Why doesn't Stone contribute more?

To the songwriting? They guy writes great songs. The opening lick to Let the Records Play is sick. Wish they'd have developed that song a little better though. His main contribution to the album is one song with collaborative songwriting on Infallible and Pendulum. IMO these are the best songs on the album sans Get Away by Ed.
Too much Ed, more Stone. Anyone else agree? I will also add that Jeff's bass playing came alive with this album which = awesome. Decent album overall but could have been a lot better I think considering a 4 year wait.

I know some fans think the band should move forward and not look back but I think insert a good classic sounding Pearl Jam rocker where you go 'Damn that's Pearl Jam' instead of Sleeping By Myself and you have a much better album.
I mentioned that in my first post.

Someone else said that he didn't even look at the crowd all that much... :?
Eddie Vedder- 7/16/11

Probably the most spot on review of this album.
Wind this thing up.
I always thought that about Stone playing live until being front row, directly in front of him in Pittsburgh. He's not as animated as the others nor does he show much emotion. But one thing I noticed is his eyes are everywhere and he absorbs it all. He reacts and smiles subtly and definitely enjoyed himself and appreciated Friday night.... It's just not obvious. Especially from afar.

I feel this is evidence to the support the idea that Stone needs to get more songs on a cd. These are great songs!

Indeed. He is still interested, the guy is a prolific song writer. Not every idea of his or the other guys will make an album. He might not get full credits for alot of songs but you can bet he has a major part to play in each song on the album. Just because he doesn't throw 1000 picks out a gig doesn't mean he isn't enjoying himself
This interview is a fascinating read.

That is an excellent read. Thank you.
I agree with you here. I think Stone is kinda the glue on a lot of songs that he doesnt get credited on. Recall that short video of Mike describing how he wrote Given to FLy, (I think it was in Pj20?) where he called Stone and Stone helped him transition into the chorus or bridge.
Does he ever get visibly into it though? Usually he's just up there chillin, not jumping around or anything.
Well Stone, I certainly agree.
2012 - Manchester i & ii, Berlin i & ii, Stockholm. 2014 - Amsterdam i & ii, Trieste, Vienna, Berlin, Leeds, Milton Keynes.

Great album. Stone hit one out of the park with Moonlander

I've been thinking about this myself lately. its gotta be weird for him to go from front and center on the music writing on the early stuff to getting what, 3 song credits on this new one. Also
the most successful (to the masses) PJ songs have mostly been his stuff. Thats a fascinating interview and he's being very diplomatic there but I wonder how he really feels about having to relinquish so much influence within the band. Intriguing.
