~ Kandice ~

Hi Mark i love This time of year. But to be honest i'm only watching the NL playoff games. Went to game 2 Thursday at Busch Stadium. Got over 10 San Diego Padres signatures. Had my picture taken with Brian Giles. I finally got up the nerve to ask him for a picture with him. I should have asked ages ago. I have meet him at least 20 other times.

Good to hear from you again Mark, I've been looking at this blog just about every day patiently waiting for more nuggets of Tru wisdom.. haha.. ok, that was corny. But thanks for posting that picture, badass man. Keep on rockin those faces off, one by one, every night. \m/

- Brian Thompson

Hey Mark! Sorry to tell you, but my White Sox totally swept your Red Sox!! :-) GO WHITE SOX!! haha. I hope the show tonight went well and I'll see ya in Chicago in a few weeks! \m/

-Danielle Tournier

Mark, you are simply the man! I have one request. Could you guys possibly make just ONE stop in the SF Bay Area before you go into the studio for album #2? It's killing me to see you guys go to SoCal three or four times, but skip out on the Bay. I know it has something to do with radio play, but cut us some slack! Clear Channel royally screwed us by shutting down 35 year-old KSJO a year ago, the BEST rock station in the Bay! In any event, I'll keep my fingers crossed in hopes you'll make it out here. Keep it up...you guys are absolutely amazing!

What up Mark, i am determined to get you to reply to my comment! hah...you need to come back to Detroit, we need AB! like a few other people said, its kinda scary that my idol may answer my comment. i cant wait for that new instrumental song that is gonna be in Total Guitar mag!!! 3min. of you shreadding! oh man...alright, well im out mark, good luck with your tour, and try to make it to detroit with my other favorite band Shinedown!!

-Nick Zilan-

Hey Mark, I love your music! Dude, I hope you guys play at tacoma or some where around here. I live in seattle. I am saving up for your signature PRS. Props to you dude for PRS being able to make it again

-Tyler

How is it touring with Shinedown? How's the situation with neeedles going?

Hey Mark!
I hope you have been having a good time touring in the U.K. That really blows that you dont have anny T.Vs! lol I'm shure youve heard that the Red Soxs lost alredy ... but anyways,I'm looking for some soloing tips on my guitar ( I've been playing for a year) and i figured your the guy to ask, which reminds me, Thanks for having me pick up the guitar! I forgot to tell you that when I met you at the Hampton Beach show 4/1/05 ( I was the one with Dog Tags that said Tremonti Fann)Thank you and the rest of the band for beeing soo awsomely nice to me that day lol. I really hope you guys can come tour the U.S soon and I'm looking forward to the next album. Thanx and good luck with the show! Rock on

Jackie

Hey Mark,
Good to hear from you! Love the pic from Tulsa. I wish I could have been there. I caught y'all in Wichita Falls last night and I have to say thanks for ROCKIN THE HOUSE!!! I'm sure you seen me, I was right in front of you!! :) Awesome show!! A great time was had by all!! And I have to say you guys just keep getting better!!

I'll see you in Chicago on the 25th!!! I can't wait!

Audra

Tremonti, that picture is awesome! I was at the show in Tulsa that night (Oct 4) and I must say that it ROCKED! I saw and met all of you guys the last time that you were in Tulsa (Cain's Ballroom). It's just amazing how modest you were when complimented. With all the compliments you get, you still remain modest and down to earth. That's a great quality!!!

You've been a huge influence on me since way back in the early days! Your ideas are awesome, the melodies are stellar, and the shredding is just undeniable!!!! Keep rockin' hard!!

Wow! Just saw you in Houston. We are displaced due to Hurricane Rita (we live in Beaumont) and weren't sure we were going to receive our tickets for the show. It was my son's first concert and you were definitely the highlight! He's taking guitar lessons and was amazed at your talent. Thanks for a great show. Hey -- how 'bout those Astros??? Angela

Hi Mark, it's Karen, (check out the August 24th email under the 2beach4us5 address). I'll give you an obscure question, for Jake: when you greeted your fans after the show in Beloit did you meet us backstage, right next to your tour bus, or in a dimly lit parking lot?.... that is if you can remember! We will be at your Youngstown concert on 10/29....should we just bring you a disc of the fabulous Beloit pics? By the way, I need another pic with you because my eyes were closed and we were so excited, we didn't even use a flash...I guess we were a "little gitty" to meet you. :) I wish you the best on your tour, now I have to prep for my "tour" in my classroom....from the Kindergarten teacher that rocks.

