I don't care who it is at this point they just need to be a kick ass drummer. If they have something to contribute songwriting-wise to the band that would be a big plus.

I'm still not over the fact I'll never hear Matt Cameron play anything from Dark Matter live. That sucks.

Lots of rumors that it's this guy.

Tooch knew 5 months ago

Trust in Tooch

Tooch will light the way

Tooch AKA Eddie Vedder

PJ’s first fat member incoming. Unless you count Mike’s awkward phase post booze & hard drugs, before he started playing a lot of tennis. Could’ve also been IBS meds puffing him up.

Eddie got close at one point but I wouldn’t say he was fat. He and Jeff have had puffy faces.

I enjoyed fat Mike era. Each Evenflow solo was like a individually numbered commemorative plate

He stretched them out as long as Eddie would allow, for his fellow bathroom breakers.

In this thread: body shaming aging rock stars in their 60s.

man, mike really was CHUNKY

I wonder how hard Ed had to sell his choice, or if all the other guys like, "ok sure whatever"

Probably explains Jeff's entirely tepid response when asked about the new drummer

Yeah, i kinda feel they will actually try live if it works and see what happens next.

Trying the drummer out beforehand would require everyone to be in the same room which probably hasn't happened since the last MC show in Pittsburgh.

funny bc i would envision jeff and abe being spirit animals

but agree he seemed tepid

i am sure they all know ed calls the shots so why bother debating

In honor of 30 years of No Code, they played 4 shows with the new drummer before they told Jeff.

As someone else already pointed out, Jeff has been liking a lot of Abe's Instagram posts in the last few months. Though he has a bit of history with Ed, it seems Jeff's down with him too.

If it's Abe, I think they've done very well. Guy's a great drummer.

abe can play. watching that ohana show with the earthings.. i'd like to see what he could do with pj

bring in abe, ditch wotman

He is closer to Jack in style right? a mix between Jack and Matt maybe
