Hate Creed or not, the guys in the band are incredible talented. I'd go as far as saying Mark Tremonti is THE BEST guitarist alive. Scott Phillips is a great drummer and Brian Marshall is one of the better bassists in music today. I understand if you don't like Stapp, he's a love/hate guy like PorterHouse (just kidding, PH). I saw them in concert with Jerry Cantrell in 2002 and they put on an amazing show. The first few songs, you really had to wonder if they weren't playing a CD, but they mixed in a lot of old and changed stuff in, so it was definately live. They weren't one of those bands who suck live, in fact, they're BETTER in person than on CD.

You probably hate them mainly because of the lead singer, so do yourself a favor and check out Alter Bridge. It's Creed's musicians with a different singer, but they do a lot more musically than Creed did, like Tremonti's guitar solos.

Preview clips of songs, check out #5 especially: Amazon.com: One Day Remains: Music: Alter Bridge

They have a new CD coming out late 2007 too.
