    If they've known for a bit, then perhaps they've also had time to think about how they, if they, carry onwards. We'll all be waiting. If Dark Matter was it, then that's one hell of a swan song.

    It's fun to play fantasy drummer draft but I'll be sitting over here with a pit in my stomach unless/until there's a firm reason not to

    The dark matter tour took in USA Europe and Australia New Zealand.  A lap of honor maybe. What a lap. They nailed it. They could do an REM now. Vanish

    Get Dave Grohl in to work on any new album, a grunge full circle moment.

    Then you can tour with whoever.

    As cool as it would be to see Josh Freese, I don't see it happening. I just don't know how good of a fit he would be. I wonder if they might source someone local. I was trying to think who could be good. I know Mudhoney is still making music and touring, but Dan Peters is a helluva drummer. Plus he's in a band with Mark Arm, who in Green River with Jeff and Stone.

    Are we all forgetting how many songs PJ has in their catalog and how hard it must be as a new drummer coming into a band like PJ to just "pick up where things were left".

    If any new drummer eventually does come into the mix, it's going to take years for them to be able to just wing setlists like they've been used to doing their entire career.

    Because of that, I think they sadly go the route of festivals playing the "hits" and then splash in a few songs from their new album with the new drummer.

    It's an end of an era.

    A new drummer will learn the songs just fine.

    My money is on Matt Chamberlain as well!  Another MC that has a good history with the guys.

    I think that what they could most likely do is have a roster of 30-50 songs for a given tour as a main rotating list and then the days leading up to any given show have the drummer learn any one-offs

    I think PJ can still make it work.  Their material isn't neccesarily like a drummer coming in having to learn the entire Rush or Tool catalogue

    So they wouldn't be hiring a professional drummer then?

    I highly doubt this for 2 reasons:

    1.  There’s no way they let Matt announce  he is leaving the band and THEN stop touring.  That would set Matt up unfairly to be the fall guy for why the band stopped touring.  They would never do that to him.  

    2. Pearl Jam’s statement refers to Matt’s time in the band as an important chapter.  That implies there is more to the story for the band.
