MARK TREMONTI (CREED, ALTER BRIDGE) | NFR with ROBB FLYNN

[@mikejackson1003]

"Myles doesn't even listen to Testament, he can't name 2 songs!" 🤣🤣🤣 Great story. Mark is such a grounded dude ❤

[@Stephanie-ni9sp]

Tremonti and Machine Head touring together, hell yes!

[@patrickolivier1]

Mark is the reason I picked up the guitar at 12-13 years old. Been playing ever since, thanks Mark!! 🙂

[@dangelusexcell1]

Tremonti and Alter Bridge are fucking incredible bands. Nice interview.

[@metalmac2347]

Mark Tremonti is easily my favorite guitar player out there today. Also the nicest guy ever, every time I’ve talked to him has been a treat. And Robb I appreciate the honesty about Alter Bridge, most people would be blowing smoke up everybody’s ass

[@metaltoons]

I really appreciate how honest Robb is: I too have never been able to tolerate Miles’ voice! Robb’s authenticity with his guests is probably why these are some of the best podcast interviews I’ve ever heard!

[@ohboy2118]

This has to be the best Tremonti interview I have heard. The whole life story in one go. How cool is Mark? He comes across as humble, down to earth with no ego yet so talented. Sadly the way the UK covid situation is going I think the Tremonti Jan 2022 tour will be cancelled. I can wait and see another time. I'll still buy the albums as I have come to the party late only really finding AB and Tremonti during Covid and am really sad it has taken me this long to switch back on to real music.

[@mirokic]

Me too man. I have discovered Alter Bridge in June 2020 and i have instantly fell in love with them. Got all of their CDs and Blu-ray recordings. I cannot wait to see them live once, hopefully next year when new album is planned to be put out. And the new Tremonti album is also awesome. Mark is such a nice and humble guy and great guitar player and songwriter on top of it. Interview was magnificent 🤟

[@RG049]

@@mirokic I also discovered Alter Bridge in 2020. But it didn't take a long time for me to become a hardcore fan of them 😁😉. Myles and Mark are simply fantastic! ❤️🤘.

[@metalmac2347]

I’ve met him and talked to him 3 times, and not only has he remembered me each time, he acts like an everyday dude. Definitely humble and extremely nice

[@ivanpavlakovic9629]

Awesome itw! Love Mark's music, and he's a great dude! I opened for him on a whole EU tour back in 2018 . He's also such a genuine, grounded man. I love every moment we spent with him on the road! His last album "Marching in time" is awesome! Go and check it out!

[@Grimeyhoob]

Yes 🙌 Tremonti is a legend. Although I was never into Creed, I could see the Dimebag and Thrash influences that Tremonti incorporated into the sound. Fantastic guitarist. And Alter Bridge and Tremonti are both killer. A really good and humble dude as well. Rock on Robb - loved the entire series and been watching since the start of this pandemic. 🤘🏻

[@stu_mow]

Please tell Mark we would love to hear a 20 minute doom metal song by him. Give it to us Mark!

[@sirenacarter6474]

Yes!!!!

[@oldschooldeathmetal8417]

I wanna see it too

[@kornfreak78]

Tremonti rules! Such an awesome guitar player. I get that people shit on Creed, but personally I love those guys. I still listen to their music to this day.

[@Airtrooper719]

This was one of the best interviews I've seen yet Rob 👌

[@__-bc4bs]

Tremonti is ace, experienced, great musician, great stories, great advice.

[@dawnfaller4535]

Gotta say, a bit late to the party…just discovered your podcasts & I’m loving them! You’re the coolest guy & have a way of bringing out the best in everyone just by being yourself! Backtracking a bit, the John 5 (episode) was amazing! I had the pleasure of seeing him with his band (The Creatures) here in Toronto 🇨🇦 last yr …a super young up & coming band I support, (Sticks ‘N Stones) opened for him & I can honestly say first hand, he’s definitely into giving the younger generation of musicians much needed support, a platform and he truly ‘cares’!! LOL, I had no idea he started playing live at such a young age himself & it shocked me that I actually related to sooo much he talked about in his early yrs & some things he spoke of at the end of your ‘chat’….thoroughly enjoyed it…he’s a phenomenal player, puts on an insane show and one of THE nicest dudes around! He’s doing an impressive job with Motley Crue & I wish him all the best! Thank you for that! Saw Judas Priest live too (last show of their 50 Years of JP Tour in Hamilton Ontario 🇨🇦 last yr & again, enjoyed the K.K. Downing episode! I’ll have to work my way through your list! 🔥🎶🤘🏽 Soo….the man of the hour, Mark Tremonti…I unfortunately missed him live with Alter Bridge earlier this yr in T.O….had tix, just couldn’t go…but, I do have his newest CD ‘Marching In Time’ which you played a bit of ….I blast that constantly in my car (yup, old school here, 😜) plus it’s my fave place to listen to my music! Epic body of work front to back!! 🔥🔥🔥 Btw, when will Machine Head be touring North America, specifically TORONTO, Ontario 🇨🇦? Would be LIT to experience a live show! CHEERS! Dawn 🖤

