"We're blown away by our new sound"

Tremonti calls the new batch of songs "a great new chapter in the Creed songbook," but he did say that a few pieces that Stapp had been working on for a long-delayed second solo album "finally found their home. Scott brought in some verses from things he was tinkering around with, and we made them Creed."
According to the guitarist, the band is planning to record an album in May or June before hitting the road this August. "We're just starting to talk to producers now. Howard Benson and Michael Baskette are on our short list. We have to move fast, because we definitely want the record done before we begin the tour."
And what does Tremonti see for the future of Creed, to say nothing of Alter Bridge? "It's baby steps for Creed," he says. "We're going to see how we make it through this album and tour, although we're not looking at this as a one-off; we would like to make Creed an ongoing band once again.
"As for Alter Bridge, there's no question we're going to continue. Myles has given us his full support - as we did when it looked like he might sing with Led Zeppelin - and he knows that Alter Bridge is going to go on. In fact, right after we're done with the Creed tour, we're going right back in to cut a new Alter Bridge album."
Next week: MusicRadar will report on Mark Tremonti's guitar instructional DVD The Sound And The Story, with details of a special giveaway.
I just do not understand why record the third album from Alter Bridge! Creed is that it transmits emotion ... are your songs that help us in the most difficult times of life and not the Alter Bridge! Creed forever! To get my happiness complete enough they only pay the Creed! definitely love Creed! I love them! I only see them together! Thanks for CREED BACK!

OMG that was so funny I just pooped. But serious, just as i was giving tremonti and crew respect, they went and did something stupid like this.
I have to admit, I have a Stapp infection.
Thanks for posting this! With so much bad news being posted it's good to see some positivity!!!! Everyone wants to hate. yeah, I'd like to see them go triple DIAMOND, sell 35 millions records, right? exactly.
This is the BEST news I’ve ever heard…in my entire life. The one band that actually improved people’s lives by giving them a second Christ to look up to and give true hope that life can be worth living! Scott Stapp will be remembered as the songwriter of our generation, not to mention easily the best SHOW of our Millenia! Even his National Anthem soars skyscraper-height over Aretha’s inaugural rendition! I love Aretha, who doesn’t, but Scott dominates... and we should bestow upon him the honor and rock-god glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
