The Van Halen rumour seems to have some substance as melodicrock.com has a big story on it, and SG need to release their b-sides some time.

No, but the direction they're heading in doesn't bode well and given some of the events of the past year, it wouldn't surprise me if they had. I'm hoping they just need a little break from each other. Pearl Jam, AIC and other groups took breaks and did solo stuff before resuming their work as a group. It can be a good creative outlet.

that is true but in PJ's case I don't think it ever got as bad as this, they didn't take a year off, then basically take another take another year off to pursue solo albums with a few new tracks next year. I think that these albums in the end will be a good outlet and in the long run will benefit both the band and its fans, even if if we would much rather an album next year.

Yeah, the time factor definitely wasn't the same. Same went for AIC. They were back with Tripod in 95 and Mad Season came out in 94 I believe.

as for the people who said mark not being good lyrically or vocally. They need some sense beated into them ;).

Mark wrote the lyrics too torn, and that was one of Creed's best.
Mark sung the best line in a creed song, the chorus in "My Own Prison"

how much more evidence do you need.

Um, are you delirious, Delirium ;)? Yes, he wrote some of the lyrics, but he's known more for the sound than the words. And I beg to differ about the best line in a Creed song, but that's for another thread.

I think it will be really cool to hear the solo albums, but I still think that the one that Creed will release will be the best! I also think that Mark will make more metal and Stapp more like the music Creed is making now, but they would never do solo albums if they didn't wanted to release another sound. And hopefully we will have a DVD. There are many rumos about a DVD in 2004, but why should it be this time?

Mark is a good lyricist for example Torn and the chorus to My Sacrifice but Scott is obviously a far better writer and Mark wouldn't take offence to that. He is a good back-up singer and does a great job in MOP but he is still behind Brett and of course Scott in this area.

I really hope Creed release a massive song next year with a 20 second shredding solo, that will keep those at stetina.com happy!

If this will be the last album from Creed, I don't want Brett to join. But if they will release more I really think Brett would make Creed to the band of our dreams!

(This is mine 1,000 post!) :D

he wrote all of torn, it was his only song and he also wrote the chorus to mop. but there are only two songs in which he sings and he only does the chorus.

I know that but how awesome is it when he does sing?

kind of hard to tell when its only a few small portion, on top of that he doesnt even talk in any concert.

I think he's average, from the little I have heard him sing...Serviceable, but nothing more.

:'(

My favourite Creed song is Torn. Lyrically and musically, it's just superb...and add to that Stapp's delivery of the words. That said, of course, Stapp is the superior singer, but my favourite lyrics have come from Mark. (But then again, Stapp's vocals and lyrics have, in my opinion, gone worse and worse).

I'm excited for Tremonti, and I hope to hear his new band soon.
