    SHit man he was my favorite part of the last show i saw (Albany 2006). During the encore they started playing crazy mary...Stone was standing right next to Ed with his acoustic guitar....and after the first verse Stone plays the wrong chord....Ed looks over smiling and Stone did this little swinging movement with his head while switching to the correct chord progression...it was great :)

    Oh man, that sounds awesome! Stone rocks, even when he plays the wrong chord!

    it's funny because he always fucks up :)

    He fucked up sleight of hand in Boston (2000), he actully messed up the first notes of life wasted in Albany...that's what makes the concert for me...Seeing Ed mess up last kiss, Stone mess up a chord, its endearing :)

    Hey, Stone is the man!

    Not only is he a great writer, guitar player, and singer....

    Lets not forget his most inportant contribution to the music world,

    HE STARTED PEARL JAM!!!!!!!

    Stone and Jeff created a monster!

    Way to go boys.

    Thanks Stone!

    eddie's Tone rocks, I don't know how you figured that out but I'm so glad you did buddy. LOVE iT and it's so perfect for the LOVE for Stone thread. :D

    Heeey BlackCorduroy!:) Good to see you and how cool of you to come and give the man some lovin.

    GardenOfStone, HELL YES! Him and Jeff = the Godfathers. *bows down*
    Without them there would have no PEARL JAM! It's true.

    *sigh*

    I'm currently over here blasting the living hell outta LIFE WASTED (repeat mode). How infectious is this song?! I can't get enough. That riff has Stoney's super catchy stank all over it. :D

    How sweet! I'm so glad that you all enjoyed my little Portland review and you are so welcome. I love sharing the experience with those that 'understand'. Trust me, lots more storytelling to come. ;) I'll try to post more later on today. I've just been so lazy lately! hahah. Awww & SammieBlack! Thank you! You are too kind. :) **hugs to you my friend** I'm anxious to hear about your soon to come Stoney stories too.

    Speaking of Portland, Pati has pictures of the tiara o' cake. hehe. Oooh and of him rockin that drum kit. I'm sure she'll post them soon enough. We're all just sloooowly crawling back into the swing of things. :p

    Really though, to see the Goss owning that guitar, mic and drum kit all in the same show? :eek: WOW! Is there anything he CAN'T DO!? This man is such a gift from above...the gift that keeps on giving! The endless talent of this one man band will forever blow my mind! DAMN STONEY! And to do it all happier than ever too? *tears* Sometimes I honestly can't help but tear up from the extreme joy. As if the music ain't enough, to feel/see this glow of happiness just radiating from each and every member on top of that?! :o It's THE BEST! Playing with the same energy as the 90's but the angst is now replaced with overflowing LOVE. I honestly think this is the best they have ever been, on every single level. Which is saying a lot cuze they've always been the best! haha. I know you know what I mean. They are just SOOOOO HAPPY! Kickin ass better than ever, sounding better than ever , looking & feeling better than ever...having so much fun up there. What a blessing.

    Have we all read this beautiful thing???

    okay I haven't been on this thread for DAYS!! I am SO lazy lately, damn me! haha. anyway, the whole Stoney G. Fan Club idea, was none other than Lisa who let us use her $5 PJ poster she bought. :p I still have to see that pic of us b/f the show and after SF II. :D

    Great memories and GREAT trips!!!! DAMN, I can say these SF shows are close to MSG I & II!! :eek:

    and STONE, I mean, DAMN that duckman was moving all 5 shows I attended. He could NOT be stopped!! The Gorge, he was on FIRE BOTH nights and wanted to continue during night 2. He was ALL ready to go!! but no go.:( oooo, I can't wait for Brad to tour soon, so I can see them FINALLY!!! I have all their albums, except for Brad vs. Sachtel, and they make the most sweet, harmonious songs ever!! :D


    sorry it is brief but I am talking about SF II on my space blog :p

    You are very, very welcome my friend. Everyone must read that. It's one of the most beautiful articles out there.


    "We just feel so fortunate to have all this great energy in the room every night. I think we all feel that we're connected with each other and that we're feeling strong and have a great sense of camaraderie. And I think when that happens, we can go out and do something pretty special. That's what's going on right now. Some nights we really get it going on stage. I couldn't be happier with what's happening in the band and how people have been feeling and how the crowds have been."


    *feels lightheaded* AWWWWWWWW!@#%&* :o!!!!!!! Come on! That is just too fuckin gorgeous!

    Alrighty...I think it's due time that I told you all the story of THE greatest Stoney encounter there ever was. Gather round ponies and bitches......
    :D

    So in line for The Holy SF trio shows I met and fell in love with these 2 amazing canadians. They became my instant BFFs for the whole rest of the tour. We shared SF night 1 and 3 together and they just made the high that much more. I love those guys!!! But anyways....we had lotsa fun together being way goofy and stuff. One of our main things was high fiving. ha! We just kept high fiving during and after the show. haha. Good times. Well little did we know how far UP the high fiving would reach....
    :eek:

    The canadians and I parted ways after SF III. We were all gonna meet again at The Gorge but one of them, Shaun, was actually gonna be @ The Portland show so we made plans to meet there too. *ahem* We meet up in Portland and he tells me he has a story for me. Wheeeew!

