It is weird that Dave seemed to go from "cover of drumming magazines" to being almost entirely off the radar. I'm surprised he hasn't done more drum clinics and things of that nature, you'd think he'd be a good fit for that kind of thing.
Is there any suggestion that Pearl Jam and/or their management poisoned the well for the guy in the industry? I remember quotes from Brad drummer Regan Hagar being convinced that had happened with the first Brad album, though who knows if that's not just a bit of sour grapes/paranoia.
yeah, one would have thought, especially in the mid/later 90s, that any band trying to ape the "Seattle" thing would have snagged "Pearl Jam's drummer" instantly.
i wonder if there was some sort of legal agreement? seems far-fetched and odd, but who knows. he didn't seem to be one that would have been ready to step away and not be in a big rock band anymore. but maybe he just thought he'd never reach that peak again, so why try?
Like VG said above, he rehearsed with Guns n Roses for a while (circa '97 I believe) in the endless "working on Chinese Democracy" years but I don't think it was ever a permanent thing.

didn't he dive into the Green Romance Orchestra thing pretty quickly? Which would make me think that he thought he could capitalize on his time in PJ by launching his own band. And then he probably just got sidetracked by...other stuff.

holy shit, good call. looked it up, and completely forgot that Stone had played drums in a band called Calm Down Juanita. there's not much about them online other than their wiki, but i believe i might have the cd at home. i recall liking a few songs on it. if i find it and if anyone is interested, i can rip it.

I don't remember a single song from that album, only that Stone played on a couple of them. I do know that I did NOT like Ty's vocal contributions to Stone's first solo record
well shit, i never heard of that calm down juanita album before, i'm intrigued! It doesn't seem to be available anywhere to buy so if you have that rip I shall be grateful for a copy please
So the tribute show is tomorrow...Matt is going to be there along with Taylor Hawkins, Perry Farrell, Gezze Butler and fucking Buzz Osborne...anyone know other guests?

CHRIS CORNELL: AN ARTIST’S LEGACY - CAREER-SPANNING ALBUM AND DELUXE BOX SET AVAILABLE NOVEMBER 16
14 November 2018 (Toronto, ON) - On Wednesday, January 16, 2019 Chris Cornell’s legacy and contribution to music history will be honoured with a star-studded concert event, I Am The Highway: A Tribute to Chris Cornell, at The Forum in Los Angeles. I Am The Highway: A Tribute to Chris Cornell will be an epic night of music, taking fans on an unforgettable journey through Chris’s legendary career and catalogue, with performances by members of Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple of the Dog, plus special performances by Foo Fighters, Metallica and Ryan Adams and more.
The show is presented by Chris’s family and closest friends, with Jimmy Kimmel hosting the special night.
“We are honoured to have all these amazing artists and friends come together to pay tribute to and show their love and appreciation for Chris, his music and the mark he’s left on the world. We look forward to sharing this night with all the fans,” said Vicky Cornell.
The host committee includes Vicky Cornell, Tom Morello, Matt Cameron, Brad Pitt, Josh and Kathryn Brolin, Jimmy Kimmel, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Courteney Cox, Kaley Cuoco, David Spade, John Carter Cash, Linda Ramone, Andrea & Paul Joseph, Cynthia Pett, Peter Berg, Sam and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Marc Gurvitz & Julianne Phillips, Ron Laffitte, Michael Rapino, Brent Smith and Lisa Engel, Michele Bernstein, Patrick Whitesell, Scott Sartiano, Michael Cooper, Nicholas Karayiannis, Eric Esrailian, and Paul and Renee Haas.
In keeping with Chris’s vision to protect the world’s most vulnerable children, the evening will benefit the Chris and Vicky Cornell Foundation (chrisandvickycornellfoundation.org/) as well as The Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation (www.ebmrf.org), a nonprofit dedicated to raising funds and awareness for this painful and debilitating genetic disorder, a very personal cause that Chris cared deeply about and supported through his commitment to helping others.
On November 16, fans can celebrate the recorded legacy of musical icon and singer/songwriter Chris Cornell with the 17-track self-titled album, Chris Cornell, and a 64-track limited-edition deluxe box set (11 of them unreleased). The first release since his passing in 2017, the album will be released by Cornell’s wife, Vicky Cornell on behalf of The Chris Cornell Estate through Ume/Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company.
Chris Cornell commemorates his life and legacy not only as a singer, but as a poet and one of the most prolific writers and greatest voices of the modern rock era. Vicky, worked extensively with Chris’s bandmates and friends to compile a collection of material from the late artist’s expansive career, showcasing his contribution to music history with selections culled from the deep catalogs of his three influential bands— Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog and Audioslave— as well as songs from his solo career. She turned to producer Brendan O’Brien, who was a trusted partner to Cornell over the years and Jeff Ament who created the packaging for Chris Cornell.
