Pearl Jam’s former drummer isn’t happy about that Rock Hall snub
When the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame announced yesterday that grunge mainstay Pearl Jam was nominated for admission into its semi-august halls, the organization listed six people as potential inductees: Eddie Vedder, Mike McCready, Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard, and drummers Dave Krusen and Matt Cameron. (Krusen was the band’s original percussionist, while Cameron is a current member.) That list left off three former Pearl Jam members, all drummers. And while Jack Irons, who played on Yield and No Code, has already been inducted for his work as the founding drummer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers—and Matt Chamberlain was only with the band for a short while, back in in 1991—Dave Abbruzzese has expressed his ire at being left off the list.
