**The Official "Matt stay in PJ" Thread**

So, as a fan and a ten club member, I want to share my support for Matt Cameron to stay in the band in relationship with the SG return (what it does not want to say that he should leave the group, but it is what I am thinking about this moment)

After thinkin' a lot of time in this topic, I must say that in my opinion, Matt Cameron is my favourite drummer for PJ for 3 principal reasons:

1) He handles the pace of an excellent form and with complicated enough steps / times that fit perfectly with the creativity of the entire group, and makes it more special and melodiously rich as the other members do, with his special way of playing his instrument and the connection between the musician and the instrument it's in the same high level that to other PJ members...every member of PJ is unique in his personal tastes and execution of their instruments, and that it is very important in the mechanics of the group.

2) Great resistance, he can play the drums for 2 or 3 hours and maybe more (and I don't think that Dave A. or Jack Irons can do this with 47 years)

3) He takes part actively in the processes of creation of the group writing music or letters, which they can taste or not but which reflect the creativity beyond the simple execution of the instrument.

4) 12 years with PJ.

    Why would you assume Matt is leaving?
    To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

    "Me knowing the truth, I can not concur."

    Umm you make ALL these points but he does SO much more work and better shit in Soundgarden.. we all know how good he is because of his work in Soundgarden. This is the man playing Jesus Christ Pose day in day out!

    Think he destroyed Even Flow too though?

    But yeah Dave A to come back IF Matt was leaving but no one has said he is so just chill!

    official threads must have 3 stars in the subject heading to qualify as being official. 2 don't count.

    I agree... Matt is far more compatible with Soundgarden than Pearl Jam in my opinion, in terms of the sound he provides each band. For Pearl Jam, I'd prefer any previous drummer of theirs over Matt... Come on, Jack Irons :mrgreen:
