    Saw that first post-Layne AIC tour and it was not for me. Have seen Puciato do the Layne parts on JC solo tours and that is very much for me.

    Was too big of a Weiland fan to bother with any of the newer STP stuff.

    Would absolutely give a new hypothetical Soundgarden a chance.

    I recall AIC opened for that STP/Guns..velvet revolver? AIC opened for them at Jones Beach at that time no one really heard William sing nor knew what to expect. AIC had slightly larger than a typical opener audience and was a homhim feel at the outset , and after one song, most fans gravitated closer to the stage. Those in stadium to first few rows and everyone in the orchestra close to the stage. 

    The place then lit with emotion and excitement, as they passed their audition on the spot. They’d be popular. But, ymmv.
    The show I saw was a headliner at a 2,500 cap club in Boston. Enough people seem to be totally into it which is fine by me and great for them. Just not my thing.
    House of Blues across from Fenway. Great show 
    It was so long ago that it was still Avalon!

    I feel so grateful for Matt. 
    I don't care if I'm lame but I get tearful thinking of all the times I've seen them with Matt and interacted with Matt or just enjoyed the whole journey.

    I agree! Hence my opinion that this will take a lot longer if at all they get a replacement, most likely just a touring drummer but def not becoming a permanent member.

    Agreed to all. It’s hard to imagine a new permanent member.

    It's a bummer, but when you've had the kind of career Matt (or any of Pearl Jam) has had, you're well within your rights to call your own shots like this.

    I find it interesting that he categorizes Pearl Jam's touring as "constantly." Certainly doesn't feel like that as a fan and relative to other bands I follow. But hey if this opens the door to more touring (or at least not a serious downshifting) it potentially works out for everyone.

    Not getting the sense from that quote above that it’s entirely warm and fuzzy, but I agree with @pjl44 this could work out for all parties involved here!

    There are a few other quotes in there which leave me at "amicable enough I guess."

    I get the long(er) shows but this is not a band that is "constantly touring".  But like others said, he is obvioiusly well within his right to make this call. And it seems almost positive that the band knew going into this last run of shows that it was it for him.  And maybe even before that. I wish him well!!
