they replaced a guy that sounded like a poor man's Eddie Vedder...with a guy that sorta sounds like a poor man's Chris Cornell (more like Audioslave CC, he couldn't touch Chris in his Soundgarden prime). Bastards. I have to say, i kinda like Tremonti's shredding/guitar playing, but the sound is the same old cheesy, corny, sappy "hey VH1 will love this!" kind of shit that Creed was.
