Matt Cameron Not Touring With Soundgarden in 2014

dime has been diming it up hard in this thread.

Lets be honest.
Soundgarden are the most overrated band of their era.
As is their drummer.
Soundgarden Could claw some dignity back by fading into the night, leaving their drummer be.
That's all

I've noticed over the years, dimejinky99, that your posts have become increasingly stupid and provocative. Five years ago you were much less odious and could actually hold a conversation with your peers without trying to outrage. Have there been parallels in your real life or is this entirely an internet schtick?

Ive been hoping for a name change to Darth Odious. Or something sinister. Contrarian.

And, well, Sirens.

It's as simple as an album tour with PJ vs a few shows with SG. I wouldn't be surprised if 2015 is a PJ side project year with maybe a recording session therefore leaving SG to record and tour their next album. 2016 will be the next year for PJ album/tour if we're lucky. This will be a 3-4 yr cycle.

Also, Matt will still be raking in money from those SG shows as he's a part of that company. The stand in drummer will be paid for a months work (around $50-100k I'd assume depending on the amount of shows and time frame.)

This is actually what I was thinking, too. I really can't imagine SG having that many tours dates in 2014 besides a few festivals here and there. Having just released a new album, it's only fair that his talents go to PJ for the better part of the new year. He's still a part of SG, which I take to mean that any studio work on a new album will most definitely include him on the kit. Agree though that I wouldn't expect any new SG till late 2015, and new PJ at some point in 2016 (optimistically speaking).

I hate to see him not playing with SG, too, but it's totally understandable--I mean I'm sure the guy could use a break by now.
