IS Stone trying to tell us something?

I was listening to Stone's new single "I need something different". The song is so fresh and just sounds so much better than anything i heard lately from the band. It is raw,real and just grooves real well.
Do you think he is trying to tell the band that he is so fucking bored with their formula? I wanna do something new?
He did seem bored with it all in an interview. He basically shrugged his shoulders and said the concerts have basically become sing alongs to every song.

Nobody in their right mind would quit a job like that.
I'd be all for that.
If they had a no singalong tour, I would make it a point to go to as many of those shows as I could.
They have a big catalog.
I thought it was boring and uninspired, but you may be right about him getting bored with PJ.

Exactly

The Ed/Stone on stage disagreements are happening more often than not.
Jeff kinda does his own thing know matter what ( love him for it).
Good point.
Voice? I don't think so. But his lyrics are what made him who he is.I say Carry on Stone.
your not a fan....please...worst song in music history....ur an idiot.
how can somebody say this? does that mean that Pearl Jam's Ole and Stone Gossard's I need something different are worst than anything released by Creed or Nickelback? What does History of Music comprehend? Do we take into account Brahms? And Caetano Veloso? What is music anyway?
I like this point. He does seem to not want to play Mankind or other songs he wrote but once a tour. It was like pulling teeth to get him to play No Way and Push Me Pull me at PJ20, and everyone loved hearing those.
Let your songs be heard LIVE, Stone, you know we love them.
This song is alot better than that chunk of crap Ole. I don't think it's sugar coating at all. I think it's the opposite. I think it's fans longing for more interesting music than what PJ has offered recently. The new Stone single is basic, but it still seems to have alot more thought put into the final product than just about every song from Backspacer.
Well kinda music community. It's good vibes though.

What exactly do you mean? Elaborate please.
That said, Stone shouldn't get pissed off when they do want to play songs he doesn't..."No Way" at PJ20 for example. Not exactly a sing a long...and it's not very common.
I've listened to some Moonlander on XM PJ radio. Some good riffs, some good interlacing...but c'mon Stone...you can't sing for shit!
Pearl Jam has truly become the side project. It seems like the guys want to play, just not so much with each other.
Since Backspacer (which IMO was just an ok album), Ed put out his Uke album and toured...Jeff put out an album and toured...Mike is doing his own thing...Stone put out an album, Matt is playing and touring a new album with SG. PJ has played a few shows.
I have no problem with the guys doing their own thing, but to deny that "Pearl Jam" isn't the side project anymore...you'd be a fool.
Q: Are there ever songs you get tired of playing after all these years?
A: Not really. With this short-term memory, I forget what I did last night.

Give Stone some time and he may find himself saying the same thing.
Calling someone an 'idiot' just for stating their opinion is unacceptable.

Yeah no reason to call them an idiot, just say they have an extremely close-minded, low-mentality way of thinking that is often an attribute of idiots.

Did anyone retweet for the give away? On twitter.
It's just as bad to call someone's opinion, or way of thinking, "low-mentality". That wears all the colors of "close-minded" to me.
