Come Fly with Mark Tremonti | Drinks With Johnny #130



Let’s fly away with this week’s guest, the multi-talented guitar shredding & Frank Sinatra singing Mark Tremonti!

Right off the bat we jump into Mark & Johnny’s shared passion for big band music, most notably Frank Sinatra. Mark explains how he was able to assemble Frank’s original band to record the Mark Tremonti Sings Frank Sinatra album, and what that experience was like. Mark also reveals how he was able to get the Sinatra family on-board for this project and how it supports resources and advocacy for the Down syndrome community.

We touch on Alter Bridge’s latest release, Pawns & Kings, and the upcoming tour cycle to support the record. Mark shares some of his favorite (and least favorite) past performances, including a stint on Saturday Night Live complete with a Will Farrell interaction. With recent rumblings from Scott Stapp about a possible Creed reunion, Johnny gets down to the facts with Mark – is a Creed reunion on the books?

We also learn on this episode:
• How Mark began singing like Sinatra
• If Mark is able to remember every guitar solo he’s written
• Why one-off reunion shows aren’t easy
• Where you can catch Mark’s next Sinatra shows

  1. Lovely to see Mark on the show talking about his daughter. What a great cause he is supportting by doing the Tremonti Sings Sinatra project. 👏🏻
    AND OMG, MARK, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING UP THE SUBJECT OF AN A7X & ALTER BRIDGE TOUR! You guys need to make that happen! My fav bands playing together would be a dream come true! ❤
    Great ep, as usual!

  2. Met Mark after a San Antonio Tremonti show – I had his book – A Dying Machine – I told him my daughters name was Stella – the main character of the book. He got so excited and signed the cover – Stella – you are the main character! It was so tremendous. He told me he and his wife always wanted to have a daughter and name her Stella. I’m so happy it finally happened and she is wonderful like mine. Cheers Mark – you are a true class act.

  3. The new album is killer and they are touring America with Wolfie opening 🙌 js if I legit don't die before February ima get me some tickets. Might as well that jabber about to blow up my heart ❤️ for real tho

  4. An avenged alter bridge tour would be massive for me at least… only two bands I have incorporated into my tattoos over the years

  5. I can't believe you scored the guitar player from the FSU-2 tribute band. Gotta get Bert Kreischer on next.

  6. I’ll be honest it’s kinda concerning to hear Mark say Walk the Sky was a “one off” with the sound change (as minor or major as it was). Cause after this album with them reverting to old habits and their usual sound,it just feels like he’s saying they’ll never change things up again. And to me,Alter Bridge is at that point in their career where they need to do that to keep things interesting and fresh and not regurgitated.

  7. My granddaughter was born with downs. Two other birth defects in the family. No previous history. One miscarriage. Two babies lost. Get your booster.

  8. Here’s some free advice, Johnny: When you get a guest like Mark Tremonti, let him speak & stop interrupting him every 10 seconds. 😡

  9. Mark Tremonti was getting to the meat of things on how he got permission to perform Sinatra and Johnny numb nuts had to cut him off and digress on something else……Not cool to keep cutting you guest off whilst they're explaining something!
