Alter Bridge Don’t Take Themselves Too Seriously
Alter Bridge has forged a path, and with their recent tour with labelmates Another Animal, the group’s guitarist Mark Tremonti talked with Artisan News Service about the absence of big band pressure. “Not taking yourselves way too seriously,” he said of lessons learned with Creed. “Just do it to have fun, and not worry so much about every little detail. You don’t have to get to the point where you have to ask 16 people to get something done. Back in the Creed days if you needed a simple decision to be made it took you three weeks. The system just broke down. Keep it all just for fun. We’ve been there, now we just want to do it. If it ever turns into that business again, that’s not why we’re doing it, so we’ll definitely fix it as soon as it happens.” Watch the segment at YouTube.

MTV News reports Living Things singer/guitarist Lillian Berlin said his brother, drummer Bosh Berlin, 21, and the band's touring guitarist, Corey Becker, were attacked and beat up onstage Wednesday night during a show at the Rohstofflager club in Zurich, Switzerland, by the crew of the band Alter Bridge and at least one member of that band. The Alter Bridge camp is refuting those claims. "We were in the middle of our second song, and I had some stuff to say about the current administration and the way they're handling the Iraq war," Lillian said. "The Swiss were all behind us, and the crowd was cheering me on. I was talking about this letter I got inviting me to a Democrat-bashing dinner at the White House. And we went into our fourth song, and some goon from that Creed band [Alter Bridge features three former members of Creed] came out swinging an American flag and then threw it at our drummer, Bosh."

During his opening monologue on Friday night, 'Last Call' host Carson Daly remarked, "What I don't understand is the whole Scott Stapp story. The biggest rock band in the world, right? He left Creed. The other dudes in the band formed a completely other band called Alter Bridge, which sounded exactly like Creed. And Scott put out a solo record recently and that sounds exactly like Creed. If they all wanted to suck, couldn't they just keep sucking together? They had the perfect formula for sucking. Why did they mess with it."
