Surely they’d come together to make better music than they either could have done on their own or with any of their original bands? “I was young, and I thought, ‘Hey, I can do this’,” McCready recalled. There was a part of me that was nervous, and I certainly wouldn’t try anything like that now. I try not to be around those kind of people anymore.
