Alter Bridge or Creed? | WrestleZone Forums
Creed was sticking to one style, and Tremonti (who imo is VERY TALENTED) was very limited and couldnt show his skills.
When Alter Bridge was formed, Tremonti was taking lessons from Michael Angelo Batio to improve his skills,
and Alter Bridge allowed him to show off his guitar skills, rather than be all about the singer (CREED <--)
Myles doesnt have that typical Alternative Rock voice like Scott Stapp (who sounds like hes constipated) but he does have a very nasal-like voice
which can be a bit annoying, but look at Axl Rose, he had a very screechy voice but his vocal ranges were great.
Axl can hit very high notes, and stretch those long high notes, and I find that great about him.
Myles > Scott as a singer, Tremonti (AB) > Tremonti (CREED).
You can also tell that Tremonti improved a lot with AB, because when Creed's latest album Full Circle came out,
you can hear the improvement in Tremonti's playing.
Creed is the more popular band, because they did start off first and they also had major hits including:
Higher, One Last Breath, My Sacrifice, With Arms Wide Open, and What If (imo one of their best) and
its really a shame that Alter Bridge will NEVER be the more popular band, it will always be under-rated
because its in Creed's shadow, but WE MUST CHANGE THAT.
I feel the reason AB is under-rated is because when u look at the 70's 80's and 90's, lead singers would leave
their original bands and form a newer and better bands, both bands would stay pretty popular because in that
era majority of the people enjoyed hearing what the new band could do, and those were the eras of that certain music.
Creed was pretty lucky because of that certain decade, that people were into Rock,
and Alternative Rock (Green Day, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam), People were tuning into them, and gave them a chance.
Nowadays, Alter Bridge isnt too lucky, because lets face it.. the percentage of die hard rock fans have decreased,
and music is taken over by pretty boy pop stars, and such... which is a FAIL.
I could go on and on and on...
Edit: Oh and listen to Blackbird and Broken Wings.. the intro music is just BEAUTIFUL!
