    He might as well specially if PJ is not going to tour! He can just sit in I don’t think it would mean him becoming thee drummer! I have zero problem with this scenario

    Toronto Sun says Matt is one of two likely drummers...and they say they have a source rather than just parroting another report.

    A source told The Sun about how 60-year-old Pearl Jam rocker Matt Cameron – who was a close friend of Taylor’s – and Angels and Airwaves drummer Atom Willard, 49, are in line to become his replacements for the shows: “The Foos have been working with a number of musicians close to Taylor and the band over the past few months.

    “Matt and Atom are front runners to drum at the gigs, the first of which is in May.

    “Primarily it will be Matt but Atom will be on rotation with him. They have both been rehearsing at Studio 606, the Foos’ studio.

    Not true, nobody ‘auditions’ Matt Fuckin Cameron  =)
    Yeah to be honest, this is the part that makes it really implausible, that they are choosing between Matt and the dude from Against Me. No offense to that musician, but Matt is a legend. If Matt were truly interested in this gig, Dave Grohl would have to think about it for about a millisecond before giving him the job. 

    Axl Rose toured with AC/DC for crissakes so it would be shocking but not impossible that Matt wants to tour more than the rest of Pearl Jam do, but there is no "honing down the list to two drummers" if Matt is on the list. 
    The FF may need more than one drummer if Matt said he can't commit to playing with them full time. Soundgarden split tour dates between MC and Chamberlain for this reason, if I recall correctly.

    It's a direct copy of the UK Sun article.. or the other way around. Either way basically the same "source" so who knows.

    You are right, I didn't catch that.

    He’s loved by the fan base not sure how you perceive it differently! Me personally my favorite drummer is still JI but never hate on MC he’s been a solid drummer for them for so long.

    I could see Matt playing with the Foos in May, June, and July and then turning it over to Atom for the August and September shows.

    Yes. The majority of us love him. But apparently you haven't seen the posts complaining about his drumming.

    Agree.  I think it's awesome if he does it, especially if PJ has decided to take another year off, which seems to be the case aside from maybe the few late summer sheds to be rumored.

    You could even throw 3rd Secret in there. I know they’ve only released one album but there’s a second on the way and Krist Novoselic is involved.

    Matt Cameron is the champion of the world. If this rumor is true, he likely will have performed with 3 successful R'n'R HoF bands (being nominated for 2). He seems like a genuinely nice guy, and a good parent. He quietly does charitable stuff. He's respected by peers and bandmates. I don't think life is a game, but he seems to have won it anyway.
