    Back in 1998 we probably all hoped you’d be around for a couple of years, 27 years later we say thank you and farewell. 
    Be well Matt. Best Wishes for the next chapter. Thank you so much. We all love you. Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World.

    Thank you Matt; all love!

    This still feels like a punch to the gut, though MFC stabilized the most the most revolving door position in all of rock since Spinal Tap.   
    The Melvins bassist slot takes the most revolving door position. This goes back to 1983. Matt was on his way up from San Diego.

    I love me some MFC!
    Sad, but kinda relieved though. 
    The rumor that I was told before a flight to Nashville was that it was going to be a band members last show in Pittsburgh. 
    They said it was gonna be Mike that was leaving. Maybe to throw me off. 
    Love MFC, but no PJ without Mike.

    I didn't take it seriously, but they insisted and said to do everything I could to get to Pittsburgh.  Hmmm. Missed those.

    I am not in the " know" at all, but I'm pretty sure the band has known for quite a while.


    Bro, a heads up would have been nice.  It does sound like you are in the know.  If someone would have told me that, I would have been there.  Sorry you missed it....but Nashville was great too.
    There's no need to say goodbye

    Yeah. This is a dream fulfilled after seeing the first performance in June 1998!

    He was only playing in the band while the KISS lawsuit was looming over his head.

    I just hope the next drummer is unable to play any Dark Matter songs! 
    And frankly, I don't go to PJ shows to focus on the drummer. It stinks that one of the guys is leaving, but drummer is most replaceable.

    Honestly, I thought the band would break up after the 2000 tour.  Every tour and album since then has been a gift, in my opinion.  I'm a huge Matt Cameron fan and respect the hell out of him. Amazing human, too.  Here's the silver lining, though.  Any of the other 4 core guys want to hang it up, then this ride is over for sure.  I don't think it's over yet.

    Thank you Matt - not sure you are replaceable, you are a legend! Wishing you the very best for your next chapter….and as PJ opens a new chapter, wishing them the best as well. But I’m crying for us fans right now!

    I was so lucky to have witnessed Matt Fucking Cameron behind the kit at every PJ show I went to. When he first joined the band, it got me super excited, but I realistically thought he would be in the band for a couple of years. 27 years later he is stepping down, which of course, is disappointing, but I am thankful for all the shows I got to see him play, both with PJ and Soundgarden. I hope everything is good health wise, which I am sure it is. 

    I have nothing but admiration for MFC, and am very thankful for the 3 hours plus, 35 song shows, I could not imagine how exhausting those shows were. The guy was a beast for this band!
