American
Mad Season (band)
Mad Season was an American rock supergroup formed in Seattle, Washington in 1994 by members of three popular Seattle-based bands: Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam and Screaming Trees.
 Mad Season released only one album, "Above", and is best known for the single "River of Deceit".
 The band went on a semi-permanent hiatus in 1996 due to the band members' conflicting schedules and vocalist Layne Staley's problems with substance abuse.
 Attempts were made in the late 1990s to revive the group without Staley; however, the band dissolved following the death of bassist John Baker Saunders in 1999.
 Staley died three years later of a drug overdose.

 The group consists of vocalist Bert McCracken, guitarist Justin Shekoski, bassist Jeph Howard, and drummer Dan Whitesides.

Barrett Martin (born April 14, 1967) is an American drummer, composer, producer, award-winning writer, and Zen artist.
 He was the drummer for the Seattle, Washington groups Skin Yard and Screaming Trees, as well as the supergroups Mad Season and Tuatara.
 A multi-instrumentalist and producer, he does recording session work in Seattle and Los Angeles and has played on, or produced, over 100 albums to date.
 In 2014, he was awarded the ASCAP Deems Taylor award for excellence in writing for his liner notes in the Mad Season Deluxe Reissue.
 He is primarily known for his powerful tribal drumming style, which includes the use of the tom toms as a rhythmic component that replaces the traditional hihat and ride cymbal.
 He credits the jazz drummers Art Blakey, Max Roach, and Elvin Jones for inspiring this approach to his drumming style, as well as the rock drummers John Bonham, Keith Moon, and Neil Peart.
 He has also stated that the heavyweight boxer Muhammad Ali inspired his drumming at a young age, saying, "Ali was so incredibly fast on his feet, and his hands were both light and heavy at the same time.
 Float like a butterfly, sting like bee, that's the way a great drummer should play – light and heavy, the way Ali boxed." If You're Gone
"If You're Gone" is a song by the rock band Matchbox Twenty.
 It was released in October 2000 as the second single off "Mad Season".
 The song, written by Matchbox Twenty frontman Rob Thomas, became a hit on adult contemporary radio, spending two weeks at number 1 on the "Billboard" Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart.
 It also reached number 5 on the US "Billboard" Hot 100 chart, the band's second best-ranking song at this moment, preceded by the single "Bent" from the same album.
 Rob Thomas never dreamed of the song going out on an album, let alone being a huge success.
 The horn-driven outro of "If You're Gone" borrows heavily (note for note) from "When the Rainbow Comes" by World Party from their 1990 release "Goodbye Jumbo". Mad Season (album)
Mad Season, also known as Mad Season by Matchbox Twenty, is the second studio album from American rock band Matchbox Twenty, released in May 2000.
 The album was a significant departure from the bands's debut album, "Yourself or Someone Like You", as it moved from a straight rock sound to poppier sounds and experimental rock.
 While not as successful as its predecessor, the album entered and peaked at #3 on the "Billboard" 200 with first week sales of 365,000 and was certified 4× Platinum in the United States in October 2001. Mike McCready
