"A lot of our best songs happened that way": Mark Tremonti on the unexpected key to Creed's success on Human Clay and their remarkable comeback 25 years on

Mark Tremonti and Creed performs at Madison Square Garden on May 22, 1998 in New York City.

On paper it shouldn't; Creed were huge even at a time when rock albums could sell millions of copies. Their second record Human Clay saw them playing stadiums and as of June 2024 has sold more than 20 million copies. But even so, something feels different this time.

"It's as big as it's ever been," Mark tells us. "You know, my agent, he said that this is probably as big or bigger than it's ever been right now. Tonight, we play for 18,000 people. It's night after night. Humongous crowds. I love it."
