Myles Kennedy was visiting Amsterdam where he and the band Alter Bridge got the chance to hang back and relax for a while. Apart from his latest addiction – Indian food - , he tells us the touring plans and how well things are for the band lately. Oh, and Spinal Tap.. Very important.

-If I was dating someone and I would show them Spinal Tap and they wouldn't think it’s funny..? EEHH! NEXT!

A personal difference for singer/writer Kennedy is the fact that he co-wrote the whole album this time, whereas he joined the band during the writing proces with the previous album. Mark Tremonti, who we all know of his Creed period, is also writing on this record. Myles tells us what kind of differences this brings. He also explains why his new ‘whats going on in the world’-approach is a harder way of writing lyrics.

-A lot of what we do as a band, is dealing in parts..

Lyrics have to be real, says Kennedy, they have to be sincere and not just sound nice. That’s very important for the singer. But not as important as creating a connection with the fans. That's the best thing in the bussiness. Watch and listen how Kennedy explains this because it’s a whole lot better than this piece of text.

-It’s kinda like you write your own script

Than some insight in the songs. Do we hear a Dimebagg reference..? The lyrics contain subject as drugs and other rock and roll-like experiences. In the end Myles tells us a funny –at least for us- story about when he fell face down when he tried to stand up on a monitor during a Dutch festival show..

-It was a Spinal Tap moment. I felt like a complete moron..

We spoke to the rock band Alter Bridge on the Dutch Pinkpop festival 2006. The guys were on tour but also very busy writing and recording new songs for the next album. Check out what they have to say about Scott Stapp and the new Alter Bridge album.

Toazted visited the Dutch Fields Of Rock festival in Nijmegen, Holland. June 18th 2005. We interviewed Mark Tremonti from Alter Bridge about this tour, new music and more. Alter Bridge is the new band of the members of the American band Creed. Singer Scott Stapp went solo. Mark Tremonti tells why.

After the split of Creed back in 2003 singer Scott Stapp left the band. The other members began to focus on a new project called: Alter Bridge. Now it's a band and their first album got them really good reviews. Toazted asked bass player Brian Marshall and guitar player Mark Tremonti about this first effort! (August, 2004)
