What's your favourite Creed (and I guess Alter Bridge/Tremonti) riff?<br>Check out the Harley Benton DNAfx GiT Pro here: <a href="https://bit.ly/3JAM2E5">https://bit.ly/3JAM2E5</a>

The intro, the verse riff, and then the bridge riff in "What If" are absolutely sick.

I've listened to extreme metal almost exclusively for over two decades. I don't care what anyone says about Creed. It's easy for some people to rag on them, but honestly, they're easy to listen to. I've always had a soft spot for this band.

I think there's a difference between, guitarists secretly love Creed, and guitarists openly love Tremonti.

that Bullets riff sounds like it could pass as a Lamb of God riff

Cant forget about Brian Marshall on Bass. He carries a lot of the melody in Creed.

Torn is by far my favorite Creed song. It’s the whole composition, not just one player that brings it home. Great track. Creeds debut is now severely overlooked.

Man, Creed was such a formative musical experience. In my own playing but also just in life. Tremonti's melodies carried so much hope without sacrificing any edge. This was cathartic, thank you.

Creed will always be in my heart! "Higher" was the first song for me and i bought a guitar the next week. Now i'm 41 and still playing Creed.

I just watched their show last night here in Vancouver and Creed rocks. Tremonti and the boys sounded tight and heavy and Scott Stapp was in great form and sounded great. The crowd was so into the music and they brought the house down with the last few songs.

Torn, Ode, What If, Say I, Wrong Way are some of my favorite Creed songs to jam on the guitar. Their first two albums are iconic to me. They had clean parts and big hooks, but they also had darker and heavier moments as well. There were some haunting elements to their songs on the first two records.
