Rise Today….Change this World!
The wind is blowing cold
Think we lost our way tonight
Think we lost our hope to sorrow
Feels like were all alone
Running further from what’s right
And there are no more heroes to follow
So what are we becoming?
Where did we go wrong?
I WANT TO RISE TODAY AND CHANGE THIS WORLD
OH WON’T YOU RISE TODAY AND CHANGE THIS WORLD?
Download Rise Today from iTunes.
Lyrics from Alter Bridge new single, Rise Today. Let me go on record and say I was a massive….huge….crazy fan of Creed! Yes, I know Creed. But I will also say that I had the My own Prison album in 1997 before many knew who they were.
So, on with my music rant…Mark Tremonti, lead guitarist of Alter Bridge and formerly of Creed is one of the most amazing guitarist. His tones, riffs and the left leg on the wedge… Check a few of these out. Sam, you will love the last 1:00min of the Guitar 101 video!

I saw Alter Bridge at The Underworld last night - awesome! They played lots of tracks from their forthcoming album, Blackbird. I blogged about it - see http://johnalexwood.blogspot.com/2007/09/alter-bridge-at-underworld-sold-out.html

Terry! I am with you man.
I am a huge Alter Bridge fan and Mark Tremonti is one of the most amazing lead guitarist ever. Big time original Creed fan also. I have a copy of “My Own Prison” from when it was self produced by Creed, before it was ever on the Wind Up record label.
Love the sound that Alter Bridge has. I hope they make it to DC on their next tour!

Back in the day, when Creed was played into the ground on the radio, I really didn’t care for them. I took Deziray to one of their shows simply because I wanted to see Collective Soul, who was opening for them. I left the concert, though, a true Creed fan. I really was impressed.
Mark’s a great guitarist, but I’m tired of hearing from Deziray about how hot he is any time Creed is the topic of conversation.

Awesome,
I love all things Creed and have followed Alter bridge since the day they announced that they were forming. Oh and Scott Stapp still rocks too!
