatus is long-term!

If stapp is realsing a solo album, he's going to have to tour to support it, so it's going to be for at least a few years, who knows. I'm starting to think with this stapp/tremo parting ways thing that it could be on a permanent level.

perhaps not assuming both albums are released some time during the middle of the year the new band will tour for the remainder of the year. Stapp may not do an extensive tour perhaps play smaller venues since the music probably isn't suited to an arena and their may not be enough demand either.

I'm not sure if there are any issues but I wonder if this new band will be a one off album or it will end up more like APC where its not a side-project but a second major focus!

Perhaps. On another aspect, I think this new band will have a bigger impact then people think. There are just as many stapp fans as tremo fans right? And both of them were in one of the top selling bands of the late 90's and early 00's, right? Well, with three out of four thats bound to be at least godsmack big.

I don't know. maybe not. I mean, it was years between Tool's Aenima and Lateralus. Both Tool and APC are still bands, so who knows?

Dude don't start that siding stuff again. :( If there is going to be a fan divide, then that will just piss me off. :mad1: I defenitly are going to support both bands, with anything they do. I'm sure their music is going to be awesome, their true talent will stay with them for the rest of their lives and they will make it show and their magic will come out more in these new bands that are going to be forming.

Just thinking of people siding between Stapp, and Tremo/Flip/Marshall just get's me so heated up, I hope there is none on that, especially on this board.
But I don't know, I mean we'll just have to hold tight and wait.

I agree with you Hayley. I don't want to see that either. Personally, I'm interested in what all of them will be doing and working on.
