Creed's hugely popular comeback tour is rolling through the United States and Canada right now and nostalgia doesn't really explain the scale of demand this time. In fact, Mark Tremonti tells us the biggest fanbase is under 34 years old – which means they were probably too young to catch them when they released their second album Human Clay 25 years ago.

Especially the first three albums they made with producer John Kurzweg; 1997's My Own Prison, 1999's Human Clay and 2001's Weathered. There's plenty of big songs spread between them, but in our new interview with Mark Tremonti he dug into another reason for their success; the band varied the tempos within songs.