Hey Mark can do you play any of the new songs on tour like Save me or On my Way or Cruel Sin? I wish i could hear On my way now!

Hey Mark, I finally found the courage to actually sign in!
Just wanted to say a big thank you for all the things you and the guys are doing! You brought me back to where I am now musically! Continued to play guitar and enjoy music which is one of the most beautiful things in life! Thanks for that!

We saw each other in Berlin in June 16th but people were asking me constantly to take pictures with you and them so I didn't really have the chance talking to you except for the usual bla bla! :)

One thing which I actually wanted to ask you that night is, do you still like playing the old Creed stuff, like in your "free time", or do you actually closed that chapter?

Well since this is a MLB Blog and I honestly have NO idea about baseball (germany *****!), I'll stop for now!

Thanks again for being Alter Bridge, best band ever!

P.S: Horay for PRS, can get my SE soon!

I want to make it to the World Series. I want to cut a strip of grass during the World Series to promote yard safety awareness.

I present to you Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man (sm) - a yard safety super hero. About a year ago, I had a lawn mower accident that resulted in the partial amputation of my left foot. Consequently, I have been an advocate and promoter of yard safety, with the goal to prevent these outdoor power equipment accidents from happening to other people.

Furthermore, I have been a renaissance yardman, utilizing various art forms to communicate my safety message. I have approached Major League Baseball about the possibility of dedicating one day of the MLB season as Yard Safety Awareness Day. Each, there are about 400,000 individuals who experience lawn mower and garden-tool-related accidents, often times resulting in severe and life-altering outcomes. Since baseball is America's pastime and often played on natural turf, I ask for your assistance and consideration to facilitate this humanitarian idea.

Please visit the Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man (sm) website at http://www.rescuerick.com for additional information. Thank you for your BLOG. Best wishes!

Richard Mudrinich

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man

24 - 25 million albums later, from Floyd's Music Store, acoustic with Robbie Rob on X-101.5, and sweaty as all h*ll St. George Island gigs, to prime time at the All Star game and beyond...nice to see you are still the same fan-driven and fan-centric, hard working, heart felt individuals I met 11 years ago. Kudos! You truly have earned every fan back and will no doubt earn more.

Got a question for you, to help settle a wager of course, as my buddy and I were stumbling out of the Palace Saloon one night, on our way back to the dorms, I swear I heard you guys cranking it out on the balcony of a Seminole Village condo. True or False?

Hey Mark! Whats up? I must say, I'm a little nervous commenting, cuz there's the possibility of you actually replying (Don't laugh.) But, I have to tell you that you and the rest of the band are doing an amazing job! I absolutely love ya'll!! Keep it up and I hope to hear from you soon! -JeN

Hope you got a chance to catch the game tonight. Could you possibly become a 'Stros fan after all?? Angela

Hey Mark!

My husband and I just saw you and the guys in DeKalb, IL tonight. You rocked! We haven't seen you perform since 2002. We enjoyed the show immensely and we look forward to seeing Alter Bridge, Shinedown, and 3 Doors Down again soon! Thanks for an awesome show! - Robyn

Hey mark. My friend tyler has a comment up in this some where. well ive been a fan since i was like 8 win i heard creed for the first time. i think unfogiven was the first song i heard and it was like love at first listen. well now im 14 and love listening to your stuff with alter bridge. im play guitar and hoping to get your se soon. yea. alter bridge gonna come to seattle anytime in the next 6 months. bummed i missed the last show. really wanna see you guys.
-derrik

mark i'm a huge fan and wish much more success. me and my wife have been to five of your concerts the most recentl one in our hometown of evansville indiana. It kills me to see you guys kickin *** on stage and listening to your cd and i just can't understand your lack of success of your cd. Maybe as more people know you guys with more albums success will come. You guys had so many great songs that weren't released on your album and i was wondering why not? release one day remains dude!!!!!
keep rockin!

greg baumberger

hey mark
wow i cant belive i'm tpying to you. The guy who inspired me to play guitar about a good year. Man i'm a big big fan of yours, and i learned all the creed songs but a cople and i can play almost all of A.B songs on guitar. I cant wait for the new CD to come out. I'm in Bossier City, louisiana

(sheveport) and i saw yall (creed) twice and A.B at the staind. holy **** a big differnce. i loved it all was a good time. I enjoy your music, and i follow what you said one time " sweat, blood, and rock n roll" heck yeah man that is 100% true. I'm saving up for a Tremonti SE model i cant wait till i get enough money for it! well man i better go, cya later.

