It’s crazy how Mark has gone from selling out arenas and writing DIAMOND certified records with Creed, to his less successful (yet better) stuff with AB and Tremonti, and it’s still all about the music for him! I still can’t believe they aren’t more popular.

[@whateverofficial9747]

TheNerdyGinger the end of the day music industry controlled by Mega Stream Companies and Hollywood I don’t think rock and metal rise again like ol day so easily

[@TheNerdyGinger]

Even within the rock scene, his bands still aren’t played much

[@igornunes4938]

Yeah!But on the other hand,they may nit the most popular Band,but they DEFINETLY have the most solid dieheart fans.I include myself,they deserves ALL the best

[@MarkToast99]

They're fairly new and their lineup has gone through some changes, not to mention side projects are not usually as successful as the bands those side projects spawn from. However, it seems like Mark is presenting Tremonti as a full independent band with these last few albums, so in time I think they're gonna make it huge in the rock scene. They've already gotten loads of air time on public and XM radio, and now that they're opening for Iron Maiden they're going to skyrocket. Mark's proving to be a genius when it comes to expanding the different industries he branches into and he's on the fast track to making Tremonti a household name. I wouldn't be surprised if Tremonti became a staple in rock/metal the way bands like Metallica did back in their time (and still are today for that matter).

[@hawksfan816]

yeah its a bunch of bull most stations wouldnt know good music if it hit them in the face

[@nomanno9867]

I appreciate Mark for his songwriting, his guitar solos, his vocals, his class, his humility, & his work ethic. Everything this guy touches turns to musical gold. The best part is you can trust him to keep pumping out new (QUALITY) music. Between AB & Tremonti, you get new material every year. And what's so impressive is how it's all always so damn good! Guy is one of the best musicians of our time & he's got a personality/attitude that is impossible not to admire.

[@mateusz.w.nawrocki]

Good that Eric Friedman was included in this interview.

[@matthewmedeiros5533]

Mateusz Nawrocki LMAO

[@frayedendsofsanity1733]

Lol

[@zidahya]

I guess they will shoot many interviews in one take and then deliver them to us part by part. It is just easier to grab two band members even if you dont need them for the whole set of questions.

[@austinmoser5056]

The album is a masterpiece now i'm just waiting to read the novel

[@MahmoodMikdadi]

what's name of the Novel? don't tell me it's called autonomous by neela newitz

[@austinmoser5056]

its called A Dying Machine

[@TheRealJaded]

Hated it. Doesn't compare to the previous three albums which kicked ass

[@austinmoser5056]

Jaded I agree that it wasnt as good as the previous albums, concept albums generally arent as good as normal records, but they allow the artist to be more experimental and try different things which I like, also the story behind the record sounds awesome

[@mcmerly1355]

I love this album. Imho, it's great when artist experiment and try something new, especially if it's not like the "typical thing" the fans are used to. So curious about the novel 😁

[@pistoFF]

great album. heavy with nice harmonies.

[@karizaalves7477]

This guy deserves all the success he has. Great!

[@julienbendel1349]

Absolutely fantastic album! Just bought it :)

[@RH-YT]

It's crazy to think that he says he's not a fan of concept records yet he writes a dying machine, which in my opinion, is a song writing / story telling masterpiece.

[@R3db3ard18]

It is a masterpiece! I can't help but create a scene in my mind while listening.

[@sunsetblvd693]

Listened through the album three times already. Fucking love it. Rock on Mark! Great interview as always too.

[@cyberoach]

I love Tremonti's solo stuff! Killer voice, and those heavy riffs and guitar tone and drums and everything is just superb!

[@loicklenny481]

Desolation one of the best of the album..✊

[@katjackson5777]

Just want to say thank you because I listened to that song because of you...and I fucking love it!

[@kjharish]

Desolation + found, omg i can never get tired of those. Fucking masterpiece

[@madziuIa]

Amazing record! Really love it

[@keithfreeman4015]

One of the greatest albums I’ve ever heard.

[@basicallysam_]

Could've at least had a question or two for Eric. Man looked like he felt excluded 😭

[@Dragondarkness30]

Cant wait to get my hands on the new album and the book. Should be an amazing read.

[@nickyelovich3872]

I love Mark Tremonti. He will go down in history as a musical (not just rock) great.

[@RavenflashLP]

The album is a freakin' masterpiece!

[@BLANTTA2]

I cannot wait to read this book

[@VOUXE]

This guy is a fucking beast, absolutely amazing writer and musician, just pure talent and drive.

[@TIAMATPW]

Beautiful album. 10/10

[@raindropcleaners]

This album kicks ass.

[@LukeParsonsMusic]

New album is tremendous

[@kjharish]

It's tremonstorous

[@craggyexplores3070]

Just purchased the album on vinyl cant wait to blast it from my kanto yu6 speakers come on.

