Top Five Matt Cameron Moments

  1. “Jesus Christ Pose”. The entire song.
  2. His “machine gun” fill during the last verse of “Rockin’ in the Free World” on the Pearl Jam Touring Band 2000 DVD (see also: Boston MA, 9/29/04).
  3. The Matt Cameron Face. An omnipresent moment where Cameron is concerned.
  4. The intro to “Wooden Jesus” on the Temple of the Dog album.
  5. His work on the Soundgarden song “Like Suicide”. Deft, subtle fills dovetail into heavy, skull-crushing beats to bring the song home–the ultimate embodiment of Cameron’s contribution to drumming lore.

There. At least you can’t accuse me of not being a dork anymore.
