Kinda wished it was longer. Hope someday Jack White will do a DJ set of favorites on Pearl Jam Radio.

thanks Demetrios! that was pretty interesting. really the first time i'd heard more than a word or two out of Jack White.

He seems to be incredibly passionate about music and now i kind of get how that can make person a bit 'insensitive' towards other musicians who he see's as less in love with music as himself.
But at the same time, I got the feeling that he had to dial down a bit being the presence of Mike who is perhaps the most humble musician on the planet. It definitely made for an interesting dynamic.

Jack White Talks Pearl Jam Bringing Back The Blues

Mike McCready’s interview with Jack White aired on Pearl Jam Radio on SiriusXM on Wednesday night. White and McCready talked about Pearl Jam bringing back the blues, and why the blues influence is lacking in rock today. Here is our transcription.

White said, “We were just saying on the bus a couple days about Pearl Jam, our bass player Dominic who is playing with me was saying, it was so great when we were in high school when a double guitar band came out with Pearl Jam, and how nice it was to see that. It had blues undertones throughout it, because there was punk bands, and heavy metal bands, but at that time, in the late 80’s, it didn’t seem like there were that many rock and roll bands. The rock and roll was sort of like Guns N’ Roses, that was the rock and roll of that moment. So it was great to see a double guitar band that had that bluesy feeling to it because we were kind of grasping at straws, taking whatever we could, because there really wasn’t anybody doing that.”

He added, “I think that when people say about modern music, ‘What is wrong with modern music? Where is rock and roll at?’ The hard part is that, even if you see bands on MTV now, there are these bands that have guitar, bass, and drums, and they’re the formation of a rock and roll band, but they don’t have any blues undertones or references in their mind to fall back into. Which is sort of, it’s okay and everything, but I think that the ones that have a little taste of that, 10% inside of knowing where the roots of this all came from, somehow they’re able to do something more interesting. Because if painters nowadays, if you work in Photoshop, maybe you can make something beautiful, but if you’ve never actually gone into a dark room and worked with the materials and developed the film, or worked with some kind of analog mechanical means to get that, you’re missing out on a big part of what you do as an art form.”

Mike McCready said, “I agree with that, and thank you for the Pearl Jam stuff. Myself, I got to see Stevie Ray Vaughan play 4 times, and the big turning point for me was seeing Muddy Waters on The Last Wall on Channel 9 one night by accident. I was way into metal, and I still love metal, but I was like, okay, I don’t need to play it that fast any more.”
