Was Dave A. pearl jam's best drummer? BTW here's my full blown story on Pearl Jam's Ticketmaster SAGA czcams.com/video/Hml5FHp5ouM/video.html
The guys in PJ seem like douches.
I think that Matt Cameron is the best drummer they've had, but he fits Soundgarden MUCH better! Jack Irons fit them the best! And Abbruzzese WAS WAAAAAY TOO BUSY for a band as eclectic as Pearl Jam. IMO, their WORST fit. You HAVE to slow down sometimes, Dave! Just imagine how much better Elderly Woman... would have sounded without SOOOOO MANY damn cymbals!?!
Dave A was the best. No contest.
@@victorb.1356 We must be listening to different drummers. Dave Abbruzzese doesn't hold a candle to Matt Cameron or Jack Irons.
@@user-sy5sy2np8r I realize it’s all subjective but read the comments on any video involving Dave A as the drummer. 98% agree he was the best. What’s sad to me is the megalomaniac in chief (Liddle Eddie), couldn’t stand for a drummer to take the spotlight at times.
Dave Abbruzzeze got the short end of it, no question; I read somewhere that another "reason" for his firing was that Vedder said Dave's kit had "too many cymbals" & looked "too rock" for the band's aesthetic. Not long after being let go Dave was on a radio show with Stan Lynch and other drummers and Neil Peart called. He said to Dave "I'm so happy to hear you got rid of your sidemen!" which made Dave's day, pretty great support from The Professor.
eddie vedder is the biggest rock n roll candyass that ever lived. tried too hard to be mr. liberal non offensive guy. what a bore.
Dave's playing definitely made pearl jams music more dynamic. Everything after always seemed so dry and robotic. Dave had a awesome groove .
they became a bore when they got rid of him@@frv1995
To hear that Neil took Dave's side in the firing really warms my heart. Pearl Jam is in my top 12 for favorite bands but Rush is in my top 3
That's great to hear Neil did that. Classy guy he was.
My favorite era of Pearl Jam was with Dave. Period!
I'm with you. And I was a huge fan up until Binaural.
To political. Don’t really listen to any of their stuff anymore.
@@324cmac VS after that its boring
Absolutely. Dave's beats was so captivating and mesmerizing and it made pearl what they are now. 😎 👍
@@yoshikigrg8 Kind of weird thing to say considering the band blew up with the release of Ten. That album is what made them. Dave isnt on it. Nothing against Dave, great drummer. Just a weird claim.
Not being inducted into the BS hall is the highest of RnR accolades. Congrats to him!
Agreed
Jack was in the band longer and he wasn’t inducted
I met Dave at a clinic in Colorado right before he was fired. Like one day before, I think. I was only 13. He had given me his number and we talked by phone and he was really bummed and sad to have been fired. He was such a cool guy to make time for a kid like me. Changed my life.
He gave his number to a 13 year old: D:D:D Jee whiz, thank God they got rid of him.... Go to therapy.
@@babayega1717 You come across like a steaming turd.
@@babayega1717I think what you’re insinuating is more Ed’s territory. Allegedly
Why would a grown man just give his number to a random 13 year old and start talking to him on the phone? I call BS
@@babayega1717 Calm down, this bs story never happened
I hear a lot of "he's too busy in his playing", but I love for one, love his little accents and fills. He and Sean Kinney have similar styles and I enjoy them both. No one played Porch quite like him.
He gave PJ a punk-ish energy that they really haven't had since.
Or Rearviewmirror!!🥁💚
The way he played Even Flow towers over how Dave Krusen, Jack Irons, and Matt Cameron all played it. So much more groove and really excellent work with the cymbals.
@@1mlb704 I agree
Yer So Right About That... And He Was Not "Busy" In an ego way..
but more for the Song - Dave Played Musically For The Song!
DAVE was the only one of them that understood that no matter how hard you try, if you’re a rockstar you’re a rockstar. Period. Trying not to be a rockstar when you are just makes you look like a douche bag.
