Strat Spangled Banner

[NWBasser]

So, the family went to a Mariners game last Friday night.

For the national anthem, they had Mike McCready of Pearl Jam come out and he played it on a beat-to-hell strat and a couple Marshall stacks.

It was very, very cool although I thought he used too much delay.

The game fairly sucked though, losing 2-3 to the Twins.

Mike was just on That Metal Show with Michael Schenker this week. He didn't play though. I think he would have been really nervous playing in front of Schenker anyway. McCready is doing a UFO/Schenker band tribute gig lately and he's playing all Flying Vs.

FWIW - Schenker is looking really good these days and is speaking coherently. He may have finally beaten the demons back and his latest album is getting good reviews. I still have yet to check it out.

Love McCready's lead work. Just seeing him doing the Star Spangled Banner would cancel out the bad game. Weird, though, that he used too much delay. That's an effect that I would never associate with his playing... a wah, definitely, some reverb maybe, but not delay.

And derailing the thread by post #3... Spud, If I was McCready, sitting next to Schenker, it would be all I could do not to bow down and yell "I'm not worthy!"

When the man is on, he is on... I've always dug his lead tones.
