>>Rock Band Creed Breaks Up After 3 Albums

>>NEW YORK - The spiritually inclined band Creed, whose
>>anthemic hits "Higher" and "With Arms Wide Open"
>>helped them become one of the top-selling rock acts of
>>the past decade, has called it quits.

>>Three former Creed members immediately announced they
>>were forming a new band — minus singer Scott Stapp
>>(news) — but were quick to say it was not "just Creed
>>with a different singer."
>>
>>
>>Creed's three albums sold a combined 24 million copies
>>in the United States. While many critics dismissed
>>them as pale Pearl Jam imitators, Creed members used
>>that as creative fuel and laughed all the way to the
>>bank.
>>
>>
>>Lyricist Stapp grew up with a strict religious
>>upbringing and often explored those topics in song. At
>>one point five of the first eight queries on the
>>"frequently asked questions" section of the
>>Florida-based band's Web site dealt with Christianity,
>>including "Is Creed a Christian band?"
>>
>>
>>The band always said no.
>>
>>
>>Stapp and guitarist Mark Tremonti (news) were longtime
>>friends and songwriting partners whose relationship
>>soured in the past couple of years, as Tremonti
>>explained in a recent interview with MTV.com.
>>
>>
>>That caused tension in the band. "There was a lot more
>>drama," drummer Scott Phillips (news) told The
>>Associated Press on Friday. "It wasn't necessarily
>>created by anyone in particular. It just stopped being
>>fun."
>>
>>
>>Stapp was not available for comment, said a spokesman
>>for Wind-up Records.
>>
>>
>>Creed took most of last year off, and reconvened in
>>the winter to come up with new material. "The vibe
>>just wasn't the same," Phillips said.
>>
>>
>>Still, they weren't about to casually disband such a
>>successful unit. The band had initially figured on
>>taking a hiatus, but a side project was working out so
>>well they decided not to turn back, Phillips said.
>>
>>
>>The new band, Alter Bridge, features Tremonti,
>>Phillips and former Creed bassist Brian Marshall.
>>Singer-songwriter Myles Kennedy, formerly of the band
>>Mayfield Four, was recruited as the fourth member.
>>Their first album is due out in August.
>>
>>
>>Phillips described the music as edgier than Creed,
>>with the musicians given more space to show off their
>>chops.
>>
>>
>>"We don't want to make it seem like it's just Creed
>>with a different singer," he said.
>>
>>
>>Stapp's first solo recording will be on a soundtrack
>>of music inspired by the film "The Passion of the
>>Christ." He's working on a solo album with the
>>Canadian band the Tea Party.
