"Hello Knights of the Soundtable faithful,

I will be taking 2014 off from Soundgarden touring due to prior commitments promoting "Lightning Bolt" with my brothers in Pearl Jam and the desire to have more time at home with my family. I am trying to balance the many twists and turns of my awesome music career. This is temporary. I am still an active member of Soundgarden. Chris, Ben, Kim and I are in the process of finding the perfect substitute for the upcoming Soundgarden dates in 2014.

Thank you all for listening and the Years of Support!

Loudest of Love.
Matt Cameron"

    I didn't see the other post..

    And yes, technically he has left the drum stool of sound garden, to play drums for pj.

    So he did leave Sg for Pj.

    Lets all remeber when jack left pj he was on "hiatus" as well..

    Thanks for the insults.

    I was at my house this morning. Now I am not. I will be back at my house later.

    Did I leave my house to be somewhere else? Yes :wink:

    Why the hate? technically he did leave SG for pearl jam, at least for 2014. You can be rosy about it all you want but in 2014 Matt will leave soundgarden without a drummer to play for pearl jam.

    Thanks :)

    People want to jump all over people! I quoted Matt's own words in the thread.

    And again, he is leaving SG. He won't be on tour with them.

    He chose to do that to be the drummer for pearl jam...

    So I agree, I don't get the insults.

    But there is a good thread on this already. And I didn't know that..

    Lets all continue the discussion here - viewtopic.php?f=4&t=224492

    With the lack of PJ shows in the past few years, I wondered if Matt being in two bands was one of the leading causes.... I guess Matt finally had to make a choice.. had to be a tough one.

    I guess we won :)

    A bit harsh & uncalled for.

    If you go to a SG show next year and you look behind the drum kit, that won't be Matt sitting there. So, he has in a way temporarily left SG to be somewhere else.

    I like one of the first lines in his statement where he stated he is leaving due to "prior commitments". So, let the rumors start about where those commitments are at. :D More US shows maybe? Hopefully they hit the Midwest. It's been awhile for Cleveland & even longer for Detroit. I know there are people hoping for shows in Minnesota, Denver, Iowa, & several other cities that haven't been visited for awhile.

    More PJ ! I love it! :D

    Tour ends Feb. 2. And then he's not going to be in either band for a while. That's more realistic.

    So wait...is Dave A. coming back to PJ so Matt can play with Soundgarden?!

    I would never be so lucky to see Dave play.
    To see PJ's music played with the funk and tight groove, sigh. I really wish.

    Jimmy Chamberlain is the only drummer who can likely balance the PJ / SG line between Dave and Matt.

    Yeah - my thoughts on a worthy replacement lean towards Jimmy Chamberlain as well, maybe Josh Freese or Ray Luzier could pull it off as well.

    Thanks for the post.
    It's funny, people will spend a hundred pages speculating that Jeff walked off stage because he was mad at Ed, with absolutely no proof, but when someone shares news with a slightly misleading title they are declared an idiot. :fp:
    Man, what a place!

    Here's a little Jimmy for everyone.

    SG would be a piece of cake for him. PJ would be too.

    Slightly off topic, but on topic of this post: I saw Soundgarden when they first got back together in Jersey in a hoops/hockey arena. Seemed empty. Show wasn't so great. Then I saw them in a smaller venue in NYC and it was perfect for them and the crowd. If they continue to do that and play festivals they'll be just fine. Obviously for MAtt to keep his hat in both rings is brilliant. Again, I don't think Matt will miss much with either band in 2014.
