Quote: If you want to continue to compare Alter Bridge to Creed ( ), then at least look at it this way. When Creed was at the point in their career that AB is at now, did they have a song charting at Bilboard, a video charting at VH1, message boards abuzz online, etc....without even having released a CD yet?

Creed was A NEW BAND when they started...they had all all the misgivings and the struggles that everyone starting out has to face to take themselves where they wanted to go...AB is like a kid that was born with a silver spoon in their mouth...they don't need to struggle, they have already shown their work as Creed...and already have a following...something that Creed built one fan at a time from total scratch.

as you said, TRX, your compairison is "rediculous" to say the least...people knew going out of the gate that no matter how much AB would say they were a NEW BAND...that they would still be held to their past connections with Creed....and if they didn't realize that these compairisons were going to be made...then that was due to their own ignorance.

Compairisons will continue...whether some people like it or not...time will tell if AB will surpass Creed or not...more than likely, they will be well known for what they do as AB eventually, and i wish good luck to them...but by all appearences...they are still living off their pervious incarnation as Creed...something that Creed didn't have the luxury of doing.
