Talk:Matt Cameron

Untitled
My source for the paragraph which begins: "Cameron was born in San Diego..." and the paragraph which begins: "Despite a career in rock music..." is this interview CD: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000011SC/qid=1095484416/sr=1-15/ref=sr_1_15/104-3326182-0356701?v=glance&s=music My source for the paragraph which begins "In 1978..." is the book New Metal Crown (ISBN 0-312-13607-2) by Chris Nickson --Cormac Canales 05:16, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Opening paragraph
Does the Smashing Pumpkins info really belong in the opening paragraph when he only actually featured on one album track, while he drummed on four tracks on Eleven's Thunk? I think Soundgarden and Pearl Jam should get top billing as they are the bands he is most famous for - everything else covered further down.

Also was he really the "primary back-up vocalist" for Soundgarden? Was that not Ben Shepherd? Beve 07:14, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

That's right, Ben Shepherd did at least a large amount of the back-up vocals?

I deleted the part where someone suggested he played on the first Queens of the stone age EP, known as the gamma ray sessions. He only played one show with the band. Never in the studio. 17:51, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

I removed the sentence "Matt is pictured at his Ayotte kit at the beginning of this article." since someone changed the picture to him playing his Yamaha Birch Kit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Discostu24000 (talk • contribs) 21:00, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

And what does the D. stand for? Why isn't his middle name given? 125.236.180.164 (talk) 15:37, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Just that last sentence; he played on Pearl Jam's original demos, before they were even Pearl Jam. Maybe something "full circle" or "original drummer" would better encapsulate his relationship with the founding members? 125.238.14.163 (talk) 14:57, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

His relationship with Pearl Jam's origins is mentioned in the body of the article.-5- (talk) 17:08, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Was Temple of the Dog a supergroup?
The article currently says "Cameron was a member of supergroup Temple of the Dog". The supergroup page defines a supergroup as "a music group whose members are already successful as solo artists or as part of other groups or well known in other musical professions" (which seems sensible).

Soundgarden had only limited success at that time with Louder Than Love. Pearl Jam had yet released any albums when the Temple of the Dog album was released. As such, I don't agree that Temple of the Dog is a supergroup. In contrast, the related group Audioslave can legitimately be considered a supergroup.

I have removed the supergroup description. If there are reasons to put it back, please discuss here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wantnot (talk • contribs) 09:51, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Infobox photo change
I’m wondering, could the infobox photo be changed and put into another section of the page? There is a photo of Matt in 2018 later in the page but the bad part is that it doesn’t really show his face as well. I just want more recent pictures in the infobox that is all.
