People are really mad about Dave A. in the comments on the official Facebook page of the band.

[wease]

I guess we could paint a soul patch on the Matt figure.

Man, even Shoaf gets a Funko before Boom. That's harsh.

Think of Apple and how they used to only make a computer. Now they are making watches, phones, TVs, TV shows, a car, software.

Pearl Jam is a brand. They are much more than songs now. Just like other brands that start small with one popular item, they’ve expanded their portfolio, which was launched with the extremely popular “music”. They’ve reached into different markets with different products. The band members are just spokesmen for their products. Their concerts are just advertisements. Pearl Jam isn’t a band, it’s a company.

And you’re gonna be right there responding to Ed’s call during your next advertisement

The band have treated him very badly.

He was an integral member of the band (arguably moreso than McCready) during what was arguably the most important few years of their career.

He's still the canonical Pearl Jam drummer, whether the band likes it or not.

He was their drummer for 1.8 albums and for like 3 years.

More important that McCready?

[daft twat]

The band still exists. Current lineup makes sense. So does using the younger, more iconic looks. Matt is also the longest tenured drummer by a lot. I don’t get the issue.

[bodysnatcher]

Lol people arguing about a doll drummer

Lol people arguing about a doll drummer

it is the most important issue of our time

Honestly still don’t know how to pronounce Dave A’s last name

Probably the most important and impactful three years of their career, though.

They're still running on the fumes of the band that made Ten*, Vs and Vitalogy.

The band aren't selling out Wrigley Field or Wembley off the back of Riot Act and Backspacer.

Anyway, my point is you think they'd give the guy some mild recognition from time to time when an appropriate opportunity comes up. Their hesitancy to do so seems downright bizarre.

( * Yes, I realise this was the other Dave - but the second Dave joined before it was even released, so.)

Honestly still don’t know how to pronounce Dave A’s last name

I’ll see your Abbruzzesse and raise you an Ament

It doesn’t help that members of the band itself keep changing how they pronounce Ament.

I started wi AH-ment before I ever heard it spoken.

I’ve heard it as spoken either AY-ment, AM-ent, and uh-MENT.

Since they can’t pick one, I stick with AH-ment.

Don’t get me started on ZESS vs. ZEEZ vs. ZES-see vs. ZEE-see vs. ZEE-zee

Jeff's first record is "tone". He put that in his name on the artwork. Atonement. A"tone"ment. Ament. It's pronounced like atonement without the tone.

Simple.

[Farmer John]

In Canada we pronounce it EH-ment

On PJ Radio whenever Jeff says "Hey, this is Jeff Ament", that's how he pronounces it, so I'm assuming that's actually the correct way. Unless he's pronouncing his own name wrong.

pearl jam sucks now

[epilogue]

Jeff's first record is "tone". He put that in his name on the artwork. Atonement. A"tone"ment. Ament. It's pronounced like atonement without the tone.

Simple.

Except the accent is on “tone,” so we’re not getting any real clues here

Doesn't matter. Say the word without "tone." One syllable isn't stressed more dramatically than the other.
