I love Cameron’s PJ songs but they should retire those now. Except the Fixer. Because who cares what they do with that?
Terrible take. Why retire his songs? They’re great

I wonder if the newsletter has a longer write up about all this. The timing of the announcement had to have been planned.

he's the front runner with richard stuverud 2nd and klinghoffer 3rd. i'd put matt chamberlin and josh freese at a distant 4 and 5.

it would be great if chad smith decided he didn't want to drum for a guy singing "yabba dabba do" every song. he's already in ed's side project.

i think andrew watt wants to be a guitar hero and is hoping to replace mike. although he might be practicing his drumming right now.

they could try to save shane hawkins before dave grohl introduces him to hookers and blow

Still sinking in that he’s not in PJ anymore, but I must say, his work on DM (regardless of production value) was top notch. What a way to go out. For most of us, he’s PJ’s drummer. Sure Dave A was incredible on Vs, but it didn’t last for a reason. And Jack showed promise but had health issues. 7 records and 27 yrs. Incredible contributions on stage alone, not to mention his writing which, while not mind blowing, did provide and interesting stripe of color to the band’s work.

Best of Luck MFC. You will be missed.

The man doesn't require any of us to defend him. His record speaks for itself.

I’m glad they hung together to make one last strong record with Matt.

I’m talking about Gigaton, of course.

The idea of making a final album with Dave K is really beautiful.