Well said!! wish Eddie could see this!! He wanted to be “Fugazi” but still have the bank account and power / privilege of someone like “prince” 😂 .. love Eddie’s voice, and I’m glad for the tunes he’s enriched my life with, but seriously! Eddie is a douche!!
From the downbeat of “Go”, it was clear to me that Dave brought PJ up about 10 levels from Ten. He plays like his life depends on it.
This!
Sounds like a david Coverdale getting rid of JOHN SYKES!!!!!!!... JEALOUSY IS THE BEST FORM.OF FLATTERY....PERIOD...
Yes! When I heard that song for the first time I didn't even know that Pearl Jam's old drummer was gone and Dave had joined the band inbetween albums. When I heard that song I thought, "Pearl Jam's drummer got a lot better or something!"
@@burnindownthehouseno doubt! Watch his performance on mtv unplugged, he was just dialed in to what the songs needed.
So true. Vitalogy smacks you in the face in the first 2 seconds with Dave's drumming on Last Exit. Still one of my all time fave PJ tunes for that reason.
Dave has a fantastic groove. Listening to that MTV Unplugged special they did years ago, you can really hear how good he is.
I found he hit a little too hard in that unplugged.
Sooo good!! Love his cymbal playing..
Definitely Dave is the man and should be in Pearl Jam. I love Matt Cameron, but Dave was iconic for the band's early success.
Not even close lol
@07foxmulder he's right. PJ peak was with DA. And it's not close lol!
@@MT-sk1ln Lol okay
Matt Cameron is talented but he's always been a better fit in Soundgarden. Dave was my favorite drummer in Pearl Jam.
Dave is very accessible on social media and very nice guy. Still records. Has a signature snare drum.
The era with Dave Abbruzzese is kinda the only era that matters. It has not been the same band since he left. It's always that way. If you have the right drummer and you change it, unless you get really lucky, you're never going to re-create that same vibe. But after 'Vitalogy,' Pearl Jam openly stopped caring about trying to be great.
that’s it exactly. the band didn’t want to be popular anymore. they got rid of Dave and embraced songs that don’t make me feel anything.
let’s be honest. a lot of people would like to punch eddie in the face. i’ve never punched anyone in the face, but if i was the type…
Dave Abbruzzese and Nick Menza were two of my favorite drummers, and I was always a bit amazed they both faded away and never got picked up by other bands.
I know Dave did do a lot of stuff. And a lot of him not touring or joining other bands was his choice. He def got, and still gets calls.
This should tell you something.
Nick was in terrible shape from drug abuse...
I believe Nick Menza had been playing in Ohm not long before he passed - Ohm being Chris Poland's hard fusion trio.
@@Monotremata He died behind the kit during a show...
He was the best Pearl Jam drummer. They re-recorded Even Flow. Which is the radio version.
Where can I find this version?
I met him when he was touring on one of these records with the band (him and Eddie came into my work) and he was one of the nicest people we had come through the doors there. Really, really nice dude. I think the band kind of dicked him over
Eddie just could not forgive Dave for the crime of smiling.
I like Pearl Jam one of my fav bands but i don't like them as people. They are left wing nut jobs! Dave is a decent guy he must have been right wing
Joking aside, this is pretty much true. Dave Abbruzzese = the Jason Newstead of Pearl Jam.
Eddie is so insufferable.
What a real observation. Ironic that now Eddie having been married to a model for years is getting Botox and face peals. 😂 Lol.
@@mikepalmer2219 oh please
Best drummer they ever had
as much as I love soundgarden and Matt Cameron, it's with soundgarden. Abbruzzese gave their music energy and in my opinion is a key part missed
@@theolajide exactly
Disagree.
