Pearl Jam and Guns N’ Roses Members Superband In The Works

Members of rock bands Pearl Jam and Guns N' Roses are working out to form a supergroup. The band will have Mike McCready from Pearl Jam, Duff McKagan, former Guns N' Roses bassist and former Screaming Trees' drummer, Barrett Martin. The band has not yet been named.

Rolling stone reported that the band is looking for multiple vocalists. "Duff and Barrett and I got together. We wrote some new stuff and we took some of those old Mad Season demos from that [unreleased] second Disinformation record, so we are trying to find something to do with those," McCready told Billboard. "We're talking to Jaz [Coleman] from Killing Joke and I've been trying to find some singers to work on some of that stuff."

McCready and Martin played with Alice in Chains singer and Layne Staley and bassist John Baker Saunders called the Mad Season. While McKagan and Martin had worked in Walking Papers, this was the band's inspiration.

"I had a whole bunch of song ideas and Mike had a whole bunch of song ideas and Duff had a whole bunch of song ideas that were not making it into Walking Papers," said Martin. "We decided that we would go into the studio and record them. Right now they're being sent out to different singers. Mike and Duff are overseeing that because they know everybody."

Martin said once they can rope in vocalists they will be able to set release dates for their music. "As the different singers finish their songs and turn them in, that will determine when they get put out," he said.
