    Hopefully the band will hold open auditions like Primus did earlier this year.  
    Was just thinking this - doesn't seem like their style, but would be a blast if they recorded the auditions ala Primus as well.

    Expect this isnt new news for the band. They had a response ready made to post.

    Hoping for a quick announcement that they have things lined up and in the works already
    That, or they didn't want to overshadow Ozzy.

    How did Dave Krusen sound in Fresno a few years back?
    Krusen sounded like he didn’t miss a beat from what I heard.  He’s also mentioned in an interview of having interest in doing some kind of creative project with the band again. Maybe it’s time to come full circle.

    Klinghoffer is the obvious choice. Toured with the band for the last few years. I think he filled in Oakland. He knows all the songs. 
    definitely the first person that came to mind for me. He’s played drums for a handful of shows that Matt was out for
    The “obvious” choice also played that run, Jeff’s old buddy Richard Stuverud. No idea who they’ll go with but he’s most obvious. Klinghoffer CAN play drums but he’s not really a drummer. He’s primarily a guitarist.

    Surely if there was even a doubt that the rest of the guys were going to continue they wouldn’t have out that band statement out in response to matts and would have just done 1 single statement

    I was stunned to hear this. So upsetting. I hope Matt is ok.

    What a legend. He got to call his shot. Can't begrudge him that. Saw his second-last show, but it's fitting his finale was on the anniversary of Cornell's passing.

    I think this would be the best option to maintain the "aura or legacy" of the band.  Then they can still tour with an "Original lineup" etc..

    Hiring a touring drummer like a Josh Freese would be fine as it means the band would still play shows, but it also might mean Dark Matter is the last truly great PJ album we will ever get

    Would make no sense for Matt to join the Foos.  Assuming he wants to tour less, and PJ has been accommodating this…. Why join the Foos who tour harder than just about anyone?
    I always thought it was Jeff who wasn't keen on touring so much, but was it Matt too? Regardless, I hope it's an amicable split and he's healthy and well and all that. The band will be fine, eventually, somehow.

    Ok. Too bad there isn't a proper send off. Feels bad to me. Didn't read all the stuff though. Good for him i guess.

    React: Damn, we've been blessed with MFC for years and thankful for the time he's helped the band continue touring and pumping out great albums.

    Respond: Curious if or how this changes the makeup of Pearl Jam as a whole, but okay if it takes a little time for them to recharge and regroup before the next tour or album

    Sounds like a possible full album’s worth of Soundgarden material on the way. If they have decided on a vocalist to tour with guessing Matt is going full Soundgarden.
    Would you go see soundgarden without chris?
    Fuck that
    Sure I would. Cuz I still support the surviving members of the band. There was a lot of similar sentiment when AIC kept going. People who boycotted have missed boatloads of great music & shows.

    Just getting the news.  He was there for 27 of the band's 35 years, 7 of the 12 studio albums... so thanks Matt!  For me, if Pearl Jam doesn't get a former PJ drummer back in the fold, I would personally rather see them be done.  We are now at THAT point (they're in their 60s, a longtime member has left).  Don't become one of those bands.  So many bands hang on for too long, keep plugging in new members as original and longtime members start dropping by the wayside.  I just never wanted PJ to become that.  If they can bring back Krusen, Abbruzzese, or Irons... cool, former family members. If not, ride off into the sunset.

    Of course, they can and will do whatever the hell they want.  I just look at this band from a legacy standpoint.  I don't want that tarnished. I feel they already should have retired any number of songs where Eddie is constantly pulling off the microphone because he can't get to those places anymore. 

    How about this?  Farewell tour in 2026.  Krusen plays some Ten songs, Abbruzzese come out for some Vs./Vitalogy stuff, Irons plays some No Code/Yield and Matt agrees to come back for the rest.  Maybe 5 songs each (25 total)?
