  • I like Matt Cameron better. It was kinda cymbal overkill at times.

  • .....i'm not a drummer but Dave has quite a way of putting it all together back there......his feel and sense of timiing was a tremendous component to PJ's sound......

  • Matt Cameron is a great person, even Jack.

    But Dave Abbruzzese expressed to me the best potential for Pearl Jam.

    How can 'be a drummer so' important for a band?

    Do you have any news about Led Zeppelin without John Bonham!??

  • This is one of the most incredible use of cymbals for fills i have ever seen. So solid and creative at the same time. It's not over the top and seems just right.

  • nobody would of guessed that 11 years after on the date this was filmed that Dimebag Darrell would be shot dead by an Insane Cunt

  • Dave was Pearl Jam's best live drummer, Jack Irons was their best studio drummer, and Matt Cameron is Soundgarden's best drummer :P

  • @Tigerpuffer Great post mate.. I loved Dave and Jack.. Matt is too polished for Pearl Jam and has turned them into a normal rock band.. Reason I loved PJ from the start cos there sound was so raw and Jack brought some fantastic rhythm to the band..

  • @needley: Agreed. Jack had a cool neo-psychedelic funk groove but sounded so at home in hard rock, and Dave just fucking destroyed. During the Binaural tour, Matt was the fuckin man, but for some reason he mellowed out after that. That's why they play so fast and light now.

  • solid drummer.

  • Comment removed

  • how charming, they just went out on the stage, dressed in simple clothes, but performed the best piece of modern music ever... Why don't we get that nowadays, where 'artists' like Lady Gaga try to make show with lots of fancy costumes whilst the 'music' she offers is just a piece of sh#t... and people get fooled around... Nobody cares for REAL MUSIC anymore... it's a sad impression I get when wathcing old rock videos

  • check out this newcomer band! deeptrip.ch

  • I agree with you guys, PLEASE DAVE, COME BACK TO PEARL JAM!

  • WHAT A DRUMMER !!! WE MISS HIM !

  • shit almost 20 years, time passes too quickly

  • and thr best is the ten tour

  • I was born 10 days later :P

  • How is is this song old? It's stupid when people say stuff like that. So is a person born in 1993 old also? No. So this song is still young.

  • 1993...where Dave Abbruzzese made PJ perfect

  • for example... hear this RVM, just copy and paste on youtube search engine e5N5y58k6U

  • I think I'm the only one here in favor of Cameron... Come on! this drums are to simple, haven't you heard RVM from any of the 2000's tour? Cameron is the man. The fills from Abruzzese were to basic... too much punk... Cameron has more jazz and soul on his fills...

  • besides the audience, dave A also kicked eddie, stone, jeff and mike's ass on this song! best cohesive pj lineup with ambruzzee on the kit, PERIOD! bring him back!

  • @templedown I'm sorry but i rather hear Eddie's voice than Dave's drum kit. Drummers don't make bands. Dave was very talented, but not the leader of the band. I think its reasonable to say Pearl Jam is all about making music and promoting the right message. Dave thought differently, he's more rock hard-party harder type guys. PJ wanted the rights members that shared similar ideals on life and politics. Daves been gone for awhile now, get over it and thank Cameron for hanging in there.

  • The way that Dave uses the cymbols in his drumming is extreemely creative. He truly played each song with melody on the drums. If that's even possible!?

    Getting rid of him was the greatest mistake this band ever made musically.

  • LMFAO @ "FreeAssRecords." The name just made me spit water out of my nose. And HELL YEAH! RVM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this not real pear jam.... But Dave are perfect drummer for pearl jam

  • matt cameron was one of the dislikes of this video. that pussy....

  • WoW the chemistry is Abbruzzese!!

  • I don't hate Cameron. But when you listen to Dave play... he makes Pearl Jam Perfect! ABRUZZESE IS A GENIUS!!!

  • Pearl jam were never the same after Dave left , Vs and Vitalogy are the best sounding Pearl Jam albums ever , that's because of Daves input and drumming technique.

    Matt Cameron sounds too polished and soft as shit compared to Dave..

    Vedder was a disgrace for sacking him...

  • @needley why did he sack him?

  • @needley its all in the hair, i agree with you

  • Listen to that, Sabian cymbals the best sounding cymbals ever.. Shame Matt dosent make the switch to Sabian.

