Same here. He's the one behind their sound. I look at what Jerry Cantrell has done since Alice In Chains' first album Facelift, which was pretty good for a debut. He's always had the cool harmonies and crunching rock. What he's done with guitar layering and vocals on his latest solo effort (Degradation Trip Vols 1 & 2) is miles from Facelift (1990). It's amazing and far more intricate. Every time I listen to it I discover something new. I'm hoping for the same from Creed.
