Abbruzzese swiped the unknown number straight to voicemail that has never been setup, will continue to lament band not reaching out.
Dave already finished his project with Strat.
I stand corrected.
Let me play percussion on the track.
Pm coming your way

Got to be Stuverud. They owe Jeff after that No Code fiasco. He’s been holding on to that for 30 years.

Maybe he just doesn't enjoy that as much, and isn't excited about the idea of continuing to work that way.
Working in that fashion also means there's limited opportunity for Matt to contribute songwriting ideas compared to the other members (or Watt).
when continuing to work that way means an album every 3-4 years at best, it cant possibly be a drain on his time. especially, again, given how prolific he is. Pearl Jam just doesnt not require (sadly) a major investment of time.
with no insider information i declare, authoritatively, this is about not wanting to have to commit to touring. or just, at this point in his life, deciding he wants the freedom to not do something and not have others impacted by it

Not surprised Stuverud is frontrunner
I didn't like his sloppy drumming on Animal, it's fascinating for sure, but it's sloppy.
Maybe fit (or not) to PJ overall boring sound.

Thinking about things overnight, ya know, I'm struggling with it a little bit
I've spent years on here saying things like, "it's their journey, not mine", and, look, it's certainly not my gift to tell them when to stop, they've earned the right to go out as they see fit, but, there's a growing part of me that also kinda wishes that they'd all bowed out together and called a wrap on everything.

I agree, just call it quits
Ed and the rest of the band could've do whatever they're wanna do (solo)

Should he have put "less to follow"?

I'm starting to feel this way too. Feels awkward to find a new drummer at this stage of their career.

Absolutely, stip.
Here's the thing...It's not as though I'd prefer a world without an active Pearl Jam, obviously, but, all the same, I don't want this to feel like a hastily tacked on coda, either.
It's really tough to do a truly graceful member exit, at this stage.
