I do love Stone, but...
Chr-IST Ed's got pipes! The vocals are the draw for a lot of people...You can have the greatest lyrics, ect, but if the singer sucks, it's the biggest turn off. Does anyone think they'd still love pearl jam as much if oh, say.... Jason Mraz was the singer?! (or that dude they got for Alter Bridge...yech.)
I mean just look at some of the songs Stone has written:
* songs that he also wrote the lyrics for
Once
Even Flow
Alive
Black
Breath
Footsteps
Brother*
Hold On
Animal
Hard To Imagine
Spin The Black Circle
Satan's Bed
Mankind*
Don't Gimme No Lip*
No Way*
Do The Evolution
In Hiding
All Those Yesterdays*
Strangest Tribe*
Thin Air*
Of The Girl*
Rival*
Fatal*
Bu$hleaguer
All Or None
Life Wasted
Parachutes
Wasted Reprise
You could make an entire fuckin Greatest Hits album out of that! Unbelievable!
the riff at STBC makes 'smells like teen spirit' look like a pop song..like a madonna song..
stone's rules...
''walk the bridges before you burn them down...''
and always remember ''it's no crime to escape!!!"
You lost me when you counted Mankind as a "Greatest hit". Seriously?? I mean all other shit, I totally agree with you, but Mankind??? Come on!!! It's a fun song for a live show yeah, but other than that, that song is really bad.
Dude calm down. I just meant it generally.
And also, about that list. Those are only songs where the music/lyrics were exclusively written by Stone (except for the ones with Eddie lyrics, of course). That doesn't even take into account the contributions he's made to other songs which weren't exclusively his.

I can't calm down. This whole "West Coast Dates might not happen" thing got me all reeled up :-P
Yeah well get some tickets and come East! I've heard there are a few left for some shows (Boston 1, both Camdens...)

Stone is a great musician/songwriter, but you could make an as big or bigger Ed list of greatest hits as well (someone else can dot it, I am too lazy). It is great having two fantastic songwriters in the band. it makes the band more dynamic.
Stone needs to write a lot more for this album to be successful. He is the master of riff driven songs with cool hooks.
For 'this' album to be successful? Was there some sort of announcement/rumor that a PJ is going to write an album relatively soon? I know they will eventually, but is there actually news about it?
Sorry I have been away from the boards(finals) lately and haven't seen anything on the board.

Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris instead
decided to punch his way out of his mother's womb. Shortly thereafter
he grew a beard.

I highly doubt that Stone is gay. He talks and acts in a slightly effeminate way but he's just the artsy type (sorry to the people who dislike generalizations). He seems very straight to me, and especially considering he has a wife and kid, I don't think he's gay.

He has written some of the best songs PJ has ever done..my fave being "Thin Air" could listen to it day in day out..

No, he is married and has a child.
If you hate something, don't you do it too
gays can be married & have kids too.

I find this hard to believe. Few bands or solo artists rise to the level that PJ are at now, nevermind how HUGE they were at thier hight of fame.
