Data Insight
All 99 album tracks are written inside the band. The debut is Mark Tremonti's alone, every word and note of it, which means Myles Kennedy sang eleven songs he had no hand in before writing a line. From Blackbird onwards the credit reads Alter Bridge and covers all four of them.
Quick Facts
Creative Fingerprint
One writer on the first record, four on every record since, and nobody from outside on any of them.
The Story
Three quarters of Creed with a different singer, and eight albums in twenty years with no lineup change and no outside writer. Mark Tremonti wrote the first one on his own.
