Mike McCready

Vedder and McCready joined Cheap Trick onstage during the Pearl Jam guitarist's 50th birthday party in Seattle last weekend.

Alice in Chains frontman Layne Staley and members of Pearl Jam, Screaming Trees assembled for just one album as Mad Season, but 'Above' took grunge to experimental new heights.

Pearl Jam were reconfiguring themselves as a band whose ambitions transcended traditional measures of success, and that meant making a record on their own shifting terms.

Adrift in mid-career doldrums, Pearl Jam grappled with devastating loss and political angst by releasing one of their most muscular and weird albums.

With a different name but an unmistakeable sound, Mookie Blaylock (aka Pearl jam) made a pit stop on their way to superstardom at Seattle's Off Ramp Cafe on October 22, 1990.

Cornell and McCready teamed up on their sometime supergroup Temple of the Dog’s “Hunger Strike” and Mad Season’s “River of Deceit.”

The legendary performance will be re-released next month as a double LP with new liner notes by drummer Barrett Martin.

The surviving members of the grunge supergroup Mad Season are collaborating on Duff McKagan's upcoming album.

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