I don't think anyone's mind is gonna change, but if you haven't really dug into Mark, you might be surprised.

Did Mark actually say that? Huh, surprised. The song is okay, decent solo, drums and bass, never been a fan of Myles voice, but the riffs really aren't there, kinda reminds me of Nickelback actually. Which is pretty funny because I know your opinion of them, hahaha, but I haven't listened to anything besides their main singles. I thought they were a meant to be straight up heavy, but they just seem like normal hard rock. Good lyrics but, did Tremonti write the lyrics? Although, I will say this about Tremonti, I do enjoy the song Bullets.
Yeah, Mark says that all the time. Alter Bridge is definitely more a hard rock band. The Tremonti stuff is much heavier, and Mark sings those himself. Try this.
For me it's Syn or John Mayer. If I have to pick one I'll just flip a coin to decide.
The thing is that these are usually fan voted and alter Bridge always shares them in their social media and avenged sevenfold and Syn don't do that so Mark will get more votes because of that

There seems to be a lot of respect for Mayer on the forum, surprised. You would definitely be leaning towards Syn though, I assume?
It was recently that I started listening Alter Bridge/Tremonti stuff. Synyster Gates was my all time favourite guitarist. But now to be frank my favourite guitarist is Tremonti. He's a nice guy and he's so down to earth. And IMHO he really deserves the guitarist of the decade title. I love Syn without no doubt he's still my 2nd favourite guitarist of all time. But Tremonti is the man who deserves this recognition. He has really worked hard in this decade releasing 4 AB albums and 4 Tremonti albums. He does heavier stuff on his solo band and those riffs and solos are awesome. Not to mention that he also does melodic stuff on AB. And someone here said that Tremonti is a popular guitarist I can't agree with that because lots of people even haven't heard the name Alter Bridge, but everybody knows A7X. Syn is obviously the more popular guitarist out of both. AB is not a heavy metal band but their Songwriting is top notch (eg: Blackbird, Cry of Achilles, Fortress, The Last Hero). AB's singer Myles Kennedy also plays lead guitar and he's also an incredible guitarist (Slash has said that he gets guitar lessons from Myles Kennedy and Myles is technically better than him). If you're not familiar with Alter Bridge I request you all to listen them (AB is not heavy like A7X but still amazing). Myles Kennedy is obviously one of the best rock singers today. AB is so underrated and they are one of the greatest songwriters and musicians I know.

Say what? AB isn't musically much different from creed? LOL. This proves that you've not listened AB at all. Even some Creed fans hate AB because they changed their style. It's clear that you're trying to admit Mark doesn't deserve this title without listening his work properly. Go and listen Fortress album first.