-Jay

rock the free world! \m/

Mark,
Whats goin on man, been trying to find a way to write you forever. I recently saw AB in Louisville w/ Shinedown and 3DD, but all i could think about after the concert was holy S*** Mark's good. I've kept up with AB since the VERY beginning. I knew you guys would be huge. Seeing you there was awesome. Your my role model. Ive gone through some tough stuff about 2 years ago and music helped me get through it, alot of it was creed. All i can say is thanks for playing great rock. Baseball and music are my 2 Favorite things in the world. I play for Top 3 team in Kentucky (high school), and after practice i come home and jam to one day remains. Wish i had gotten to the concert earlier to meet you, hope one day we'll run into each other.I can't belive im actually righting you,I'd do anything for a lesson from you.Take care, good luck with your son and tell Myles, Flip and Brian i said whats up. See ya, Eric

(Sox well get it next year!)

Hey Mark, we're getting pretty psyched to see you in Youngtown on Saturday. We'll be wearing our Alter Bridge shirts with pride!
-Karen :)

Hey Mark ,

i heard you and your Brother Michael have been sick with the flu that ***** and i hate getting sick so i know how ya feel and i heard Myles get's sick easily too

Get Well Soon

Kandice

Hi Mark, I can see you have no time to blog! We went to your concert on Sat. in Youngstown, and you rocked the socks off of everybody. We especially liked how you continued to play even after your guitar string broke...pretty amazing! Our only regret was that you only got to play for 45min.. We were in the mosh pit, about four rows in....I waved to you and you smiled. We tried to see you after the show to give you the picture cd, but to no avail...nonetheless, thanks for the entertaining night! Karen

Hey Mark!!
Hope you and your family are doing well! I have a couple of questions. You played in San Diego recently (great show!), but I was wondering when AB would be coming back to the L.A./ Orange County area. Second, can you play SRV's "Scuttle Buttin'"? Even with the official tabs I can't get that song down!

Hope the tour is going well, can't wait to see you guys again! My son, now 3 months old, loves AB (I always play your music for him), and I can't wait to take him to see you guys! Rock on and keep shredding!!!

-Johnny

Wow i cant beleive im actaully gonna post something you will actually read thats scary!anyways my names Mark Cota we have the same name isnt that cool!so i have been playing guitar for 4 years now and im 14 and just wanted to let you know you are my favorite guitar player you have inspired me soo much.i can play mostly all of your AB stuff except for like the tenalets in the "open your eyes" solo.i saw you at the begining of this year in Amarillo texas and that was the greatest concert i have ever been too. you are osm dude.God bless!!
Mark

Hey Mark!

Just a quick thankyou from me for taking the time out to write and record 'Ahavo Rabo Taco Salad' for your UK fans! It's a truly inspiring piece of guitar work! Thanks for so much dedication to your fans in the UK, you signed my PRS backplate outside the Astoria on a freezing March afternoon this year - I'll hopefully see you again next Tuesday for another awesome Alter Bridge gig! Hopefully you'll play some more excellent covers too! :D

Keep up the good work!

Hi Mark,first excuse me for my English.I'm talking you from Spain.I am 20 and i have been listen your stuff since i was a child.

You inspire my band to make good music with strong guitars and beatiful lyrics.I only want to say you thanks for love what you do.We realise this when we hear your albums.

And now,maybe because of your inspiration, we are going to record our first album here in Spain man!!

Please,say the guys to come on more time to Spain with the new album tour.We wait for us.

But I will be the happier person in the whole world if one time you could hear one of my songs.

I'll be waiting for that moment.I know you love music and I trust someday i will be able to hear your review.

If you read this mail,thank you so much for your time and excuse me one more time for my English.

