I remember a few tours ago Stone would sing "Mankind" and that was the only song he would ever do. Any reason why he doesn't sing more?

    Have you actually heard him sing? He's certainly not what i would call a great singer that's for sure!!!

    Sorry Stone (as you are obviously gonna read this :rolleyes: )

    Stone has a great voice, one reason he probably doesn't sing on PJ tours anymore is that he's realized the caliber of a lot of the people he's singing TO...it's evolution, baby...

    Yeah seriously...Stone can sing! Bayleaf is much much better than Into The Wild.

    Stone, if you're reading this, you owe us a tour my man! :)
    Bayleaf Tour...please make it happen Stone.

    because the last time the crowd had his back he instead decided to DANCE!

    I was really hoping to hear a Stone vocal at Camden 1 or 2. Thought that it might be the stop on this tour to finally hear the man live, but it was not to be. Still holding out hope for MSG1, but not holding my breath either.

    By the way, some of us really enjoy Stone's vocals. He's not a "classic" singer like Ed, but his songwriting, guitar playing, and yes vocals, are part of what makes this band great. "Bayleaf" still gets alot of play in my house, and I can't wait for a follow up.

    If some of you only enjoy Ed's vocals, that's just a matter of taste. But as someone who enjoys singers like Johnny Rotten, Joey Ramone, etc., I find it to be a bit narrow minded to say that Stone isn't a good vocalist.

    No reason to bash something because it's not why YOU like the band.

    Peace.

    I actually ran into Stone on Thursday and asked him to sing Mankind and he said "No" without any hesitation, when I asked him why not he just kinda smiled, very funny thinking about it now.

    Stones such an amazing singer he doesnt want to steal the spotlight from Eddie. He also doesnt solo that much cause he doesnt want to outshine Mike

    No offense, but there's no way those are the reasons.
    I shit and I stink. I'm real, join the club.

    A friend, he called, I didn't mention a thing. The last thing he said was, "Be sound". Sound. I contemplated an awful thing, I hate to admit. I just thought those would be such appropriate last words. But I'm still here.

    Actually, I agree that Stone's album is the stronger of the two, but I freely admit that Ed's CD isn't really a solo album, so it's apples and oranges. However, I rarely listen to ITW, while Bayleaf has been keeping me company forever.