    Here it goes....

    Shaun gets to the SF airport the night before the show to catch his flight. He's waiting in line at his Alaska airlines gate, just kickin it, when all of a sudden his friend notices a chick with a PJ hoodie a few rows ahead of them. She's standing next to a guy in a baseball cap. His friend tells him, "Shaun look, Pearl Jam people!" He was like "oh cool." A few minutes later the baseball cap dude turns around and his friend quickly grabs his arm and says "OMG Shaun that's STONE!!!" :eek:!!!!!! Shaun says he freezes in astonishment. Stone leaves the line and starts walking passed him. At this point Shaun reaches out and says "Stone!" Get this...Stoney says "one sec...I'm just gonna go grab a coffee and I'll be right back." AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!! :D Sure enough, the man comes back over and chats it up with Shaun for a good 15 minutes!!!! :eek:! How amazing is that!?! They talked about a variety of things, including the SF shows. Shaun thanked him personally for helping us when we were getting squished.


    Quick recap (from my fanview):

    Right after Unempolyable a bunch of people behind us on the floor start pushing. Me and everyone on the rail got pinned up against that sucker so damn tight that it actually squeezed screams out of us. It never got unbearable on the rail but there were a few super squishy moments and this one was by far the squishiest. It was starting to hurt. Who sees this happening and decides to regulate? The Gossman Bossman! :eek: :D AWWWWW!! I remember seeing him approach the mic and thinking "omg is he about to sing!?!" haha. But no, it was strickly business. Stoney to the rescue! The man regulated and protected the ponies. So fuckin sweet! *heart caves in* God I love this band Once again pushing the love and respect to even greater levels.....

    :cool: : "Hey can I just say something? This is all great and we're all having a
    great time. As far as people pushing and stuff from behind...it's really
    important that we just kinda, everyone just chill out. There's no need to
    push. It just doesnt make any sense. So just please, just try to be mellow
    enjoy yourself, have a good time, enjoy music."




    Unbelievable! He is totally BFFing with the ponies these days! It's soooooooooo beautiful! I still can't believe it. This man is incredible! He protected us??! *tears* THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH STONEY! **love love love**


    Oooh but getting back to him and Shaun....yeah so they talked about that and Stoney told him "no problem. you're welcome" for the protection and said he was concerned. :) Also he said that GA shows really aren't for them and that he's not sure they'll be doing them again around these parts anytime soon. Shaun said after they chatted for a bit he asked him if they could take a picture together to which the Goss responded "sure". Then Shaun told me, "Lydia, I don't know what came over me but I asked him if we could fake high five!" :eek: LOL!!@#%#$ ahahahaha. OMG!! YES!!!! I LOVE IT! Ummmmm....and Stoney was TOTALLY DOWN!!!!!! Holy fuck, get ready folks. You are about to lay your eyes on the GREAT PICTURE EVER TAKEN BY ANYONE, ANYWHERE...EVER!


    http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a17/LadyPJ27/PJ/968670076_l.jpg

    :eek:

    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Look at that thing! ahahah. I cannot even BEGIN to deal with this picture! What in the@#% Stone is sooo into that shit. LOL!!#@#$ This picture kicks way too much ass for me to even understand! GREATEST PICTURE EVER,EVER, EVER! I cannot get over this! Immediately following his dream of a story I musta asked him like 50 times over and over "can I see that again? can you tell me what happened again? can I see that again?" haha. THE BEST!!!!!

    It doesn't stop there. After they took the picture Stoney went back to his spot in line. Uhhh mind you, dude is traveling on a frickin coach Alaska airlines flight! This man is too fuckin beautiful. I love how real and humble he is. :o Good lord. *looks up to the sky* THANK YOU! ;) Anyways after standing in his spot for awhile Stone decides to come BACK OVER AND CHAT MORE WITH SHAUN! Whaaaaaat!? :eek: Out of control. Out...of...control. Once they eventually get on the plane Shaun ends up sitting a few rows behind him. He said mid flight Stoney turned around and gave him the peace sign.:)! *sigh*

    Yeah, so there it is. Shaun ended up meeting the whole band over the course of his SF trip. He said without a doubt, Stone was the coolest of them all. :o Is that not the best story and the GREATEST PICTURE EVER??? Jesus. It makes me angry how flat out, riduckulously awesome this is. FUCK! I need to go look at that picture again. haha. That is the realest fake high five I have ever seen. Stone is SO INTO IT! ahaha.

    *yells violently*

    THIS MAN RUUUUUUULES!

    OMG thanks for posting that pic girlie. That is sooo much cuter and funnier than on his camera itself.

    What a great story...couldn't have happened to a nicer guy too.
