    I know he doesn't move around much and that's cool, but what I don't understand is why he has his back turned to the fans so much.

    Don’t come at my boy Stone. He’ll turn around when he wants to.

    Love me some Stone! My wife loves how he rocks in place and does that little bird head bop when he’s feeling the groove. It’s fun watching him when he gets a solo too!

    Stone looked pretty happy at Nashville and St. Louis!

    Stone’s treatment of the Grammy & crusty coffee cups beg to differ

    Very exciting

    How long do you have to be a fan of this band to know that Stone is Not anyone but Stone? He's brilliant beyond belief, a riff genious, and probably wrote most of your favorite songs (and he can play them). I love the fact that each band member has his Own way of expressing his musical art. I'm glad they're not the same! I don't know how playing great music for you could be interpreted as dissinterest or not wanting to be there. Stone is not "Mike stage left", never has been, wouldn't want him to be. There's only one Mike and there's only one Stone. I appreciate them both SO much for the insane talent they bring. Each in his own way. So watch the other guys if you prefer, Stone doesn't mind!

    *edit: He also makes prune faces. Doesn't mean he doesn't want to be there!

    (Yeah, yeah, he's also written a few of my least favorites, but I'll give him a pass on that tiny percent. He has broader tastes than I have, ha!)

    Stone was as animated and engaged as I’ve seen him in a long time in St. Louis. He was rocking out, moving around the stage, smiling, you name it.  Regardless, he could have sat on his stool with his back to us the entire show and he’d still be the best. 
    I was about to say this. I was side stage right by Mike so got to watch Stone all show and he was jumping and smiling like crazy.

    Plus, when Ed messed up the lyrics during All Night in Nashville, Stone kept the music going! Ed looks at Stone, Stone shakes his head no and kept playing!
    What a legend.

    Now Stone, not only do I want you to play your music for 2 hours each night, but you better be enjoying yourself up there as well!  Be animated, move around, and do your duck walks!!!  How else will others be able to enjoy themselves unless you too are enjoying yourself?

    I'm so happy Stone doesn't go around doing pointless cliché rock things like smashing guitars zzz, throwing out picks zzz or rotating a drum set. 

    Stone is great.

    Stone could fall asleep on stage and I wouldn’t care. The man’s body of work is impeccable. A vastly underrated rock god.

    Yes and every single fan in attendance should be jumping up and down, wooing, and singing off key as loud as possible so that everyone around you knows that you are musically aroused. Only then will some people not be disappointed.
