Biography
Early life
McCready was born in Pensacola, Florida, but his family moved to Seattle shortly after his birth. As a child, his parents played Hendrix and Santana, while his friends listened to Kiss and Aerosmith; McCready would frequently play bongo drums. CHILD syndrome (or congenital hemidysplasia with ichthyosiform erythroderma and limb defects) is a genetic disorder James Marshall Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix) (November 27 1942 – September 18 1970 was an American Guitarist, Singer and Songwriter For the Costa Rican football player see Carlos Santana (footballer; for the Mexican academic see Carlos Santana Morales. Kiss (also typeset as KISS) is an American rock band formed in New York City in December 1972 Aerosmith is an American Hard rock band sometimes referred to as "The Bad Boys from Boston " and "America's Greatest Rock and Roll Band" [1] At the age of 11, McCready purchased his first guitar and began taking lessons.
In eighth grade, McCready formed his first band, Warrior, whose name soon changed to Shadow. Originally a cover band playing during free periods at Roosevelt High School, the band eventually began writing original material. See also Roosevelt High School for schools of the same name Roosevelt High School (RHS is a Public school in the Seattle Public Schools After high school, Shadow attempted to cut a record deal in Los Angeles, but, according to McCready:
We played to a couple bartenders down there, but even though it was a bad scene, it was a good experience. Los Angeles (lɑˈsændʒələs los ˈaŋxeles in Spanish) is the largest City in the state of California and the American West Basically, we weren't that good of a band, and we didn't realize it until we got down there. I guess we lost our focus, got really bummed out and came back to Seattle. [1]
Shadow split up soon afterwards, and McCready lost interest in playing guitar for some time, stating that he "was so depressed about life. "[2] McCready was inspired to pick up his guitar again after attending a Stevie Ray Vaughan concert at The Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington. Stephen "Stevie" Ray Vaughan ( October 3, 1954 August 27, 1990) was an American Blues-rock Guitarist The Gorge Amphitheatre is a 20000 seat concert venue located above the Columbia River Gorge in George Washington. George is a city in Grant County, Washington, United States. The population was 528 at the 2000 census Washington ( is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. McCready said:
As soon as he started "Couldn't Stand the Weather", these huge clouds rolled in overhead, and rain began pouring down. When the song ended, the rain stopped! It was like a religious experience, and it changed me. It lifted me out of the negative mindset I was in, and it got me playing again. I thank him forever for that. [2]
McCready gradually went back to playing guitar and finally joined another band called Love Chile. [1] A childhood friend, Stone Gossard, went to one of the band's shows and appreciated McCready's work after hearing him perform Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Couldn't Stand the Weather". Stone Carpenter Gossard (born July 20 1966 in Seattle, Washington) is an American Guitarist and Songwriter. [3] Gossard had known McCready from back before high school when the two would trade rock band pictures with each other. [1] After the demise of Gossard's band Mother Love Bone, he asked McCready if he wanted to play music together with him. Mother Love Bone was an American rock band that formed in Seattle, Washington in 1988 [4] After a few months of practicing together, McCready in turn encouraged Gossard to reconnect with his Mother Love Bone alum Jeff Ament. Jeffrey Allen Ament (born March 10 1963 in Havre, Montana) is an American Bassist and Songwriter. [3]

The band started rehearsing songs written by Cornell on tour previous to Wood's death, as well as re-working some existing material from demos written by Gossard and Ament. [5] This was McCready's first recording studio experience, and he took a central role in the project. A recording studio is a facility for sound recording. Ideally the space is specially designed by an acoustician to achieve the desired acoustic properties (sound McCready performed an epic 4-minute-plus solo for "Reach Down". According to Chris Cornell, McCready's headphone monitors flew off halfway through the recording of the solo, and he played the rest without being able to hear the backing track. Headphones (also known as earphones, earbuds, stereophones, headsets) are a pair of small Loudspeakers or less commonly a single [6] McCready considers this track to be one of his proudest moments. [7] This project eventually featured vocalist Eddie Vedder, who sang a duet with Cornell on the song "Hunger Strike" and provided background vocals on several other songs. Eddie Vedder (born December 23 1964 in Evanston, Illinois) is an American singer, Songwriter, Composer, and Guitarist " Hunger Strike " is a song by the American rock band Temple of the Dog, released in 1991 as the first single from the band's sole studio album Vedder had arrived in Seattle to audition to be the singer for Ament and Gossard's next band, which later became Pearl Jam.

Live performances
McCready is extremely energetic live, and is commonly found dashing around the stage, playing to the crowd, throwing plectrums and soloing with the guitar behind his head. His live renditions of songs have slightly different solos due to his fondness of improvisation, and sometimes he treats the crowd to a full-on improv. Improvisation (also called extemporization) is the practice of acting singing talking and reacting of making and creating in the moment and in response to the stimulus of McCready tends to avoid playing the same solo twice. McCready said, "I can kind of get into a meditative state when I’m playing, something I don’t get any other way. . . You might see me staring up in the sky with my eyes closed. I’m not faking it. That just kind of happens. "[14]

Drug addiction
Mike McCready has had two different bouts with substance abuse. The first came in the early 1990s, when McCready was fighting drug and alcohol addiction:
We had a lot of meetings where they would say, 'Hey Mike, you're getting way too fucked up. ' But we're all really good friends and we love each other and I think they actually thought I was going to die, but they never took steps to kick me out of the band, which I can't believe because I fucked up so many times. I was drunk and making an ass out of myself and they were concerned about it. . . . I'd clean up for a little while then I'd fall off the wagon, like addicts do. . . . When everything blew up, everybody kind of lost their minds. . . . I was clean for about a month. . . well, semi-clean; I can't bullshit about that. . . but I fell off the wagon after the Kurt Cobain thing. That fucked with everybody really hard. I mean, how do you get to that point of depression where suicide's the only way out?[15]
McCready's second bout came during the sessions for Pearl Jam's 2000 album Binaural:
I was going through some personal problems. Binaural is the sixth album by the American Alternative rock band Pearl Jam, released on May 16 2000 through Epic Records. It was my own stuff I was dealing with. That was a tough time. I was out of it. That was due, at the time, I was taking prescription drugs. I got caught up in it, because of my pain. [6]
