I used to blame Eddie and the other guys for Dave A leaving but the truth is Dave A hasn’t been able to adjust to where PJ wanted to go…needed to go…to merely survive as a band. He didn’t get it in 1994 and still doesn’t. It’s a shame too because he is clearly their best drummer and his interpretations on later songs would be awesome to hear. For years I thought the guys cut him loose too quick and didn’t try to find a common ground but the hard truth is that Dave, who once again is the best drummer they’ve ever had, doesn’t understand the band’s philosophy on how to survive and thrive. Having said all that they’ve had numerous chances to do something together so I just think it’s too far gone for it to happen. Also, it would be embarrassing as hell for Matt Cameron to go back behind the kit after Dave A. did a few shows because while Matt was fantastic for Soundgarden’s flow he is absolutely dreadful for PJ. It’s absolute torture listening to Matt drum on songs from Ten, Versus and Vitalogy.

Dave's groove, flow and feel on the kit was the perfect fit for Pearl Jam. Their music feels very straight, rigid and sometimes rushed with Matt Cameron on the throne (Even Flow is a good example for comparison). Matt Cameron is great in his own right, his drumming in Soundgarden works well, but for Pearl Jam Dave was the best at giving those riffs exactly what they needed.

@robbyrob1180 Жыл бұрын

Dave is so badass at drums it's just crazy. This guy could have been in a drummer in any band. His drumming was just so effortless that it was just ridiculous. It's funny to me that Eddie thought his style was "too busy", but then they get Matt Cameron? Why not just get the drummer from Hole or something? Eddie just hated on Dave's views on issues unrelated to music. Eddie's lyrics about Dave on "Glorified G" is literally Eddie talking s%!t about Dave.

@timmatthews1085 So, I was just referring to his musicianship as a drummer. His skills are that great. Think of it as a hypothetical situation. If personalities never clashed, then bands would stay together forever. Jaco Pastorius was one of the greatest bassists ever. He played with very established jazz musicians, and was a badass. But by the 80's, Jaco couldn't even get a gig. How is it the best bass player at that time can't get a gig and is broke AF? Is it because he's not that good?

@robbyrob1180 10 ай бұрын

@JasonKavetis All I know from the grapevine is Dave brought some kind of firearm with him to rehearsal or something, and Eddie and/or maybe some other bandmates had a problem with it. I would let my drummer bring a tank to rehearsal if he was as good as Dave. I wouldn't just say he was their best drummer, but he was the best member of Pearl Jam at his respective instrument. He was better at drums than both guitar players were at playing their guitars, better at drums than Jeff was at bass and so forth. Without a good drummer, your band sucks. Plain and simple.

@JasonKavetis 10 ай бұрын

On the wikipedia page for that song there is a story and some quotes from Eddie and Dave as to how that song came to be. It appears to be true story. I first listened to them live on the radio April 3, 1994 & was blown away at how good they sounded.
