Blackbird: Everything about this album scream classic Alter Bridge. Definitely their magnum opus and most defining record. Fortress: A very close contender for the best Alter Bridge album. Not quite there with Blackbird for me but very very close. Also proof that Alter Bridge always has the potentia...

I've actually been getting into Candlebox lately. Into the Sun and Self-titled are straight 10s for me. Great stuff there

My turn to chime in! Lol I really wish that interview wasn't brought up. Its from 14 years ago, and whether Mark and the guys still have those feelings towards Stapp or not, I know mudslinging is something they are far above from now. I have to say, as much as I love Stapp and Creed, every now and t...

I'm surprised no one posted anything about SHIM's solo album. Its definitely a different vibe from Sick Puppies but there are some solid songs here for sure. I met him twice within the past year and he's a great person. Sick Puppies are also in the process of following up Fury https://www.youtube.co...

I just wish someone would tell him when you have something that connects with over 50 million people, the opinion of some guy from Rolling Stone, Blabbermouth or Pearl Jam is worth less than nothing. Ok, counterpoint and question. What about the value of the AB fans that came in totally fresh not k...

So I respect all you Creedfans over here but myself just seeing this band as the foundation for so much better bands and music afterwards. But really not believing what I’m reading now. So a succesfull band gets blown away by the ego and personality of the singer twice and the guitarplayer gets bla...

Poppy Am I a Girl? 7/10

Jerry Cantrell has recently announced a new solo concert

I was actually listening to My Own Prison, Human Clay and Weathered in honor of the vinyl re-issue and just thinking about how much I miss Creed's sound. It trips me out, had things not fallen apart where do you think the band would have gone? Clearly One Day Remains was set to be the follow up to W...

"I'm not hearing any classic Creed on the new tunes they rehearsed in 2012. It was more moody, but that's about it: the songwriting was not in the same league as the first 3 Creed records. More Than This also sounded very formulaic, and almost like a parody of someone trying to write My Sacrifi...

As a humongous Creed fan first, and AB/Tremonti fan second, I'd like to chime in on this topic. I do think for a very long time Mark was embarrassed of Creed. Partly because of Stapp's behavior, and partly because of what a meme the band became. Much like Nickelback, people just hated Creed for the ...

Interesting. When he performed acoustic in front of us he sounded fine and its pretty hard to lip sync that. I wonder why he did it here. Anyway, I wasn't sure if this was the right place for this, but I thought it would be cool to look back on this old Stapp, Tremonti and Brett Hestla collaboration...

I also dislike how when the the interviewer said yiannis sounded good on the record, when he didn't play on the record - and stapp didn't correct him. Stapps own lyrics from "Fear" - "Staying silent is a crime". He should've corrected the interviewer. Yiannis didn't write but th...

Ok, third time listening to it in full. Have a pretty solid review at this point. Firstly, I'd like to recognize Zac Maloy, Scott Stevens and Marti Fredericksen(?). When I heard they were going to be playing another role in the songwriting process for this album, I assumed the worst and I'm proud to...

Great review Nagpo. Awesome breakdown. I'll post my review later, but I had a question in regards to the writing process for the album. When I met Stapp and Yiannis, Yiannis told me that he "wrote on about half the album" but he's not listed anywhere on the writing credits. Considering Yia...

Puddle of Mudd is actually releasing an album soon, and Fuel is set to put out a new record in 2020. Tantric's Todd Whitener has also expressed interest in being in a band again, so I think that early to mid 2000s post Grunge sound might be approaching the age where nostalgia puts it in a positive l...

What I liked about Wake Up Call (only listened once til the rest of the album drops) is it does feel somewhat new for Stapp. Honestly, to me its like Stapp goes Lifehouse or maybe even later Linkin Park. Pop and commercial? Absolutely, but it did feel fresh. I do agree though that its probably purch...

double post. Still figuring the site out. Lol
