During a recent interview with Audio Ink Radio, Tremonti shared new music for Creed remains top of mind and he regularly sets songs aside to revisit when the time is right for a new album.
“When I’m writing songs, and I go over ideas, I’m like, ‘Wow. That would be a great Creed song,’ I kind of hold it aside for that day that it happens,” he shared. “A lot of times when I’ll write a song that I put on a Tremonti record, I’ll be like, ‘That would have bene a great Creed song,’ and it turns into a song the people like, but they just kind of get forgotten. Some of the ballads on Tremonti records, the die-hard Tremonti fans love them, but I think they would have ben bigger Creed songs, some of them.”
Admitting he’s been surprised at the strong reaction to Creed’s forthcoming reunion tour, Tremonti says, in hindsight, he wishes the group had some new music to go with it.
"If we would have known this [tour] was gonna do so well, we would have planned ahead of time and done new music beforehand,” he shared. “But from an outsider looking in, sometimes people are, like, 'Yeah, just put out new music.' But we'd have to record it nine months ago to have it be ready now, kind of for the tour. If we started writing music now, it would take us months and months and months to write it and then months to record it and then six months of setting it up and by then it's time for us to start ALTER BRIDGE. So it's kind of a difficult thing.”
Before or after, fans are just excited at the thought of new music from the guys as it would be their first album since 2009’s Full Circle.