  • Haha I'm glad most people are in consensus on Dave Abruzzese. Matt Cameron is a complete joke compared to Dave.

  • dave rules influenced me alot when i was 14.

  • awesome band and if I wasn't a year and 3 days old and living in seattle not the UK I would have so been to this gig, pearl jam rule! bring back grunge!

  • is almost like pearl jam settle with cameron and he is not even the perfect fit for them ...he does not take them over the line

    Abruzzese is a hard hitting drummer that loves them cymbals and was a perfect fit for pearl jam but ohh well

  • I love Abruzzese , he's talented Drummer .

    Abruzzese es mi favorito baterista de todos los tiempos.

  • ABRUZZESE!! THE best drummer in PJ....bar none!

  • I don't know much about music, but I'm a huge fan of PJ, and i've been listening then since a long time. Everyone who has done it too, knows that their sound has changed from the 2 first cds. So maybe Dave was the best drummer for PJ those years, but for the present era, Matt is great too.

    So lets enjoy them both!

  • cameron is a great drummer but has never sounded right for Pearl jam. Dave has always been their best drummer. Hard hitting, great technique and keeps it relatively simple. Songs like "rats" has a great groove but cameron butchers it. I watched them play "garden" and he butchered that as well, came straight in with the snare when its spose to be rimshots and when they all come in loud for the chorus there was no impact cos there was no dynamic going from quiet to loud. They could get krusen back

  • I love Dave , my handsome fat boy.

  • oh how I wish I could go back in time

  • Totally agree with the millions of you out there.... DAVE ABRUZZESE kicks Matt Cameron's boring ass. Pearl Jam fired Dave because he enjoyed himself.. what the fuck is that about ???? The reality is that Dave showed the band up for what they are and that's pretty average musicians. Technically speaking of course ; - ) They basically couldn't deliver at Dave's level. I'm a big PJ fan, but this is the reality folks. DAVE IS KING. An amazing talent. Hope he's still gettin some decent royalties

  • @LeHankster , I agree with you.

  • wow dave rocks!! he stole the show

  • @milliemom50 , Dave is an God.

  • Pearl Jam are fools for asking Dave to leave the band...Matt Cameron is a kick ass drummer for Soundgarden but, not right for Pearl Jam.

  • one of the best song from pearl jam

  • Cameron sucks....

  • A drummer that is able to play two different albums like Vs. and Vitalogy is the fucking best. Abruzzese, you are the fucking best..

  • A drummer that is able to play two different albums like Vs. and Vitalogy is the fucking best. Abruzzese, you are the fucking best.

  • if there's one thing I regret in my life its that I was too young to see pearl jam in their prime. though i am glad they're still around today...

  • @fiveyearwinterkiss how the fuck can you regret that? its not like you had any control over it or anything...

    "oh yeah i regret not being around for malcolm x's assassination"

  • The best drummer, indeed. Pearl Jam were perfect with Dave Abbruzzese on drums, and that's why Vs and Vitalogy are their best albums. But this is my IDEA.

  • woww what a drummer

  • speechless. Had to watch it again.

  • No disrespect to Matt or Dave or anyone in PJ but with Matt maybe on a "summer holiday" tour with Soundgarden, wouldn't it be great if the band went out and played a couple of shows (say for some benefit - I'm sure there's a good cause out there that could use some extra support) and they brought in Dave to sit in for those shows. It wouldn't have t be anything serious, just a jamming with old friends and sharing good music with the fans.

  • Awesome!!!! Viva Dave Abbruzzese!!!!

  • ok so just saying Dave got fired. Pearl Jam might not even be toghether if they didnt fire him. So yeah. Im so tired of everyone always being all Matt Cameron sucks and all that crap! i bet you guys couldnt play better than Matt Cameron! so just think about that.

  • DAVE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pearl jam sucked the moment they lost him cameron is godd for sound garden not pj i agree he ruins every song, they songs are made for a lot of fills only dave can do and me , bu ive been practicing for 12 years been my fav drummer for years

  • I agree and Dave used proper cymbals, Sabian cymbals. Not that zildjian shit like Matt uses. I don't see why I still see more rock and metal drummers use zildjian cymbals luck the sound needed for rock and metal music, unlike Sabian.

    Sabian drummers rule!

  • @TrainBuffProductions hell yeah sabian sways when he hits them, i never seen cymbals do that

  • @TrainBuffProductions right here man. zildjian blows

  • Great drummer

  • Dave is KILLING that snare!

