I'm pretty sure Mike played guitar for the movie. In other words, those solos and a lot of guitar parts were Mike playing.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

The main character in "Almost Famous" (the journalist) also plays in the movie, "We Bought A Zoo" which is also directed by Cameron Crowe. In we bought a zoo, there is great music, Neil Young, Temple of the Dog, Cat Stevens etc. Also, one of the characters is McCready. Cameron Crowe definitely loves our guys!!

You actually made me laugh out loud ! :lol:

I may have to check that movie out sometime. Is it an older move? Do they periodically replay it on TNT or USA or any channels like that?