Hi Mark.
First of all I would like

to say congrats on Alter Bridge and it's nice to see how fast you are progressing.

One thing I'm very curious about. Will PRS do a Mark Tremonti model with 24 frets and a tremolo ?

If so when, that's something I would buy. Thank you and keep working on those chops. :)

Best regards.

Armann - Iceland.

Mark

Kandice

Rock on

DONT GO BACK TO THE US...YET
COME TO AUSTRALIA FIRST

Hey Mark,

This is very cool that you are doing this blog. I missed your show in Seattle when you blazed through here, but I wanted to let you know that I have really enjoyed the new sound. I loved Creed, and in turn, have given both your band and Scott's latest efforts a try. All of you are very talented.

I have been playing for 10 years, and until recently, didn't realize that I was actually sweep picking. I saw your vid on Guitar.com and suddenly had an epiphany!

It is truly wonderful to see guitar players finally embarcing the solo once again. My influences range from EVH to Eric Clapton to Eric Johnson...even to a Japanese guitarist you may have heard of in your travels, Tak Matsumoto. Your skill is tremendous...and you will go far my friend.

Best of luck to you, and God Bless.

~Dave

Hey Mark, I have been wanting to get a chance to talk to you for so long, I hope you get this. I like the way you play, you really opened up a new side of playing for me. I have to ask you something though, how did you get PRS to get a 24 fret on your guitar?! They don't talk to me! Anyway, can you ask Myles if he remembers my grandma (she worked on Rock Star, but I don't know if they met; her name is Adrienne Hamilian Mangine, and I think she's script supervisor)? Anyway, I really want to get a chance to talk to you sometime, I have so much to ask and talk about! If you ever come back to KC could you send me an e-mail if all is possible? If not, I understand. Have fun in Europe man, and keep up those skills; you're a great inspiration!

Hey Mark!

where are you man..!? lol I need to get to another AB show there so addicting! I miss you and the rest of the band, looks like you guys are having a great time out on the road though. I hope you had a wonderful holiday. My guitar playing is getting better I'm starting to learn scales...:-).....I was wondering if you could give me some tips on song writing..? some people told me that you have to just let it flow....but i think to much lol....hopfully you can help

Thanx so much Mark, you're such and inspiration

rock on

-Jackie

Mark Tremonti, I need talk something with you.
You are a great guitarist, you are the best.I need see a alter bridge' show. I have a PRS Mark Tremonti, Because I am a great fan of you. talk with me.

Hey, you need see the brazil.

Bye

Hey Mark,
I sent a comment last month and I didn't see it on your blog. So I don't know if you even got a chance to read it. So here I go again. I wanted to know as well if you guys are planning to come to Northern California. I went all the way to Reno, NV to see you guys since San Francisco was not on the list of tours. I would love to see you guys again but closer to home. Please consider San Francisco or Sacramento as one of the cities you guys can rock next year. Take care and your the BEST!!!

hey Mark just wondered if you knew of any goo music schools in florida im lokin at mcnally smith in st paul minnesota but if you knew of any that would be awesome im going for vocals it should be well worth the money.
Nick

Hey bro, Im not gona waste your time by saying how amazing i think you are and all that cos lets face it youve probably heard it so many time you get the hint. Just a couple of quiries really that i think you could help me with. 1. How do you get your sound of distrtion i heard you got a boss sd-2 and the boss blues driver and of course a morley power wah but still i cant get a distortion sound that i personally approve. (Maybe because im a fussy ****) 2 Theres a romour ging round my circle of friends that alter bridge are christian? Duno wether its true or not but hey if you could clear it up for me it would be appreciated. and number 3 Please reccomend to me a recording machine for guitars and stuff coss i have about 15 songs a written that are at a decent standard but its getting a bit difficult to renember them all. Cheers mate. Keep rocking xXx

Mark,
I have been navegating into the net, searching about Creed and Alterbridge stuffs (I found this space and, I think that's great to have a place where your 'fans' can send msgs). I wrote before to another article written by you. I am from Panama, but I have 10 years moving around recently I live in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Now I have 4 months here in Panama working (I deal with Maritime Security)... My point is, I (and my family) really appreciate your work. Congratulations!! Hope someday you can come to my little and controversial country. Hope you read this and I will feel so glad if you reply...

