Creed Reunion: "Best is yet to come!"
04/27/2009

Myles Kennedy reportedly not amused one damn bit.
By Fred Mills
Insurance company secretaries and waitresses for the Outback chain of steak houses took to the streets this morning in celebration of the news that multiplatinum-selling band Creed was reuniting for an album and summer tour. We are not making this up: yes, the mook-rock legends are back together, with the original lineup of Scott Stapp, Mark Tremonti, Scott Phillips and Brian Marshall. See the full tour itinerary, below.
Rumors have been circulating on this for half a year, However, rather than indulge our verbiage-reflex, in a rare departure from BLURT's usual coverage of such news, we will turn the mic over to the bandmembers and allow them to hang themselves.
Guitarist Mark Tremonti: "We're all very excited to reconnect with our fans and each other after six long years."
Drummer Scott Phillips: "Our career as Creed came to a very abrupt and unforeseen ending. After reflecting on some of the greatest personal and professional moments of our lives, we've come to realize that we are still very capable of continuing that career and our friendship on a grander scale than ever before."
Bassist Brian Marshall: "This is a development we are all happy about. It has been a long time since the four of us have taken the stage together, and without hesitation or reservation this is something all of us are in to. The anticipation to get back out there is electrifying."
Singer Scott Stapp: "Its amazing how life can change and bring you full circle. Time gave us all a chance to reflect, grow and gain a deeper appreciation of our friendships, artistic chemistry, passion for music, and sincere love for our fans! It's rare in life to get a second chance to make a first impression and we embrace the opportunity. We all believe the BEST IS YET TO COME!"
(Ed note: Myles Kennedy, who formed Alter Bridge with all the Creed dudes not named Scott Stapp after Creed split up, was not available for comment, as unconfirmed reports have him in London, stalking John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page.)
