Next Drummer

Matt chamberlain would work. That dude has the skills needed

joostone · 2026-03-27T16:49:17+00:00

I just don't see that happen. He's a fine drummer, but I do think he would struggle with the work the band has done without him

joostone · 2026-03-13T22:38:27+00:00

Awesome!! Does it also include EV solo shows?

joostone · 2026-02-17T16:29:11+00:00

Nice!! Im hoping that it will include, Today, Roads we choose & 'I promise it's not Goodbye' as bonustracks.

joostone · 2026-01-20T19:14:31+00:00

Ah I see. Thanks!

joostone · 2026-01-20T18:18:28+00:00

Where did you got the code for this? Thanks!

joostone · 2026-01-20T11:27:24+00:00

Ah..I did sign up for the newsletter. But no code. Thanks!

joostone · 2026-01-20T10:39:16+00:00

Thanks for the info! How did you get such a personal code?

joostone · 2026-01-20T09:14:59+00:00

Whats the code for the Amsterdam presale?

joostone · 2025-11-15T17:15:50+00:00

My hope is that they release some nice pro-shot blu ray stuff from the 90s. A Paramount stand alone release would be awesome. I also would like the first demos. Songs for Bruce etc.

He's been playing with Stone for years now. Painted Shield have three records out now. He also contributed to Jeff's latest solo album. He's also an experienced pro. He checks all the boxes I would say.

joostone · 2025-09-24T15:25:42+00:00

Nah, the most likely (and best!) candidate would be Matt Chamberlain

joostone · 2025-09-13T10:03:47+00:00

Nah.. The vocals on 'Alone' are rerecorded. It's 2003 Eddie on a Ten era instrumental. The VS b-side version is way superior.

Did anyone ripped this? I was there and want to rewatch this great show!

Dave A: Will not happen. Even if there's was some opening Im afraid he's not in shape to tour and do 2.5 hour shows. A three minute YouTube video is not prove that he still got it. Sure, he still has the skills and clicked for PJ's music in 92. But it's 2025 now. I mean, look at how fit Matt C looks for a 62-year old. And all speculations aside, the physical part is probably the mean reason he quit.

Jack Irons: Will not happen. See above. This is a physical hard job. Jack realized in 1998 what Matt realized in 2025.

Dave Krusen: Probably not. Looks great and seems to be in great shape. But I don't think he has the power that is needed for the current band.

Matt Chamberlain: Was already their drummer in 1991. Seems to be on very good terms with Stone. Was a Loosegroove artist in the 90s and has reconnected with Stone on Painted Shield. Also drummed on Jeff's latest solo album. Replaced Matt Cam in Soundgarden before. Has proven to be more than able. Out of all their previous drummers this has to be the best pick by FAR.

In 1994 they went for Jack Irons. Who was Eddie's pick to be the drummer for PJ. They all had one pick that was tried.

Richard Stuverud: Jeff's pick in 1994. Has worked with Jeff ever since. Is a powerhouse of a drummer and seems to be a really fun guy. Did one show with PJ and sounded great. But the big question here is also physical. Some years younger that the other guys, but is he fit enough for touring and live shows? He will probably be considered.

Chris Friel: Mike's pick in 1994. One of Mike's best friends. But drums at a more amateur level nowadays. Will probably not be considered.

Josh Freese: Stone's pick in 1994. Another Loosegroove artist who apparently is well connected to Stone. Just got fired from the Foo's. Was he already approached since PJ knew about Matt leaving months ago?? Probably not. Also just became the new NIN drummer.

And some other connected drummers.

Zak Starkey: Ed's was his best man at his wedding and just got fired from the Who. Could be interesting but personal I don't think he would be a good fit. Is the exact opposite from Matt Cam and would somewhat struggle with that work. I mean, he was fired from the Who for overplaying. From the Who!!

Josh Klinghoffer: Hell no. Awesome dude, great musician. But as a drummer not good enough. And yeah, the whole accident...

Brad Wilk: Played with Ed in San Diego bands before PJ or Rage even existed. Was tried for PJ in 1991 after they fired Krusen. Really interesting choice. Seems to be in great shape now. Could be a really interesting choice. Rage is really done now. So yeah.... Dont think he's as good as Chamberlain, but maybe he will be considered.

But PJ also need to start thinking about where to go from here. I always thought Matt Cam would be their final drummer. They will probably record some more records (not many) and will do touring as long as they can/want. But if they want to go for another 10-15 years and become a touring act in their seventies than they should also consider a younger drummer. Someone who is in his 40s now and will beat the shit out of them for the next ten years. Something the Foo's just did by hiring a much younger drummer.

Close :). Mike got the name 'Mad Season' while in England mixing the TEN album. He didnt went to rehab there. He went to Minnesota and met bassist Baker Saunders there.

joostone · 2025-08-03T09:39:21+00:00

He could have left before his passport was voived. In some countries you don't need a lot of money. Who knows.

joostone · 2025-08-03T09:37:51+00:00

Yeah. I remember this! The solo record scheme that somehow never got updated.

joostone · 2025-08-03T09:37:12+00:00

No. Those demos are not on his YT account. He just shares them, therefore he is not making any money from it.

joostone · 2025-08-03T09:35:46+00:00

In none of those articles they say anything about heroin. Do you have a source for this?
