Tell me about the Mad Season concert that you recently played with Barrett Martin, Mike McCready and Chris Cornell.
The Seattle Symphony approached Mike McCready about doing the Mad Season record. Immediately, Cornell agreed to do it. He was [Mad Season/Alice In Chains singer] Layne [Staley]’s friend. And then they asked me, I was also Layne’s friend. Regrettably, I didn’t know [Mad Season bass player] Baker [aka John Saunders]. But I feel like I do now, because I listened to his bass playing inside and out.
We rehearsed at Pearl Jam‘s studios. For the last song, “All Alone,” we actually used Layne’s vocal recording. It was just us [McKagan, McCready and drummer Barrett Martin] and the sound guy in the studio, and it was so heavy. Then we rehearsed with the Seattle Symphony, and then Chris came in. That guy can sing! He didn’t even have to warm up. He just walked in from his car, got in front of the mic and this huge voice comes out. He’s not even pushing it! I don’t understand how his body works. But it was super-cool.
