    Matt really stood out at the Toronto show as well. Very crisp, and *ahem* "muscular"...do love that....

    LOL. To each his own, I suppose. But Dave A. is such a minor leaguer compared to Matt.
    MINOR LEAGUER? LOL... sorry, but Dave simply made every song sound better live. His playing had so much groove.

    Matt still can't get the damn tempo for Even Flow down =/ He sounds like a robot behind the kit sometimes. He was much better in Soundgarden.

    maybe ever think its also the guitarists that hace chagned the groove? and the bass player? or do you think they just feel they are superior to cmaerona nd embarrased they dont want to mention to cameron that he should be playing the "groove" differently?

    I dont get people

    but to each their own

    I'll admit. Dave never met a splash cymbal he couldn't bash the fuck out of ad nauseum.

    I mean, I don't hate the guy. But he was like a big dumb animal behind the kit. I prefer a more cerebral approach.

    It's not too hard to understand. I prefer Dave's style of playing to Matt's.

    Yay!

    why is dave always dragged into these convos? can't the focus just be on matt sometimes?

    Yeah, that's what I was kind of wondering. Dave's not coming back.

    Since I made it known that I prefer Matt, I'm waiting for someone to tell me I only hate Dave A because Ed hated him and I'm a sheep.

    big dumb animal? whatcha got against tommy boy?

    but seriously, i agree with whoever above said matt sounded great in soundgarden. he sounded great with them. but i feel like his style has never totally meshed with pj. though bs sounds like they may have finally nailed it on album.

    There ya go. Dave was the Tommy Boy of drummers.

    Strange thing about Matt ... I kind of liked his drumming immediately after joining the band (go listen to some of those '98 boots from the US tour) than the Binaural/Riot Act period. I think Ed broke him somehow.

    Matt Cameron is The Robot of drummers.

    I actually don't get that at all. That dude never plays the same fill twice. Again, go listen to GTF from the '98 tour. It's phenomenal. The end was filled with all these crazy rolls. I don't know what Ed did to him, but he doesn't play it the same way anymore.

    That said, he's still a pretty creative drummer.

    Dave was MUCH more creative than Matt. Compare these performances drum wise and tell me Matt plays it better..
