  1. Well... PJ should just call it a day then.You cant do 2 things at once,and it seems as if thats what Jeff and Stone and Matt are doing.Eddie is just,hanging out it seems.

    If I was Matt,Id leave PJ for Soundgarden in a heartbeat.They are by no means a extra spare tire,part time band.At this point in time,Soundgarden are far better then PJ.

    As we have said, in the past few months...King Animal destroys anything PJ have done since Yeild..and that was 15 years ago.

    Prague is very good – certainly up there for me. But Ed, remember Manchester II? Go, Animal & Hail Hail. My legs were dead afterwards but not to mention the crowd were arseholes during those three particular songs because of their high energy.

    Yes,I remmeber this very well...my Boddingtons was bouncing all over,from the floor shaking....

    Long live Strangeways Brewery !!!

    carry on.

    Hopefully they don't play "Unemployable" simply because they've realized that it sucks.

    Word on the street is that Amsterdam 2 is the best show but for me, it's Berlin 1.

    Both "Man 2" and Prague are excellent, however.

    Matt Cameron should leave PJ. Soundgarden just released a very well-received album and should try for a second one sooner than later. There's no way PJ will be able to appease their fans if he's in two places at once.

    I don't think this means that PJ should break up, however. I'm sure there's a capable drummer out there to take MC's place, be it temporarily or permanently. What about the drummers from the band members' side projects like Brad or RNDM? They must have some connection/vibe that PJ could use, no? I mean, it's only the drummer.
  6. Maybe PJ should explore the possibility of Jack Irons returning ?..or maybe they can borrow Chad Smith from the RHCP ???

    Since the band are only playing 4 shows from now,until whenever..they can just hire whomever....
  7. Jack Irons will not return. With the length of shows and the setlist variation that Pearl Jam like to do, Irons would reject purely for that matter. Chad Smith, on the other hand, would be a terrific drummer although it really depends on RHCP's touring schedule, and I'm guessing they will be making a new album soon. He also has his Meatbats band too.

    I was going to suggest Dave Grohl until I remembered that he has many projects already and it may be a little weird.

    Wouldn't mind a certain Mr Dave A. back behind the helm. Or even Dave Krusen?

    Chad Smith is a "classic" but I think the band should try to find someone a little more permanent.

    I can see why one might feel, however, that PJ doesn't need a permanent drummer.
  9. They really don't need a permanent drummer....think about it....they are a part time band,they get together for a few festival gigs,and maybe a mini tour once a year....a guest drummer could handle that quite easily.

    I play drums. Chad Smith is an awesome drummer but RHCP play 19-20 song sets that run a little more than an hour and a half with very little setlist variation. Don't underestimate The importance of MC. The dude is a machine. I think they definitely need a permanent drummer. He's the glue and with length of shows and the variation he's def an important part of the live shows. I understand the point of them being a part time band but my mindset is that they'll get back to full time soon ( hopefully)and they'll need him more than ever lol I go through phases of hating some of my bands but Muse has filled the spot for now so I still have love for PJ no matter how much they tour

    The way I look at it,they didnt tour "full on" after Backspacer was released.Which,I still cant understand.Yes,they played a bunch of shows out west,in Sept 2009,but they havent returned since.(Over 3 years on,and the band havent played a single show in Seattle.)They took a couple of weeks off,then played 4 gigs on the east coast in Philly.I was lucky enough to attend 2 of these shows(10.28 & 30.09).They went on to Australia (solid tour),but then,for some unforsaken reason,folded the tents for 6 full months.How was that supporting Backspacer ?

    More frustrating,the mini May 2010 tour,the band sounded amazing.I saw the band 3 times,Newark (05.18) and MSG (05.20 & 21) X2.Why would they tour for only 2 weeks ? And why 9 months after Backspacer was released ???? They should have been touring from Sept 09 - to early Dec 09.....then say pick it up again mid Jan 2010 until April 2010.That would have been a nice supporting tour.

    So what Im saying is this..if they didnt go full out to support Backspacer in 2009 - 2010,why would they do it now,or in 2014 ? or whenever this album is released ...
  12. I guess I never gave Matt Cameron enough credit? With a new drummer, maybe the band would have to reduce the number of songs they play per "tour" to "just" 50 or so!

    Hopefully they'll play the "right" 50 songs.
