I think the one thing that still has me "ancy" and such about AB and Stapp's solo efforts is the record lable.

I mean, yeah Wind-Up gave Creed a chance when other lables wouldn't...but WU's now faced with a scenario they haven't had before. More than one successful band going at a time.

Yeah, they had Creed hit it big...but none of their other bands were really hitting till Evanescence hit it. Now, Creed's "done" and they've really only had Eva.

Now, they've got...new 12Stones, Submersed, AND Alter Bridge scheduled to hit in late summer/early fall. What will WU do if those bands happen to hit? Finger 11 has started to finally catch on, but no where to the degree EVa has. Right now, aside from Creed, Evanescence is WU's $$ maker.

What if one of those 3 bands hits and hits BIG? If they out-do Eva?
I think it'll be a real test to WU to see if they can handle more than one mega-successful band at a time....and I think THAT has me bitting my nails for 12Stones (they deserve some success!!), Submersed (release the album already!), and Alter Bridge.


(ok I kinda rambled...but did I make any sense? LOL)

you have a point but Wind-Up has been out for a while now and has grown organically not through takeovers and mergers. a few points;

-will Evanesence be successful without Ben Moody's songwriting?
-will Amy Lee go solo in the medium future?
-how much success will Alter Bridge and to a lesser extent Submersed have?

the situation was much better for Wind-Up less then 12 months ago IMO, with Creed and Evanesence in strong positons, now we have Creed at least in hiatus and Evanesence losing their main riff writer.
