    that's just like....your opinion....mannnn

    i'm guessing you can't play any instruments....if you could, you'd probably realize why stone would be bored by this one.

    I can play guitar some. I like playing Gone. It's a helluva lot more intricate than Betterman or Corduroy or Not For You or some of the other Ed songs. Complicated isn't always "better." And the lyrics make any Pearl Jam song.

    It's a good song.

    You don't have to like it. But you're wrong. ;)

    Some of my favorite songs are Ed's songs, but I really think the band is best when Stone takes the lead while collaborating with Jeff, Mike, and of course Eddie. That's what led to most of the first two albums. I considered Vitalogy to be the closest thing we would get to Eddie Vedder's solo album for many years so we'll skip that one. There are still stand out tracks on the rest of the PJ catalogue that come from Stoney. In Hiding, All Those Yesterdays, Of The Girl, In My Tree, Fatal, and I'm pretty sure Life Wasted and Comatose.

    In my opinion, Stone's absence as a song writer on Riot Act is that albums biggest flaw.

    Maybe Dirty Frank returned... we know they've been using a stand-in for Mike since Dirty Frank ate him... maybe he got out of the big house, drove his bus to Seattle, and ate Stone too? I'm sure Frank could whip something up - he IS a gourmet cook, after all.
    And I listen for the voice inside my head... nothing. I'll do this one myself.

    You know what I just found out, not that it's a huge deal but.... I read an interview where Jeff said he didn't even play on the recorded studio versions of 'No Way' and 'Do the Evolution'.

    My question is.., Why not? Where was he? Who recorded the bass parts on those songs? I know that nobody here can answer that but it's still interesting nonetheless.

    I agree with the original poster. Good observation. Also, during the performance of Rocking in the Free World at Conan, an obvious nod to STONE CARPENTER GOSSARD was shown by Mike during the song. Just watch the video, it's all there. Right before Ed sings "there's a girl in the night", check out the move McCready does. It was the vintage signature Paul Staley move from KISS, which just happened to be STONE CARPENTER GOSSARD's favorite band. Tell tale sign if I've ever seen one. Plus there's other things too, but I won't get into that now,,, Boom's the walrus.

    remember reading that interview that said the band wrote most of the new album without ed and only brought him in later to do lyrics.....i think that has a lot to do with it.
    So you think Stone's just more excited about it? Is this going to be a Stone album?

    i mean...he's stone fucking gossard. he deserves better than to be playing the same chords as ed (only on an acoustic) lower in the mix than ed. i don't know if its going to be a "stone" album (though i hope it is) but i think his creative output on this one will be larger than it was on the past 3 records. i love stone, by far my favorite member of this band.

    Oh I Sooooooooooooooooooooooo agree with you!!! I LOVE Stone!! :mrgreen:

    I have a 50 dollar bet with a guy at work that that wasn't Stone. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks maybe it wasn't.

    I guess I always considered that another Ed song. But you're right, Stone did help. My point was more about Stone taking the reins so to speak; leading the collaborative effort. That's when PJ is at its best in my opinion. Of course, I still want Eddie to take his time and write all of the lyrics himself.
