[kj] Pearl Jam and Guns N' Roses (and KJ???) supergroup in the works

[Brendan Quinn]

McCready is a great feel player, check out Even Flow.one of those few
energetic organic rock out Pearl Jam songs before they went a bit M.O.R. 

 

Anyway, on to the topic at hand. Obviously McCready and the guy from
Screaming Trees have grunge & Seattle in common. Duff McKagan comes from
Seattle, and was always reputed to be one of the guys who would make it out
of the Seattle scene and make it big.which he did, albeit with dirty LA Rock
vs dirty Seattle grunge. He's supposed to be a big fan of punk into the
bargain.

 

Leaving Jazsteroid. One link is that reputedly pretty much all of the
Seattle bands worshipped Killing Joke, there's a quote from Kim Thayil that
every town in the area had a Killing Joke rip off band.and you should all
know by now that Soundgarden and Nirvana were both huge fans. 

 

I missed out on getting pre-sales tix to Killing Joke's NZ gig today, bah.
Have to watch that like a hawk.I'm hoping that them playing a tiny venue
will be a plus not a minus, will it.?

Members of Pearl Jam <http://www.nme.com/artists/pearl-jam> , Guns N'Roses
and Screaming Trees have formed a supergroup.

Pearl Jam's Mike McCready has joined forces with former Guns N' Roses
<http://www.nme.com/artists/guns-n-roses>  member Duff McKagan - pictured
above - and former Screaming Trees drummer Barrett Martin for a brand new,
as-yet-unnamed, band.

Speaking to Billboard
<http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1550437/new-pearl-jam-gnr-screaming-
trees-supergroup-in-the-works> , guitarist McCready said the band will be
fronted by a host of different singers, possibly including Killing Joke's
Jaz Coleman. 

  <http://static.nme.com/images/article/83_PearlJam_L141105.jpg> He said:
"Duff and Barrett and I got together. We wrote some new stuff and we took
some of those old Mad Season demos from that second 'Disinformation' record,
so we are trying to find something to do with those. We're talking to Jaz
from Killing Joke and I've been trying to find some singers to work on some
of that stuff."

Mad Season was the band that McCready and Martin played in with the late
Alice In Chains <http://www.nme.com/artists/alice-in-chains>  singer, Layne
Staley, in the 1990s. The band only released one album, 'Above', which will
be re-released next month.

The band's second album, 'Disinformation', was never released. 

The idea for the new band came together when McCready and Martin were
working on the Mad Season re-issue. Martin adds: "I had a whole bunch of
song ideas and Mike had a whole bunch of song ideas... We decided that we
would go into the studio and record them. Right now they're being sent out
to different singers. Mike and Duff are overseeing that because they know
everybody."
