Matt Cameron Appreciation Thread

[Royalearth]

This question has come to mind since I keep seeing the comment that Matt Cameron is a bad drummer, and that is:

Has Matt ever created a memorable drum beat or drum part? I can't think of any of the top of my head unlike for Dave Kruzen (Why Go), Dave Abbruzzese (take your pick), Jack Irons (Who You Are, Sky I Scrape).

Anything in between
Hitchhikers
Puzzle and Game
Sweet Lew
Thunderclap
Grievance
Sleight of Hand
Can't Keep
Save You
HelpHelp
Marker in the sand
Gonna See My Friend
Got Some

And whats Dave A memorable drum part besides the looped one on WMA?

Yes of course—Grievance and Light Years. I gotta go back and hear the other ones.
For Dave, i was thinking also of Go, Last Exit, Whipping.

[binauralsounds]

how did the homie that wrote You Are also write The Fixer?

Have you heard his demo of The Fixer? Before it got all Ed'd and BOB'd? It's much better

I haven’t heard the demo but I’d like to. Other things I haven’t heard include Cold Confession and Let It Ride.

Intro to Daughter is legendary

Nothingman drums described by Stone as his favorite PJ drums

New Matt song from an upcoming new album with fucking Buzz Osborne and Steve Mcdonalds.

FUCK YEAH

[VinylGuy]

also he says after Ben and him finish the SG album there is more Hater coming.

I hate to say it, but the drums on vitalogy are great. More restrained. Less of all the crazy cymbal hit fills. Nothing man, last exit, corduroy. All awesome.

And I love the Jack Irons boots from 96 and early 98 (Australia). A bit of swing and space that lets the songs breathe.

Still, without Matt, we don't get the band energized for the 98 US tour, and he plays fantastic on the 2000 boots. But I still really don't think they figured out how to record Matt (for a full album) until Gigaton. I love what he brings to the group.

Earlier Matt drums I like:

God's dice
The ending jam of Half full (More of this please) (probably my favorite moment on the album).
Get Right
Unemployable
Grievance
Cropduster
You are


I'm sure others will come to mind.

Please stop saying this over and over

All good my dude, I just edited my post to include Grievance, Cropduster & You are

[smallest_oceans]

I need to find a better video of Matt on 1/2 Full. The one from the garden is great, but focuses on Stone and Ed a lot.

This promo clip sounds beastly:

[knee tunes]

Grievance, Cropduster & You are

all good

[armogi]

cool new matt song!

[bada]

[LetMeSleep]

His vocals and melodies sound like 70s AM rock. Love it.

[wease]

Love it. I can see it being a Soundgarden song more than a Pearl Jam song.

[Birds in Hell]

I hope I like this record more than I did Cavedweller, which I found surprisingly unenjoyable.

[Anders]

I feel the same way.

[Wendy Carlos's Twin]

I really liked Caveweller a lot. So fuck you guys.
