This still just doesn't add up completely. A few people have made some interesting observations on here already...

There's Myles' quote from his myspace where he says this is a 'complex situation' and 'it had to be done...' 'Don't forget we're (Alter Bridge) here to stay,' he adds.

There's a new Creed album coming out that's already got a title?? So the guys are going to write, reherse, and bang out a new record by August just like that? Have they been working in secret or something, at the same time Mark and Myles have been working on Alter Bridge III?

Alterbridge.com has a re-assuring news update saying how AB isn't breaking up and will be 'back with a vengance in 2010,' then directs fans to MK's myspace with the interesting quote mentioned above.

All speculation of course, but this just doesn't sound like a naturally occurring event...more like Wind-Up once again pulling the strings to get what they want just as much as any Creed fan...more Creed.

I don't doubt that this will all pan out, and I'm sure it'll probably be great, it just seems the circumstances are a bit fishy.

Could Mark, Flip, and Brian still be prisoners of Wind-Up and the Creed days? Did they agree to one last horrah in exchange to get out of those shackles once and for all??
