Ep.48 MARK TREMONTI

ALTER BRIDGE. Mark Tremonti first rose to prominence as the guitar player in Creed, but his high school years were informed by Venom, Slayer, Mercyful Fate, Death Angel, and most of all, Metallica. He talks about swiping his older brother's tape; learning "Sanitarium," "The Call of Ktulu," and and "Orion"; meeting James, Lars, Kirk, and Rob over the years; his early bands; his many fantastic stories about Eddie Van Halen; Alter Bridge vocalist Myles Kennedy nearly joining a reformed Led Zeppelin; getting a guitar from Hetfield; his dream Metallica setlist; and much more. Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, anywhere you listen.
