This is a retarded statement because it means the same thing.

No it doesn't. Any drummer could join Pearl Jam and they'd still be missing Dave A and Jack's presence. It's not uniquely Matt's fault. Dave and Jack had real directive personalities and took the band to some very interesting rhythmic places. Matt, in my opinion, is a follower. He does what suits the song in his mind, and he's happy to blend as part of a band rather than a prominent 'fuel', which can sometimes work very well, but sometimes not.

Yeh, I would have preferred to take my chances with "any drummer". That's my point. I think Matt is the worst drummer in the band's history. Sales support this theory.

Declining sales also support the theory that all music is shit.

If that's not unnecessarily confrontational, I really don't know what is.

Here's what sounds unneccesarily confrontational: "go away".

You'll live. I could've been ruder about it. I want you to stop assuming I'm being negative about the new album based on zero evidence. Or if you can't do that, yes, go away. Please.

how about U stop being a dickhead?

Eh. Unless you are on the inside, we here have no knowledge of what the material that Matt brought to the table actually sounded like before 'da fixin'. Except for "you are" which was cool.

Theres no denying that matts a good drummer, but the consesus is that Dave A and Jack both fit better with Pearl Jams music...lets not beat a dead horse hear.....Matts drumming during the 98' tour was a thing of beauty tho....Im on my 3rd Live on Two Legs cd cuz i played the snot out of them
