    Jack Irons

    Haha, nice one mate.

    I stuill reckon Matt is the best. Even though i hate chat kroeger, I didnt mind that song. But if u got that from wickipedia it isnt exactly solid evidence.

    !!! Have even listened to Naveed / Clumsy / Happiness / Spiritual Machines !!! Each album is a classic! How dare 'ye!
    I agree. OLP rocks! Great to hear some support from our Southern neighbours. Live show is like a Pearl Jam show, except not as good and everyone including the band is a little more stoned. Raine's solo album is pretty cool too. Trying listening to it right after Into the Wild. Do you remember which tracks Matt played on? I know Jeremy (Taggart) was walking his dog at like three in the morning, got mugged, and hurt his leg. Pearl Jam happened to be in the area (October 2000) and Matt layed downed tracks for four songs. Awesome of him to do that. Wasn't Jeremy considered as a replacement when Jack left?

    OLP sucks.

    Saw them in a bar in Brampton just after Naveed was released. We didn't even stop playing pool. LOL

    Dave A is a classical trained Jazz drummer it seemed with him there was more popper beats and snappy and he hot real hard it was more energetic thank Matt but on the other hand Matt is a machine of technical brilliance therefore its down to what you prefer, for me its Dave A because of the raw energy and them snappy beats he brought
    This makes sense to me--it does seem like Dave A. had a unique syncopation.

    I think people only like Jack Irons cause he played on Yield and No Code, cause seriously... blah...

    Jack Irons played the bass drum into the ground to the point it got hard to listen.

    Matt is the best, by far. His fills are fantastic, and keeps a great tempo.

    so true.

    and yes, i love jack because no code and yield are my two favorite albums of all time. their songwriting and creativity were at their best with jack, and the shows from that era were unreal.

    ooooohhhhh, jack irons . . . ooooohhhhh, jack irons
  • Matt played on other people's albums! How lame is that? It's called being a "session drummer". Lots of drummers (some of the best) have done it. It doesn't mean they're making some kind of profund collaboration. So stop being douchebags.

    Neither Dave A. nor Matt Cam have anything on Jack Irons. PJ was at their creative peak with Jack. The chemistry was perfect.

    Sorry dude, you are missing the point.

    Why the hell would Matt play with some of the biggest douche bags in music. One of whom openly brags about the fact that he used to put his own junk in his mouth.

    I can't think of any better way to submit my 500th post than to second this comment. The Jack years were the peak.

    Personally, I cant listen to any boots with jack on them. The drumming is just unlistenable. Way too heavy on the bass drum. Matt uses the cymbals much better than Jack.

  • dave a is fat and over weight now

    matt cameron also did drum tracks for smashing pumpkins and drummed for the entire solo album by geddy lee, you know, the singer from rush, the band with neil peart, regarded as one of the best drummers in rock, and matt played on it, thats awesome, and yes i realize this is one big run-on sentance.

    if you dont like matt cameron i i don't understand you. he has more energy than any other drummer they had.
    Ya left out a little band called soundgarden....I agree Matt rock's,and it's not because he's the current drummer,but because the guy has talent..
    Now we got a fuckin fight up here,what there's a republican in the audience,what's going on? Eddie(Randell's Island N.Y 96)

    The only person's opinion that really matters is Ed's, and he clearly digs Matt. Studio wise- I dig Jack the best, but live, Matt is clearly the most consistent and tightest.

    I don't know what it means to "dig yourself through the center of the earth", but if I understand the point you are trying to make, seems like you are comparing apples and oranges my friend.

    I'm just a little embarassed that the current drummer of Pearl Jam likes to colaborate with the likes of ball sucking nickleback, saliva, and our lady peace.

    Dave A. is the best PJ drummer ever.

    I was just watching VH1's best week ever, and they mentioned that the lead singer for Nickleback did an interview with Playboy, and told the magazine he used to...um..."pleasure himself": http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article896767.ece

    I wanted to confirm the accuracy of said outlandish claim--and I discovered on Wikipedia that Matt Cameron performed with him, and fellow douche bag lead singer from Saliva, for a song on the Spiderman soundtrack: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chad_Kroeger

    Why have I never heard this? How is this acceptable?
    This has been discussed before during the Riot Act era.

    BTW, is it true that Matt couldn't make it to the the video shoot so the drummer from that sh!tty Canadian band, Our Lady Peace fulled in the set?


    *I wonder if Matt missed it purposely because he didn't want any of the Jammers see him in a video with Nickelback + Saliva ;)