Continue with your awesome work...Blessings,

Nury

Hi Mark, Just checking in with you, I hope all is well. Happy Holidays. Karen

hey mark hows it goin cuz i aint got enuf money to buy a mesa boogie or anything you got how do i get your tone? cuz i got a line 6 and got it set on rectifier but i still dont get that low end rumble u get with your sound and i got an ab switch so what amps would you say i couldd use

Hey Mark..You guys rock!!!!
Any plans on coming out to sunny South Africa, do a tour with Seether and they will show you guys around..

hi mark! my name's Ruther from Philippines. i really doubt if you'll read this message coz i think there's "someone" who was assigned to answer your fans comments and pretend to be you... well, i just wanna ask if you (alter bridge)have any plans on visiting asia and eventually have a concert, especially here in the philippines... i tell you filipino people love "Mark Tremonti" and "Alter Bridge" as well... i just wanna let yah know that i'm your huge fan! i love watching your music videos, you know what i have every albums you ever made.. and i have lot's of 'em.... you rock! and thumbs up to your musics! keep rockin'!!!!! hope you'll read this soon! oh! by the way, happy new year!

HEY MARK....I am a HUMUNGUS fan of yours...although im sure you hear that day in and day out...I spent this whole weekend looking for stuff about you...you are an awesome guy...i have always looked up to you as a guitar player and a person...i used to listen to my own prison every day on my paper route... people used to look at me wierd when i would be singing all the words super loud...haha...i was pretty bummed at first when i heard creed broke up...but i am super glad now because Alter Bridge is way better than creed could ever have been...I am glad that you and the guys are being creative with your music and doing what YOU want to do, not whatever you think will make the most money...I just watched a video of you showing your stage rig....thats some cool stuff you got there...i always wondered how you would use a wah when it seemed like you were moving around alot...now i know...you have 4 of em!!! thats awesome....
anyways i am really glad you have this little dealey on here...i have always wanted a way to converse with you somehow...

Ben

By the way...Ive been trying to learn some of the stuff of of "One Day Remains" its goin pretty good...this stuff is awesome....anyways thanks again

thanks mark

bye

hey mark, my name is jim poggi (YEAH ITALIANS!). im 14 and i live in bmore, i came to your show at the sonar. I have been the biggest mark tremonti fan forever. I wanted to meet u like really bad at the show, but i thought u probably wouldnt want a few kids coming up to you and bothering you at like 12 30. But, i just played a REAL tremonti model today at guitar center, when i found it, i almost ran over two kids to get it, ha. But, you are the BEST guitar player to ever walk the earth. I cant believe im actually like talking to you, this is insain. I just got a PRS, Mccarty, and playing your stuff is like really really tough, do you have anything to help with my shred? But, i just want you to know, that YOU HAVE TO COME BACK TO BALTIMORE, or somewhere close, and i would love to talk to you sometime. i know this sounds kinda scary, but you are changing kids lives like me, and thanks so much, AND GIVE ME ANOTHER ALBUM
GO SOX

just dropin' by, and just wanna say high to all my co-tremonti fans out there...

sorry to waste your time again, but on alterbridge.net i think (?) it says you use a G-Force tc electronic with a triple recto? well watever, im sure u dont want to go around telling people how to get your sound, but if you could tell me something like, that is close to your sound, and oh, wat is the amp that u use backstage, that thing was pretty sweet wen u played "name that mode" with myles and stuff, yeah if u could tell me that stuff it would be sweet

mark
i know you dont want to hear this, but scott stapp is coming to australia, and ill be there for sure because of creed.

please i would love you to come to australia.

thanks mark

keep up the great work

Mark, I'm very inspired by your playing. I think you and the rest of Alter Bridge are going to be the next Metallica, but much better obviously.

Hi Mark

Just I want to know ehn you come to Venezuela.. I´m your big fan and I Love you a lot. I want to see you Pleasee..

mark
im listening to in loving memory right now, broken wings just finished, and im having a fit, because i cant believe how @#$%ing fantastic your music is.

LOVE YOU MARK

KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!

Wow is this great. Mark, I just got one of your black signature guitars and it is the best. Your pickups are crushing yet clear. I also have an old Johnson JM 150 modeling amp. What setting to you use to practice with before a show?
Metalingus is my favorite!!