Hmmm, I think not. I don't dislike him, but nowhere near as good at Matt.
agree; he really woke up their songs its like when dave was playing you knew it was dave he was that good
Personally, I think that PJ was at their best when Dave was behind the kit. He's an absolute beast of a drummer. I had the pleasure of recording a cover of Mississippi Queen with him and not only is he an elite talent, he's also incredibly cool, down to earth and really upbeat/positive. I loved working with him.
Dave was the best. The only reason Vitalogy is listenable to me is because of him. That being said, Pearl Jam chose to go their own way. More power to them, but...
they farkd up when they got rid of dave he has feel and technical god like skills i'm a drummer of 30 years and dave is one of my biggest influences personally they haven't been the same since
PJ never recaptured the magic they had with Dave. Sometimes there’s just a chemistry in a band and it’s not replicable. Matt Cameron is a good drummer is his own right, crushed in Soundgarden, but anyone with a set of ears can hear he doesn’t hold a candle to the energy and approach to the music that Dave brought. Similar situation with Chad Channing and Nirvana, IMHO.
Agree. Matt is great. Very technical. Very precise and mathematical. Dave is soul and groove. Just raw rock. Like someone else noted, he plays like his life depends on it.
I really wish Abbruzzesse had recorded more material with Pearl Jam. I genuinely believe Pearl Jam's re-recorded version of "Even Flow" with Abbruzzese is superior to the original one with Krusen.
Without a doubt!
Unpopular opinion but I think they should have re-recorded the whole album. He turned great songs into masterpieces.
Where's the re-recorded version of "Even Flow" with Abbruzzese?
I still think Abbruzzese' recording of 'Alone' is still the best.
@@Warstub It's the one used in the music video.
@@bangslamwham88 cheers
It’s too bad. We all make mistakes in life with the way we treat people…and we all have people we hate for reasons that are petty and work related. It’s too bad for Dave because he seems like a great guy. An obvious clash of personalities, and one Ed probably wishes he could do over. That’s life, though. I love Pearl Jam and I love Dave, both so wonderful and creative. 😎
Dave was drummer for my first PJ show I saw in 91'. His playing is ingrained in me as 'The way it is' for PJ.
Back in college i was recruited by a cover band to play "Go" and "Animal". I remember "Go" was challenging to play but to this day is one of the most cathartic, intense songs i've ever played as a drummer (and i've been in some metal bands). The climax is so intense i remember our singer hitting my cymbals with his hands till they bled at one gig. Fell in love with those two songs and a few others like "Given to Fly", but not necessarily the rest of Pearl Jam's catalog which i explored later.
Point is, it's a real shame they excluded Dave at their RnRHoF induction.
Dave was the man....
Nothin makes me cringe more than rock stars whining about being rock stars. Like someone had them at gunpoint to sign those contracts
All the diff drummers are solid but Dave A’s energy is unparalleled
Abbruzzzzzzeeeeeee was the reason I stuck around for VS. and Vitology. OTOH, Matt Cameron is a great drummer, just not for Pearl Jam. He plays like he's bored.
Dave is hands down my favorite Pearl Jam drummer. And my favorite era of the band was with him.
He and Cameron are definitely the best drummers the band has had. Cameron didn't really join though, until their success began to wane a bit. And personally, song for song, I think VS is their best album. Tons of hits, yet still somehow underrated.
I agree, I would say VS is their best album hands down.
Vs is okay. But maybe that’s because it’s sandwiched between two actual masterpieces.
@@07foxmulderVitalogy is good. But it has too much wasted space. VS IS their best album!
Chamberlain blows away Cameron... At least from what i've seen such as the recording (video) of evenflow. Very similar to Dave A's playing.
VS. Was like the shining star emerging, and that's when the weird anti rock star, we don't want the attention started seeping in too. You saw it like a cancer creeping with vitalogy. Dave was the rock in that band imo. The rest of their stuff has good tracks, and riffs and what not, but it just started feeling really hippie art drenched in soy in a lot of ways. Never was as good as what was emerging with VS. Matt came in at a time that I think they really needed a pick me up and he has been that for PJ. Dave A. was the best for PJ though.
