Barrett Martin Says Screaming Trees “Almost” Regrouped in 2015

- Drummer to tell story in forthcoming band bio, due Nov. 3

The Screaming Trees “almost” got back together in 2015, Barrett Martin says.

The group’s former drummer will address this revelation and more in “The Greatest Band that Ever Wasn’t: The Story of the Roughest, Toughest, Most Hell-Raising Band to Ever Come Out of the Pacific Northwest, The Screaming Trees.”

Saying the book flows “like a Greek comedy in three acts,” Martin uses 33 “mostly humorous” short stories to chronicle the Trees “and all the insane stuff that happened to us during the 1990s, including our short revival in 2012 with the Last Words album, and our almost-reunion in 2015.

“I wrote the book as a tribute to my bandmates, especially with the passing of Mark Lanegan and Van Conner in the last couple (of) years.”

Out Nov. 3, “The Greatest Band that Ever Wasn’t” is Martin’s fourth book.

“Those who know me also know my sense of humor, so that’s the angle I took on the book,” he said. “Because in order to tell a great story, you have to live it first, which is what the Trees did, to the fullest.”

Book Review: “The Greatest Band that Ever Wasn’t: The Story of the Roughest, Toughest, Most Hell-raising Band to Ever Come out of the Pacific Northwest, The Screaming Trees - A Comedy/Tragedy in 3 Acts” - by Barrett Martin

Screaming Trees nearly reunited in 2015 for a string of European and U.S. festival dates that would’ve featured Peter Buck on auxiliary rhythm guitar and represented the band’s largest payday.

But singer Mark Lanegan pulled the plug the day before an announcement was due. And with the subsequent deaths of Lanegan and bassist Van Conner, in 2022 and ’23, respectively, the Trees, who split in 2000, were left as an increasingly rare band that breaks up and stays that way.

This is the biggest revelation in Barrett Martin’s “The Greatest Band that Ever Wasn’t: The Story of the Roughest, Toughest, Most Hell-raising Band to Ever Come out of the Pacific Northwest, The Screaming Trees - A Comedy/Tragedy in 3 Acts.” That unwieldy title inadvertently encapsulates the main problem with the otherwise-interesting book from the man who replaced Mark Pickerel as drummer for the Trees’ during their final decade.

Namely, Barrett needed a co-writer and/or a strong editor. As published, “The Greatest Band that Ever Wasn’t” is messy and littered with grammatical errors, typos, redundancies and a tendency to be verbose for verbosity’s sake. The comedy/tragedy addendum, meanwhile, is a misnomer, as the book by the multi-instrumentalist who also has played with Skin Yard; co-founded Mad Season and Tuatara; and was a touring member of Buck’s R.E.M., reads like a traditional rock memoir, albeit a poorly written one.

All of this said, Barrett presents 33 enlightening stories about the poorly documented Trees across 204 pages and it’s refreshing to read a rock ‘n’ roll memoir by a musician whose memories are all fond and who has no desire to settle scores in public. That Martin loved his band and respected his bandmates, also including guitarist/composer Gary Lee Conner and latter-day rhythm guitarist Joshua Homme, is obvious.

Martin also reveals that Lanegan recorded two a cappella Blind Willie McTell covers - not named - for a soundtrack, also not named, the drummer-cum-author is producing. A good editor would’ve done something to close the gaping hole in this tantalizing tidbit and ensured readers were not left with terrific content presented poorly.

Grade card: “The Greatest Band that Ever Wasn’t: The Story of the Roughest, Toughest, Most Hell-raising Band to Ever Come out of the Pacific Northwest, The Screaming Trees - A Comedy/Tragedy in 3 Acts” - by Barrett Martin - C+

Grunge Rock好きと言うことは皆さんご存知なので理由は割愛します〜が、ジャンル問わずハードからソフトまで楽しんでいるのにGrungeは毎日聴いてしまう人間です。 好きなものならば毎日きく、と言うのは理解して頂けると思うけど、数時間たつとGrungeに擦り寄って行ってしまうLyraをどれだけの方々が理解してくれるか？となると若干、心配になります(笑)。理解しておくれ〜。 だってGrunge Rockは気持ちを楽にしてくれるから好き。 Bluesには心奪われるし、Psycheは小さい時から聴いて来たから空気みたいなものだしPunkは活力になるし…と拘りは全くないのだが、Grungeが特に楽な気持ちになるのは、その全ての要素が入っているからだと思う。 Grunge…
