Kyle Meredith with ... Stone Gossard tonight @ 6pm ET on WFPK

#StoneGossard: “Letting your art get destroyed by your bandmates works out.” 

We talked #PearlJam, Painted Shield, why he’ll never play the Sphere, and why he’s not doing a back-to-back solo pose with McCready: “I’ll fall over.”

#StoneGossard says he’ll never play the Sphere, but he will keep making records that sound alive. #PearlJam’s Dark Matter might be their freshest in decades—built fast, full of riffs, and laced with The Cure and U2 vibes. “Letting your art get destroyed by your bandmates works out,” he tells me. We also talked Painted Shield, reissues, and why he’ll never do the classic guitar-god back-to-back move with Mike McCready: “I’ll fall over, and then we’ll laugh, and the song will stop.”
