I wanted to answer him, but I couldn't find his tweet just a few minutes after he had sent it to me (he must have deleted it, but I still have the email if you doubt the tweet ever existed). Anyway, I won't waste my time trying to convince him Elvis is not the greatest producer on Earth. It's all a ...

Speaking of videos, do you guys remember there were some cameras during the tracking of the solo album ? We could see them on some Twitter pics. I wonder if we'll ever see some footage of those recording sessions.

I am definitely not a fan of Elvis' production. There are parts that sound really lifeless sonically. But after listening to a lot of the bands Elvis has worked with I think he helps the bands write good songs. I think he has a good ear for songs and definitely provides a good input as far as arran...

I told Mark on twitter that having your 3 projects produced by the same guy may confuse fans (and by that I meant it would be sometimes quite hard to tell the difference between songs from a project to another, but hey, it's twitter, and it's only 140 signs). I also said kurzweg was definitely THE m...

In december 2010, he had a webcam chat with fans, and he played a few snippets from his solo album demos :

Some of the best and the most awful news at the same time. :crazy Elvis producing a Creed record absolutely ruins my hopes of a return to the real Creed sound. Seriously, this man should stick to modern rock and not mess with groove oriented bands. He just has no clue how to produce that kind of stu...

So in part 3 at 6:56, Mark says he's gonna tour for his solo album in september/october, and maybe even in november. I guess that means no tour dates or studio time for Creed.

It's not paranoia. It's just that when you hear him talk about Creed, he sounds as passionate about it as he was 12 years ago. Maybe it's because he doesn't have a couple of successful projects on the outside, I don't know, but when he says Creed is his number one priority and will always be, I tend...

New tweet from Scott Stapp :

Anxious and excited 2get in the studio and record these new Creed tunes. As soon as band breaks from their other projects, it's on!

How come he's the only one who seems to really care about Creed these days ?

I've checked out a couple of threads.
There is a lot of pessimism on this new board, and some of the members seem quite pissed at Mark for releasing his solo album during "Creed's time".

Whatever it is that they do though, the one thing that they absolutely HAVE to do is evolve. Whether that means evolving stylistically or staying the same but making better songs, they've GOT to evolve. I'm not sure they can or even want to evolve. Everyone keeps telling them how great they are, an...

Anybody else feel Mark isn't giving Creed enough attention? I mean, they were supposed to record last month and this month. But he seems more preoccupied with his solo CD. +1 This solo record was supposed to be released months ago, and 2012 was also supposed to be Creed's year. I thought they were ...

@Them Bones : it's 2009 all over again, except Mark has a solo record to promote ! Considering how slow things are right now, I don't know how they could record a full album before the end of the year. They have tour dates in a couple of weeks, and they have to rehearse before, so it probably won't ...

and from the snippets we've heard, "All I Was" looks like it will be by far my least favourite record of Mark Tremonti's career. Hmm, sounds like it'll be one of my favorites he's done so far. I agree Andy. And im glad that kid doesn't like it, im glad he is so let down. Bathe in your mis...

Overall, I think the album would have been much better if Mark had not tried to push his melodic choruses down our throats. I mean, almost all songs have good parts, but also, all songs are ruined by predictable arrangements. I can't believe it's the same guy who wrote My Own Prison, Human Clay, Wea...

Now, after hearing all those new songs, I would love to know why fans who were at the album listening party said this album was epic and WAY different from Alter Bridge and Creed's material. Did you guys overreact because Mark was in the room with you ? My brief opinion about each song (or long snip...

According to wikipedia, the album had 3 producers : John Kurzweg, Ron Saint Germain and Scott Stapp.

For me, this song goes nowhere.
It's a shame, because I liked the snippet and thought it showed potential. This tune would have deserved a long solo ala Brand New Start.

First impressions. I don't like "All I Was" at all (the vocals made me cringe). "Wish you Well" is alright instrumentally (I wish it had last a couple more minutes), but extremely repetitive lyrically. You can tell Mark is no frontman yet during the technical difficulties. I gues...

They are always going to have deadlines to work with, especially with the schedule they have going. That's pretty much why IMHO this 2 band situation can't last much longer, or else fans may start noticing the quality of the new output is declining. Someday, they'll have to choose between AB and Cr...
