As a huge band out of the post grunge movement Creed are well known to this day. But various members struggled with addiction problems that were so significant that they hardly could play a "proper" show. The consequence: After a weak performance in 2002 concert goers even sued the band! The internal fights increased, Creed disbanded (the reunion didn't happen before 2009). But the disbandment also brought one positive aspect: Instantly after it, Mark Tremonti, Brian Marshall and Scott Philipps (former Creed members), started the band ALTER BRIDGE together with lead singer Myles Kennedy, a band that was not so much influenced by the grunge era but more by 80s hard rock and metal.

Discography: Alter Bridge

Their debut album ONE DAY REMAINS was released in 2004 - Whilst it couldn't quite match the huge success Creed had, it was naturally certified gold (containing the legendary hit 'Metalingus').

The second record, BLACKBIRD, came out in 2007. Above all the title track stood out, in 2011 it was even awarded the 'Greatest Guitar Solo Of All Time' and won against bands like Guns N’ Roses and Pink Floyd. After Alter Bridge changed their label to Roadrunner Records, record #3 was released with the name AB III (October 2010). It included the song 'Isolation', which is the most successful single from the band to date.

In 2012 the Alter Bridge instrumental members started touring with Creed again. Guitarist Tremonti emphasized though that he will continue writing music for both bands. The reunion and other (solo)projects later led to a break until the next release.
