Alter Bridge Vs Creed
 

Hey this is my first Thread..

Creed or Alter Bridge.. Who do you think is better and why.

I like both bands but Alter Bridge does it for me...

I like Myles Kennedy's voice more than Scott Stapp.

And i think Tremonti plays better in Alter Bridge aswell

These threads are banned.

We've changed our minds again on VS polls. They have the potential to become very interesting discussions if they are heavily moderated. So I'll let this one continue... but I don't think it's going to be too active since it's Alter Bridge and Creed.

Honestly if it wasn't for the vocals I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between these two bands. Though in Altar Bridge there's more soloing, which can go either way for different people. I don't really care for either of these bands much at all. I really hate this post-grunge and Cornell wannabe type shit.

I love Creed. Haven't heard Alter Bridge...

I don't think I can think of two worse bands:\

Here we go again...:rolleyes:

Creed with a different singer basically, same members. This was there big song a few years ago.

I could actually spend hours watching Creed videos, the sheer comedy value of them. Still you can't underestimate the vocal stylings of Scott Stapp. I'm gonna download Weathered! And Altarbridge, you know what your getting with a name like that. Truly this is music for fanatics and fools:crazy:

I hate the sound of their guitars, just sound so, plastic.

Wow...that really is just Creed with a different singer. O.O...surprisingly it did nothing for me.:\

I hate it when bands change singers, it never works out...at least they had the decency to change the name...

I wonder what happened to Stapp...:|

I don't know why I know this I probably just do because it was in the press for awhile. Basically Stapp was/is a douchebag and the band got sicked of it and broke off and formed Altar Bridge and left him to running around singing Creed songs by himself. The singer was in some other band before this, with like Four in their name I think or something about weather I don't really remember. There was also something about Stapp not letting the band have enough control, particularly Tremonti (sp?) he wasn't allowed to do a bunch of solos or some ****.

Oh God that's sad. :(

the main thing that i liked when i heard altar bridge was tremonti's playing. No one would ever know he was as talented as he is, if he was still in creed.

In my opinion Alter Bridge does not come close to Creed. Creed had many catchy well written albums/songs. (Weathered , Human Clay) While Alter Bridge seems to be a much less catchy not as well written copycat.

and plus, Scott Stapp made creed happen.

And that should be sin enough.

AlterBridge should have toured with AudioSlave and it could have been called the "so much potential but no clear vision" tour.

Hahaha thats very true. Audioslave especially, with one of the best singers and guitarists couldn't make to many spectacular songs.

well the singer in alterbridge is damn good. he just has nothing interesting to sing about, or any decent composition to sing. It makes you long for the 50's when talented people were allowed to write ****, and the people who could sing sang.

I'm forever torn on that argument though. Nothings sweeter than one guided brilliant vision, and for a great few we reap amazing rewards from it. But some of the better films were amazing coordination between actors, writers and directors.

Art is a mother****er...

hahaha, aint that the truth.

Do you want some help?

Since Alter Bridge is basically Creed w/o Scott Stapp, and Scott Stapp created the sound that put Creed on the map, obviously Creed is better.

Nah, bro. It has nothing to do with that, and everything to do with which band has the better songs. So that ought to be the focus.

A song can be good, but w/o a strong voice to sing it all you've got is a nice little poem. But Creed did have better songs than Alter Bridge. I still get chills every time I hear "My Own Prison."

Thats is not true at all. Some of the best pieces of music in history have been instrumental. I think quality playing does more than any voice ever could.

I was obviously referring to lyrics. W/o a strong voice the LYRICS to a song are nothing more than a nice lil poem. What good would a strong voice to in an instrumental:rolleyes:

Scat.

Like it it skittly boop dee deep pa

/scat

****ing funniest thing I've read all day.

Creed broke up because Scott Stapp was, and still is, highly addicted to achohol. He couldn't perform live at all(even worse than Scott Weiland and Slash are rumored to during Velvet Revolver concerts). The band eventually just got sick of the way they're shows were losing money and reputation. So they broke up. Scott has release one(or maybe two, I dunno) solo albums, but I've heard they're both pretty crappy.

That said, Creed's vocals were much better with the exception of Alter Bridge's "Rise Today", in my opinion. The drumming, soloing, and invigorating vocals that Myles somehow summons for once make it a huge hit for me. Plus, I recently saw them live with Papa Roach, Three Days Grace, and Another Animal(look them up if you like Godsmack and you haven't heard yet), and they pulled a hella tight show for the equipment they were using.

All in all, Creed>Alter Bridge.

Now, if only Scott would get off the bottle...

wait, is the op serious? wow i thought he was kidding.

both bands suck large hairy sacks of pig dung, but then again thats my opinion :)

Dude, you live in Bucketheadland.

You aren't allowed to have an opinion.

:clap:, wow, maybe next time you can post something that actually has some meaning to it instead of writing like you're a 6 year old. :bonkhead:

..thats you're opinion huh?, ok, now support it.

It's really not that hard to support. Both bands play dull radio post-grunge except the difference is one has more guitar wanking and the other is fronted by a Chris Cornell wannabe.

They're both pretty mediocre bands at this point.

I loved Creed when they first came out because I thought Scott Stapp had an awesome, different sounding voice. But then when all their albums sounded pretty much the same as the first one, it got old and unoriginal.

Alter Bridge Vs. Creed?
 

I must say that I am a fan of both Creed and Alter Bridge. I hated it when Creed separated, but, I loved it when Alter Bridge formed. I was excited about the Creed reunion tour, but, concerned about the future of Alter Bridge. I've heard/read rumors concerning the future of both. One of which was that the two would co-exist. I really hope this is true. If so I will definitely look forward to upcoming tours/CDs from both. Hopefully, sometime in the near future, they will all get together and issue a formal statement concerning their intentions.

Both of these bands are godawful.

How anyone can diss Alter Bridge is beyond me. Give the album BlackBird a listen, my favourite album of all time it is just ****ing amazing. Now as for the topic, I like both bands and will always like Creed because of what they meant to me when I was younger but Alter Bridge is miles ahead (no pun intended) musically.

Just an fyi (for those who don't Know). Alter Bridge lead singer is Myles Kennedy, Formerly from "The Mayfield Four". In my humble opinion he's one of the best rock singers out today. Though Scott Stapp has a great voice, and I couldn't imagine anyone else singing Weathered or My Own Prison...etc. and bringing it home like he does. The same can be said for Alter Bridge's music, Down To My Last, Broken Wings...etc. Don't think anyone else could do it like Myles Kennedy. Personally I think both are awesome.

Alter Bridge, just awesome. =]
