Oh fuck tell me this isn't true

[yomaster]

I saw an add that Creed is on tour. If I start hearing radio adds playing clips of 'can you take me higher' and 'legs wide open' I'm going to commit suicide.

Those fuckers better not have a new album!!!! Why couldn't they have stayed broken up. Shit!!!

Creed’s Scott Stapp Calls Reunion “A Renewing and a Rebirth”

Five years after their highly acrimonious split, Creed are reforming for a new album and an American tour, which kicks off August 6th in Pittsburgh and runs through October 14th. “I wouldn’t call it a reunion,” says singer Scott Stapp. “It’s a renewing and a rebirth. I missed my boys and wanted to create music with them again. We’re all thrilled to have a second chance to make a first impression.”

The reconciliation began last December when Stapp reached out to Creed guitarist Mark Tremonti. They agreed to meet up at the Hard Rock Hotel in Florida before Stapp sang the “National Anthem” at the Champs Sports Bowl. “I was nervous, but also excited because I knew Mark would bring nothing but positivity,” says Stapp. “We exchanged family pictures and within 20 minutes we were jamming on acoustic guitars and talking about new songs.” They soon met up with drummer Scott Phillips and bassist Brian Marshall, who left Creed in 2000 but is returning for the new album and tour. “At that meeting we were collectively saying, ‘Hey man, I’m sorry if I hurt you or my choices did anything to cause you any pain. I have nothing but love and forgiveness for you and I hope you can forgive me. It’s all part of the process of reflection and not looking back at the six months out of 10 years that were trying.”

Stapp and Tremonti already have six demos for the new album, which they plan on recording shortly in Nashville. They are currently looking for a producer. “We’re reached out to Brendan O’Brien, Mutt Lange, Bob Rock, Steve Lillywhite and six or seven more,” says Stapp. “We want to put ourselves around the best and have them bring out the best in us and challenge us as artists.” The likely title track is “Full Circle.” “It’s a favorite for all of us,” says Stapp. “It really defines and articulates, melody-wise and lyrically, what’s happened with us. We’ve come full circle and it’s a great place to be. The goal is get release the first single before the tour and have the album come out during the tour or right after.”

What’s the status of Stapp’s long-in-the-works second solo disc? “I’m not really thinking about that right now,” he says. “It would be irresponsible for me to think about anything but Creed. This band is my first love and a first love that’s stood the test of time. It’s not hard to step away from any kind of personal agenda when you are totally fulfilled.”

Never paid much mind to them. Don't have any of their albums & just know of them from TV & radio play. Doesn't bother me. I say good for their fans. I hope they enjoy it and every second they are together like it's their last. All of us here know what that is like.

True dat - I will endeavour to do my best to ignore this band however.

Different strokes...........

[THEDOCTOR]

You mean you wont welcome them.........With arms wide open?

[Pennypacker]

Does this mean that Alter Bridge is no more ?!?!?!?

Good, I think I might go give "Weathered" a listen, try and get back into these guys again

[Pennypacker]

Damn, guess not:

The extent of Creed's reunion is still unknown as to whether or not the reformation of the band is permanent.

It was posted on the Alter Bridge's myspace page a blog stating that Alter Bridge by no means has plans of breaking up as a band.

Hello Alter Bridge Nation, In light of the recent news that is circulating, we thought we would calm some of your fears. There are three main things we want you to know...
1) We have absolutely no plans to break up. Alter Bridge forever!
2) We have a live DVD coming out this summer and then in 2010 we will be back with a vengeance with a new album and a world tour.
3) All four of us are still brothers in music and there is no discord between us.
Please check out Myles' Myspace page and we thank all of you for your support and understanding. Alter Bridge

Take that with a grain of salt, Pen. Earlier, Tremonti was quoted as saying he had not talked to Stapp in years, and had no plans to reform Creed. This would indicate the guy's word is about as solid and reliable as Edward Van Halen's.
