Подробнее о видео

Mike McCready's involvement in Temple of the Dog stands as a testament to his incredible talent and his deep bond with Chris Cornell. Temple of the Dog was a one-off grunge supergroup formed in 1990 as a tribute to Andrew Wood, the late lead singer of Mother Love Bone. Chris Cornell, Wood's roommate and close friend, initiated the project, inviting McCready to join along with Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard, Matt Cameron, and Eddie Vedder.

McCready's guitar work on tracks like "Reach Down" and "Hunger Strike" brought a unique melodic and emotional depth to the music. His bluesy, soulful solos added layers of expression, complementing Cornell's powerful vocals. In interviews, McCready credited Cornell with fostering an environment of creativity and collaboration, describing the experience as a heartfelt and transformative moment in his career.

The project not only honored Wood's memory but also marked a pivotal moment in grunge history, as it brought together members of what would later become Pearl Jam and Soundgarden.

Chris Cornell on Mike McCready “He went out of his mind. This guy’s a fu**ing rock star, like, he’s got problems. We just thought he was this nice little kid, but he’s got something in there. It’s like he’s infected”
