First thing I thought of.

I’m sure everyone knows this already, Temple of the Dog was a one-time tribute group, record, album for Andrew Wood, the lead singer of Mother Love Bone who had OD’d. Eddie and Mike McCready were already part of the PJ plans at the time Cornell approached Stone and Jeff about doing the project, so it just became a whole thing.

@Maura: True…Eddie did only sing on the one song – but since they only put out the one album – I would argue that they are not really a group. I always saw it as a bunch of friends just playing around but then because of who they were and where they all were in their careers, it was decided to put the album out for public consumption.

@Chris Molanphy: He was on "Hunger Strike" and did backing vocals, but Cornell had lead vocals on the whole album. I never really thought of Vedder as a core member of the group.

Cornell-plus-Pearl Jam-minus-Vedder

Wait — I thought Vedder was in Temple of the Dog, too. Am I mistaken? He definitely sang lead on the recording of “Hunger Strike.”

Special thanks to the guy who recorded that 1992 Temple Of The Dog show on his old Pixelvision camera.
