    Sounds like the band send out the open invite letter, but didn't get in touch with him directly to invite him and/or work out the logistics?

    I still think the guy has the right to complain about how the RRHOF overlooked him for induction. Just because it's the way it is, doesn't mean you have to like it :) Obviously it was something he really wanted, and he kind of got f'd over.

    Dave is a tormented soul. I hope he finds peace and learns to let go.

    Sorry, Pearl Jam is my favorite band too but it doesn't have to be all roses and unicorns.

    Thanks Bud!! Nice attitude! Don't over anything to it just make something stupid. Negative things can be said too

    I think any discussion should end with this- if Dave were such a talented drummer, why has he been able to land a solid gig in twenty something years? Either he's a tool or not as talented believe. I side with both.

    Isn't the point of the HOF to look back?

    On Facebook, however, Abbruzzese said Pearl Jam's statement did not qualify as an official invitation. "The band tweeted that they welcomed the idea of the event granting the possibility of all the drummers to be in the same room. That isn't an invite."
    This reads to me like they extended the hand, and he wanted no part. I loved the guy, hes a big reason I fell in love with them, but man, hes just his own worst enemy.

    Why is he continuing to bitch if he wasn't going to go invited or not? This is the most attention he's had in 20 years so I think he's trying to milk it as long as possible.

    I think the guy was a good drummer and played with the band during some very integral years, but man he is starting to sound like a douche with all this complaining.

    Did he ever think of reaching out to the band?
