I recently saw that Limp Bizkit is back together with it's original lineup and a friend of mine mentioned that Creed was getting back together and I just finally checked it out today.
After nearly 6 years apart, all four members of Creed are back for a reunion tour and new album due out in August. I am not quite sure what to feel about this news. I was a huge Creed fan back in the day but I am an even bigger fan of Alter Bridge. For those of you who are confused, Alter Bridge is 3 of the 4 original members of Creed that formed after Creed's breakup in 2003. I thought that Creed had a really great arena rock sound and great lyrical content that seemed to transcend genres. Alter Bridge is a bigger, badder and better melody-driven hard rock band that showcases one of this generation's greatest guitarist and vocalist, Mark Tremonti and Myles Kennedy, respectively.
The news is quite confusing as well. Creed is back together yet Alter Bridge has not broken up. So there are 2 bands with 2 different lead singers who will continue to make music in the future.
The schedule looks like this:
Summer 2009 - Creed's reunion tour and new album
Myles Kennedy (AB singer) will put out a solo record
Sometime in 2010 - Alter Bridge's new album and world tour
So it looks like the best of both worlds for Creed and Alter Bridge fans and if nothing else really great rock music to define our generations sound!
