-stop cutting jams short. e.g, play daughter, longer, and with more soul, and with more hi hat and cymbal detail. i.e. listen to how dave A played it, and play it like him, because i want you to know, as PJ's new permanent drummer, you will always be compared to dave A, and you can never fill his shoes.
-never play chloe/crown of thorns ever again. you are retarded when it comes to this
- if this is your full time job, try to contribute something and get a song on the new album, rather than just showing up, bludgeoning your tom toms with caveman-like 5B caveman clubs; then butchering dave A's songs live, then collecting a 12 figure paycheck
-listen to what Jeff is doing and actually develop a rapport with him. he is your bassist.
Are you twelve years old?
Most of these 'suggestions' to Matt are utter bollocks.
I love the contribute a song suggestion, like Matt doesnt write songs.
Oh no he's a very prolific songwriter don't be fooled by the lack of credits on SG albums. It's all Ed's fault, as usual. It was Vedder who forced Cornell in the late 80's to limit Matt to the maximum because he knew he'd be in PJ in about a decade and he wouldn't allow a drummer with song writing ambitions in a band he's in. The fact that Matt has about the same amount of songs on SG and PJ albums doesn't mean there aren't shit load of his ideas and demos that Ed refuses to sing on.

Soundgarden reunion was just an extended working holiday for Matt.
I don't get why people are so bummed about this.

I'm not sure why no one else is entertaining stip's theory from the Lightning Bolt thread that perhaps Soundgarden just doesn't want Matt anymore.

In my mind I picture it going down like that episode of The Office where Jim arranges to meet with David Wallace to make his case for being promoted and Michael doesn't know about it, and then when Wallace shows up and informs Michael he's not needed for the meeting, Michael is like "Y'know what? I'm gonna sit this meeting out if it's ok with you. I've got a lot of stuff to do so, how about you guys do this without me?" And then Andy sneaks Michael into the conference room hidden in a makeshift cheese cart.
So, in summary, I assume Matt Cameron will have Mike McCready trying to sneak him backstage at the 2014 Soundgarden shows hidden in a cheese cart.

I heard Ben is the 'problem' guy and has some issues and can be difficult to work with.
Doubt it's Matt. But I can imagine internal arguments about his loyalty to PJ interrupting their plans.

Matts staying with pj cause stone has incriminating pictures of him from last years Christmas party and is threatening to release them. Stone is only staying for the money as he needs all the money he can get to fuel his addictions (whippits and creepy doll making). Jeff is staying out of loyalty (read: unrequited love) for stone, and eddies only staying so he can write off his surfing trips round the world as a business expense and pay off all the lawsuits from people he's maimed while axe tossing.
