Pearl Jam's Mike McCready on Being Influenced by Eddie Van Halen

[@erlineandrews]

I love how proud the other band members look.

[@maskedxeni178]

Theyre all so sweet

[@ringleader5150]

I Love that Howard always talks EVH with all the guitar players, and each one always has a story to tell about the great EVH🤘🏻

[@RobotInvasionIncoming]

Stone at 1:35 is just kicking back enjoying Mike shredding. Two great guitarists: Mike & Stone. Each with their own unique style.

[@privatepenguin3137]

This entire band looks like great friends that genuinely like hanging out together. Good to see.

Mike McCready - So under rated! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@kenjordan1362]

One of my favorite concert going moments was when Mike McCready and I pointed at each other. It was during the Riot Act tour on June 16th, 2003 🤘

[@atravelerofbothtimespace4172]

Saw the champaign illinois gig that year it was great eddie was spotted in the local record shop b4 the gig Great year for the band I'm still looking for a sbd recording of that gig

[@Spooky_515]

Mikes cool for giving it a shot. Didn’t flinch at not nailing it. That’s confidence

[@Seedy446]

Mike McCreedy playing Jimi Hendrix’s Hey Baby(Land of the new rising sun) with Chris Cornell singing is my favorite version of that song!

[@jodymeyer3187]

Mike is so humble

[@darknes7800]

I want to hear Mike talk about Mad Season and working with Layne Staley.

Great record.

[@KubaFrackowiak07]

My fav guitarist of all time!!

[@mandalorian48]

Towards the end of the show I saw PJ play in PHX back in 2000, Mike had switched to playing a "flying V" & would rip into Van Halen riffs in between the last few songs of the set. ..He's an amazing guitarist.

[@denisefreitas6727]

Magic Mike!!!! 🤘🔥

[@DinoC543]

Two phenomenal guitarists in one band.

[@Guilhermetmfranco]

My main inspiration to learn guitar: mike and stone.

Mike F**kin McCready is underrated. He is exceptional.

[@KerioFive]

1:45 Stone in the back 😂

[@AHewett]

To the instant haters, Mike McCready can nail this. I've seen it. He is a great guitarist and is very humble - maybe take a page out of that book before passing your judgement. 🫠

[@matthewrobinson9955]

He probably can but that was not eruption 😂

[@fredwerza3478]

He kind of pulled a Satch, didn't he?🤣

[@flipjupiter1]

I love Pearl Jam and I love Van Halen. 2 of my top 5 all time fav bands.

[@fredwerza3478]

Van Halen was a lot more influential than Pearl Jam

[@whateverwhatever5715]

One of the most underrated guitarists in music ...love McCready

That might be the first time I’ve seen McCready not NAIL something on guitar. He is apparently mortal. 😂

Take a few minutes more and Mcready played Eruption 100%

[@trevornever27]

Joe Satriani just saw this and felt just a little bit better

[@kyleandrewsofficial]

😂 he’s not warmed up. It was early for them. Mike can do all that

[@douglasdog1]

Except Mike just pulled that out of nowhere and likely not practiced on it

[@trevornever27]

@@kyleandrewsofficial oh no doubt,, just haphazardly trying to bust out w that is ill advised... he doesnt have anything to prove really, jst made me laugh thinking of Satch watching it

[@myerkord]

Mike is a very creative guitar player and different from Satch😂 big difference how would you compare? 2 different playing styles
