    My avatar is a photo I took of Mike at the London O2 show in 2009. It’s blurry because he was in full flow, and I wouldn’t want it any other way!

    He only walks in counterclockwise circles while onstage.
    This is bad, very bad, you must always walk clockwise in the circle.
    I saw him run around the entire stage counterclockwise.  I left the show in disgust.

    Mike is a super nice guy. 
    Having said that I'm with OP. But then again I'm a Stone kinda girl.

    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    Mike is a super nice guy.  Every time he comes to visit he does the dishes.  Just wish Stone would do them sometimes...

    I always thought mikes side was the place to be... if I have to pay $120/ticket, I expect a show.  

    If mike stood still and didn’t engage with the audience, than there wouldn’t be much to watch on the PJ stage.

    Agree with OP. Mike has become a cheeseball. Moments when Eddie is singing serious lyrics and Mike is throw out picks and whatnot are pretty lame.

    This thread also touches on the mind blowing concept that it's possible to love this band, but not love every. single. thing. they. do.

    I changed my comments since people obviously can't take a joke, but seriously his whole walking around pointing act in between playing.  Could do without it...anyway love PJ, see y'all at Wrigley N1

    We can see your original post. It's not a joke to personally attack a band member. Name calling is not ok.
