Matt Cameron tidak bersama Soundgarden di 2014
Merangkap di dua kelompok raksasa Grunge dunia ternyata bikin pusing Matt Cameron, drummer SOUNDGARDEN dan PEARL JAM.
Di dalam suratnya di website resmi Soundgarden, Matt Cameron menulis bahwa dia tidak akan duduk di kursi drum Soundgarden di semua event sepanjang tahun 2014.
Matt mengatakan bahwa dia terikat komitmen dengan Pearl Jam yang sedang mempromosikan album terakhirnya Lightning Bolt. Tetapi dia berjanji akan membantu mencari drummer pengganti yang cocok dengan personil Soundgarden lainnya: Chris Cornell (vocals, guitar), Ben Shepherd (bass) dan Kim Thayil (guitar).
SOUNDGARDEN direncanakan akan hadir di Festival Lollapalooza di Chili, Argentina dan Brazil pada musim semi 2014, serta tur di beberapa kota di Jerman di Juni 2014 bersama kelompok legendaris BLACK SABBATH.
Berikut surat Matt di website Soundgardenworld.com
Hello Knights of the Soundtable faithful,
I will be taking 2014 off from Soundgarden touring due to prior commitments promoting “Lightning Bolt” with my brothers in Pearl Jam and the desire to have more time at home with my family. I am trying to balance the many twists and turns of my awesome music career. This is temporary. I am still an active member of Soundgarden. Chris, Ben, Kim and I are in the process of finding the perfect substitute for the upcoming Soundgarden dates in 2014.
Thank you all for listening and the Years of Support!
Loudest of Love.
Matt Cameron
Memang susah ya Matt, jadi drummer sekaligus di dua grup ? Grupnya bukan cilet-cilet pula 🙂
