Stone's Solo from Boston II

obiwon76

Was listening to the Boston II show on the drive to work today and I was completely blown away by Stone's solo during "Rockin in a free world". Amazing. Anyone else hear this?

VEDHEAD27

YES!! OMG the man was going the hell off! :eek: Extra, Extra things happened here.

*bows down to the mighty SG*

Excellent call obiwon76. The STONE love/greatness really was taken to new extremes in BoSTONE.

*sigh*

Amazing indeed.

Hells yeah. This is actually the first time I've been moved to post here...that's how strongly I feel about that solo. I was at the show (thankfully, on Stone's side) and was blown away by what I heard. He's usually so economical, letting Mike handle the more face-melting leads, so that made it even more amazing that he absolutely tore the roof off the place.

I haven't heard the boot yet, but during the show I was wondering how it would sound because Theo Epstein, the Red Sox GM, was playing guitar with them during RITFW. He knows how to play and everything, but his timing seemed a little off. There was even a point where he was holding down the rhythm while Mike AND Stone were soloing.

VEDHEAD27

Perfectly said. What a perfect 1st post. I'm so glad others were equally blown the fuck away by this!!!

Wait~~>"thankfully, on Stone's side"??? :eek: *does triple take*

OMG. Ok, everything you posted just...wow.

I love you.

This is how much I loved that solo, I've played "RIFW" more than "Leash" from Boston II. Now, I've heard them play "RIFW" hundreds of times, but I was listening to it today, and the usual stuff, then all of a sudden I hear this "noise" and it's coming from the right side of the speaker, so I know it's Stone, and it's just keeps going and going and Stone is just ripping it. Much love for Stone, much love.

Yup, that officially popped my message pit cherry. Damn, anybody got a cigarette?

I'm just glad someone else witnessed that solo and I didn't just hallucinate the whole thing. I almost don't want to buy the boots for the Boston shows because they are **perfect** in my mind right now.

I'm all about Stone. When everyone else is watching Mike go off during Even Flow or Corduroy, I'm the one guy staring at Jeff, Matt and Stone pound the rhythm into the ground behind him.

Stone's solo is about 2 mins long, but it's tough to explain the intensity of it. When I hear it, I have this mental picture of Stone just rippin away and having that pained expression on his face as he sings along with the solo. The solo almost comes out of nowhere, cause u think the song is almost over, very special indeed.

duggro

i just really dont think its a good solo at all

stone just cant do it...part of the ritfw solo is the same bit he usually does in DTE

i love the guy, but i dont see how this solo is amazing

jdelin

Much love for Stoney. As Ed sang in "DTE" during Boston night 1, "Admire my Stone."

I don't even understand how you can associate the DTE solo with the RITW? That's like saying every "Even Flow" solo is similar to the solo in "Porch". You should go back and listen to it again and again.

obiwon76

Not to harp on this subject, but has anyone listened to Stone's solo in "Fuckin Up" at the DC show? Another sensational solo. I think it may be time for Mike to hand over the duties.

zants

Holy shit I wanna hear that! The Boss knows how to do it!

LearnYourVoice

just heard Stone's solo in RITFW yesterday. holy shit man. he was possessed. awesome.

btw, it starts at 5:03.

VEDHEAD27

Nice to see the love and praise still going strong. YES zants, the GOSS BOSS most definitely "knows" and most definitely OWNS.

Oh and whoa obiwon76, I listened to Fuckin Up from DC as well. All I can say is daaaaaaaaaaaaamn. :eek:

*bows down*

Tears shit up, but also always adding so much groove to it.

mca47

I haven't heard it. Someday...
Anyways, I think Stoney should play more solos. Mikey is incredible, but Stoney is,...quite frankly, THE SHIT!

VEDHEAD27

Wow. **so feels the love**

This thread just keeps getting better and better.

mca47, check your PMs.

MeddleDeal

Those solos kicked ASS!! VEDHEAD played both Fuckin' Up and RITFW for me last night and all I got to say is, when Stone plays, he REALLY PLAYS his heart out! :cool:

There are some fans that think that Stone is JUST a rhythm guitarist, but he is FAR from that!! Anyone who has heard his solo stuff knows what I am talking about!

Glad to hear that Stone is ROCKIN' those solos!!!

well my main problem is that if you listen to the solo....the first half is the same 4 or 5 notes. and there is a part which to me, sounds similar to the solo in DTE

the end bit aint bad, i just think folk are immediately loving it and saying its truly epic because its stone

5:28 til 5:38 approx

just to be specific

dont get me wrong in all this, i love stone and i like the solo, but i dont really see whats so great about it

||Release_Me||

I'm listening now, its very exciting!

Daaaaamn, Stone knows how to TEAR THAT SHIT UP! I can picture him now playing this one, totally committed to the moment, knees bent, head back and forth, constipated look on his face, mouthing the solo to himself in that cute way he does, and Ed probably looking on thinking Stone has finally handed over his soul to the gods of guitar greatness.

Go Stoney!

Was that a Stone solo or a Theo Epstein solo? Stone was funny as hell during RITFW and YL! But actually seeing Theo rock out with PJ was unreal!

obiwon76

The version of "Fuckin Up" from DC is nice cause Mike has his solo and then Stone does his thing. I actually had a nice view of Stone during his solo and he almost fell off the stage cause he was so into the solo.
