Pearl Jam laid low for a spell after having a big year with their self-titled comeback album. But in recent weeks, there's definitely been a lot of band-related stuff to talk about: Getting censored by AT&T; Eddie Vedder's solo soundtrack for Sean Penn's "Into the Wild" flick; a brand new DVD, "Immagine in Cornice," that documents the band's tour of Italy.

Yesterday, ax man Mike McCready was cool enough to check in and elaborate on all of the above. And here's what he had to say about ...

... his reaction to the AT&T fiasco.

... how encounters with German metal band Scorpions and Iron Maiden shaped his rapport with fans today.

... why Pearl Jam chose to document a tour in Italy.

... giving director Danny Clinch backstage access and becoming more comfortable with fame.

... why some band members get less face time in "Immagine."

... "big brother" Boom Gaspar. (Or should I say "Booooooooooooooooooom"?)

Oh and EJ, the new Sean Penn film coming out is titled "Into the Wild" not "Into the Woods."

Oops! I knew that, and I'm officially an idiot. Huh huh.

Mike McCready not only is one of the greatest guitarists in modern rock, but also one of the coolest.