How does he not get elected into the Hall of Fame? He played on several albums.
Eddie and the band didn’t demand his induction. Just pure disrespect
@@TheNBSPerry They know everyone loves Dave A
Amazing awesome drummer.
He was "too aggressive" for little Eddie.
Also, from what I heard,the women loved Dave and this drove Eddie insane w jealousy.
@@TheNBSPerry no shit?? I had no idea how it works. So there's no weird rule on how many former members can get amongst it, , they simply chose not to acknowldege his contribution?
Nice work. What a drummer, Legendary Band. Excellent Journalism.
I was a huge Pearl Jam fan! Saw them for the first time on SNL. 😊
Never mind the too busy remarks, the man has serious chops
He IS TOO BUSY on any of their songs that aren't full speed ahead!! Except Indifference.
@@user-sy5sy2np8r ummm listening to nothing man, awesome brush work. He was too "technical" for them aka too good.
@@TXJ471 Ok. Good point. About Nothing Man I mean, I still think Jack Irons was a WAY BETTER fit for PJ.
What does "too busy" mean? Too many fills and changes to the beat going on? Or was he too busy drumming to take part in all of Pearl Jam's nauseating causes? His ego never got too big for the stage.
The biggest irony of all this is their tickets are now so fucking expensive😂
I wrote Dave a letter in Vs. days and he write back. Super cool!
Dave Abbruzzese was the best drummer Pearl Jam ever had. With him and because of him they became legends. He put the whole band on a level they never ever even came close again. In his era from '91 to '94 they had been so incredibly tight and on fire, Pearl Jam was the best live band at all. They still benefit from these days and Dave Abbruzzese was a main part of it. In '94, he was fired because Vedder can't stand the fact that the drummer got song credits and some attention. Vedder wanted to become the boss of the band, started to play guitar at every show and took all the last decisions. Over the years they lost all their tightness and brilliance. Today they sound like an average Pearl Jam coverband.
Totally agree... Speddie Vedder was a jealous prick.
Yes I agree. And the whole "he's too technical while we feel the music" excuse sounds like bs to me. Eddie should be smart enough to know a good band always has a good musician as a drummer. Dave was that and more. Excellent technically, which served to take their music to a higher level, and the best stage presence in live acts. In fact, after Vitalogy, I didn't followed PJ as I did compared to their first albums and drumming quality was probably one of the factors.
@@MrCroky123 Eddie is a liberal doushe.
I don’t think I can even name ONE song from anything that was recorded after Vitalogy. That’s how important Dave was.
@@kamest, same here. I guess that's really a thing for the oldest PJ fans. For me, all albums after Vitalogy, but Binaural, are underwhelming. Dave Abbruzzese was the heart of the band. Too bad all other PJ members don't recognize his importance ...
At the time I didn’t really follow all of the workings of a band, but I did notice that Pearl Jam’s albums had a very different vibe after Vitalogy. I still love them and listen to them, but the first 3 albums are my favorites
I think that Eddie was a pr1ck to Dave..
Absolutely the best Pearl Jam drummer. And one of the top drummers in the world during his peak
DAVE HANDS DOWN!!!!! =)
Dave Abbruzzese was to Pearl Jam; just as Phil Rudd was to ACDC! I've been playing drums almost 50 years saw PJ with Abbruzzesse at the San Diego Civic theater and I'm here to tell ya, lol he was a close to a perfect fit for the band, if not a perfect fit! What's interesting is Matt Cameron is prolly technically better, but not in Pearl Jam. Matt rules in Sound Garden and has done a A + job in Pearl Jam but again, you can replace Phil Rudd and you can replace Dave A lol but it will never never be the same. Peace
💯💪💯
💯💪💯
I agree, I think Matt Cameron on a technical level is a bit better than Dave. Matt really shined with Soundgarden, but his style I don't think fits Pearl Jam as well, Dave A's style fit it very well
Cameron is butchering the classics like Even Flow since almost 25 years. Too fast, no dynamics, nothing. He is a great drummer and a legend with Soundgarden, but he never was the right one for Pearl Jam. It's a fact that after Abbruzzese had to leave the band and Vedder started to play guitar at every show, they lost all their tightness and brilliance.
