| | | Skillet sounds like Hinder. There are also:
Alterbridge is Creed without Scott Stapp. Yes, I don't know why the hate on Creed either.
Barren Cross was a mix of influences from Black Sabbath, Dio, and a couple hair bands. They broke up many years ago but are poised to make a comeback.
Check this out, however: http://www.christianhardrock.net/artists.asp

Also, more awesome bass work came from The Supertones (back when ska was trendy). Tony had some insane stuff going on. |

human clay is actually a brilliant piece of music as a whole.
mark tremonti is an amazing songwriter.
barren cross was heavily influenced by iron maiden IIRC.
FWIW-it is too bad we put labels on music

i di see them live in 1990 in a club and it was simply the best show i had seen up until that point.
i thought they were a good heavy band regardless of the label.

Creed, Alter Bridge, and now his solo record. Not terribly shabby from a pretty laid back and straightforward guy like him. |

his arrangements of certain things are nothing short of genius at times.
i do not think he is a great guitarist; a much better all around musician IMO

I liked Creed's music the first go around regardless of how Stapp handled himself and just about wet myself the first time I heard Mark "unchained" in AB and then with Myles on lead vox, it was just a perfect storm. Easily in my top 3 modern bands, no question.
Mark does get a little noodly for me at times but he can play anything he writes (thankfully- see Kirk Hamster lol  ) live so I give him props for that. Some solos are better than others.
Besides Jerry Cantrell, if I could jam with anyone currently alive, it'd be MT. |

Thanks for all the responses guys, a lot of cool stuff here.
UPDATE: I didn't take the gig. Too R&B for my tastes.
