Rage Against The Machine drummer Brad Wilk discussed auditioning for Pearl Jam in 1991 in a recent Let There Be Talk podcast interview. Alternative Nation transcribed his comments.
“They go to England to mix Ten, which Tim Palmer was doing, I get a call from Eddie: ‘We just lost our drummer, I’d love for you to come up and meet everybody. I’m going to send you the tape of the songs.’ I’m like shitting my pants, I’ve never been out of the country, I’ve got to go get my fucking passport, I’m listening to the songs, I’m super young and thinking this is my break, this is my time. I go to Europe and we play together, me and Eddie have this history, and we’re bonding over in Europe, but to the others I’m just the new guy.”
“The original drummer that played on Ten had drug issues, so they needed a new drummer. So this was right after that guy, Ten wasn’t even mixed yet. They’re at this farm house in England mixing Ten, and I’m just so young, and they’re on Sony/Epic Records at the time.
Long story short, I go there, and I just don’t click musically, mostly with Jeff, who is an incredible bass player, awesome guy, and this is a classic case, it doesn’t matter how good you are, chemistry is everything. It just wasn’t clicking. For me, I wanted to be blinded by that, I just want to be in a band with my buddy, what an incredible opportunity. It didn’t work out, and I remember kind of leaving Europe with my tail between my legs, driving off going fuck, there was my opportunity.”
“I was there about a week, we’re rehearsing, we’re playing. Some of it I thought sounded incredible. Maybe some of it just didn’t, for whatever reason, that’s the way it goes. It wasn’t exactly clicking, who knows for whatever other reasons, but I just wasn’t the guy.”

You know doesn't eddie being like "I SURE AS HELL AINT NO REPUBLICAN NEITHER" or whatever he says kind of ruin the point of the song? I thought it was like Im not a democrat Im not a republican, Im a patriot. But Eddie makes it clear he has a side when he sings that so...I dunno

Maybe it's a nod to McCready saying he really liked Barry Goldwater as a young man.

The band is usually very political, but this still surprised me.
