    What (if anything) would you like Pearl Jam fans to know about Dave Krusen? (an open question)

    Thanks Hoff!

    Here's what i'm going to do about multiple questions:

    If you ask, say 5, and someone else asks 1, but it's the same question as someone who posted multiples, then i'll take it from the person who asked 1, and take the best of the other 4 from the other poster... make sense? Lol... it does to me. Trying to be fair and get 20 people in w/a question each.

    I asked him his preference as to 20 questions, or to send him every one that gets asked for him to answer at his discretion, and he said to try to keep it to 20. :)

    My question will be, "what is the complete list of studio tracks we can hear you on?" Obviously, everything from the Ten recording sessions... but others?

    GREAT IDEA!


    Mr Krusen:

    Your time with the band has been the most mysterious, as it is the least documented. I'm glad you're participating in this!

    What was the reason for your departure?

    Have you been in contact with the band since your departure?

    What did your kit on the recording of Ten consist of?
    (cymbal brand and types and drum brand and types - however general or specific)

    Do you have any photos of your time in the band that you can share with us?

    Do you currently listen to Pearl Jam's music? If so, aside from Ten, what are your favorite album(s)?

    How would PJ's sound have progressed if you remained in the band?

    What are your favorite bands/albums in your collection?

    Have you been asked to participate in any way in the PJ20 festival? If not, would you be interested to participate, if asked?

    ...and, will you sign my Ten super deluxe edition? (if so, please send me a PM with his address)

    Lol, if you had to pick 1?

    Um....

    (and LeatherMosquitoMan... I'd say YOU decide the best questions... none of us would mind with multiple "credit" for redundant questions. and I think he'd answer 25 if we tried.) :)

    Yeah, i was thinking that... i mean if someone posts 5 questions better than 20 other people, it'd be kinda silly to put them in.

    hey a lot of these questions have been answered in the All That's Sacred podcasts 59 & 61. and I remember a drum mag (maybe a manufacturer) website had the exact kit he played on Ten with cymbals listed too. I'll try to find it.

    He mentioned in the podcast that the drumming since has sounded just slightly wrong (on the TEN tracks). Who has sounded the better out of Dave A, Jack and Matt?

    Good point Liam.

    OP - before giving the questions to Dave Krusen, you may want to post the list of them, and then maybe previous interviews may have answered some already.
    ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you. :)

    I'd love to know what he remembers most about being in the studio and recording the album. What was the vibe like.. did they all work well together having this new singer?

    Donny Anderson's two interviews in the podcast cover a LOT of ground. People should give them a listen before you finalize the list of questions, IMO.

    Dave... What was your experience like working with Candlebox? Really enjoyed your drumming on Happy Pills and the work on Into the Sun. Really talented bunch of musicians, and was curious how working with them compared to working with Pearl Jam. Thanks.

    Original Poster...thanks for doing this.

    I would really like to know this too

    My question would be: Did you ever try or were you asked to be back in the band? Maybe after Dave A left?
    Take me for a ride before we leave...

    Does he actually keep up with the band? Has he seen them live since?
    Straight down the center for a hot chicken dinner!
