Stone doesn't seem into it anymore

    Stone's always seemed pretty aloof and has been the least active band member on stage, but I've watched a bunch of the videos from this tour on YouTube and I've been thinking about how Stone seems more happy and engaged up there than he has in years (or maybe even more than he ever has). He even seems happier than usual in all those interviews they did recently... I think he seems to be more at peace with the band lately.

    yeah I thought Stone was atypically moving around getting into it quite a bit. he also had a big ass smile on his face at many different times.

    I hope when I'm a big famous rock star, people don't attempt to judge how I'm feeling by watching me from 50 rows away, and then post about it on a message board.

    But that's probably wishful thinking.

    I was in front of Stone at Buffalo and he was zoned in. One does not need to throw handfuls of pics and finger point to be considered "into" it...not that there is anything with doing that.

    I always thought that Stone is/was more of an introspective player, who rules the stage in a very silent way. He really gets into his own zone with their songs. Which I like. I am rather on Stone's side than on Mike's. Less moshing.

    And a short PS: he is more present on this album than on BS. He co-wrote two songs and wrote one himself. And those are the credits. I think he has his own voice in the other songs too. I love LTRP btw.

    Good video! :thumbup: ... Eddie said the whole place/crowd reminded him of a healthy bowl of soup I think. :lol:
    I really like Matt's drum, with the lighting... is that new, or have I just been that unobservant up until now?

    I think it is new. Maybe reffering to LB? Not certain though...

    Full disclosure. Not MY video. I was just watching tour vids on youtube. The guy's username is VideoGremmie and he's got a lot of good ones.

    He's probably smiling about all of the money deposited in his bank account. "I Only Play For Money".

    JUST JOKING.

    Stone seems more engaged this tour but his style is to play it cool. He is a good balance for the band.
