Matt Cameron is amazing for sure! There's so much nuance and constant movement, not to mention the odd time stuff! As you said, especially with Soundgarden.
Great interview Rick ,and as everyone else here already knows ,Matt is one of the most musical and beautiful players of all time ,such great dynamics and control , always plays the songs so beautifully .😂😂
I used to play Fresh Tendrils on the Jukebox at my fav bar in college. Nobody knew the song and I was the only one rocking out !!! I happen to be a keyboardist too, so having the Clavi on this one was just icing on the cake.
@@MrScrofulous oh I can’t say enough about Limo Wreck, but IIRC Fresh Tendrils was something Matt brought to Chris, and Limo Wreck was Chris’ entirely. No?
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.
I love Matt Cameron. When he's talking about playing every beat with intention, I think about "Burden in my hand" and what an absolutely perfect example of drumming that is, fits the song so exactly, no more no less.
One of the best drummers of all time. A amazing song love Soundgarden and was able to show Chris my tattoo of ultra mega ok during a concert being front row. He was a hero to me. What a voice he had. I was crushed like every one else. God bless Matt keep up your amazing playing n time signatures.
Matt is the first drummer to challenge me because he has such tasteful and unique style. It was a real education trying to play like him. I think only he actually can play like him. That's a true artist. He truly brought class to grunge scene.
Legitimately my favourite rock drummer of all time. And it probably sounds crazy, but I'm pretty sure that opening fill to Fell On Black Days is an all-time banger. It's so simple but it hits like a freight train.
Soundgarden fan since the early 90s. Matt Cameron is one of my three all-time favorite drummers. He has always been so damn original. Glad to see he's doing well. I probably listened to the Temple of the Dog album hundreds, maybe even thousands of times throughout the years. Greetings from Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Greetings back from the Netherlands. Random person on the internet here, and also SG fan since early 90s - but curious what the other two favorite drummers are?
Matt Cameron and Jimmy Chamberlin are the best drummers from that era and two of the best Rock drummers to ever do it. If you could get Jimmy to do an interview that would be amazing
When i saw Soundgarden both times man what a great drummer for the style of music the skill set he brings its so good with his creativity. I appreciate the interview.
Ahh the good ol days. I recorded this from CD to cassette tape and would listen to this while snowboarding in the early 90's. Such a good groove to shred to. I love All Night Thing too!
Matt is easily one of my favorate drummers, but he also writes some of the best (guitar) riffs/music in his bands. Would be great if you ever get the chance to talk to him about some of those as well :)
Great interview. Louder Than Love anecdote is terrific, and what an example that was of smashing out raw music without being weighed down by the wisdom of experience. Loved it.
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.
@@MrScrofulousI was able to score a few today to Missoula in August! This will be the 3rd time I've seen them in my home state of Montana, 4th time seeing them in total. Congrats on getting tickets!
Matt Cameron is definitely one of my influences. Love Matt's precise and original playing. Soundgarden stood out as musically the most tight of the Seattle bands (my opinion only). Thank you Matt for your contribution to the rock world, and thank you Rick for continuing to bring amazing and thought provoking content. I'm subscribed and you should be too if you're not.
Matt is an incredible drummer- low key fame but if you know then you know. Temple and Super Unknown are my favorite MC performances. My Savior and All Night Thing are inspiring performances alone… Just Like Suicide is another inspiring MC performance! So much respect for Matt! ✊🏻✊🏻
That was and is my drummer of choice for my eta of most appreciation and emotional association. I remember being maybe14 or 15 and mimicking everything of his on a homemade makeshift "kit". 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.
I can't believe how you always pick out my favorite tunes I always think nobody else loves. Like "Fortress around your heart", "head over heels", "Every little thing she does is magic" :-D
The question about the kick pedal is something I've been wondering about for a long time! I'm 46 and always always come back to the ready position. My brother way older than keeps the beater mashed and comes of the head...
This was great! Would love to have you talk to my friend Jim Macpherson from The Breeders, he’s a truly amazing drummer and his playing on the Breeders (and GBV) albums is fantastic. 🙌

