If we consider Mark wanting to make a throwback to 70's rock and metal, then as far as technical ability goes, Scott isn't good enough. Scott isn't good enough for a lot of different types of music, say prog, opera, jazz etc. This isn't to defame Stapp - just pointing out his abilities. When you hear the AB album, you'll tell straight away that Stapp won't be able to sing the way Myles does on the album, and that's the kind of singing Mark is looking for at the moment. Myles singing Creed material would be equally silly - it wouldn't suit his voice too. It all depends on the music - If Mark wanted to make classical music all of a sudden, he'd then get an opera singer.
It was for Creed, but for AB, a different kind of passion is needed.
That's a non-sequitor. Creed's music will have very little to do with AB, other than a semi-ready made fan base, and financial abilities. Creed's music will not have an effect on AB's music. AB is going in a different direction - a direction that focuses far more on musicianship and technicality.