[@RB-oc7ti]

Mark Tremonti is such a talented guitarist and song writer. So is Myles Kennedy. Two differing rock / metal styles that mix together to make such a distinctive, awesome sound with Alter Bridge💪. And both seem to be very chill and grounded human beings, which is a breath of fresh air in heavy music.

[@TIGERGUTS]

Mark Tremonti is a RAD DUDE! I have his PRS amp too and i love it!

[@thomasche]

Wow, good gear sir 🙏🏽

[@kathleenandbruce]

Been thinking about getting one for myself for x-mas.

[@TIGERGUTS]

@@kathleenandbruce Please do! They are mighty at high volumes and REALLY good with low volumes!

[@sirenacarter6474]

Mark Tremonti is Beautiful in every way!

[@thyop89]

Love Mark Tremonti. Such a unassuming a lovely dude. Personally I'm a huge fan of Myles too as both a guitarist and singer and I think he has one of the best voices of all time in rock but I appreciate that his voice isn't for everyone so I appreciate your honesty.

[@rowdystaudi]

what a great interview. love hearing how he started out. love the tunes Tremonti, keep rockin bro.

[@robinrocksmusic]

Funny about what Mark says about Myles not knowing anything about Testament...KInd of reminds me of when I met Godsmack back in 2019 and asked Shannon Larkin for a guitar pick and he says I'm a drummer...I was so embarrassed..but I really had no idea what he played..I just knew who Sully was..but I did get a guitar pick from Mark from a recent Alter Bridge show in Biloxi MS at the HardRock and I looked at it and it was his guitar pick from Creed with his name on it..I was so excited since Creed is no longer together and I never got to see them in concert. Mark's guitar pick is worth more to me as a collector's item!!! Love this interview as well!!!

[@zombiemachinery4868]

I get my picks from Amazon.

[@johnwhitehill3373]

A cracking interview with Mark. Followed AB for years, and that's the best interview I've heard. Think you need to go full-in Robb. Get AB on your show... You'll be a convert by the end 😜

[@Skeware]

I loved this! Huge respect for Mark Tremonti. His work through the years speaks for itself. I'm a huge fan of his Tremonti band. I like Alter Bridge a lot, but I understand what Rob Flynn said because sometimes there's some tracks I skip for probably the same reasons. Huge respect for Myles as well though.

[@stephenelliottmusic]

Been reading and listening to Tremonti interviews for twenty years and this is one of the best. Lots of great insight on building a fan base and dealing with the music business that I hadn’t heard him get into before.

[@erichockenberry6140]

I saw Testament with Slayer, Anthrax, Lamb Of God and Behemoth on their last tour. They were great! I appreciated them growing up but to see them was unprecedented. Every band was great!

[@twilliams8721]

Mark talks more openly then I've ever heard regarding the beginning, middle and end of the creed dayz.

[@ianclare1231]

Great interview, really enjoyed it. Can't believe we got almost to the end though and Robb says he doesn't like Alter Bridge. Awkward!

[@lepereafelix]

Funny how Mark & Robb, both legends, feel like kids when meeting their guitar influencers. These encounters make up some of the best stories.

[@smashville2897]

Very unexpected. But very awesome. Mark is a true shredder. I would love to see him do a solid true metal album. Great interview brother.

[@patrickolivier1]

The solo Tremonti stuff is pretty metal man! 😁🤘🏼

[@mirokic]

@@patrickolivier1 he's not on metal-archives, until then he's just not metal enough 😁😁

[@RG049]

Listen to the debut album All I Was from his solo band

[@patrickolivier1]

@@mirokic just the fact that you let “metal archives” tell you what you should consider to be metal or not nullifies your opinion on weather Tremonti in-fact is metal or not. 🤷🏽‍♂️😉

[@Fuel1873]

I’m geeking out because I’ve never imagine seeing this two together talk. Great podcast interview Robb & Mark!

[@FeronGER]

Wow... Thank you sooo much Rob. Merry Christmas to ur Family and u!

[@jonathanbanacky5955]

I WANT TO HEAR A 20 MINUTE DOOM SONG BY MARK TREMONTI PLEAAAAASE

[@MetallicA29]

This is freaking great!!!

