Creed - Alter Bridge - Creed (famous American alt/metal band) story

               my curiosity let me worked out this brief story which am goin to highlight here.There's a lot of common confusable arise in every mind of the young music lovers.Here,i've sort out few lines that might help you to overcome your confusion.

Creed band to Alter bridge: Creed is a rock band from Tallahassee, Florida that became popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The band disbanded in 2004 after three multi-platinum albums, selling 26 million records in the United States [1] and an estimated 35 million records worldwide.[2][3][4]
            The band consists of lead vocalist Scott Stapp, guitarist and backing vocalist Mark Tremonti, drummer Scott Phillips and bassist Brian Marshall. They released two studio albums: My Own Prison (1997), Human Clay (1999) before Marshall left in 2000 to be replaced by touring bassist Brett Hestla. Afterwards came Weathered (2001) with Mark Tremonti handling bass before the band disbanded in 2004. Tremonti, Phillips and Marshall went on to found Alter Bridge while Stapp followed a solo career.
              The other band members (including former bassist Brian Marshall) formed a new band, Alter Bridge, with Myles Kennedy, formerly of The Mayfield Four, a rock band that Creed had toured with earlier in the band's career before they made it big. Alter Bridge released their debut album, One Day Remains, on August 10, 2004. After finishing up the final leg of the One Day Remains tour in mid-2006, Alter Bridge started recording their second album. In 2007, with Universal Republic, Alter Bridge released their second album, Blackbird, on October 9, 2007. The band's third album, tentatively titled, Alter Bridge III is expected to be released in September 2010.[11]

Alter Bridge to Creed :On April 27, 2009, Creed's website announced the reunification of the original line-up for a new tour and plans for a new album. According to Tremonti, "We're all very excited to reconnect with our fans and each other after six long years."[2] He later added that being in Creed again was "the last thing [he] expected." Phillips also stated: "Our career as Creed came to a very abrupt and unforeseen ending. After reflecting on some of the greatest personal and professional moments of our lives, we've come to realize that we are still very capable of continuing that career and our friendship on a grander scale than ever before."[2] In an interview for People.com, Stapp elaborated on the reunion, saying, "We never felt like we weren't together. We're not looking at this as a reunion. It's more of a rebirth."[7]
                   In June, Stapp, Tremonti, Marshall, and Phillips performed together for the first time in 6 years on AOL Sessions, showing the band playing "Higher", "With Arms Wide Open", "My Own Prison", and "My Sacrifice".[8] In addition, the band performed live on Fox & Friends on June 26, 2009. Creed's reunion tour kicked off on August 6, 2009, and concluded on October 20, one week before the release of the album. in brief-Tremonti, Phillips and Marshall went on to found Alter Bridge while Stapp followed a solo career. After months of speculation, the original members of Creed reunited in 2009 for a tour and a new album called Full Circle.

Are you Confused! thinking Alter bridge??  Don't be confused...here i highlighted few lines to wipe out your confusion.Read this-"The band all states that Creed's reunion will not affect Alter Bridge in any way and that in spite of this, both bands will co-exist, so it is expected that Tremonti, Phillips, and Marshall will "switch off" between the two bands, with Scott Stapp and Myles Kennedy working on solo material and other projects while the other band is touring and recording."

Another possible confusion: Is Alter bridge a christian group?: the answer is..No, Alter Bridge Is A Alternative/Metal Band. Alter Bridge Is Made Up Of Members From Creed And The Mayfield Four So If You Have Ever Heard Those Bands You Know That Alter Bridge Is Not A Christian Band. They Are Just A Bit Soft.
         For more clearance,they aren't a Christian band. It's just because, their lyrics make them sound like it.
