Creed got back together in 2009 to do their “Full Circle” album and tour around five years after disbanding.
Last year, Alter Bridge recently released the critically-acclaimed “Pawns & Kings” album, and Alter Bridge/Creed guitarist Mark Tremonti was asked by Anne Erickson of Audio Ink Radio about the chances of a Creed comeback.
“There’s always talks — people running ideas back and forth — but we don’t know as of yet, ’cause we’re so in the deep with this Alter Bridge record that’s it’s tough to kind of get sidetracked right now,” Tremonti said.
“I’m sure something will happen at some point. Creed was such a popular band back in the day, it would be a shame to not do something with it. I know there’s still tons of fans out there that would appreciate it, so it’s just a matter of timing.”
The timing might be right in 2024 as it marks the 25th anniversary of the bands mega-selling album “Human Clay.”
Earlier this week, Creed’s social media was updated with an 18-second video containing early photos of the band soundtracked by their tune, “Are You Ready?”
The video ends with the message “Let’s Go Back To The Summer Of ’99”, along with the promise that more information will be made available on Wednesday, July 19.
“Human Clay” sold more than 20 million copies worldwide on the backs of hit singles “Higher”, “What If”, “Are You Ready?” and “With Arms Wide Open.”
Creed singer Scott Stapp previously detailed the reasons for the band’s break-up.
“What went on after the shows, when each one of us were single at various times… We were living like rock stars, man,” he told the “Net Positive With John Crist” podcast.
“We were young and living the life… And we were on fire, man. Everyone brought something every night to the stage, man, and people came. We started doing multiple nights in arenas, selling out all over the United States, and then we were moving into stadiums. We had giant stadiums on hold, getting ready to move into the stadium tour scene, and that’s when the band broke up.”
“And there was a lot of factors, bro,” Stapp explained. “I can own my part. I got mixed up in some things I shouldn’t have that I go to a program for today. And that, I’m sure, was a major part, because had I not developed those issues, I think we probably could have worked through everything else. So I’ll take the blame about that.”
