I wonder if he actually thought he'd get one? Hasn't spoken to them in years, hasn't listened to any of their albums after he left, bitches about them all of the time. Meanwhile, the band has been around actively touring bands with other drummers for the past 35 years, so they are familiar with who is on tour, capable, etc. Would be hilarious and sad at the same time if he actually expected a call.VinylGuy wrote: Thu June 04, 2026 12:23 pm Dave A confirmed to a fan via fbook that he “didnt got the call”

It sounds like he may have some concerns about Eddie's alcoholismHatfield wrote: Thu June 04, 2026 2:41 pmZak Starkey would be a fantastic fill in!Neo wrote: Thu June 04, 2026 1:30 pm Zak Starkey posted this a few days ago :

https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyl ... hatgpt.comAs for Ament’s day job, Pearl Jam returns in September to headline the Ohana festival in Dana Point, California, in its first performance since drummer Matt Cameron left the band in May after 27 years. The band has kept the identity of his replacement under wraps and will make it official at the Sept. 27 festival.
I think the big question is, if it’s going to work out that this is our future drummer,” Ament told the AP. “It’ll be the first show, so there’s a little bit of a trial happening. It’s exciting. It’s taken a little bit longer than we thought it would take. We’re not in any massive rush either.”
Ament said the band has started writing new songs but would like to play a few dates with the new drummer before Pearl Jam hits the studio again next year.
“I think we need to get out and play like 10, 15 shows with whoever our drummer is and just kind of get that part going before we make a record,” Ament said.
SLUT
Yeah, yikes. Doesn't sound like everyone is in agreement.
Obviously the drummer won't be Richard Stuverud
