Jeff absolutely drives the show with that 12 string bass

[@Lithrilla]

This made me so happy. They're fucking killing it!

Jeff slappeth tha baaasss

[@Lewtallica]

See the young Ed in his eyes early in the song, and vocally but if Vitology days...spin the black circle!

[@prettyyoungthingpyt5015]

Yessss. I closed my eyes the first part of the song and his voice sounded just like 1992 Eddie. His voice stays perfect for this song. I kinda wish he would lose the beard and bring back the long hair!!! Awwwww to have young, hot head, intense, fulla attitude Eddie again!!!

Incredible performance

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lukebs1212]

Cameron's drumming adds so much energy to this performance

[@bobbowie9350]

Too fast with dumb fills

[@Tiberius_Productions]

The problem isn’t Cameron’s tempo. Yeah he's known to be a bit fast, but Abbruzzese did that too sometimes. The problem with Matt’s playing when compared to Dave’s is swing. Plain and simple. Matt plays the beats more straight ahead, and adding more fills for variation, whereas Dave plays with pure swing and does more variations on his cymbal work. No matter how much energy Matt tries to add, if he doesn’t know where the swing is, it’s never going to sound anything like Abbruzzese’s playing. I still love Matt anyways, but he definitely gives Pearl Jam a more punk rock / Dave Grohl feel than the swinging feel Dave Krusen and Abbruzzese added. It is a difference of taste really. Do you like Punk Pearl Jam or Grunge Pearl Jam? Daves’ (plural) got grunge, and Jack & Matt got punk’d lol.

[@chadbutros3935]

@@Tiberius_Productions Good analysis. I personally never liked when PJ went for a punk sound, but even on songs like Spin the black circle, Rearviewmirror, Satan's Bed, Last exit Abbruzzese still managed to create a textured and sophisticated compositions. In fact, there are several songs on Vs and Vitalogy that he saved with his creative drumming. Tremor Christ, WMA and Rats come to mind. He was just an absolute beast that knew exactly what a song needed. As much as I loved Matt in Soundgarden, in PJ his drumming sounds incredibly uninspired. Like he's playing in a band who's music he just can't get into.

She scratches a letter Into a wall made of stone Maybe someday Another child Won't feel as alone as she does It's been two years And counting Since they put her in this place She's been diagnosed By some stupid fuck And mommy agrees Why go home? Why go home? Why go home? She seems to be stronger But what they want her to be is weak She could play pretend She could join the game, boy She could be another clone Ooh, whoa ah, yeah oh Why go home, why go home, why go home, why go home What you taught me (why go home) Put me here don't come visit, mother (why go home) Sting me Why go home, why go home, why go home, why go home What you taught me (why go home) Put me here don't come visit, mother, mother yeah (why go home) Why go home, why go home, why go home, why go home, why go home, whoa

[@truthtruth9056]

Wow

[@potsos]

Sounds great, but would sound better if Cameron didn't turn every early PJ song into a jazz standard. Great drummer, but seems unable to duplicate the funk and feel Dave A put into these tunes.

[@bobbieleed2616]

he generally plays too fast ,

[@hutch1197]

I thought to myself: "Maybe THIS will be the PJ video where nobody in the comments section compares Matt to Dave A. Maybe this is the one!" Alas, I was wrong again.

[@potsos]

@@hutch1197 I understand what you're saying. I honestly love most of Cameron's work and especially his song writing. Its just the way the band reworks to old catalog stuff that drives me nuts. But it is what it is.

[@dankauffmanmusic]

Too fast and no dynamics. Not a comparison. Just a fact

[@aryharyoko7793]

I really missed that crowd

[@DADDYDRAGONGIRL]

the reason why dave played this the best, is because he funk it up, and his lick was hard to follow. and the first is always most of the time the better version. dave added a lot of crash and ride cymble in his licks. look at lollypop live version. dave play the drums like BONZO

[@DADDYDRAGONGIRL]

PINKPOP VERSION, NOT LOLLYPOP. MY BAD

[@07foxmulder]

Dave A wasn’t first.

[@janterrirocks]

Dave was a very bouncy player. Cameron is much more of a power/fluid player. Cameron's work with Soundgarden though... is far superior to his work in PJ, IMO

[@matiasbre]

@@janterrirocks Absolutamente de acuerdo. Los haters de Matt simplemente no lo entenderían.

[@mrgorgun]

Matt Cameron those cymbals aint there for decor,use them once in a while buddy..

[@brandonramirez581]

Exactly my friend. Dave Abbruzzese had that grunge air. His strokes were mixed with the saucers in a powerful way. What a shame not to see such a genius in Pearl Jam drums again.

[@markmclawhorn9592]

Jack Irons was my favorite. Dude even played trash cans on songs.

[@NoxiousPond]

Jack Irons couldnt keep a beat with the hi hat. He played the same on his bass drum foot as his hi hat hand live. he sure could play a great groove in the studio but god he couldnt keep up with PJ live, and thats exactly why he quit and Matt Cameron has been around for 20 years.... Jack I rons played like Charlie Watts of the stones....

[@2fishertv87]

Thank you Matt Cameron sucks with PJ need to bring Dave A back

[@chadbutros3935]

@@markmclawhorn9592 HIs whole drum set sounded like a trash can. And his snare sounded like paper. He was awful, but still better than Cameron.

[@Tiberius_Productions]

I liken Matt Cameron’s style of playing to that of Neil Peart, where a Abbruzzese is more like Bonham. Matt tries more to come up with compositional parts for the songs, adding fills and keeping the beat relatively simple, and this makes his playing sound much stiffer, like Neil Peart’s playing. But Abbruzzese focused more on coming up with unique rhythmic variations on the beat itself, much like Bonham would do on a song like Out On The Tiles. Obviously neither Cameron nor Abbruzzese are as good as Peart or Bonham in my opinion, but their styles seem to steer more into the direction of those drummers, and that’s what makes their feel so radically different. It’s a matter of preference not really skill, though consensus would agree that Dave sounds better playing the classics than Matt. And that’s down to the magic of good ole fashioned groove lol.

[@vizionblind]

Matt Cameron's drumming style is so bland compared to Dave Abruzee

[@BDizDaBest]

Why does Matt insist on playing so fast and completely killing the damn groove every time? Jesus Christ. So frustrating, especially for a drummer as talented as he is who should know better.

[@glauberfiammetticardoso2028]

Please Pearl Jam, stop playing this song, matt cant do this.

[@chadbutros3935]

Cameron's beat is stiff as always and drum fills are misplaced standard stock crap. How does anyone think he sounds good? Maybe you have to be a drummer to pinpoint what sounds off, but to me it's blatantly obvious. Hearing him play on classic PJ songs is like nails on a chalkboard. RIP Pearl Jam 1991-1994