Mark Tremonti,
Im Lenny from Kentucky, and I am a huge fan of music that has a true meaning. I respect you as a guitarist, but even more as a man who can put the past behind him and the future in front of him. You can tell which songs you wrote by yourself by the way the passion of the lyrics and music blend together. I come from a pretty well off family, but I've had some emotional problems over the last couple years, and songs like 'One' and 'Broken Wings' help to take my mind off my problems.

I am amazed at the way your band comes together musically. Every song you create sounds professional. I like the heavier side of Your music. I have a couple questions, do you have the entire fret board memorized? It seems your always jumping three octives to the perfect fret after some heavy chords. For me it's either the military or the music industry so If you have ANY time for a loyal fan if you could email some tips to me at 'Hardhittn63@yahoo.com' it would be much appreciated. ROCK ON AB

Hey Mark,
Just wanna say: You guys kick major ***!! Your guitar playing totally changed my taste of music. Anyway, I read in an interview in the November issue of Total Guitar that you mentioned something about composing a track where all shredders would play on. Being a shred fan myself, I am very interested in that awesome idea. I was wondering how that plan is coming along and would really appreciate it if you would update us fans on that. Also, if you have the time, please email some tips and advice on techniques and improvisation to my email. Will you be making a website giving guitar lessons anytime soon? I'd be looking forward to all of that, and your new album. Warm regards to all of you AB dudes. \m/ROCK ON\m/

'Brian Marshall. "We have the greatest fans in the world and we can't wait to get back on stage and thank them for their loyalty and sticking by us." '

brian, if you read this (and this goes for mark, myles and scott aswell), its an honour (honor)and a privilege to be your fans :)

You guys rock sooo much and we love you to bits.

so i say 'we honour the greatest band in the world, and we cant wait to get back to the mosh pits, and thank them for there music and for everything theyve done'

thanks guys. congrats on the wind up termination contract.

Mark, Just curious as to how Michael is doing? I heard he was out of the hospital and I didn't get a chance to ask at NAMM in January, too many fans around. Well, take care, tell Bill I said whats up.

Hi Mark,
Watched you jam at HOB in Chicago when the White Sox were playing and of course they are now the World champs. We talked in the foundation room and got an awesome pic of you with a Detroit shirt and I had Chicago, looks really cool in B&W. Can't wait til your next gig. P.S. My sis says hello to all.

Hi Mark,
I'm a long time fan and about average guitarist. I'm starting to compose songs with my band.

I've gained interest in purchasing a PRS guitar, namely yours, (not just because you're an incredible guitarist but also because of its sound and quality)However, I've been looking around some websites but I can't determine if the SE version is optional or capable of having a tremolo bridge. I know your USA models have them, but I'm not sure about the SE.

Sorry for being a bit confusing, but any clarification would be great!

By the way, your live performances are unbelievable!

Hi mark! I LOVE YOU!! You are touched, I saw you at Guitar Center in hollywood with a few of your buds, but I did not bother you, after learning more about you and how you are so down to earth.. I will definitely say hi the next time I ever see ya! My question is.. I am ordering a PRS Private Stock Tremonti W/ trem, and thinking of going with Rosewood neck and an ebony board, and I want to know your opinion of these tone woods, and do you prefer their wide thin neck or do all of your guitars have the stock wide fat neck? and.. do you ever play your Tremonti Millennium Dragon live! Sincerely ABFAN.. Russ

Yo Mark. Any thinking about documentary request? If you ever did would be on your terms. i.e. if you didn't want to talk about Creed for example. Anyways, I like the way you've evolved from the start of Creed to now. You seem to have grown into a man and your guitaring only got better over the years. Drop me a line sometime, be good to hear from you. bye for now,

Myk,

G’day Mark. My name is Wesley Fuller and I live in Perth, Western Australia. I was wondering if Altered Bridge is coming to Australia any time soon.
Also- I was wondering what the pyramid that the band makes on the inside cover of the ‘Weathered’ cd- I think it means something- because it means something very specific to me in regards to my own songwriting. I have written a solo album titled ‘Enemies in Trinity’ which draws a lot of its themes from the Creed song ‘Bullets’. I use a triple rectifer and I still remember the first time I heard one for the first time.