Matt Cameron, the most stable haircut in rock drumming.
His skills are just as stable.
Nah, that'd be Mullen Jr. (Hair)
Also most stable drumming. Matt Cameron is a true badass. Love his drums. I really like his Soundgarden drumming. He goes all out therr
U2’s Larry Mullin Jr. has THE most stable haircut in rock drumming🎉
The art of creative inspiration through comments. Well done I say!
He is very musical and technical with his drumming. Especially with Soundgarden.
Matt Cameron is amazing for sure! There's so much nuance and constant movement, not to mention the odd time stuff! As you said, especially with Soundgarden.
He had some decent grooves on Geddy Lee's solo album, "My Favorite Headache".
@@peteywheatstraws4909 oh wow, have to check that out!
Great interview Rick ,and as everyone else here already knows ,Matt is one of the most musical and beautiful players of all time ,such great dynamics and control , always plays the songs so beautifully .😂😂
Fresh Tendrils is one of my all time favorite songs
Matt’s contribution to SG and music overall is huge
Have you heard his solo album, “Cavedweller”?
Don't forget Limo Wreck
@@WhyTheHorsefaceI’ve been digging his new EP Gory Scorch Cretins too
I used to play Fresh Tendrils on the Jukebox at my fav bar in college. Nobody knew the song and I was the only one rocking out !!! I happen to be a keyboardist too, so having the Clavi on this one was just icing on the cake.
@@MrScrofulous oh I can’t say enough about Limo Wreck, but IIRC Fresh Tendrils was something Matt brought to Chris, and Limo Wreck was Chris’ entirely. No?
Since the day it came out superunknown has been my favorite album of all time. And as a fellow drummer, Matt has been an enormous influence on me.
Love when you talk to drummers
My request is Danny Carey
Louder Than Love, is to me, one of the most important rock albums of all time. An under appreciated gem that signalled the dawning of a new age.
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.
Yes Ugly Truth also has that 6/4 groove.
Shit YES!!!!
would have been more fun if it had be approved to be called Louder than F*
The technique on Gun, is 🔥
Matt Cameron needs to be celebrated as one of the best drummers of the past 30+ years.
I love Matt Cameron. When he's talking about playing every beat with intention, I think about "Burden in my hand" and what an absolutely perfect example of drumming that is, fits the song so exactly, no more no less.
Temple of the dog…One of my favorite albums!!!
Love his brush groove on “All Night Thing” as well. Gives the song a subtle swing
One of the best drummers of all time. A amazing song love Soundgarden and was able to show Chris my tattoo of ultra mega ok during a concert being front row. He was a hero to me. What a voice he had. I was crushed like every one else. God bless Matt keep up your amazing playing n time signatures.
Hahahaha
Love that song and love Matt's drumming and love the fact he called Gadd the MASTER!!!!
Matt is the first drummer to challenge me because he has such tasteful and unique style. It was a real education trying to play like him. I think only he actually can play like him. That's a true artist. He truly brought class to grunge scene.
So much talent, so much style, and so original. Matt is the thinking man's drummer.
Legitimately my favourite rock drummer of all time. And it probably sounds crazy, but I'm pretty sure that opening fill to Fell On Black Days is an all-time banger. It's so simple but it hits like a freight train.
The open tone of those gorgeous drums is just so righteous!
Wooden Jesus my fav track on the Temple album. Saw it live not long before the great man passed
Matt’s in my top 3 all time best drummers. I understand he’s great to create and work with too.
I`m with you, his my no. 1 influence...
Soundgarden fan since the early 90s. Matt Cameron is one of my three all-time favorite drummers. He has always been so damn original. Glad to see he's doing well.

@@rogierd7408 Danny Carey and Dave Grohl.
@@DamnPictures Aenema is a masterpiece
Matt is one of my fav drummers of all time, Down On The Upside is such an understated drum album.
Always loved this guys playing. Would be great to have the drummer of Faith No More.
Mike “Puffy” Bordin. Agree! He has really interesting and different approach.
Matt's work on Geddy's My Favourite Headache is outstanding. Jeremy Taggart did a great job as well on Home of the Strange on that same album.
He’s a phenomenal drummer.
Always reliable, consistent, and just a damn, great drummer. 🤘🤘🤘
Always loved that album and especially that song
Matt Cameron and Jimmy Chamberlin are the best drummers from that era and two of the best Rock drummers to ever do it. If you could get Jimmy to do an interview that would be amazing
Don't forget Dan Peters from mudhoney
Agree 100%. Matt n Jimmy are two of my favorites

Ahh the good ol days. I recorded this from CD to cassette tape and would listen to this while snowboarding in the early 90's. Such a good groove to shred to. I love All Night Thing too!
Matt's one of the best drummers in the last 40yrs. His drums on Superunknown and Badmotorfinger is some of my fav drumming of all time
How interesting. And Cornell´s composition, especially the vocal melody, is just the work of a genius.
e baddest drum beats he ever came up with was 4th of July. That drum beat absolutely throttles me
Matt is easily one of my favorate drummers, but he also writes some of the best (guitar) riffs/music in his bands. Would be great if you ever get the chance to talk to him about some of those as well :)
Great interview. Louder Than Love anecdote is terrific, and what an example that was of smashing out raw music without being weighed down by the wisdom of experience. Loved it.
I think it's possible that Matt Cameron is the coolest dude on the planet.
Temple of the Dog easily the best side project for any group. Yes, better than Perfect Circle, Pusifer, Rainbow, Fight, etc
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.
Almost....Mad Season right there!
Pearl Jam is my fav. band of all time. Love Matt's work. Hoping to see him and Pearl Jam this August for my 4th time!
Got tix for Gold Coast in November today.
@@MrScrofulousI was able to score a few today to Missoula in August! This will be the 3rd time I've seen them in my home state of Montana, 4th time seeing them in total. Congrats on getting tickets!
amazing drummer.
not that amazing in PJ tho

