QUOTES BY Mike McCready


There's no time for regrets. You've just got to keep moving forward.

I try to dig deep into my soul to figure out something positive in the pain. I think I go to certain places when I play to heal.

Chris Cornell painted in song the darkness and beauty of life in Seattle.

I hold Mad Season very fondly to my heart, and there's a lot of sadness in that, too.

Actors want to be musicians, and musicians want to be baseball players.

That's what music has always been to me: a feel. I've listened to the Stones many times and it still makes me have that feeling of joy every time. They are still around and put on a really exciting show. We also give it 120 percent.

I have lived most my life with chronic inflammation and constant pain with immediate diarrhea.

But KISS inspired me personally to pick up a guitar and go for it.

I think I bought into that whole rock n' roll lifestyle, and all that does in the end is kill ya. So I don't recommend it to anyone.
