Drummer fact overlooked

So according to HOF induction eligibility guidelines, Dave A. technically wouldn't be eligible. The special exception seems to be letting Matt Cameron in, who also played on the very first Mookie demo. Seems to be a huge overlook by many fans and media right now.

Also, wheres the respect to the band? Dave A. was with them for a small amount of time compared to the amount of years they have put in to become the Pearl Jam we know today.

    for the record, him not getting inducted makes no difference to me.

    I'm not sure where you are getting your info, but he is eligible. it's not just the original members, but that's who they decided should be included. I believe all of the drummers except maybe Matt Chamberlain. but he might be also. the hall inducts whichever members they see fit, and it differs from band to band from year to year.

    Band is eligible for the first time this year which coincides with the release date of Ten. Only drummers associated with the band at that point in history: Matt C. and Dave K.

    I can't believe I'm wading into one of these threads, but your facts are wrong. Exhibit A: Ron Wood was inducted with the Stones in 1989 and he was neither an original member nor "associated with" the band at the inception of their first album. Discuss.

    Or Fleetwood mac, or nirvana, or grateful dead, or probably half the bands inducted.

    My opinion on the Dave A thing is this.

    The band has always been very private. And they have been especially quiet on Dave A since he left.

    And while we don't really know the motive or personally know the guys in the band it seems out of character for them to just be dicks and ignore the guy.

    Meaning knowing what we know about the band and what kind of people they are maybe there's a legit reason they don't want him involved (besides the HOF rules) that's really none of our business.

    Dave A played mostly cymbals. To be counted as a drummer, he hit actual drums way too little. Also the overuse of china and tiny splash cymbals should disqualify any drummer automatically.