I was watching and play the Fourth of July from 1995 earlier on RUclips. I couldn’t believe how reserved he was then I wish you’d wail more.
Wooden rims 🥁 Cool.
Really cool. I always loved Matt’s drum parts. He always serves the music really well in my opinion.
groove for Pretty Noose still gets me
Yeah so many great drum performances but that's right up there with his best
I’ve been trying to play that song on drums since it came out. 😂 Still not there.
I loved this. Matt has been in my Top 5 since 1990. Good questions Rick.
That was and is my drummer of choice for my eta of most appreciation and emotional association. I remember being maybe14 or 15 and mimicking everything of his on a homemade makeshift "kit".

i studied that groove my way through college. i still remember that groove (0:10)
As a Drummer(myself) it makes sense ! Great interview
Great grooves from Wooden Jesus to Limo Wreck.
Man I wish I could have conversations with Matt . Cool dude , great drummer .
This is priceless!.. Thank you, Rick and Matt. So great to hear the behind the scenes and get into Matt's head. 👌
Matt Cameron ❤
The beat he plays on Jesus Christ pose melted my sensibilities
Pushing forward back has some sick drumming in it !!!
Another level of bringing out so much information... love this.
consistency and intention 🤌
How does somebody write so many songs in so many different time signatures? Pretty amazing
Matt is not a drummer, he is a composer.
Exactly. Serving the song .
And a super creative one.
Not a bad singer either
Matt is a rock solid time keeper, love the foot work! Subscribed to RB1 & RB2!
Love that open tuning!
Well this song and " never the machine forever " great drums by Cameron and also the pacing is very peculiar and cool .
The question about the kick pedal is something I've been wondering about for a long time! I'm 46 and always always come back to the ready position. My brother way older than keeps the beater mashed and comes of the head...
Always loved that drum beat ... it's a tricky one at least by the sound of it.
Made me cry!
So good!
What’s with all the crying these days?
Matt makes 6 feel like 3 - very subtle stuff. One of the best.
Great stuff. Perplexed why it isn't better mixed considering the over all quality
Great line of questions Rick !
That’s one of my all time top songs …
Matt is freaking awesome
A brilliant drummer.
I enjoy the content. You are very lucky to get the superheroes that you do man. You do a great job interviewing .
Switch Opens... all of Down On The Upside.. epic awesome...his solo stuff is very cool too
Another fab interview!
Hahaha
This was great! Would love to have you talk to my friend Jim Macpherson from The Breeders, he’s a truly amazing drummer and his playing on the Breeders (and GBV) albums is fantastic. 🙌
Thank you Matt.
Would love to see Rick sit down with all the members of Pearl Jam individually and collectively 👍🏼
Always loved his tasteful playing. Badmotorfinger is a great example.
Badmotorfinger is some of the best drumming ever. Technique, sound, time, feel, it's all there.
First time I subd after being asked.
Rick is worth all my marketing attention
Interview Dave Abbruzzese next. What a great interview that would be 👍🏻
Mighty Matt ❤❤❤❤
Soundgarden was more than the sum of its parts, but Matt might be my favorite component.
I always liked to throw the cowbell part in too. It gets complicated that way though.
Absolute legend!!!
Badass groove
❤❤❤❤❤what a musician!!!
Now, can Rick do one of these but with Ben?
Agreed. Ben was the piece that took them from great to god like.
@@clayfoster8234 🤘🏻
Yes
A legend
Great interview.
I Love Drummers!!❤
Slaves and Bulldozers is underrated Matt Cameron. He has a lot of room to stretch on that and he plays these fills that are unique.
Love Matt Cameron! 👍
C'mmon man, there's a lot of huge drummers to talk
Very underrated, tasteful drummer 👍
What’s his rating?
What a career!
My biggest influence ❤❤
The only time I saw Matt play was when Soundgarden opened for Voivod in 1890, with Hiro on bass. They opened w/Gun.
Voivod in 1890 must have been a real trip
@@colinburroughs9871 Ye’Olde Voivod🙃
1890. Damn, they’ve been around since the Victorian era.
Matt must have the most reliable barber of the past 30+ years.
Bello/Magnifico.💪💪💪💪💪💪👑
