"Pearl Jam" guitarist Stone Gossard seemingly hinted that he's a fan of "Motely Crue" following the recent drama that embroiled between their singer Eddie Vedder and their rival band in a recent interview.
In an interview with Revolver Magazine, he tackled "Motley Crue's" style of music and mentioned that some of his bandmates enjoy them.
When the host asked him about Vedder's shocking remarks in a previous article published a few weeks back, he noted how he, Jeff Ament, and Mike McCready enjoyed their rival band's style of hard rock.
"Jeff and Mike and I loved hard rock, like went through it all," he said.
The guitarist also recalled the time when he first bought the band's record, saying, "I thought it was, at the time, it was punk-like."
He also noted how their music is almost like "Motorhead." Gossard shared how he was discovering British hard rock at the time, saying it felt "rebelious or against the norm or something that" interested him in it. (via Loud Wire)

"That drum kit - that silver, beautiful machine that he is the engine of - does not need to elevate or rotate to do its job. Let me just point that out," he told the audience.
