Alter Bridge: 10 Trivia Facts Only Super-Fans Will Know

5. What Age Did Mark Tremonti Record His First Song?

Unbelievably, despite Creed not forming until 1993 and emerging with a fairly radio-friendly sound, the Tremonster had already laid down a thrash-tacular version of what would later appear on his first solo album, All I Was.

Performed at the extremely young age of around 12-13 during an eighth grade talent contest, Wish You Well brings about some heavy Metallica demo tape comparisons, with the fuzzy guitar tone and Mark's attempted-aggressive vocals still being very admirable.

Wish You Well would arrive sounding better than ever some 25 years later, but it's amazing to think there was a version of it put together when Mark was a much younger player.

You can check out the 1987 version of the song over here (providing it hasn't been taken down).
