They had successfully recorded demos with him, which can be seen on the "Images and Words" demos, though he only performed one live show with them that ended up disastrous, and Stone was fired immediately. The band says he had been dancing around the stage in a rather odd manner, seemingly doing a bad impression of Bruce Dickinson. Also, he had infamously shouted 'Scream for me Long Beach!' several times throughout the show, although they were actually performing in Bayshore, embarrassing the band further.
