When I first went on tour with PJ in '98, I was still in shock having gone through the Soundgarden break up.

No matter how much success you're having, you can't continue working together if you can't communicate.

The fact that Eddie Vedder likes to play 3 hour plus shows a night, I have to be ready for that.

I always loose a little weight on the road, so I constantly have to be on top of my nutrition and hydration.

I've always liked to be the kind of drummer and musician who likes to go outside of what's expected of me.

Creatively, I thought we were still viable and could do more records. But our working relationship just wasn't happening at all, and our chemistry as people broke down because of that.

In my last band, Soundgarden, I had a couple of different drummers sit in on some stuff and it was fun for me to kind of take a break and watch the band.
