Stone Gossard is the fuckin' man...

As a guitar player for nearly ten years, I'm consistently amazed at that man's abilities. His playing is so friggin' dynamic. He knows his instrument...

AND he writes these songs that move along in such a way so that a lot happens in a short period, you know? A great example of this is the 1st song off Bayleaf. It takes you all over the place in about 4 minutes. Thin Air is another great example...

Yep, Mike gets the credit for showmanship and the "holy shit!"-ness of his playing, but Stone is every bit as good as Mike, just less flashy...

Definately my biggest guitar influence...

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! Awesome post Alex. Stone is the MAN. He is the groooooove of Pearl Jam. He is the riff~master! He is responsible for all of the super "rhythmic things that butt up against each other in a cool way"

*bows down to the mighty Stoney G*

CANNOT wait to see/hear the man tomorrow!!!!! :eek:

Let's make GORGE a STONE NIGHT!!!!!!! Bust those goodies out and.....SING DAMNIT SING!




**spread the STONEY LOVE**
(cuze there ain't nearly enough of it!)

Scruffy bearded Stone! *Faints* Me likey this very much

Someone needs to make a Stone chant at every show on this tour

OMG I knooooow! :eek: That scruffiness is good times. And YES we are CHICKS :rolleyes: and YES we are actually all about the music but YES you better believe we can observe this shit and there ain't nothing wrong with that. Talk about an added bonus! The out of control talent totally makes some people smokin hot too. It's incredible how much power that can have over you in oh so many ways.

The dork is lookin FLY these days with that scrufo. What a pimp! :cool:

Agreed about the chants too! Trust me stonesgstring (awesome name btw ), Meddledeal and I will be chantin it up for this mighty man. That lack of live love really gets on my nerves. We make it a mission to let the man now how much he is appreciated.

Yeah people always seem to moan if you appreciate a good looking guy and automatically think you only like the band because of it but it's just not true. I prefer to call him a geek rather than a dork, but either works

Woo go you! I shall be listening on the boots for the Stone chants now! When they come to Europe I shall partake in chanting too

RIGHT ON!! I agree, just because we are females and we see a good looking guy, like Stone, we get cruxified. whatever man! I know the duckman is very talented, it is the looks that is an added bonus to it all;)

our 2003 campaign was ALL for STONE and we made sure he got A LOT of LOVE at every single show we attended. Hell, he got a lot of the love @ MSG..he was just grinning from ear to ear all night!!:)

And the Dallas boot, w/the Stone chant...oh I am VERY proud of that moment b/c I was there!!;)

We will be there w/our Stoney signs...I am going to make a NO WAY sign so they can play that freakin' song!! Stone needs love too!!:D

MeddleDeal, you were at the Dallas show? I assume the '03 tour?

OH yes, I was at the Dallas 2003 show...such a GREAT setlist, and made it even better w/that Stone chant!!:) And I agree w/you, AlreadyInLove, I can't wait for that and his solo album, whenever that is going to be released, as well as the new Brad album.:) woohohooo, I can't wait to hear from all of them!!

VEDHEAD27 and I made our Stoney signs to take w/us to the show...mine says "NO WAY" on one side and "LET STONE SING" on the other. I have a pink neon sign and VEDHEAD27 has an orange sign that says, 'STONE" so keep an eye on us tonight and tomorrow night:)

STONEY'S PONIES representing at the Gorge tonight!! Who else is going?

Chick here, and proud Stoney supporter!

Stoneg, the question lingers; do you find Stone hot?

REPRESENTING!!

he did ? really ? i am so :(:(:(

I still loved the record label Stone started in the mid 90's... Loosegroove Records.

Devilhead, Critters Buggin, Hi-Fi Killers, Weapon of Choice, Procreations, Queens of the Stone Age, Amon Tobin and Eurka Farm.

Now that was a record label!