[@comicbookprodigy995]

craig cornthwaite I bought the purple edition, waiting to play on my kanto yu4's!

[@jackrowbotham1315]

Best album of the year

[@luvrockriffs3584]

Make it Hurt and Found are my favorites. I can't wait for the book!

[@inflameslp311]

You have just mentioned my favorite and least favorite tracks, respectively. I turn the album off (or start it over) after Desolation because I've gotten so used to strong closing tracks from them (Decay, Providence, and Unable to See) that Found is a complete and utter letdown IMO.

[@luvrockriffs3584]

I think I like it for what it is. A total departure from anything else. Just something different on it's own. A Lot Like Sin is pretty awesome too. I'll get on one song and wear it out and then move to another until I complete the album.

[@inflameslp311]

I hear you. I guess I'm still working through my expectations. I'm a bit of a creature of habit, so changing it up like that has thrown me off. I'm the same way about wearing songs out but I'm still stuck on Make it Hurt. Can't get that damn song out of my head, and I'm okay with it for now, but I don't want to lose interest.

[@SteamandScenic]

Fuckin awesome album! Masterpiece

[@slamhassan4964]

I love this song "A DYING MACHINE"

[@apokw]

I love Tremonti to bits and I was super pissed to find out that they weren't opening for Maiden in my country. Gotta see them another day I guess

[@chrispeterson9447]

The new album is beyond sick

[@MEZOboiJAy]

The book is amazing trust me once you've read it the album has so much more meaning

[@loganbremerman1248]

Gruhammad!!!

[@killyouass]

I'm gonna read that novel!!!

[@CerealKiller600]

Can't wait to see Tremonti open up for Maiden in Zagreb, so much talent at once its insane

[@EMERSON.]

Is a bright light album!

[@heffheffheffheffheff7182]

Yee good album

[@gav7256]

Trust ❤❤❤

[@TheEmptyDiary]

Am i the only one who got upset to hear the HUGE spoiler Mark told us about the book?? 😅😅

[@katjackson5777]

RIGHT??

[@WillLeitner]

i know i’m just watching this now, a couple days after ordering the book and he’s just like, “yo here’s a spoiler”

[@dennisaguilar835]

So Mark Tremonti is working with Cyberpunk 2077?

[@co8544]

Now tour Canada goddamit. My band will open for you in Calgary

[@tammiealmany4691]

Axys Assault 😽👉😼👉😸

[@markstunes]

they did.

[@src248]

They did one show in Toronto, that isn't a Canada tour.

[@co8544]

Steven Chabot Well I guess Toronto is the center or the universe.....so I guess it might count 🙄

[@sonicfuker]

That was a The Outer Limits episode. www.imdb.com/title/tt0667998/

[@metallicaguy123]

I swear, even at marks age now, he is still a sexy man

[@piyushsharma5177]

Noel Mendez yea.. he's a badass dude

[@B3NICKY22]

Eric stop talking!!!!

[@METALSAULGOODMAN]

TheSturmgeist 92 nope

[@LiterallyEd]

Take notes, Realdoll.

[@MegaChorro123]

I always thought Bringer of War would be a great song for Thanos 😂

[@Nate-mt1pp]

"Chases him down and kills him"...............spoilers Mark, spoilers

[@benstephens34]

Nathan Shipley well yeah, but if you've ever heard the song couldn't you already see it coming? Sounds like "I, Robot" to me.

[@tammiealmany4691]

🕵👉😼👉😽

[@neiloshodges2816]

Dude is a great musician and everything but maybe its time to change up his look? Just saying.

[@MordecaiTheAwesomeBluejay]

I may give them a listen soon. I rarely listen to today's Metal because since most of it is trash compare to Metal back then

[@Celestial_Being666]

no new metal is not trash. that bullshit new rap and new pop music is completely and utterly trash

[@MordecaiTheAwesomeBluejay]

I am absolutely, brutally right.

[@MordecaiTheAwesomeBluejay]

Most of today's Metal is just emo shit. No heart to their music whatsoever

[@tp3821]

Mordecai The Awesome Bluejay #PuppetMaster You have to try to look for good stuff, yes it is hard to like new metal music but this new Tremonti album, the Breaking Benjamin album, and new Sevendust (which has its moments) all are pretty good albums. But yes I hate that emo stuff

[@Spermofdog]

Stay away from "core" genres and you'll be OK. "Core" music is an artificial, uninspired, formulaic noise - there is nothing alive in it.

[@littleteethkeith]

I wish Creed would get back together.

[@ponchoandy]

As someone whl LOVED Creed in high school... FUCK no.

[@thombakker2835]

Said nobody ever

[@MegaChorro123]

Ask and you shall receive 🙏🏻