  • Holy crap killer drumming man def better meter than Cameron!!

  • lol its a day after my birthday.. iwas only 5 back then

  • @AsurorusA dave rules

  • that Chick can Pound the skins.

    Fucking A!

  • yup.  I like Dave better

  • killer job by dave...

  • miss you dave

  • The sound on the drums Cameron is perfect for Soundgarden but not for Pearl Jam.

    Dave is the perfect drummer for Pearl Jam

    I really miss the sound on the drums,please come back Abruzzese.

  • that´s what I say for more than 10 years

  • @PearlVedder

    I'm totally agree with you. i also really miss his way of playing, with more feeling and weird rythms

  • @PearlVedder DAve ABBRUZEESE makes the songs better the right way any idiot wouldnt understand like pearl jam

  • @PearlVedder yeaaaaaaaaaaah man¡¡ at last somebody thinks the same me,i'm a spanish drummer ¡¡

    matt is a great great drummer but ....dave on perl jam is better for parl jam drums¡¡¡

  • @PearlVedder crap. Cameron is perfect for pearl jam now, Jack Irons was also bad ass. This dude here lacks the soul the other two have, that's why he's no longer anywhere to be heard of.

  • @PearlVedder

    When Abbruzzese played for Pearl Jam, not only was the band powerful, but it was also funky. Even Dave Krusen and Jack Irons had that, and so did drummers like Sean Kinney, Mike Bordin and Eric Kretz. Matt Cameron doesn't have a funky bone in his body. So now Pearl Jam is this plodding, very ordinary rock band. If something like "Spoonman" were played by Abbruzzese, it would have been 10 times funkier.

  • @PearlVedder YOU ARE SO RIGHT!! Cameron is great for Garden, but he's like a brickmason for Pearl! Not fluid at all!

  • @PearlVedder i agree

    

  • Comment removed

  • @cystfan Call someone else a moron, and then make a statement like that - classic.

  • It sux he had to leave before touring with Vitology.

  • Comment removed

  • Dave was very good, energic, criative, sensitive drummer.

    Cameron was a good drummer in Soungarden, techincal and criative performative, but in PJ he is not very good. I dont now it.

  • The more I hear Abbruzzese the more I hate Cameron.

  • Do you actually know ANYTHING about drumming? A comment like this makes me think not!

  • I really don't get why is it that people think Cameron is a genious, seriously.

    What is it??

  • No not a genius, just a better "band-player"....plays for the song...

  • @RafaHidalg0 then you're a fucking donut!!  cameron is, like dave, a grunge legend on drums. different styles. cameron is more suited to later pearl jam material - the band evolved. i do agree that abbruzzese plays with more passion and this is suited to the first two albums. cameron is more steady and calculated - more suited to the recent PJ. whatever...if you're a PJ fan, you can't go round saying you hate cameron. peace

  • @shintzplintz sorry to enter this fight... its just that enjoy dave is enjoying a different era. its to bring all this thing that PJ once ment. its impossible to listen to dave, and not compare, the era, and the energy. I belive cameron is a great player. he is a legend, but his drumming for the PJ is too pop and boring. even the PJ nowdays would sound better, with there were this passion and soul giving that dave once had.

  • @luiscurtolo @luiscurtolo papá, si el tipo toca con mas pasion x q no esta tocando, cuando el solo queria tener un estilo de rockstar cosa q la banda odia, aparte q es republicano otra cosa q la banda no soporta, no tenia buena comunicacion con ninguno de los integrantes; si sabes la historia de x q Eddie escribio la cancion ''Glorified G'' del album Vs sabras q el no encajaba, el es buen baterista pero sino hace quimica con la filosofia del grupo es como si fuera un aprendiz tocando las maracas

  • @GUARIKAKANAY ill try my spanish. si yo concordo con ust. pero no miro eso con sus ojos. es verdad la historia de glorified g, dave ha trazido consigo 2 armas de fuego, y concordo q su postura no es la perfecta con la banda. pero yo tengo q no concordar con ust porque dave tenia un buene relacionamiento con mike y jeff, el major problemo era con Ed. yo no pude conpreender la parte que hablas sobre la pasion. its just undoubtable his passion for the music and that band.

  • @shintzplintz nad its not that i hate him too, but i hate the fact that its him there and not dave or a more trashy drummer, even for 2days PJ... take care.

