Mark Tremonti
Mark Thomas Tremonti (born April 18, 1974) is an American musician, singer and songwriter, best known as the guitarist of the post-grunge band Creed and lead guitarist of the alternative metal band Alter Bridge. He is a founding member of both bands, and has also collaborated with many other artists over the years. He formed his own band, Tremonti, in 2012, releasing the album All I Was. The band's sophomore album, Cauterize, was released in June 2015.
Since his early years with Creed, Tremonti has received positive recognition as a guitarist and songwriter and has received a number of accolades, including one Grammy Award for Creed's single "With Arms Wide Open." He was also named "Guitarist of the Year" for three consecutive years by Guitar World, and in 2011 he was listed in Total Guitar magazine as the fourth greatest heavy metal guitarist of all time.
Early life
Tremonti was born on April 18, 1974, in Detroit, Michigan. He grew up in an Italian Roman Catholic family in Grosse Pointe, just outside Detroit, for most of his childhood life before moving to Wilmette, Illinois. He began to become enthralled with music, and bought his first guitar at the age of eleven. When he was fifteen, his family moved again to Orlando, Florida, where he enrolled in Lake Highland Preparatory School. During this time, his mother was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, which left Tremonti devastated. After graduation, he moved to Clemson, South Carolina to attend Clemson University to major in finance. After his freshman year in college, he moved back to Florida to enroll in Florida State University, where he was reunited with his then future Creed band mate Scott Stapp, who Tremonti had known in high school.

by: Mark TremontiIt's what you're dying for
Been stripped off your pride, been damned before
But you never learn
Are you really blind?
Lost sight of the truth and lost your mind
You will break no more, break no more
Do you feel much better all alone?
And out of place
(Betrayed)
I fear the worst of days are yet to come, wash it down
(Somehow)
Lay your burden down
Decided that most would watch you drown
The truth it burns
Now you must go on
A slave to this life, your chance is gone
You will steal no more, steal no more
Do you feel much better all alone?
And out of place
(Betrayed)
I fear the worst of days are yet to come, wash it down
(Somehow)
Whoaaa
Yeahhh
All you want is more
You came in and you took it all
And all you wanted to be was hidden somewhere just out of reach
Now and forevermore, forevermore
Do you feel much better all alone?
And out of place
(Betrayed)
I fear the worst of days are yet to come, wash it down
(Somehow)
