1	* ChorusOnlySong: "Rise Today" is mainly known for the "Yeah! Oh yeah!" hook.
2	%% * EpicRiff: "Rise Today".
3	* FanNickname: Scott Phillips is sometimes called "Flip", a nickname that was also used while he was in Music/{{Creed\|band}}.
4	%% * GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff
5	* GrowingTheBeard: ''One Day Remains'', though not a bad album, badly shows the band's Music/{{Creed\|band}} roots. ''Blackbird'' was the moment they saw their sound really blossom into something distinct from the former band.
6	** This could actually apply for their first four albums, as ''AB III'' and ''Fortress'' garnering more critical acclaim than their first two albums, with ''Fortress'' being considered their best album by critics.
7	* NeverLiveItDown: These guys once played in Music/{{Creed\|band}}. It still maligns them to this day.
8	* PeripheryDemographic: They seem to have been utterly embraced by classic rock affectionados as the band to "truly" carry to the torch of {{rock n roll}}.
9	* SignatureSong: Their general set-ender is "Rise Today". When Kennedy toured with Slash, it was the only AB song in the set. But their most widely known song is probably "Metalingus" due to its notability as the theme song for professional wrestler Wrestling/{{Edge\|Wrestler}} (especially since it frequently tops lists of the best wrestler entrance music of all time). Other well-known songs are "Blackbird", "Open Your Eyes", "Addicted to Pain", and "Isolation".
10	* SequelDisplacement: To the point that some people saw the Creed reunion as an Alter Bridge side-project.
11	* SpiritualSuccessor:
12	** They've been called "The young Music/LedZeppelin" while Blackbird has been described as "The next Stairway."
13	** If only "Blackbird" the song got actual radio play while the album was being promoted.
14	* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel:
15	** The band has managed to get far more respect than Creed thanks to their GenreBusting sound and less annoying singer.
16	** Within the band itself, ''Blackbird'' is near-universally consiered a much stronger album than ''One Day Remains'', which isn't necessarily bad but has much more Creed influence lingering than their later material.