  • @luiscurtolo ademas no me lo imagino tocando ''wolrldwide suicide'' y creo q ya me entiendes x q lo digo

  • @GUARIKAKANAY pero es lo q es. el no se "fit" con los principios de la banda, especialmiente por ser un republicano texano (eso es pesado), pero por la musica, por todo el momiento, pasion, energia y alegria q el trasmitia al publico, yo penso q deberias ter ocorido una conversa con el. enough. eds atitude was coward. he sent stone to fire dave. without a chat. i just belive that for sake of thier energy he had to stay.

  • @GUARIKAKANAY and just to ilustrate another known episode, when daves cover on moderndrummer magazine was released, ed made mustachs and screw the cover in front of him. rude. but understandable as ed never allowed magazines to put only his photo on covers. had to be all the band or none. and comeon, even krusen would be a better fit on PJ, when they decided to fire dave. cameron makes PJ sound weak and pop. boring.

  • @luiscurtolo y solamiente una cosa mas. YO CREO EN MILAGRES (no religiosos, pero musicales. HAHAHAH. adios y gracias por la oportunidad de hablar espanol

  • @luiscurtolo I appreciate your effort with the Spanish, nice try friend, well I didn't take credits to dave but is it that Cameron has been technically with the band since the beginning and before Kruse, and Dave never he won the confidence of the band as well as Cameron, the rhythm on drums of''alive''flow''events''and''­Once''were contributions from cameron and Kruse only added part of his style and you can hear it in the first demos

  • @luiscurtolo by the way, don't stop practicing Spanish, well done dude!!!

  • @GUARIKAKANAY haha tnx... i heard about the cameron presence before, but didnt know was that present, but i still prefer dave passion joy energy and stuff... cameron is a great dummer, as a drummer i have to admit, but, having the contacts with pj bootlegs shown me a drum creativity that i never seen on that era. cheers. (btw i had spanish classes at 6thgrade, long time ago, not thay bad at all)

  • @luiscurtolo youtube.com/watch?v=9D8KZ5sfUc­E&feature=related

  • @RafaHidalg0 bueno Rafa el problema e que Cameron se ajusta perfectamente a la politica de la banda, y tecnicamente ha estado en la banda desde sus inicios y eso pesa mas que el talento que el tenga, Dave jamas encajó con el estilo de vida y lo que ellos querian proyectar y x eso lo hecharon, es duro pero el tipo no volvera a menos q ocurra un milagro

  • @GUARIKAKANAY si...eso seria como meter el baterista de the kinks en los rolling stones...muy raro

  • @theachtungtree mas o menos, pero el tipo es super bueno, como decimos los dominicanos ''el tipo es un montro tocando'' pero a la verdad ellos tenian q saberlo sobre llevar a el, aunque solo ellos saben la version original de x q lo sacaron

  • @GUARIKAKANAY mi candidato es Jack Irons porq es una mezcla de esos tres mas los pequeños ritmos tipo wold music y beats freaks que agregaba y el otro seria Krusen q es TREMENDO y ademas no eran republicano o poser...porq (como diriamos los venezolanos) eran cosas que le sacaban la piedra a eddie, jeje. No se que le paso a Cameron, la verdad si vistes eso shows de Showbox con Soundgarrden y su otro proyecto recientemente...la verdad el tipo es buensimo y aca en PJ no se desempeña como ellos

  • @theachtungtree estoy totalmente de acuerdo con respecto a Jack Irons, de hecho se puede decir q el fue el q salvo la banda antes q se desmoronara ante los conflictos internos de 1994-95, le dio un apoyo moral tremendo, cosa q tales problemas se reflejaron en Mike con el abuso de las drogas y al unirse a Lane Stanley en Mad seasson y tambien en Jeff al estar en un proyecto paralelo llamado ''Tree Fish'', de hecho en la historia de comoellos grabaron ''No Code'' cuenta parte de eso

  • @luiscurtolo papá, si el tipo toca con mas pasion x q no esta tocando, cuando el solo queria tener un estilo de rockstar cosa q la banda odia, aparte q es republicano otra cosa q la banda no soporta, no tenia buena comunicacion con ninguno de los integrantes; si sabes la historia de x q Eddie escribio la cancion ''Glorified G'' del album Vs sabras q el tipo no encajaba, el es buen baterista pero sino hace quimica con la filosofia del grupo es como si fuera un aprendiz tocando las maracas

  • @RafaHidalg0 the more i remember Jack's unique beats the more i hate both of those posers

  • @RafaHidalg0 dude. me to.

