Drumming is the most athletic of all the music professions. Once your shoulder or knee gives out it's hard to have fun anymore. He's 62, probably feeling it a bit.

Damn, it's been that long..

He was their worst drummer and ruined their live sound in recent years

I think he's one of the best 90s guys.

Jack Irons was worse. Hated his rim shots and trash can sound all over their songs.
Dave Krusen was the best.

maybe he's just sick of playing boring/generic pearl jam rock songs.

Couldn't have been an easy transition dropping down the ladder, from Soundgarden, like that.

Sometimes, you have an epiphany and realize something is profound bullshit.

>derpa derpa boring and generic
even if it was amazing mind-blowing music, doing the same fuckin' songs for 30 years is gonna get old no matter who you are. like "guh ok I guess we're plaing this song again... 2! 3! 4!"

and as others have said, drumming takes a pretty big physical toll on you. The dude from Primus just went through the same thing.
