Matt interview

lol matt hates being in pj

nothing new, really.

he talks about calling Stone to see if he'd like to put out a Wellwater album on his then-record label, and instead, Stone asks him, "hey man, what are you doing? want to go on tour in 3 weeks? jack quit." he was really worried about learning all the songs in such a short amount of time. i kind of wonder if he thought it was a temporary replacement role, or if he knew it would become a permanent gig.

the most excited he gets is when he's writing songs, which he hasn't done it as much as he likes to these days, and hopes to be able to in the near future. but it's taken a backseat to what he called "a performing gig", which led into the PJ segment.

the dynamic between Soundgarden and Pearl Jam:
"(deep breath).... ummmm. well it's different band dynamics just in general. you know how band dynamics are (laughs). they're multi-faceted; they're everything you can imagine in a family. but i think there's a lot of similarities in the sense of how we all play music together. I think maybe my role in soundgarden is a little more of a musical director role. where as in pearl jam, it's, uhhhh, more of a supportive in the rhythm section type of role. i think the collaboration i have with soundgarden is a little bigger in the creative realm."

the rest was all soundgarden and drumming talk

Geez, Matt.

Well I can see why he would think that.

Well I can see why he would think that. Does Matt really do anything on Pearl Jam's recent albums besides play the drums and get the fuck out? They aren't even using his songs anymore. I try to listen to everything Matt does but I have zero interest in recent Pearl Jam. It's like he's not even there in my mind.
