Former Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron has denied reports that he's joining Pearl Jam on a full-time basis. Talking exclusively to Metal Hammer, Cameron says of the situation: "I stepped in to help out the band on their US tour last year when Jack Irons was taken ill and I will be involved to some extent on Pearl Jam's new studio album [recording is expected to start in April], but I've made it clear all along to everyone concerned that I'm not interested in joining the band permanently. I've got too much else happening to make such a commitment." One such thing is Cameron's appearance on a track on the upcoming debut solo album from his erstwhile Soundgarden bandmate Chris Cornell. "I'm on a song called The Disappearing One. For me, it wasn't at all strange working again with Chris. It may sound arrogant, but I genuinely believe that I'm the only drummer who has a real rapport with him. I've only done the one track, with Josh Freese [Guns N Roses, The Vandals] and Victor Indrizzo [Scott Weiland] doing the rest, but I've hard some of the album and it's very different from Soundgarden. There's still heavy stuff on it, but Chris has gone in a more singer-songwriter direction. He's out there!" Cameron's priority is the Wellwater Conspiracy, the post-psychedelic duo also featuring ex Monster Magnet member John McBain. they've just released their second album, Brotherhood of Electric: Operation Directive(s) on Timebomb Recordings. Full story on this band next issue. ************ Well, we've solved the third drummer question (if not the PJ drummer question!) - and Matt's comment that there is 'heavy stuff' on Chris' album should allay the fears of those who worried that Chris really wants to be Nick Drake ;-) When I get the next issue in my hot little hands I will of course type up the WWC story for you all.

This is the best news I have heard all day. I saw the new WWC album in my local HMV store, proving to me that WWC has finally become mainstream...so put that in your pipe Britney Spears, you got another thing coming.... And we just get one song on Chris' new album! The name really, The Disapeering One...and its gonna have some heavy stuff there! And WWC looks like there gonna tour! And if you live in Canada, stay tuned to Muchmusic for my Speakers Corner request...so I requested Rocket From The Crypt...phtt.. My life rules....course, I don't wanna get into that really on SOMMS. I have the feeling no one wants to know how good I'm doing now... Dave =====================---------------------================== http://come.to/rftcfp The Rocket From The Crypt Fun Page....

If so, we can almost be totally assured that it won't be played = live...unless Matt tours with Chris.=20 <'the disappearing one ....' maybe something haunting and soulful? I agree. It also sounds like it could be about his tendency(I know I = didn't spell that right) to be reclusive. Whatever it's about...I'm sure = it will be good. ~Liz:} ------------------------------ End of SOMMS Digest - 10 Mar 1999 to 12 Mar 1999 ************************************************