I would like to get a 1306 t-shirt like the one you’ve got. Does it’s meaning have anything to do with cracking ‘base 10’?

Lastly- I was wondering what your thoughts were on Marilyn Manson? He’s been giving me headache amongst other things for a while now. He can be in two places at once it seems.

I’d love to hear what you think.

Yes!! A Mark Tremonti blog :)

Oh baby how I have missed watching you play! Coming back to Boston anytime soon? Last saw you at the Avalon..gee it seems like ages ago.

I really do hope you are doing well, I hope you get a great new label that promotes you like crazy! Hey dont sign with Sony~Epic..they will screw ya pal!

My love for you is genuine and I will always follow you~what ever you do! Can't wait to hear some new material.

I have been following a band around the world watching them play...INXS...I love them so much but would rather be following you! Hehehe!

Hello Mark! My name is Ameya, and I'm 16, in Switzerland! I know you probably get this a lot, but I am truely a HUGE fan of yours, and you've been one of my biggest influences for my guitar learning! Heck, I've even tried learning your whole "One Day Remains" album, which is pretty hard! (I mean, I can get the technical rhythme stuff down, and some solo's but boy, some of those solo's are CRAZY!!)

And I don't know if you're allowed to tell us this yet, but is it true that you will be releasing a new signature PRS model, which incorporates the tremolo? In your Charcoal Burst and some Brazilian Burst color? Would you pretty pretty please also consider releasing the Platinum with the tremolo option? Because I'm sure there would be thousands of fans like myself who'd love to own that finish with trem.!

Anyhow, keep on rocking, I can't wait for the new AB album to come out, I'm sure it'll be great!

Oh, and, would you guys ever be coming back to Switzerland? Because I missed that show in Zürich, and I was very disappointed.

Thanks for your time, and take care,

Ameya K.

mark.....
u and scott phillps broke up the greatest band ever u wanted peace in the world u didn’t want pressure lol u know how *** that sounds lol ever where u go there's pressure deal with it, u want peace in the world thats never gonna exist again sorry to say, i like you and all but what u want is not going to happen u want all these things but u don’t realize the world has changing ever day some1 is dying, world peace is never gonna happen again I hope like peace but it AINT GOING TO HAPPEN ANY TIME SOON. lol do u realise that this band u created the glory from creed is flowing you around ppl dnt care about alter bridge maybe they do but if there was no u there would be no alter bridge the glory is u success is you who is ur singers name i heard is voice his voice is **** compared to stapp's. i SAw what u Read stapp had a accident and he was committed to make another album because he had a accident **** ur selfish **** u didnt even stop to think (oh is stapp ok maybe we should wait until he feels better u pig) ur actually like axel u just only care about ur self u dnt give a **** about any1 else u would do anything and hurt any1 to get what u want even if u have to break something great to get ur own way u think u can create good albums with alter bridge maybe u can but u will never get the success u got from creed weather u want it or not u will never get the same experience from creed maybe u do but u must feel different being with alter bridge, but i am not surprised when u were with creed it was awesome but idk that for sure u Americans cant work things out u cant talk u just walk away from ur problems and move on u wonder why Americans have such a high crime rate, Australians, ppl talk about there problems some of them do and dont, Americans they get shot if they talk back ppl say ur like slash u do hit the high notes pretty good but u know what slash would be 2 twice the man u would ever be in ur life time MATE u should of joined gun's n rose's u and axel have a alot in common about being selfish,

ur a great inspiration to me to play guitar but i dont like the way u handle things unforutally i missed the creed concert in Australia i guess i would like to see them maybe this is the reason why i am saying this but also the reason is u had such a good thing with creed ..... ever singer with a high voice like stapp eg( hinder n dotary whatevea its called) radio stations say oh this band is like creed and **** they cant even hit good notes or cant make magic like creed did (my own prison human clay then to finish it off weathered ) bands these days need 5 albums to get recognized all i can say weather u give a **** or not work ur problems out in the end u might feel better and u will be the better man in all this, if stapp dosent try to work things out u should be a man and take reasonability to fix it.....

Hi, oh what a nice rock n roll men,,,,!!!!!!!you now i'm also fun of rock song............!
