    I think he prefers his digital membership.

    No. I think he gets a pretty fair shake as it is. I don't think he cares either.

    I might be wrong, but I don't believe he has a role in creating the music, correct? I always thought he just played with them on tour. If so, I don't think he should be a full time member.

    I'm pretty sure he had a large part in creating LBC.

    Is pearl jam the kind of band that needs to make official announcements? When they hired Matt it sounded temporary and he earned the gig. They never really made an official announcement it was permanent, it sort of happened... I always find it wierd when famous people need to make formal announcements of everything they do.

    His current role certainly doesn't justify him becoming a band member, and I see no reason for his role to change.
    If Boom wanted to be a full band member, then he either would be by now, or would have bailed a long time ago. It's good the way it is. He seems to enjoy his gig, without all the extra work and stress of being a band member.

    many bands have touring-only "semi-members". pj is no different.

    I recall him saying in Immagine in Cornice that he just felt lucky to be able to tour with them. It seemed to me like he was saying "I don't need to deal with all the other BS", but I could be reaching with that.

    imagine, touring the world all expenses paid, playing in front of millions, and getting a cheque.

    no brainer.

    LBC was co-written by EV and Boom (lyrics by EV), and that's it.

    Boom will probably not be a full time member. He knows what he did. :-)

    Why? Everyone is allowed their opinion. Mine just happens to be that if he becomes a full time member, we will have keys in every song. Keys have their place, but in pj, in my opinion, not much of one.

    Don't have a problem with Boom playing with the band but not on songs like Alive where there is no need for keys. Sorry it can't be said enough!

    Seems like a pretty sweet gig he's got. Get a call every year or so to do some shows, show up, play on 1/4 of the songs, get paid well....go home.
    I'd happily take that job....though my piano playing is pretty crappy. ha

    i'd love a tour minus boom. I'd really like to hear some songs as they were played before 2003. (crazy mary for one!)
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......
