I think we all agree. He seems to be so underrated.

I AGREE with you on that one. And people say that Mike is underrated?! oh COME ON! :rolleyes: Stone has been MOST underrated since day ONE?! Every since I saw that first SNL appearance, I knew, Stone OWNED! And it seems to me that most people forget that most of the music on the first album were GOSSARD compositions! He makes the catchiest riffs and he owns those songs. He doesn't get enough love whatsoever!

So STONEY'S PONIES & STONE BITCHES UNITE! It is time to make our presence known on this tour;)

Hey Stone, I think you're a facinating individual, and would drive the 3 hours from Bend, OR to hang out with you and possibly take you to see a NEKO CASE show if shes around..hint hint

Yeah, Mike isn't underrated in the PJ community, but I think it can be said that Stone is which means he definitely is outside of the PJ community. Just because he isn't playing the flashier solos doesn't mean he didn't compose or help compose them.

Stone fans of the world unite!

Nah, you didn't kill the thread. I would have posted if I was around.

SmilinSkullRing

I do believe I killed it though.

nah, at least it is less than a day old though Let's the Stoney love continue!! And I think most people fail to mention his talents, especially on his solo album, Bayleaf. That man made that guitar talk during Bayleaf :eek: The sheer talent that comes from that man is endless!!

SmilinSkullRing

I'm listening to In Hiding right now. That is another mark of his great talent.

And did you see him during Life Wasted on Letterman? The man was rockin' out.

oh man no! i was watched seperate performances from Letterman since my stupid real player was showing it shitty :mad: Plus my computer is slow sometimes, so I couldn't watch all of it! but DTE though, DAMN Stone was rockin' out like an old man!haha

In Hiding, you gotta love those Vedder/Gossard compositions, I swear, Yield and Binuaral have the Stoney touch!;) He wrote several songs on those albums, which kick ASS! All Those Yesterdays, No Way, Rival, Thin Air, Of the Girl, WOW! And the ones w/Eddie too, like DTE, In Hiding (my personal favorite), shit there are others haha

VEDHEAD27

Happenstance , thanks so much for your sweet words. Just doing my part in spreading that STONEY LOVE. The praise just seems to flow out so effortlessly...kinda like this man's talent huh? And LOL @ the sock comment!! On top of everything else, the man has such an awesome sense of humor. As if ROCKIN our worlds ain't enough already ...to make us laugh our asses off too? Come on! This man is the greatest.

haha...yahamita! I love it!

SEE!!! Amen SmilinSkullRing! Nadia, we've finally found someone exactly like us. :eek: hahaha. Perfectly said there buddy and I could NOT agree more.


Wait, did you mention the DREAM TEAM?? I can't say it enough~>Ed & Stone write THE BEST songs together!!!! IN HIDING! YES!! I'm praaaaying for that one this tour. Another HUGE mark of his talent for sure and, imo, one of the greatest DREAM TEAM/PJ songs ever! The feeling that one inspires never, ever fails!

Oooh and LETTERMAN? Holy shit! Stone was going NUTS! It really keeps getting more and more intense as the tours go by and this is by far the 90's and then some it seems...for ALL the boys! Our beloved SG is in flames! Headbanging like a mofo!!! :eek: Daaaaamn! It's such a beautiful thing. Wow. I am soooo fuckin pumped for these shows!!

Speaking of how on fire they are, I also wanna mention how completely happier than ever they all appear as well. If this doesn't just make it all that much more! It's absolutely beautiful. *sigh* I think this picture from the AOL SESSIONS does a fine job of summing it all up...

Ah, I still haven't seen the Letterman performances that were before the show. I've only seen Life Wasted, but I'm going to d/l the others. I just hope it doesn't take me forever since I'm on dial-up, but I'm ready to commit to the downloading while I'm away to classes.

Yield is such an excellent album thanks to Stone, and Binaural is pretty underrated it seems. The compositions that Stone adds are killer in my book. I can't get enough of All Those Yesterdays and No Way lately, and DTE has always been one of my #1 favorites.

SmilinSkullRing

Vedhead27,

Right on, right on! It always seems like Stone makes the best songs for the band or with Ed. Not that the others aren't great. For example, NAIS is one of my favorite songs. It's way up on the list, but if I picked ten songs that are my favorite Stone or Stone/Ed would fill up the list more than the others. And, of course, I am taking nothing away from the amazing talent of all of them. The longer I am a PJ fan the more I become a fan of Mike (amazing player and guy), but Stone just has that something plus that talent that draws me to him.

Awesome pic you posted by the way. I just found that one a few days ago myself.

And he was definitely feeling it at the Letterman performances. I love when Stone lets loose a little. It's a great thing to see. One of my favorite DVDs is the Pinkpop Festival from '92. Stone with long hair running around and twirling in his spot while playing. Yeah, that's pretty nice.

MeddleDeal

SmilinSkullRing, I couldn't agree w/you more on what you said. Binaural is SO underrated. Just b/c it didn't sell a million records, it is considered 'bad' by everyone else :rolleyes: I love this album b/c it just flows w/Stoney goodness And I have PinkPop 92, HOLY SHIT, that man can surely rock!! Some people say that Stone does not rock that much, but he does. He is just a little shy. I think, when he feels the energy from the crowd, he takes it in and rocks it out! I remember at the Gorge, Stone was a little reserved, BUT the next night, in Vancouver, Stone was rockin' out w/his bad self :cool: truly, that duckman is about to come out this tour

BuMp for the LOVE of Stone
