    If you look back at the live shows with Dave A, he is almost battling Eddie for the spotlight.  Those shows are almost all focused on the drums and vocals. They really brought out the best in each other and the intensity is what attracted most people to their live shows in the early days.  My theory is that you had two equally talented musicians, crushing it every night and Eddie didn’t want to share the spotlight. Not going to be popular on this forum but that is probably why Dave A got fired.  Too bad they didn’t use healthy competition to take their craft to the next level. 
    Lol
    Right?! Now I’ve heard it all. Dave got fired cuz Ed was jealous of Dave grabbing the spotlight. Glad I wasn’t swallowing a drink when I read that!

    Matt is the best.  I always thought Mind Your Manners is his masterpiece. 
    Jack Irons is equally great but completely different 
    imo

    I found my place......and it's alright

Doesn’t mean I’m not a huge fan of Matt Cameron....he’s a pro’s pro.
    Ridiculous.

    You must be high. Equally talented? Free speech, it’s a hell of a drug.

    I believe this was Dave’s last show that he ever played with the band...
    https://youtu.be/uUJqQHY1As8

    This show is fire, they only played like one or two slow songs lol. No Black or Alive. Garden/Footsteps combo is killer and Satan’s Bed is played for only the second time ever. Back then it was called “In Love Already”. Sonic Reducer is great as well, the band is just tenacious here. What more can you say.

    Satan's Bed never went by another name, those are just poorly mislabeled illicit unofficial bootlegs. 
    His eminence has yet to show.

    Ed quips a LOT of things all the time into a microphone.  He started off with saying my favorite line in this next is I'm Already in Love in response to the girl in the crowd constantly screeching I love you at him earlier.

    Here's a drummer

     Image result for christian tanna

    (I Mother Earth)

    Highly underrated/noticed/known

    There are a lotta places I was expecting this thread to go. A Christian Tanna shout-out wasn't one of them, but dammit I'll take it.
