Re: Creed 5
I've never heard of a record label owning the rights to a band's name. It must expire at some point though if that is indeed the case.
But what people don't get is that the reason it sounds like Alter Bridge is because that's where the guys are now, musically speaking. The Tremonti sound has evolved into this. What else can they do to make it sound like "classic" Creed than to take two steps back and use all drop-d power chords? I just think fans who are still stuck in the last decade will never like new material done by Creed because it's impossible for it to sound the same.
I also don't know what difference to the melodies or riffs would make if Stapp hadn't been coming and going. He never had that much impact on the music, did he? Didn't he always just sell himself as the lyricist?
