MARK TREMONTI On CREED Reunion: ‘We Just Have To Wait Till The Time Is Right’

Mark Tremonti says that “stars” would “have to align” for a reunion of CREED to take place.

Two years ago, CREED updated its Facebook profile with an old photo, igniting rumors of the multi-platinum act’s imminent return.

Asked about the possibility of a CREED reunion, Mark said: “You never know. It’s just one of those things where whenever it comes up, either our camp or [CREED singer] Scott [Stapp] has something going on at the moment. So our stars have to align. In fact, right now if a promoter said, ‘Hey, we wanna do a huge CREED tour,’ I’d have to bypass all the stuff we’re working on at the moment. So we just have to wait till the time is right.”

Last September, Tremonti told The Rock Experience With Mike Brunn that constantly being associated with CREED — nine years after the band completed a tour in support of its fourth album, 2009’s “Full Circle” — was “definitely both a blessing and a curse. It’s a blessing because I wouldn’t be sitting here talking to you right now if it weren’t for CREED; I wouldn’t have this career, this long career,” he said. “But at the same time, for my entire life, I will be that guy from the band CREED, which is good and band. ‘Cause certain people loved CREED, certain people hated CREED. So no matter what I do artistically, I’m gonna be the guy who was in CREED that was, at certain points critics liked to come after us. So I’ve kind of lived in both worlds — I was in a band that sold lots of records but got some critical attacks, but I also got to be in a band that didn’t sell as many records but got critical praise. So I got to see both sides of it. It would be great to have it all in one. But it’s tough.”

In 2019, Tremonti said in an interview on Jamey Jasta‘s podcast that he was sitting on an album’s worth of material for CREED. Asked whether CREED could reunite again, Tremonti said, “People say, ‘Is it done? Is it over? Is there new music coming out?’ I’m sitting on an entire CREED album… When we were together doing the reunion tour, we put a lot of music together and I have like really sketchy little demos of probably 13 songs. I listened to them maybe a year ago and they’re good songs.”

Tremonti added: “It’s just, there’s no time. Is it good enough for me to put everything on the back burner that I’ve been working on for the past 14 years? No. Is it good enough to maybe 10 years from now or seven years from now… or some big resurgence happens or there’s an anniversary where everybody’s like, ‘We want to see CREED and the world demands it like they used to.’ I wouldn’t say no.”
