Creed’s latest reunion final yr should have been a extremely large deal to, I don’t know, individuals who peaked in highschool and graduated in 2002? I can’t fairly perceive who can be so excited a few Creed reunion, however apparently there’s a subsection of the inhabitants who’re actually, actually into the music “Increased.” For these people who find themselves actually down for a Creed reunion present, I think about they’re fairly content material to listen to “My Personal Jail,” “Increased,” “With Arms Extensive Open,” and “Torn” after which make their option to the parking zone to beat the site visitors. However Mark Tremonti appears to suppose they’re not going to carry fan curiosity with out writing some new music.
In a latest interview with MTV VJ turned radio DJ Matt Pinfield for Los Angeles radio station KLOS (that was transcribed by Blabbermouth), Pinfield requested Mark Tremonti if Creed had any intention of writing new music, and he appeared to suppose it was quite essential:
“Yeah. Simply us coming again collectively after so lengthy was type of the large driver to get individuals to come back to the exhibits [on the first reunion tour in 2024]. However as we hold doing it, we’re gonna must introduce new music to maintain saying, ‘Hey, we’re touring, supporting this new EP or this new document.’ So we’ve all talked about it, and we simply need to make the time and determine… We’re all spinning plates proper now. Scott’s [Stapp, CREED singer] bought his new [solo] document out. I’ve bought my new [TREMONTI] document popping out. We bought an ALTER BRIDGE document we’re gonna document [in 2025]. After which new CREED music, to attempt to begin planting these seeds and get these issues going. It simply all can’t occur at one time. We’ve gotta put all the pieces as a substitute.”
Do you really want new music to draw an viewers to what’s, primarily, a nostalgia act? To present you an instance, when Jane’s Dependancy was nonetheless touring, earlier than they imploded, they have been enjoying units solely of music from the 80s and 90s, regardless of having put out albums within the 2000s and 2010s. No person had any curiosity in listening to something they’d accomplished since Kettle Whistle, and so they nonetheless stuffed up pretty massive arenas. That’s simply the best way it’s with 80s and 90s nostalgia acts. I don’t actually suppose they want extra music to draw an viewers. I believe Godsmack has the best concept: cease making new music and simply play the hits.
