I won't tell you to get over it. Truthfully....I would rather have Creed back. Whether that will ever happen...who knows. I would rather they be happy doing something else than miserable otherwise. When all of this talk of a new band came about....I really did wish everyone the best of luck. Maybe I don't feel that way now....but I don't wish bad luck on anyone. But, like you, I'm not exactly wowed by Alter Bridge...and that's made me an outcast a some places that I visit. Telling me I'm stupid if I cant see the genius in it. If I listened to other people's opinions rather than mine about my musical choices.....I would have never listened to Creed.
Just wait it out....there will be other stuff to listen to in August....and then again in....oh....I'm guessing maybe October, November.
