Matt Cameron quits Pearl Jam

[dimejinky99]

Can we not with the schtick? Even for just a couple of days. Please

isn't soundgarden getting inducting into the RNR HOF? he probably wants that to be his last performance. i hope they get ed to sing 'outshined' with them.

[stip]

I'm going to assume this was amicable and just not wanting to have obligations to touring anymore. But still a shock and a shame.

Thank you Matt - it was a great run!

Ed will not let Dave A. open carry during the next run, and Dave A will quit mid-tour in retaliation to go and help ICE agents in Texas and Fl.

Have you seen Dave’s social media? He’s more anti Trump than anyone currently in PJ

I am not on social media. I stand corrected.

Sorry, Dave A. You can come back...So long as you don't attend any Ellen Degeneres comedy specials or hang out with Bill Mahr like Ed.

Probably retiring.

Matt Chamberlain is the obvious pick here.

[The Argonaut]

I can't see them getting a permanent replacement now. It'll be a revolving door of hired guns. They're just too inactive to have a new full-time drummer.

This seems the most likely outcome to me, too. Official Pearl Jam is the core four, but like now with all the very special friends, there will be very special friendly drummers for a tour or an album

So, will this be in the newsletter in a few days?

Tomorrow is the 10th

You may want to double check that

[VinylGuy]

Im really in shock.

My vote goes to the fan who filled in at the Oakland show.

The who just fired Zak Starkey the other day

Oh fuck

wasn't that dude actually in a band that is good?

[liebzz]

Well that’s devastating. I hope they push forward with someone else. I hear Zak Starkey needs a regular gig…but my guess is Richard Stuverud which would be perfect since he has a long history with Jeff Ament and that’s a pretty important duo to have proper chemistry.

I doubt the retiring thing. Soundgarden is supposed to be working on that last Chris album. Maybe he just wanted more time to work on that.

he's probably just tired. he's been drumming at a 2x pace since 1998.

Oh fuck

He did say he turned down Oasis, only to get fired by the Who a second time.

It would be on-brand for Ed to feast on Townshend table scraps.

[Ms Harmless]

given how new drummers have influenced their sound up till now, this news might be even more significant than a new producer for the next album

eager to find out who's replacing him, and I'll be spinning Riot Act in his honour

wasn't eddie vedder zak starkey's best man?
