    Fun interview, Stone is such a thoughtful, down to earth guy. I guess they all are for that matter.
    Appeared to be an animal, yet so polite.

    Today I talk with rock legend guitarist, Stone Gossard. Stone's distinct guitar sound has become synonymous with what we understand as the other Seattle sound of the '90s. On one hand, there were the more chaotic, big fuzzy guitar sounds from Steve Turner, Kurt Cobain, and Kim Thayil, and then on the other, there was Stone's rock/glam-influenced power chords that defined Mother Love Bone, Temple of the Dog, Brad, and Pearl Jam. We talk with Stone about his legacy and his influences. We also take time to give flowers to the many musicians that he's collaborated with throughout his career. Some deep thoughts and surprising moments of candor from my old friend—enjoy!

    A Fresh Face in Hell ft. Stone


    Focused on creative renewal, Stone joins Jonathan Evison’s podcast where they dive into Stone’s perspective on Seattle’s music, enduring relationships, and creative ethos…


    I was really lucky to be in [Green River] because all those guys cared about art early. I went to the Northwest School of Art, so that was another element - going to an art school, starting to learn about artists and how they made an impact. Or thinking about modern art or the way that people were perceived, whether it's Jackson Pollock in terms of how somebody could just take a style, a technique, and make that have such a big impact with a shift that was anti-art in a way, or anti-art in a typical sense but that could create moving pieces of art.

    I was always thinking meta in that way - of how Ace of Spades is not Mozart, but why does it make you fucking flip out when you hear it? What is it about that? Or different songs where it's not about the complexity or the subtlety of something, but it's a primal percussive pulse that literally anyone could be possessed by if they were freeing themselves up to feel free to express it. You know?
