He also gives an update on new Pearl Jam.

It's a big ol' love fest.

A patriotic shred fest.

Blow out the candles!

Earlier this week we learned that Pearl Jam's Mike McCready had entered the studio with Paul McCartney and Lady Gaga.

Mike McCready: The new Jimi Hendrix.

Nobody ever set out to be a grunge icon — at least nobody who actually became one.

Pearl Jam are now in the homestretch of recording their next album and guitarist Mike McCready has some hefty expectations for what's to come. He told Seattle's KIRO Radio that he foresees the still untitled disc as being "way better than 'Backspacer.''

Mad Season's run sadly ended before its time, as two of the band's members -- Layne Staley and John Baker Saunders -- died before a second album was ever completed. However, the group's two surviving members -- Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready and Screaming Trees drummer Barrett Martin -- recently decided to revisit some of the uncompleted material for a deluxe edition 'Above' album reissue packa

There have been differing trains of thought as to when we might see a Pearl Jam album, but guitarist Mike McCready says that if it were up to him, he'd push to make it sooner rather than later.

A new supergroup is in the works, Rolling Stone reports, and it features Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready, former Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan and onetime Screaming Trees' drummer Barrett Martin. The as-yet-unnamed unit still needs a vocalist, but the search is on for singers to help them crystallize their ideas and form some new ones.

As two longtime members of the Seattle music scene, with time served in bands like Mad Season and Screaming Trees, they only needed to reach out to some old friends. Some very famous old friends.
