5/12/10: "Hello my friend, we meet again...its been a while, where do we begin??!" SooOooO. Recent updates to the tour page have added all of the tour dates for BOTH Creed and Alter Bridge that are currently available. You have PLENTY of chances to get out there and "Just Give Love To Flip" so be sure to do it if you can! Creed recently performed on Leno to promote their upcoming tour in the states, while the Alter Bridge side of things is finishing up the recording process on the new ABIII album. The AB guys are currently in NYC working on the mixing process. Along with a ton of dates oversears, hopefully by the end of this year, we'll have some new tunes out of the AB camp, too! Also, if you get a chance, the Golf Channel is running an hour special on the Monday After the Masters tournament that Flip participated in during April. Word has it, his game went quite well...but I don't know that he's done it before, so I vote that we get Flip involved in the crazy-pants contest next year! 9/25/09: Watch the Creed show LIVE from Houston, TX later tonight!! Visit www.rockpit.com for your access pass! Working in conjunction with the USO, this performance will be broadcast to our troops overseas and the guys will be going for a world record for the number of cameras used within a live performance. 9/21/09: Heads up for upcoming Creed dates: The new album "Full Circle" will be in stores on 10/27. Visit our bulletin board for links to find the singles "Overcome", "Rain" and "A Thousand Faces". They will also have mentions in this months SPIN and Rolling Stone magazine. Also on 10/27, the Creed guys will celebrate their album release date with a performance on the Regis and Kelly Show...and on 11/3, you can check them out on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. 9/1/09: GEAR ALERT!! Over the past few weeks, Scott told me that he has been working with DW Drums to come up with a NEW KIT! Our longtime buddy, Dave, has confirmed that Scott is now officially using the DW Jazz Series kit in black ice finish. The kit is still a work in progress, so look for an update to include all black hardware coming soon!! 9/15/09: The Alter Bridge "Live in Amsterdam" DVD is now available!! 8/12/09: Nothing like a little good natured ass chappin' to get results! HAHA...nah really. Look out--he's back in full effect, kids! Click HERE for the latest Road Journal entry....wait for it, wait for it...*GASP* ...FROM THE ROAD!! LOL 8/7/09: According to music news, the new Creed single "Overcome" will be released to radio on August 19th and fans will be able to buy the single when it is released digitally on August 25th. It appears that the band is hoping for a Fall release of the new Creed album "Full Circle". Let's not forget that ALTER BRIDGE is still on the map---and their LIVE DVD from their last trip to Amsterdam will be released on September 29th. The DVD deluxe edition will also feature a 60+ minute documentary, a photo gallery, a 16 page book and "other goodies." Just because I personally love dealing with Amazon, my vote is to go HERE to pre-order your copy today! (note: Amazon does show an earlier release date, but the 9/29 date is from the AB camp! Of course, the earlier date WOULD be nice!) 8/6/09: Good luck to Flip and the Creed boys as they get their "reunion" tour underway TONIGHT. Be sure to tune into VH1 tomorrow night at 9pm EST to see Creed perform three songs that will be recorded live at the first show in Pittsburgh, PA tonight!! 8/5/09: Since he's slackin' on the road journal feature here on FlipOnline, you may want to "follow Flip" on TWITTER~!!" 5/1/09: Thanks to FlipOnline member, Jared from Ohio, for posting his link to an interview Scott did with Buckethead on 4/29/09.

Yes, hell has frozen over...and well, would you consider the news about "Swine Flu" could have anything to do with "Pigs Flying"?? Not sure, but please know that with this latest bit of news, Alter Bridge has NOT broken up!!! This is only "supposed" to be a brief outing that will hopefully only support MORE Alter Bridge projects in the future. With that said, please CLICK HERE for information about an upcoming new CD release and Summer Tour from the original Creed lineup!! 9/26/08: Are you a member of the Alter Bridge Street Team?

