In a recent conversation with Guitar Interactive magazine, Creed‘s guitarist Mark Tremonti shared his thoughts on the possibility of creating new music with his bandmates. The musician expressed enthusiasm for the creative process, highlighting the challenges and opportunities that come with writing for different projects.
Tremonti stated (as transcribed by Blabbermouth): “Yeah, I love writing music and I love doing it in many different ways. I love challenging ourselves, I love to be challenged, and writing for all these different acts, when you get into it, you’re, like, how am I gonna differentiate this from my other projects? How are we gonna make this its own thing and not sound like this other band with just a different vocalist on it?”
When discussing Creed‘s potential approach to new material, Tremonti emphasized the importance of maintaining the band’s signature sound while incorporating fresh elements. He suggested that they would aim to preserve the aspects that fans have always appreciated about Creed, rather than pursuing a more progressive direction.
“I had a whole record on my hands for Creed before we parted ways in 2012… If we start over and just dove in again, we could do better,” he revealed. “I think it’d be good to try to get back to that original sound. I think putting a fresh look, but also realizing what people loved about the band and trying to keep that intact and not get too progressive in any way with Creed.”
“We keep that to my other bands Alter Bridge and Tremonti and we keep Creed a little more the way it was back in the day — the big melodies, just the stuff that worked back in the day. I think on the Full Circle record, we got somewhat a little more — I think we strayed a little bit from our original sound with that album. So I think it’d be good to try to get back to that original sound a little more.”