  • whats a eddie? Simple only rock essenci soul ROCK!!! SAUDADE

  • Drums sounds really fuckin' good! ;)

  • I don´t like Cameron´s out of tune kit.... wanna back Dave´s kit, dave´s fills, dave´s sound

  • You're another person who know's absolutely nothing about drums.

  • man, I´m a jazz drummer and teacher,

  • and probably not a very good one....

  • chedk out video with my band before you talk

    I can´t see any your play

  • and what you know about drummin´

  • Yeah Dave!

    I miss him . . .

  • What is Dave doing right now?

  • Dave's god.

    That's all I have to say.

    Thanks!

  • ...everyone agree that "edktm69" doesn't know what he's talking about?

    PJ is the "baddest" touring rock band ever. They have it all; integrity, fans, good music, money.

  • Pearl Jam sucks because Dave's not in it...? With songs like Do the Evolution, In My Tree, Brain of J., Corduroy, I Got I.D., Light Years, In Hiding, WorldWide Suicide,  Tremor Christ, only a complete idiot would agree they "suck" cuz Dave left...

  • miss you gave

  • Gotta admit it, I really miss Dave Abbruzzese's drumming.

  • hells yeah

  • they really miss daves groove, they havent sounded the same since

  • Did Eddie get rid of Dave because he got more attention from the audiance than him? Sick of being upstaged?

    Pearl Jam turned into a Neil Young tribute band after Dave got kicked out :(

    THEY SUCK ASS NOW!!

  • He got kicked out because he disagreed with Pearl Jams political views.

  • What happened to freedom of speech? and individuality? It's more likely my theory, he was bigger then Fuck face Vedder!! HE COULD NOT BE CONTROLLED LIKE A SHEEP!! AKA the rest of the band!!

    THEY SUCK BAD NOW, they had to re-release "TEN" to make some more cash cause they suck so bad now!! LOOSER

  • I know, but they are a band, if someone disagrees with them, it creates a negative energy between the entire band, I agree he was there best drummer and it sucks, but if he was just slowing down the rest of the band while theyre trying to move forward, they had to let him go. If they didnt, the band would have most likely have broken up.

  • it would be a mad lol if dave face fucked vedder

  • hey dave, why "edktm69"??? Nice vid, by the way...

  • With most artists they have already been paid when they sign their contracts. They don't get paid again until they tour or sign a new contract with another label, which Pearl Jam did with J Records instead of resigning w/ Sony/Epic. The rerelease of remixed Ten would not have been for money in that way, but maybe to have versions of those songs owned by J records rather than Sony.

  • Nice comment edktm69!!! lol

  • Thanks, they were great until Dave got kicked out.

  • They are still really fucking good. They have evolved their style but it is still Pearl Jam, and still the best out there.

  • I can't agree, it all just sounds the same now, they lost me after "last kiss" came out. He is a great vocalist but it dosen't do it for me anymore.

  • good drummer, best song!

  • dave really put alot of emphasis on the melody...especially in the bridge of this song....the difference between him and matt is that dave grooves more with Ament...where as matt is much more heavy rock...like soundgarden. this songs amazing

  • I love 2:38 where the camera cuts out... how far camcorder tech. has come.

    Great song as well!

  • I am interested to know whether Mr. Free Association Records has given up smoking. How do you drum, smoke, and breathe all at the same time? Them is lungs, baby.

  • Fricken AWESOME!!! One of my ALL time Fave Songs!!! You're AWESOME Dave!!! Keep posting these Vids...I LOVE em!!!

  • congrats....you are the best...

  • You re The Drummer man, really

  • Unique perspective! Thanks Dave!

  • Comment removed

  • Dave was amazing when playing with PJ .

    One of the best drummers I've seen/heard.... Still a huge inspiration to me for drum practice :)

  • Thanks Dave! It helps me see how I'm supposed to play it. :)

  • Jimmy needed to move that plant! Otherwise great video. Dave, should we expect any surprise tracks when they get around to remastering VS? Thanks again for the awesome videos

  • Thanks for these vids. Really great to see / hear these.

  • Come Back !!!!

  • this is f***** great !!!

  • Very, very cool!!!
