LOL....My Sacrifice -- Creed, hence Creedish :D. That's no slight or anything :)

The lyrics definitely aren't Creedish at all, in my opinion. The music....yeah, I can see the resemblence on some of the songs. OYE and DTML being the main songs I can hear the similarities, but I think that comes from the fact that it is the same guys who wrote the music for Creed, so of course it's going to sound a bit similar.

I'm hoping Myles has a greater input in the next album 'cause the guy is a very good songwriter. Not much point having that talent there and just being Mark's voicebox.

In my opinion AB will always have a Creed flavor. We had 3 members of Creed there and the sound that they know to do is this sound, not Creedish, but Markish, Phillipish and Marshallish.

Of course, Myles can bring something new to the scene, but we still have the three guys there. And I think this is not bad. In my opinion is amazing, cause I being in love with their music when they were Creed.

Peace.

very true.... ILM was a good song, but it was kinda weird thinking "Myles is singing it so passionately, but it's for Mark & his memory of his mother"

MWAHAHAHAHA!!!

I'm back!

lol, ummm... yeah, not sure where that came from... strangely enough, I'm not even REALLY back since I am still gone and have only got a ten minute chance to get on the internet... oh well. I'm ALMOST back.

Either way... I hate to say this but I think... *looks around furtively*

I might like MF4 more than AB

WHOA. Did I just say that? I might have. I think MF4 had reached a level of originality that AB hasn't yet.

However, I am DEFINITELY hopeful that AB is going in that direction. If Myles gets more input (especially in lyrics... I was so dissapointed by AB lyrics), AB will just be... awesome-er. I know that isn't a word, but, oh well.

As for AB sounding Creedish... The songs that sound creedish are:

OYE
BW
ILM
DTML
SMS
TEIH

Only OYE and BW sound creedish THROUGHOUT but all of them have very creed moments. But apparently the next album will be heavier and hopefully we will be rid of all these Creedisms... I mean, before you all jump on me, I know there will always be a CERTAIN amount of Creedishness in AB. But If we could have more RIFFS instead of chord progressions... Then I will be in heaven.

But really, I am really happy right now with both AB and all the MF4 stuff I have been hearing... It all rocks. It's all good. Now if we can just put the best of both together, the world's greatest band will emerge...

ROCK ON!!! (yeah I'm hyper)

:laugh: That made me laughish out loudish. Sorry. :laugh:

No problemo Terry, you're always welcome! And I've been inspired by Marcos! :D

I think I feel the same way. The lyrics and sound that the MF4 has is much more original than AB. They kind of blend blues with rock, especially on the Fallout album. The lyrics are also more complex than AB's.

With that being said, Mark is incredible with writing music to fit the lyrics. If Myles writes the majority of the lyrics on the next album, and Mark does his thing with the music, AB will put out one hell of an album.

Exactly. If we could just get Myles to write his awesome lyrics and Mark to write his awesome riffs...

*drools*

Yeah, I agree, that would be pretty awesome.

me too
:rockout:
:pant:
:tremonti:

Myles rules...

hey keep that in the proper thread buster! ;)

oops...sorry, AC, I'll keep it on topic...the Mayfield Four rules!!!!
