Okay, that sounded a little weird. Not actually a part of HIM has arrived, but his gear has arrived. For the first time I can remember in Balloonfest history, one of the bands has shipped their gear to us!
Usually we just find scraggly-looking musicians, struggling with gear coming off the baggage carousel at the airport, hoping for either a vegan meal or Whataburger.
Tonight, Speaking Rock is at it again with Creed, Adelitas Way and Eve To Adam!
If you didn't know, Creed is playing a free show tonight at the Socorro Entertainment Complex tonight at 7:30. Today during the KLAQ Morning show, Creed guitarist Mark Tremonti called in to talk about the concert tonight, his new album, the status of Alter Bridge and how Creed is getting along.
This year marks a big one in Creed’s musical trajectory, as the post-grunge boys are commemorating the 15th anniversary of their fundamental 1997 album, ‘My Own Prison,’ with a cross-country tour. Singer Scott Stapp, guitarist Mark Tremonti, bass player Brian Marshall and drummer Scott Phillips will play their ‘My Own Prison’ and ‘Human Clay’ albums back-to-back on different evenings of the trek, so expect to hear plenty of hits and more obscure cuts, to boot.
The first time most of us heard about Mark Tremonti, he was heading up post-grunge behemoths Creed, touring the country and playing bread-and-butter rock hits such as ‘My Own Prison,’ ‘Torn’ and ‘What’s This Life For?’ That was in the late-‘90s and early-‘00s, and Creed have since gone on to become multiplatinum rock sensations.
I know some of you are probably very sad that Alter Bridge will be going on break for a while as Creed returns this year with a new album and tour. Alter Bridge won't be back until at least 2013, but there are some AB-related releases coming soon!
