Prior to carving out his own legendary career as drummer of both Soundgarden and Pearl Jam, a teenage Matt Cameron played in a Kiss cover band. Unfortunately, paying musical tribute to his rock heroes led to a cease-and-desist letter from the iconic band itself.
Cameron and the rest of Pearl Jam were recent guests on The Howard Stern Show, promoting their new album, Dark Matter. During the visit, the drummer shared his Kiss story, which also involved meeting Paul Stanley.

“I was in a neighborhood Kiss cover band when I was 13/14, something like that,” began Cameron. “We played local high schools, keggers, what not. And my dad was friends with the head of the stagehand union in San Diego, so when Kiss was playing there … during the ‘Alive’ tour, that was ’75, we got to go see Kiss do a soundcheck at the San Diego Sports Arena.
