McCready and Gossard

Steff-Zero

I'd like give some well earned respect to two of the most underrated guitarists in rock history, namely Mike McCready and Stone Gossard of Pearljam. These guys were my inspiration when I first picked up a guitar and plugged her into my dad's old Pioneer HiFi.
PJ have just released a new album called "Backspacer" and from what I've seen on youtube, they're back in full force. Can't wait to get my mits on it!
That said, Ament is a sh!t hot bassist and Vedder can hold his own with his arsenal of Tele's as well!

Amen to that!

+1 with that. Stone Gossard especially. Was listening to the album Ten this morning at 4 (don't ask) and songs like "Evenflow" and "Alive" (besides Jeremy) still kick my ass.

+2!! Weird, but in my grungie teens it was Nirvana and the heavier bands that I listened to. Pearl Jam was The Enemy for some angsty unexplainable teen reason... And now Pearl Jam is just about the only nineties band (along with Soul Asylum) that I still listen to regularly.

Yeah man! Stone is a legend! He and Jeff composed most of their tunes back in the early days.
