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

[Wayne Walker]

Jaz has guested vocals a few times now. I can think of

Tribazik - Molten
This is Menace - The Great Migration
October File - ?
Zilch - Fastfucktrack (?)

Anyone got a definitive list?

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, Guns N'Roses and Screaming Trees have formed a supergroup.

Pearl Jam's Mike McCready has joined forces with former 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, guitarist McCready said the band will be fronted by a host of different singers, possibly including Killing Joke's Jaz Coleman. 

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 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."
