Stern Pinball Press Release

November 2, 2005 - Gary Stern, Jolly Backer and Steve Ritchie of Stern Pinball recently went to see Alter Bridge play at Chicago's famed House in Blues and went backstage after the show.  Former member of Creed and present guitarist for Alter Bridge, Mark Tremonti is a huge pinball fan.  He owns several Stern machines and has known Gary Stern for several years now.

Gary Stern says, "The show was tremendous and it was great seeing Mark again.  We discussed pinball, music and all sorts of things.  It's great to see such a popular artist into pinball the way Mark is."

The evolution of Mark Tremonti, Scott Phillips and Brian Marshall as artists is marked with the debut of Alter Bridge.  After selling 30 million albums worldwide, Creed has called it quits and its members have chosen to pursue new creative directions.  Over three albums, Creed achieved countless industry accolades, had two # 1 albums, and played to millions of fans around the world.  Mark Tremonti states, "After all Creed achieved professionally, I felt that I needed to refocus on the goals that I had personally.  One of those goals was to get back to my rock and roll roots.  After Creed took a break, band-mate Scott Phillips and I started to jam together again and realized that we both shared the same vision and were surprisingly anxious to get back out there and start doing it again."
