Re: Mark about a Creed reunion
Call me crazy but I think the hate Creed gets started long after the split. Or at least at any large level. So that shouldnt be a factor. Nope. I was made fun of by a TEACHER in high school in front of an entire class for being such a vocal fan. This was around 2001. They became super 'uncool' as s...

Re: The politics of Pawns & Kings
Has Mark stopped using his 'thin blue line' guitar strap since the events of 2020? I feel like he has. I often wonder about his politics. Feels likely pretty centrist to me, closer to Myles than his brother Michael for sure lmao.

Re: The politics of Pawns & Kings
Been listening to Season of Promise a fair bit, and it dawned on me that the song’s message, the whole idea of celebrating and preserving knowledge that has been passed on to us, is actually quite conservative. I don't see it. But I (a former conservative, now extremely left) have come to view Amer...

Re: Best and worst Alterbridge album
Average-based ranking (went quickly and with my gut): 7. The Last Hero (5.23/10) 6. AB III (6.42/10) 5. Fortress (6.66/10) 4. Pawns & Kings (6.70/10) 3. Walk The Sky (7.00/10) 2. Blackbird (7.30/10) 1. One Day Remains (7.36/10) A little surprising. AB III and Fortress contain some of my favorite...

Re: Ranking 'The Epics'
Respectfully slotting in 'Forever Falling' (which I adore and think is absolutely epic) over 'Dying Light' (a song I rarely revisit). Also kind of think 'Pawns & Kings' deserves the nod here over 'Fable' but based on the length, I understand. 'Pawns' would be a top 4 'epic' for me. 8. This Side ...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
i enjoyed the twists and turns of 'fable' the first couple times through but now i'm finding myself less interested in it
comparing it to 'blackbird' (a whole, united, massive work with actual hooks - kind of a miracle, really) feels absolutely wrong to me lol
still love the title track though

Re: Pawns & Kings – post release reactions & user reviews
Sin After Sin is now the big grower for me. And I like Stay more, even though I find the verses catchier than the chorus (not usually what any songwriter is going for haha).

Re: Mark about a Creed reunion
I mean he could say, "I have no interest in doing Creed, right now, but maybe check back in a few years, and maybe I'll think differently based whatever events happens by then." That's exactly what he's saying if you read between the lines like... at all. Saying there's 'no time' is a sof...

Re: Mark about a Creed reunion
It's more than clear to me that Mark is not interested in doing Creed at all and he just keeps repeating the same thing in all the interviews 'it's just a matter of timing, I'm so busy with AB and Tremonti blablabla' and then..... he gets involved in the Sinatra thing (which he's got every right to...

Re: Mark about a Creed reunion
Imagine going through a terrible divorce where a lot of hurtful words are said and it drags on for months on end. 10+ years later, your old spouse may be a better person than they were during that time… But that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to marry them again. Thank you for bringing some emotiona...

There is apparently no reasoning with Stapp fans. And the sense of entitlement is UNREAL. Wow.