Don't forget--the first tune off the cd, "Rise Today" will be hitting the airwaves at the end of THIS MONTH!! Start requestin' the tune from your local radio stations! 7/15/07: FLIPONLINE OUTAGE NOTICE! Just wanted to give the loyal FOL-ers a heads up that we will experience some downtime in 2 weeks when the FlipOnline server moves to a new location. The outage will happen sometime between 8pm on Friday, 7/29/07 and 4am on Saturday, 7/28. It is expected to keep us offline for up to 15 hours, but the server folks have advised us that all sites should be back up & running by 8pm on Saturday night. So sorry for the inconvenience! If you really miss us, you can find us on MySpace !! 7/9/07: It's official! The press release has been posted all over the 'net, Universal Republic Records is the "big winner" of the label battle. Tour itineraries and more album info will be forthcoming. As a side note for the drummers in the crowd, recognize that name, "Paul Geary"? MMmyep! One of ABs new managers, nowadays regarded as one of the top management guys out there, was once better known as the drummer for Extreme! That means he gets automatic approval from the FlipOnline crew! HAHHaaHha 7/5/07: According to FMQB, the new Alter Bridge single, "Rise Today," is set to be released to the airwaves between 7/30-7/31 on Universal Republic Records. 7/4/07: Rumors have been swirling for weeeeeks that Alter Bridge is now on Universal Records, which as of right now, can "technically" only be confirmed by the fact that they are added to the URMG site as an "artist". Thanks to Sammers for pointing out that Michael Tremonti posted that an official press release about the label will be made on 7/9/07. 6/28/07: Congratulations to Scott, Brian, Myles & Mark for successfully signing the contract with their new label (one that has a proven track record for some highly successful bands!!). Official press release will follow...this is a *VERY* good thing!! 6/27/07: The time is upon us! As always, a tremendous amount of "thanks" to Mrs. P, who gave us a heads up that Flip's traditional "pre-new album tattoo" is goin' down as I type this~! That says to me that the whirlwind is about to pick up...new album, radio singles...TOUR! Yay! Also noted--the boys will be doing some new publicity shots around mid-July. 6/7/07: I got a quick preview of a couple new AB tunes this week, and I've gotta tell you---I think we're in for some greatttt new stuff. For whatever its worth, I posted some of my thoughts on the few songs I heard on the bulletin board...so head on over, log in and check out the thread linked above ("About a few new tunes...") or click here. 5/23/07: Road Journal #4 --- with a few answers to some of the fan emails that were sent in, has been posted...if your question didn't get answered this time, don't worry. It's comin'~!! :) Check out the Road Journal to see what Scott had to say~!! 5/20/07: For two segments of Scott from "Quest for the Card" on the Golf Channel, head over to this thread on our bulletin board. You do need to log in to view, so if you don't already have a user name, go ahead and register yourself! 5/9/07: Now that I've had a moment to chill afer the show, the best "news" I can give you at this point is that Alter Bridge will be putting the finishing touches on the record this coming Thursday...and then sending the tracks out for mixing. The best estimate for the new cd release date is September....and I think its likely that they may do a little touring in the late summer. They've also changed up their management team...its not been confirmed, but I've heard the names of three firms---Front Line Management, PRG (Paul Geary! Yes, Paul Geary from "Extreme"...hah!) and also Global Artist Management. Both Front Line and PRG are pretty major players, so I can only presume this means better things for the AB guys. 5/5/07: Just back from last night's acoustic performance over at Foxwood's, and it was nothing short of amazing. I took several videos throughout the performance, which included TWO NEW SONGS...everything has been posted over on the bulletin board. If you don't already have one, go create a user name and check 'em out!! I promise, you won't be sorry... 4/24/07: Hallelujahhhh....Road Journal #3 is finally here!!!

PS: Flip has cdonfirmed that the producer of the new cd is Michael "Elvis" Baskette... and lemme tell ya, "Elvis" has got one helluva tight resume' goin' on!!! Good things are comin'~!!! 4/2/07: The Charity show on 5/4 has been confirmed by the AB camp. Make sure to check out the tour page for more information on the show and how to get your tickets. 4/1/07: So I found some info tonight on an upcoming AB show that should be of particular interest to those fans in the New England area, like myself!! Check out the FlipOnline Forum for more info, or head to the tour dates page because I updated that, too! Also, Scott is a confirmed participant for the Hootie Golf "Monday After the Masters" Golf tournament on 4/9/07. We've gotten pictures for the past two years, so hopefully, we'll have new ones coming soon! 3/11/07: New album update from longtime AB fan, James, who ran into the AB guys at the Sevendust show in Nashville...the drum tracks for the new album are done, and Marshall is now laying down the bass tracks. Good times. Thanks to James & Jared for sharing that news! 3/5/07: The boys have wrapped up pre-production in Nashville, and as of today...*drum roll*...Scott began laying down the drum tracks!

This new layout has been in the works for a LOOOONG time...and finally its here. There was a long delay, but I didn't want to wait any longer---and I'm releasing the new layout for your enjoyment without some of the new features in place. Take a look around--a lot of the material is the same, but there's some new stuff added, as well. The site now features a NEW message board, and a brand new photo gallery to keep tabs on all of our pictures. 11/25/06: It is with a heavy heart that we tell you that a long time "FlipOnliner" and "Pitter", Kat--Gatalove, passed away on 11/25/06. She was 41 years old. Kat was a dear friend to many of us at FlipOnline, and we would like to express our heartfelt sympathy to her family at this difficult time.

My apologies for that, but I've been crazy busy and yeah...there really hasn't been much in the way of AB or Flip news to report to you guys anyway!! Hopefully, I'll get some stuff worked up here on the site within the next month--we've got a treat for all the Flip fans...its just a matter of me gettin' my butt in gear!! Soon...i promise!
