Mike McCready Explains Pearl Jam's Relationship With Nirvana
. "There probably was some of that, but toward the end of it, there wasn't," McCready says. "I think he [Cobain] and Ed had talked. I remember we were at the MTV VMAs, and I just jumped over the seats, and I said [to Cobain], 'Hey, I heard you and Ed might be doing a record some day. I'd love to play a lead on it.' And he goes, 'Oh, we'll talk about it some other time.'" McCready also spoke about the band's early days and all the hard work Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Nirvana had to put in to get noticed: "We all came from the same scene, in my mind. We came out of a very provincial city that was not very supportive of music, and we had to do our own thing, and flyer everywhere. There was never support from the city to do music there, not as there is now. We had to do that, Nirvana had to do that, the Soundgarden guys did that, but we'd all go to each other's shows, too. We'd go to the same parties. So we all kind of came up together. When it got huge and we all went on the road, we were happy for everyone else, and I wish Kurt was happy, too." more on this story Gibson.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
