Pearl Jam's former drummer hits out

Pearl Jam's former drummer David Abbruzzese has once again blasted the group for not including him in their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2017 nomination profile.
Abbruzzese played with the "Better Man" hitmakers from 1991 to 1994 until he was allegedly fired for disagreements with other band members, and he has blasted them for not taking a stand to support him, reported Contactmusic.
"Pearl Jam has always seemingly had a perceived level of integrity and has been known to stand their ground & fight the good fight, but it seems the allure of being given this trophy is just too important for them to take a stand," Abbruzzese wrote on Facebook.

"Maybe the Hall should reevaluate the need to put all the monkeys in the same cage in order to boost revenue, and instead let the history of the band be fully and completely represented as they were and as they are. ...Leave it up to the group to show their true colors as they celebrate their own history in a manner of their choosing.
He added, "I don't know. But whoever is ultimately responsible for the decision that deemed my work with Pearl Jam as an effort that was not important enough to grant me induction knows nothing of what we accomplished, and I am personally at a loss for words for how Stone, Mike, Jeff, Matt, Edward and Kelly Curtis are accepting of such an injustice.