I believe the same about Matt. Great in every way but sucks in PJ.
Sometimes a bands magic is never recaptured due to losing members. The sum of the parts are often not valued enough. Dave was the best imo. PJ def had more of those early album vibes in them before they changed. I respect U2 so much for keeping it together because of this. A good thing is a good thing.
Hahahaha PJ without Dave A? What a joke. Can't believe how crap they have been all these years without him. No Code was a huge insane departure from that classic PJ sound. Hate it.
didnt we do this video on this channel already??
Basically the band did't want fame but Dave was ok with it. I loved the sound of Dave's kit and aggressiveness. The band in interviews said they wish they had handled the rise to fame differently. Good story for hardcore PJ fans
Yeah, it's Dave. Dave's energy, and explosiveness, is rivalled only by heavy hitters like John Bonham, and Dave Grohl. When you were at the show and he began to hit his skins you felt it right through you, and he drove the band fast and furious full of energy through their hard rock and punk songs. And during their ballads he could reel it all in and create beautiful percussion. Pearl Jam with Dave was a ferocious live monster rivalling Metallica in bombastic pure power and passion back in the day.
Dave was their best drummer. Drove the songs like a beast. Eddie is the king of uncatchy hooks and dull writing
I always thought PJ fired Dave because he was the only Republican in the band.
He basically wasn't a libtard like the rest of them
Eddie’s RHOF speech says it all; to him, he is the center of the known universe.
Dave was Pearl Jams best drummer. His performance at Boston’s Orpheum 1994 Live Show was one of the Best Shows wver put on by the Band and Dave was above any Drummer before or since putting on a display of Music Genius. As Matt Cameron is a incredible Drummer in His Own right He more so just fit into the Bands Narrative as a Band that can gel as Friends and Longevity without Egos. Not that Dave was egotistic but His Style and Presence was over powering and Eddie likely didnt approve of a Singular Band Member being “The Guy.” Abbruzzese Genius was all over VS Album and a lot of why the Album had such a long lasting effect on many Fans and why it was one of Their Better Albums!
"considered to be?" He WAS the band's best drummer, and one of the best over all 🤘
exactly he was reached out by none other than neil peart after he was fired..so that kind of says it all
@@safelyanonymous5717 I didn't know that! Awesome. Agreed, if Neil reaches out, checkmate! LOL
Dave killed it on those two albums! Pearl Jam has been lack luster ever since.
Back in the 90s I didnt really know much about the members of PJ, just EV. I noticed how much different(worse to me) they were after Vitalogy. As i got older and read about their history, I knew why.
Same here.
What a bunch of wusses “the guy in the back is getting too much attention” lol wtf?
He was my major inspiration for how my drums would be set up. Chinas, mini-chinas, multiple splashes and crashes!! I remember reading his ModernDrummer like a bible!!!!
Dave was the best drummer and force in @pearljam and how he was dismissed, after being an integral member of the band and helping them launch into the stratosphere, was complete disrespect.
He stood up to Eddie.
So Eddie had Stone fire him.
The only other drummer worth their salt was Jack Irons and once he left and met Cameron joined it became the Eddie Vedder show 150% has been since 1999
Dave, you were the best you are the best… And I miss you
Dave definitely was an integral part of that distinctive sound in the early days. All things point to personality clashes, not drumming. After all these years, the ‘busy’drumming style still sounds good but the vocals sound flat to me . And I used to LOVE pj when I was younger.
The best PJ drummer. They never were the same without him and there´s no Matt Cameron track that´s half as iconic as any track in VS. Vedder just didn´t like that Dave wouldn´t submit to him
Dave all the way.
