In line with a brand new interview he did with Guitar Player, Creed guitarist Mark Tremonti virtually took the band down a considerably extra metal-sounding path… if his bandmates would have allowed it.
When requested by the publication if he felt that individuals categorizing Creed as post-grunge or various metallic had any influence on the best way that he wrote songs. Tremonti stated that was not the case, however his bandmates’ completely different musical backgrounds completely contributed to the best way Creed sounded.
“No. To start with, I feel our band was like a melting pot of various types. I liked Alice In Chains and Soundgarden after they got here out however my influences got here from approach earlier than then. I used to be the metallic man within the band, whereas Scott grew up listening to a number of Elvis, the Doorways and traditional rock. He was very sheltered early on; I don’t suppose a number of rock and roll was getting performed in his home. Brian was a Rush man, Scott Phillips’ favourite band was Living Colour.
“In order the man who wrote most of Creed’s music, I’d include metallic. And they’d consistently push again on me, saying it was ‘too metallic’. I needed to match the mould with the remainder of the fellows, and that’s how we obtained our sound.”
Think about a future the place Creed performed heavy metallic. When you won’t ever get to listen to that, you possibly can catch Creed dwell, because of their packed touring schedule.
