Happy 6-degrees Week on the Morning Show! Today we celebrate Seattle son Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, Mad Season, etc. fame! That's him with Chris Cornell on this cover of Mike's Mad Season classic.
...
6 degrees connection: Soundgarden's Chris Cornell sang on the previous Mad Season performance.
...
In 2011, Cornell hit the road for his Songbook Tour which saw him perform acoustic versions of solo material as well as numbers by both Audioslave and Soundgarden....and THIS mash up Metallica and U2. “A few years ago, I was going to do ‘One’ by U2 — I Googled the lyrics, but the words to Metallica’s ‘One’ came up,” he told IndyStar in 2016. “I thought, ‘You know what, I’m gonna add those,’ and it seemed to work pretty seamlessly. Those are things that, when I’m doing a cover song, maybe goes some degree beyond what you’d expect. And that’s just me having fun.” faroutmagazine.co.uk
...
as you heard below, Chris Cornell covered (sort of) U2's "One," um, and this is U2 and that song is on this album.
...
U2's Until The End of The World is on this soundtrack. Cuz the name, n stuff.
