New Rolling Stone article about Abbruzzese

CantKeepmedown

Wah, wah, wah.....PJ didn't invite me to the RRHOF ceremony.........

I wouldn't have went anyways.

Just go away.

Lots and lots of complaining from this guy. First he complains the Hall didn't induct him. Then its that he wasn't invited. Then he supposedly gets invited......doesn't go.......complains he wasn't invited. He needs to move on.

At this point I'm glad he wasn't originally invited and wasn't there. His actions now speak volumes.

He needs to give it up....starting to sound like a little biotch.

Yeah I get what he's saying but it's been 20 years...let's move forward.

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

Can this guy please just go away and stop embarrassing himself? I can't believe he's still going on and on about this. Wow!

100% agree.

Pearl Jam really took the high road on this with the open letter thanking all the drummers. And Ed recognized Dave A. for being a great drummer in his induction speech. There's really not anything else that could have been expected from the band.
If you had a bad breakup with a girl you were dating many many years ago, you wouldn't invite her to your 25th wedding anniversary party just to have awkward moments.

Is the anniversary party, to a large extent, celebrating the accomplishments of your relationship with the ex?

My bad-didn't see this post and just posted this article as a new thread

Matt Chamberlain politely declined the invitation. Jack Irons graciously accepted the invitation. Dave...behaved like this.

it doesn't get any eddie vedder than this caption!

but seriously, Dave A needs to let it go, this is beyond embarrassing.
If Dave A was invited why would anyone want to see such an awkward moment on stage? I think ed did that himself when going into his global warming speech lol.

No discussions about this would be great.

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

Exactly.

If this happened to any of us-we wouldn't be so quick to let it go.

Its just a shame that differences couldn't be set aside for one night so that everyone could look back and celebrate ALL aspects of the band's history; Dave A was an integral part of that history and deserves to be properly honored for his role-not just given a shot-out.

Furthermore, imagine if Mike had been fired-lets say around the time of his rehab stint, and he had only been with the band for their 3 biggest albums-wouldn't everyone agree that Mike would have deserved to be inducted?

That's all I'm saying.

But it really is beating a dead horse at this point.

Its not right, but will not change-its a recurring theme in life that everyone has to deal with at some point.

Dave A hasn't played a show with the greatest band in the world in TWENTY THREE years.

They've played hundreds of shows since, added two amazing drummers, released hundreds of bootlegs, made 7 records and played in front of hundreds of thousands of fans all over the globe.

Out of the band's almost 27 year career, he was part of three years.

And MFC destroys him on the kit.

Someone needs to move on. It's been TWENTY THREE YEARS.

And he was fired for a reason.

Dave A. -- and some internet losers -- are the only ones still whining. Grow up.

Then why doesn't he turn his ire towards the RRHOF?

Blredyellow

That's basically an Alternative Nation "article." RS is crap.

Krusen played on Ten and was a founding member. Dave A only sounds more childish attacking him.

PJ is in the rock hall because of 1991-1994. He was the drummer from 1991-1994. I think that's all us "losers" are saying
