What Members of Pearl Jam Will Be Inducted Into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
So... the band has went through a few drummers. Who is going to get inducted? Obviously, we have the 4 that have been there the whole time (Ed, Jeff, Stone & Mike)... but who else?
When KISS got inducted, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons were upset that only the original four were inducted, even though they had several other members throughout the years, some that played with them a long, long time. I seem to remember them pointing out the Chili Peppers as an example of a band that had several members inducted, even some that had very little time with the Chili Peppers.
Are there any rules to this? I don't think so. I think it's totally the RRHOF's decision. Obviously, bands don't get to decide (as I mentioned in the KISS example).
If I were to guess, Pearl Jam members getting inducted will include:
Eddie
Jeff
Stone
Mike
Matt (member since 1998, has played on half of their albums)
Dave Krusen (played on their biggest-selling, most popular album)
Dave Abbruzzese (played on two #1, multi-platinum albums)
Jack Irons (played on two platinum albums)
I truly hope these 8 make it. I think it would be incredibly shitty if, for example, Dave A. is left out and Jack Irons is included.
I would say no to Boom and Matt Chamberlain (never played on an album).

Wikipedia also mentions Krusen left the band in May 1991, so after recording but before the release of Ten. I think the whole drummer thing is very tricky when it comes to induction. I'm guessing the band is very loyal to Matt and Jack mostly. They've known Matt forever, even played on the original demos, right? Matt is their current drummer and has been in the band 18+ years (but during the latter half, less commercially successful period). Jack lined up Stone and Jeff with Eddie, so he's an important figure in PJ's inception as well... BUT, I don't believe he stands out more than Abbruzzese as far as inception honors go.

Jack's my favorite. I could easily see him being left out over the other three, and I think that would be total robbery.
I think the band breaking out Angel this year and mentioning Dave A from the stage shows they're ok with him being there for that nite...
The other drummers will get a shout out from someone in the band during the acceptance speech, but that will be the extent of it IMO.
I'm pretty sure Boom has played on a few albums...certainly on at least Riot Act. It would be a shame if he wasn't inducted, he has been such a big part of their live shows since 2002.
You're thinking of Matt Chamberlain. He was session guy, post-DaveK, pre-Dave A. Dave K was definitely a full band member.

-my dad after hearing Not for You for the first time on SNL .
EDIT: I checked and he's played on Riot Act, Avocado and Lightning Bolt. Just not Backspacer.

EV will do what he did with a copy of the Rolling Stone when they insinuated that EV was the band.
PJ is not without MC.
