    My issue with all this is that it would have made more sense for Soundgarden to postpone the 2014 shows (or not have booked them at all). There is no Soundgarden without Matt Cameron. Let Matt spend some time with his family and fulfill what he has committed to with PJ in 2014, then get back to where he is best in Soundgarden for 2015. Makes sense to me anyway.

    And all this shit about him "choosing PJ over Soungarden" in this thread... someone even said "we won" :roll: He had already committed time to PJ, then had to choose between Soundgarden or family. I massively respect him for needing and choosing to spend quality time with his family. In the long run, I hope for the pure reason of not wasting his talent that he can dedicate himself to Soundgarden as much as possible. In PJ, he's basically a backing musician for what has become a middle of the road rock band, which is a massive shame.

    Why are you even here then? Why waste your talent posting on a middle of the road rock band's forum?

    Middle of the road? I may be a bias PJ fan but you can't turn on the television without hearing PJ. I was watching the Steelers game yesterday for christ's sake and Infallible took us to the the commercial. Pearl Jam is far more commercial (No pun intended) then SG and they are hot right now. To say Pearl Jam is a "middle of the road" band is just being ignorant to where they are right now as a band. You might not like what they have become but they are far from that.
