What is the knock on Alterbridge?

I've always been befuddled by the people I live near in Alabama (which is a terrible state for music, believe me) that instantly hear the word Alterbridge and laugh. Harmonics and I were hijacking a thread for a while on tSECRant talking about their upcoming album name and I did some thinking on the subject.
Is the stench of Scott Stapp still with 3/4s of the band? It seems like before people even hear the band's music, they associate them with Creed and immediately have a sour opinion. Musically they are some of the most talented in the world and put out some really catchy stuff. I'm bitching I know, but I would like some honest opinions to clear the confusion up

Before I go on....how do you figure that? I can understand country and stuff like that, big dogs like Alterbridge among others? Nooooo way.

rock and roll
I don't care for the cheese cock rock stuff though, and I feel that's what alter bridge falls under

I think part of it is the genre. They have switched to full time hard rock, but they used to be labeled alternative.

I'm with doc- Alabama is definitely not a joke in the world of music.... Though I'm sure there are a lot of terrible fans.
As to alterbridge they are good. Something about their music hasn't clicked for me. A great band should be more than the sum of their parts and right now they have great parts and just a good result.

Alterbridge reminds me of velvet revolver. Talented but never got popular mainstream.

I'll say it. Creed > Alterbridge.

There's good music coming out of Alabama for sure but let's not get crazy here

bama has some GREAT music coming out of it... couchbycouchwest confirmed it for me this year...

what non-country, non-southern rock is coming out of Alabama?
Posted on 7/7/13 at 11:30 am to 3xlsugrad
Seriously. Tremonti is the only mega rock star to come to Alabama in like 1000 years
Posted on 7/7/13 at 11:36 am to FourThreeForty
Scott Stapp was far from being the only thing in Creed that. I think Alterbridge proves that point nicely.

There is some great music coming out of the state for sure but I think Texas and Oklahoma would have a little bit to say about naming Alabama the best right now