Dave A, all the way! And he's literally the nicest guy in rock n roll. He's genuinely there for his fans. Super cool guy.
he plays a lot of Vs Pearl Jam songs drums solo on his YT channel.. it's pretty cool
Fun fact. Dr Tongue is a John Candy character from SCTV.
Eddie Vedder and his holier than thou attitude!
Ikr? His attitude is so ironic imho, since he's an atheist 🤣🤣🤣
100%
He is a great awesome drummer and was taking the spotlight away from little Eddie. Once he was gone P.J. were never the same.
$320 for nosebleeds to see Pearl Jam in 2024...... I'm team Dave
I saw Pearl Jam for $17.50 in 1993 still have the ticket stub.
The reporter chick “dave a-bruisey playing on Vite-ollogy”
Yeah, wtf? Weird chick.
He played on two of the three best and most important albums from them. There's no question he should have been inducted.
Dave dared to displease Lord Vedder. Eddie ruined Pearl Jam more and more every album.
Definitely made them a better sounding band. While I respect EV lyrics and voice the band to me has never matched the energy of those first 3 albums.
But Ten wasn't recorded with Dave...
Dave is the man. He's still at it and I've seen him comment on several videos. Personally I stopped listening to PJ after Dave left.
Please 🙏 do a video on the drummer Sara Lee Lucas and the guitar player Daisy Berkowitz Marilyn Manson the band Nada Surf
Dave was it, spent hours drumming to Vs. with headphones, even Ten but I played the parts Dave’s way.
🤘😎
Great stuff, my guy!
He was the original drummer when the Ten album took off on that wave from the northwest. Gotta go with the Original lineup!! With original members
Alice in chains
Nirvana
Pearl jam
Soundgarden
Stone Temple Pilots
Smashing pumpkins
Silverchair's Frogstomp
He was their third drummer. Krusen was the drummer on Ten.
Do your research!
@@07foxmulderKrusen may as well have not existed his drumming was completely bland, almost more so than MC.
@@TheNBSPerry lmao
Matt Cameron is one of my favorite drummers of all time. That being said, his style fit much better with Soundgarden than with Pearl Jam. Dave's a killer drummer and the band should've kept him on. But sometimes personalities overwhelm what we (the fans) think.
I loved Dave behind the kit for PJ , SNL 92 he slayed alive !
They made so many stupid decisions at the time they fired Dave, they threw the baby out with the bath water and forgot how to make good music in the process. Unforgivable that Dave’s not in the HOF. Finished by 96, bar a pair of singles.
I've been screaming this for decades... Dave Abbruzzese is far and away the best drummer for Pearl Jam. The band had such a distinct groove with Dave behind the kit, that none of the other big bands from Seattle had. Don't get me wrong, I love all of those bands, including the lesser known, more underground bands, many of whom are still pumping out records and touring present day. But I think PJ kind of took a back seat to some of those bands once Dave left. With him, they stand right next to Alice In Chains, and Soundgarden, to name but a few. I like No Code and Yield, the two records following his departure, but they pale in comparison to both Vs, and Vitalogy. I love Matt Cameron, and have always believed him to be one of the very best drummers of the past 30+ years, but in my mind, his style, and his song writing capabilities are best suited for a band like Soundgarden, not PJ. Just my opinion of course, but I will be singing Dave's praises until I hit the dirt.
DA was my favorite for his amazing snare sound, his great use of drags, rolls etc., use of hi-hats for accents/fills and just the general energy when he played with PJ. I love Soundgarden (probably even more than PJ to be honest) but when I heard Matt Cameron was gonna be PJ's drummer I had little interest. Cameron is a great drummer but the tuning/tone of his kit (especially the snare) never felt like a fit for PJ, imo. Dave Krusen and Abbruzzese had much more similar punchy/popping snare and drum sounds and that sort of defined Pearl Jam to me. It always felt like the band ditched Abbruzzese because he was too proud of his chops, which is the opposite of the punk/Neil Young persona PJ (especially Eddie) wanted. It always seemed so silly. Killer chops and slightly-flashy play can be awesome even for indie/alternative bands (which PJ was trying to be at the time). Just look at Jimmy Chamberlain's masterful work with Smashing Pumpkins. All that said I don't really know much of PJ's Irons/Cameron work because I had mostly moved on from PJ after Vitalogy.
