He's Don's first-call sub. He fills in for Stu nowadays. He hasn't played full time in the band since Inside Job. That said, for guitar reasons I prefer Stroud to Thorn but that's just me but it sounds like this gig will be both Stroud and Thorn. I just think Stroud is a bit more.....melodic as far as being more classic and old school. Thorn is known for being more of a modern-styled player and an EVH type player. But I do think he's a great player. I just prefer the more vintage rock sound and playing of Stroud. Also Stroud just seems to be a touch more friendly and "average guy".
