Mark's band is kind of like Audioslave. They won't sell ridiculous amount of records, but they will still go platinum. And they go platinum due to their talent and not due to their image (like most bands).

I don't think it really matters anyway. I think Tremonti is doing this for fun. Music seems to be his passion.

good comparison, two bands with already established names so already an established core audience and that will grow depending on the quality and marketablity of the music produced. lets face it mark will probably never have two songs that are as popular as wawo and higher ever again, but his music will still sell to the rock masses because it is great rock music. a perfect circle is probably also similar, sell on the basis on the music not on image (although having a drawcard like keenan always helps).

I think the diehard Creed fans will give it a chance. But, the new band might not reach the same popularity that Creed had. Myself, I don't care for Myles Kennedy's voice, but I would get the CD because it's Mark and Mark is part of Creed.

i don't think it will be as popular as Creed but that doesn't too much, but I must say I love Myle's voice. Fantastic singer technically, just awesome in that respect.

ya know, the only way to answer this question would be to hear what their music is going to sound like. As was said, music appears to be Marks passion...and and like Audio Slave, yes...this new band is pieced together.

Thing is tho, until the general public hears what they have to offer, and people see how it will go over...just like with any band out there, brand new, or former members of another group...they will have to pay their dues, and see what happens. No one can give an answer as to whether they will make it or not until then.

FUCK WHAT EVERYONE ELSE THINKS.
Some of the GREATEST bands out there right now Aren't Commercially Acceptable. Frankly, Right now most of what's Popular SUCKS. All The POP SHIT has poisened people's Minds. It's Time For The Real Guitarists to Reign again, even if no one likes them!

Well, first off, with the whole issue about tremontis band not being popular... Think about all the people that really like creed, like us. Then think about all the people that didnt like creed because of their religious meanings in songs, but who liked tremonti. Now, think about all the people that like whoever the new lead singer is from. thats quite a fan base! also, think about all the people that want to hear marks full potential. There are a lot of people that i know that didnt like creed strictly because of scott stapp, i dont know what the reason was behind that, but it happens. So, I think that the new band will be very very popular, and yes, pop/punk is killing us all...i cant go out and listen to a band without it being a punk/pop band, its sickening. Guitarists now a days are so sloppy and have no technique, no finess, they are 2 chord supermen, and tremonti is definitly a breath of fresh air over all the idiots with instruments that make it big today

Mark's band has a very good chance at being famous. Creed fans will be open to buying their album. They also have great talent and I'm sure there will be MTV viewers that will think they're "cool".

I think, unless the music world of today has just gotten so bad that people don't know something good when they hear it, the new band will do just fine! Personally I hope they start out small so that we can get to see them in the smaller venues and bars and such, but I do want, and think, that they will be playing the bigger venues soon enough.

Why don't we hear it first before we worry about whether it will fail? Sheesh, I'm sorry, but I'd like to give it a chance before I speculate on its success or failure.
