[12-01-97 Mon] Former Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron has confirmed he's working with the Smashing Pumpkins in the studio - but is reluctant to say that he's joining the band. Cameron not only confirmed that he'd be doing studio sessions starting this week with the Pumpkins but also said he was still continuing to work with The Wellwater Conspiracy, his current project.
Touring drummer Matt Walker (ex-Filter drummer) will play with the Smashing Pumpkins for the last time opening for the Rolling Stones in Miami on December 5. For more on Walker see the previous article on Walker's departure. Right now, the Pumpkins are starting a "kinder, gentler" follow-up to the extremely successful "Mellon Collie And The Infinte Sadness."
