Exhibit A

Sounds so refreshing not sped up!

It sounds great at that tempo, but...

There are only about half a dozen people dancing/jumping around in a sea of cell phones. That's a pretty sad sight to see, especially at a first gig

Just to be clear, you know MC can play at any tempo or any odd meter right? He’s a world class drummer and a machine. There’s no chance he solely makes the decision at how fast or slow they play songs. There’s 4 other guys that have to keep up and have a say.

We all know there's a large metronome secreted under the stage for every show. 

I think these are bs responses. Yes Matt is world renowned, a machine, one of the greatest drummers in the world BUT sometimes its safe to say when styles clash on some songs. Dave Navarro is a great guitarist for Jane's but stylisticly clashed w the chili peppers. The fact os , Ever since Matt became PJs drummer, for one reason or the other, certain songs  sped up, period. As an example,  why was Alive played at its original pace at the Rock and roll HOF w Dave? Different style. 

Anyway, not bashing Matt, just wanted to point out that  it sounded refreshing hearing some  songs at their original pace last night , don't get your panties up on a bunch. BTW , If some fans mention that aspect of Matt, there's a reason for it, you don't have to like EVERYTHING PJ does 

Haha. Ok 

Les Claypool is one of the greatest bassist alive, a "machine". Metallica didn't want anything to do with him because they knew styles would clash for the most part. Those responses of "It's all 5 band members blah blah"  are whack. Truth is, I'm glad Matt has blended in w PJ over the last decade, he's good w new material, now glad/hope,  old material is sounding original again 👌 😀 

I just can’t believe EV put up with Matt playing all those songs so fast for so long. Glad he finally stood up to him and put his foot down. 

Comparing primus and Metallica? Cmon. Not even the same sport. Even the way the bass is mixed. Not a fair comparison at all. Agree to disagree. 

Let's be honest, Matt is their Boi, they love each other. Ed respects the hell out of Matt. I think its fair to say the boys made some tweaks to make sure Matt fit in musically. Just a guess. As far as the comparison, I mean, you pretty much said that Matt I'd a master drummer , can play anything regardless of styles. Or didni misunderstand

Tempo isnt a style. It’s tempo. You saying he can’t keep tempo is laughable to me. That’s it. Who knows. It’s all speculation. I can’t understand what tweaks would need to be made. Matt came from another grunge/rock band that actually had waaayyy harder songs to play on drums. I play drums and I just laugh when people think it’s all on Matt. Like he’s incapable of playing in time. Has he played older songs stylistically different? Yes. He doesn’t hit every cymbal under the sun like Dave A. His  STYLE isnt quite as tribal as Irons on certain songs. But all that is not tempo. Which was the original argument. Agree to disagree. We’ll never know. 

Not here to argue. We feel different about this. No big deal. Hope I’m not coming off disrespectful 

This.
