VIDEO: Pearl Jam guitarist joins Soundgarden in L.A.

It was getting hard to tell which band was on stage at the Forum in Los Angeles Friday night, as Soundgarden were joined by Pearl Jam guitarist Mick McCready.

With PJ drummer Matt Cameron doing double-duty in both bands these days, McCready’s guest spot could have gone in a few different directions…into a song by either band, a Temple Of The Dog track, or a cover on its own.

Turned out McCready was there to jam on “Superunknown,” delivering a soaring guitar solo as the band was in full flight and firing on all cylinders.

McCready and PJ have been in L.A. for some time now working on a new album, in advance of their 20th Anniversary concerts this fall.

The reunited Soundgarden wrap up their month long tour – the first one in 14 years – July 30 at The Gorge in Washington state.
