      I agree with you, kind of, but I personally couldn't say the same for all of the songs, some of which definitely seemed experimental. However, songs like Ugly Truth and Loud Love are definitive arguments to the second part of your statement. Those songs still sound unlike anything we've heard before.

      Remember that temple of the dog was McCready and Vedder's first serious recordings. The others had recorded before. What a great first record. So sad that Chris couldn't be interviewed by Rick. I was lucky enough to see Chris's solo show, it was impressive. Loved how he had to play an even number of songs so I think that meant he did 4 temple songs.

And though i knew nothing of their actual scene, being in ohio, the temple of the dog album was a touchstone for me. Hundreds of hours tapping away to his rhythms. I say at my own kit; a pieces together Ludwig and Dixon hodge podge with an even broader cymbal selection....I say there with sticks on a third hand throne, closed my eyes and played the whole record through i one go. Matt was and the drummer pat excellance for this drmmer's lifetime.