One of the best drummers in rock.
Dave played on the first 3 albums that the ones worth listening to
If you ever watch live performances back then the camera always focused on Dave or Ed.. I have a feeling Ed didn’t like sharing the attention. The band has 3 good albums.. after that they turned into grumpy old men..
Watch Rearview Mirror on Saturday Night Live. Dave and bass player are locked in.
I’ve always thought Dave was a creative drummer. I do think he used his cymbals a bit too much at times (like in some of the unplugged songs) but that’s really my only dig at his playing.
It’s too bad that things went the way they did for him. I didn’t realize he had that trouble with the law. Anyway, he should be in the hall of fame. Some of the more played PJ songs on the radio were with him on the kit, for crying out loud.
Best PJ drummer 🥁, end of discussion.
Great drummer and best drummer PJ ever had..💙🥁
He's good. But IMO the worst drummer to play on a PJ album. While his full speed ahead approach was good for their faster songs and live shows; it IS WAAAAAY TOO BUSY for a band as eclectic as Pearl Jam! You HAVE to slow down sometimes, Dave! I mean, you DID IT on Indifference?!?
I doubt too many people think that..
I've seen them twice, once with Dave Abbruzzese and in 2010 with Matt...
Not even close to the same energy with Matt..
@@donnapatterson1420 I agree that Dave Abbruzzese's full speed ahead approach brought a lot of energy to their faster songs and live shows. But that's also my BIGGEST problem with him: the-man-just-could-not-STOP-playing-the-drums!!!
Chill out, Dave. Pearl Jam is a VERY eclectic band. You HAVE to slow down sometimes! He IS WAY TOO BUSY!!!
Plus, (and maybe it's just the production) IMO, their other drummers always bring a MUCH MORE FULL sound to PJ songs! (With the exception of WMA.)
@@user-sy5sy2np8r I love his heavy cymbal playing..
@@user-sy5sy2np8rpatently false on all levels 😂
It has been just Pearl after DA took the Jam with him
Pearl Jam is literally Spinal Tap when it comes to drummers
I would totally get along with Dave. I like the first couple of Pearl Jam albums, but never was a fan of Eddie Vedder.
Thanks for the video.
Great job
I Hope You Get The Chance , Dave !!!!
I really do!!!!!
Andy Wood should have never died. Then Mother Love Bone would have been making records. Eddie would have been working at a car wash in San Diego. End of story.
What's missing from this is that Eddie also pulled a power play on Stone. PJ was Stone's band. He wrote most of 10 and the hits on VS. Then they got huge and Eddie was out front, so he took over and pushed Stone aside and kicked Dave out. Eddie made and ruined Pearl Jam. Sad.
I TOTALLY supported the ticketmaster thing f--k ticketmaster!!! Dave is a great drummer, made great PJ songs. FACTS.
Dave AbruzzeZe was the best PJ Drummer for sure
Dave Abruzzesse had that Steven Adler type of swing and feel that is irreplaceable. Just compare the groove of Even Flow on unplugged to any live show post ‘94. Matt Cameron was great in Soundgarden but his drumming in Pj is far more robotic than Dave.
Back to the Steven Adler comparison, they were both replaced by technically “superior” drummers but the band lost their swing.
Dave was real. The other 3 got what they deserved.....they never really did that good again.
From the northeast…is a musician…likes fun stuff like guns (which probably means he likes other cool things like airplanes/cars/whatever).
Dave sounds like the type of dude with whom I would get along quite well 🧐
Dave fue y será el mejor por siempre
