As a musician, you never see him break into song with a one-liner when the camera is on him. He never does a drum beat while on an interview (with the exception of his air drumming to the house bands while on late night talk shows. But that's more of just Jon going with the flow of the show). It's almost as if he shies away from music when not in that mode.
I would love to see Jon showcase his other talents such as the harmonica, piano, and I think the dude could actually play the drums too. Not only because of the thing he did with Tico at the Borgata but because of this too.

I'd also love to see him do more on guitar.
You see guys like Dave Grohl do it all and I think Jon is keeping himself underrated. He needs to get the nerve to go balls out and become a real musician again. |
As a musician? Not a lot, enough to get by of course, but obviously he is not a massively talented musician.
In other aspects of his career I think he is hugely talented, much more than people give him credit for. Songwriter, frontman (even now), businessman, singer etc. Which is why it is just a real shame that the last 13 years of the band has on the whole been disappointing.
