    crazy isn't it. he is a madman when he is fully unleashed... can't wait to see SG in May.

    come to think of it, I prefer his drumming in TOTD over PJ. that was a great show.

    Strange time signatures and his Jazz training fit more to a band like Soundgarden than Pearl Jam, in my humble opinion.

    First CD I bought as a young drummer was Superunknown. My instructor had the book and we learned it start to finish. Wasn't long after that I picked up Vs and the PJ thing obviously stuck, but I've been a MFC fan ever since. For the record, he's awesome on Binaural, but I agree that his is holding back considerably on the other studio albums.

    Not even close for me either. Soundgarden takes him to the next level! Especially watching him live.

    I mean this in the most respectful way because he is hands down my favorite drummer alive. I see Matt as more of a musician and artist in Soundgarden where as he is more of a marathon man and role player in Pearl Jam. Both bands are better because of him.

    Also my favorite live Matt performance I have been present for would have to be the Temple of the Dog shows in Seattle last year. I have never seen Soundgarden though so that'll change one day.

    I prefer his drumming in Pearl Jam because when he drums for Pearl Jam he is playing drums on a Pearl Jam song. Will take that over Soundgarden every time.

    His 98 tour drumming is my favorite. Very raw. Loved it.

    Agreed. I honestly could not care less about anything from Soundgarden or Chris Cornell.

    his style definitely suits Soundgarden better, but his contributions have been great for Pearl Jam.

    Where the hell is the option for TOTD because that mofo MFC fucking killed it on that tour.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