[@braca977]

You're not singing RHCP song Rob, "Higher ground" is originally a Stevie Wonder's song...and RHCP did a cover !

[@kathleenandbruce]

Great interview! Really enjoyed listening to the two of you talking to each other. You guys got along great and had some interesting conversations. Had to hear the whole thing, thanks for doing this.

[@chandlernoseworthy95]

No fuckin way!!!! I was just thinking yesterday "Robb would probably really like Alter Bridge". Then I see you interviewed their lead guitarist...

[@leonman112]

1:17:30 Too bad he doesn't like Alter Bridge.

[@rowdystaudi]

@@leonman112 haha. cant believe he said that! gotta love the honesty though. but damn, their riffs are so great!!!

[@Andviseo]

Best Tremonti interview ever!! Thanks, really enjoyed Mark's story especially how Creed happened!! You brought it out awesomely Robb! :) The Fiji story was great! I lived on Kauai and everytime I'd karaoke Arms Wide Open locals would buy me a beer! So the whole pacific Islanders loved Creed!! Lol

[@thomasche]

Yes! That's awesome Robb 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@rcnyoplait]

Interview starts 14:30

[@EGtoneroom]

Thank you dude

[@mikeyhodge6191]

I had no idea he was so metal lol. Even more respect for the guy 🤘

[@feroxk.9266]

you could hear that alot in the Human Clay record of Creed. some songs are just so heavy.

[@RG049]

Listen to the debut album of his solo project "All I Was". You won't be disappointed.

[@johnunderwood3132]

I’ll be listening. Single dad and my kids are older so hell yeh I’ll be here

[@Ultimat3Broski]

mark is fucking awesome

[@Kingkrunk3]

Man id love to hear a dark record from tremonti, it would be super heavy 🤘

[@dirtybeard70_Alivein85]

Robb always look forward to ur shows. I'm a driver and ur show is the cherry on top before the wknd. Anyways maybe future interview with the mighty MIGHTY Tom Warrior.r.Also love it when you just shoot the shit. How bout a whole show on tour stories. Hail and Merry Kissmas

[@sully2737]

Great interview! (And I have to wonder: when Mark dropped "Mark Tremonti Sings Frank Sinatra" in 2022, did it completely blow Robb's mind?)

[@yasserjamilq8]

Quite surprised Robb doesn't w joy Myles Kennedy's voice or Alter Bridge for that matter.

[@spiderdirt]

Yeah it was pretty odd to hear. I was like WTF !! Myles is one of the best rock singers on the planet, there's a reason the guys in Zeppelin wanted him to join their project.

[@josefrancisco6969]

Hi Rob, this a random question . I was looking some of my old Machine Heads Bootlegs and on one show from 95 you were just doing the vocals without a guitar and the other dude doing the second guitar i think was Marten from Meshuggah do you remember that? It was on that tour with Meshuggah as opening act. Cheers!

[@chumbakett]

Tremonti has a Ufc Fighter look

[@josephdennany2634]

[@martymartin2894]

I cannot get into alter bridge at all but this guy seems like a really nice guy.

[@RG049]

They are an incredible band, their songwriting is top notch. But they are not metal, they focus on melody than being heavy :D.

[@martymartin2894]

@@RG049 the fact that your saying there not metal wouldn't bother me. I like all good music like the eagles and some country but alter bridge didnt connect with me at all.

[@RG049]

@@martymartin2894 Okay I understand you :D. But if you want to try them once again, check out Blackbird, Metalingus, In Loving Memory, Cry of Achilles, Watch Over You. It's so hard to choose 5 songs, but all of them are popular AB songs :).

[@jojo-yx5rx]

Wtf! Was not expecting those inspirations.

[@justincapoccia3837]

Not gonna’ lie, if the interviewer tried to hit me with the “your stuff isn’t my cup of tea” comment, I’d have gone off…in a polite way of course, lol. Hell no. There’s a reason Mark does what he does and Matt does what he does…

[@RB-oc7ti]

Douchy comment by Robb to lay on Mark there. Robb couldn’t carry Tremonti’s nor Kennedy’s jockstraps as far as songwriting musicianship or vocals go! Mark definitely took the high road there - unlike Flynn.

Rob shouldve bit his lip on Myles Kennedy thet was no class,this coming from a MH fan not a Creed or AB fan

[@RB-oc7ti]

Agreed. Robb just came off as a giant douche there. Mark took the high road for the underhanded slight. Mark (and Myles) are all talent and class. Robb showed himself as otherwise.
