I miss Micro Machines, they were fucking rad
"He pushed me in a direction for this latest album that we've done with him, that we're still doing, to do more leads," added McCready. "I'm doing leads on almost every song. And that hasn't been the case with Pearl Jam for a long time. If anything there's been songs [where's it's been], 'Don't put a lead on it' and sometimes I go, 'Well f*** I want to do a lead', it's sad. And sometimes it makes sense to not have one but it's kind of what I'm the best at. So I missed it for a few years, and a lot of records
"So Andrew went completely crazy and said, 'You're putting a lead of every single song' and some of them have two," McCready revealed to MusicRadar. "And that's what's happened and it's been really fun to do that again because it's given me the freedom to express myself where I haven't been for the last couple of records."
"He kind of kicked our asses," he admitted. "He kicked us to record quickly, got Matt Cameron to play more like he did in Soundgarden, in my mind. Matt Cameron's pushing this thing and it makes it sound more powerful than anything we've done in a long time.

But how about another Ten/Vs with Matt Cameron playing like he did in SoundgardenMonkey_Driven wrote:We don't need another Ten/Vs.
I'll pass. Give me an album of inspired new stuff like DoTC over a Ten/Vs. retread from a bunch of 59 year olds.Farmer John wrote:But how about another Ten/Vs with Matt Cameron playing like he did in SoundgardenMonkey_Driven wrote:We don't need another Ten/Vs.
Ok but what about Ten/Vs with Mike leads, Matt drumming like Soundgarden and churchy Boom jamz!?Monkey_Driven wrote:I'll pass.

agree this is sad for mike but was apparent to many of us: how few guitar solos were present on every new albumtragabigzanda wrote:Interesting how Mike said he's "sad" about not being able to rip solos on the last few records...And how there's sort of a slow, low-key drip of comments over the last few years that indicates they recognize they've been resting on their laurels.
How long until one of them just says flat out "Lightning Bolt sucked"?
