Next Drumoise

[wease]

I fucking love the fact Billy Idol is playing.

[E.H. Ruddock]

"As Ohana will be the only show for us this year, we are excited to announce that sitting in on drums is... Matt Cameron!"

[dprival78]

it's gonna be klinghoffer isn't it..

for a one off, that would be easy

i hope that's not the case

[liebzz]

I fucking love the fact Billy Idol is playing.

Saw him at Sea.Hear.Now a few years ago and it was really entertaining.

[wease]

I saw him back in 90 or 91. Faith No More opened. Fucking fantastic.

[Matters]

While I think it’s more likely to be a one night fill in for Ohana, it would be cool if they took the stage, played a few songs and then Ed introduced whoever was behind the kit as the new drummer for Pearl Jam before continuing the show.

[Birds in Hell]

I wonder if that's part of Mike's frustration: they can find drummers who are happy to play a few one-off shows, like Abe Laboriel Jr (supposedly), but can't find anyone suitable who can commit to the band long-term.

[VinylGuy]

I kinda felt his frustration was that they havent chose who was the drummer yet. That might be resolved.

If that’s the case, just hire a studio drummer and get moving…

I’m sure there are a ton of talented drummers, who are good people, that would love the gig.

When was that Mike interview, three days ago?

I’d wager there’s a zero percent change anything changed between then and today’s announcement.

Ohana would’ve been in the works for a while, but clearly the drummer situation isn’t totally settled yet.

[VinylGuy]

who knows

[Farmer John]

Maybe they thought it would help to give themselves a firm deadline that would force them to get to work on finding a new drummer.

Right now they're probably setting up a meeting to get everyone looped in, get all their ducks in a row, circle the wagons, and hopefully get to the point where they can set a roadmap for a dialogue moving forward.

[VinylGuy]

Maybe Mike is out and they havent told him yet.

Andrew W replaces him and thats it

[dprival78]

where can i bet that josh k. is the guy for this ohana show? polymarket?

[VinylGuy]

UGH yeah could be

[Knabetnuom]

I enjoyed watching Dave K's performances with them, the different groove he brought and can appreciate how so many praised his playing, letting the songs breathe. As much as I enjoy the hyper-tempos of the MC era, Dave K's guest-spot made for a fun listen.

But when some speculated it was his time to rejoin, I guess I have doubts about his abilities to come in and play the variety of music they made since Ten. Maybe I'm completely underestimating him and he could do a great job on Grievance or Spin the Black Circle. Who knows. I'd be surprised if he rejoins but then, this band's decisions have been largely unpredictable.

[joostone]

I've said if before and I'll say it again. If they need to rejoin with a previous drummer, Matt Chamberlain would be the dream candidate. I think he would be a great fitt overall.

[wease]

Agreed

[Birds in Hell]

Chamberlain is the dream choice, the band's best drummer.

I doubt he'd want to commit to the band's schedule as a regular gig, but I live in hope.

He has a very long history with the guys.

[96583UP]

i would be so happy if it were Chamberlain

but I think he is too good for PJ

let's face it

Ed is a nightmare to work with

maybe they convince chad smith to do a one-off show
