Mike McCready, the lead guitarist, was born on April 5, 1965. He grew up in northeast Seattle listening to Kiss and heavy metal. He later listened to the Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Jimi Hendrix. He was recruited to PJ by Stone and has been the lead ever since. Mike is definitely the purest musician of the band. He often doesn't take as much part in the issues the band has faced, but anyone who has seen him in concert knows the dedication that Mike brings to this band. In late 1994, after winning his fight against alcohol and drugs in rehab, he contacted some friends to form a side project. Among them were Layne Staley, the vocalist for Alice in Chains. They became Mad Season and had a few hits. Among the things Mike is known for, is loving Led Zepplin, loving to party, and getting crazy at concerts.
