    Oh please....

    That's like saying a true Beatles reunion would have needed Pete best.

    Tommy and James are Styx. Dennis is a poof, and John P. is dead.



    I do know someone who was part of the Dennis DeYoung tour, and they told me he's an absolute DICK to work for.

      If you want to talk true "scab" bands, check out the FOREIGNER currently milking the Casino Circuit for 20K a night.

        Don't like the scab "Foreigner" either. Of course I didn't have any use for the real Foreigner after their third album.

            When Styx plays now do they do any of the DeYoung songs? If so, who does the vocals?

              Yes. The keyboardist sounds a lot like him....

                Well if you ever start to care one way or the other take a listen to First Time and you will be cured very quickly.


                Makes me wonder which cheese ballad started the ballad for profit movement that became a staple for a while.

                  Well, you could trace ballads by hard rock bands all the way back to Zeppelin and Aerosmith, I guess. But where it really started to take over and become a commerical cash in, would probably be Styx with "Babe". And then once Van Hagar came in with the Velveetafests on 5150, all the hairbands came back with all that sickening shit that dominated radio of the late 80s.

                    Yup. Gowan's a great fit. I wonder if they still play "Strange Animal"...or is that just at the Canuck gigs?

                      I do like Lawrence Gowan, he is the only one other than Dennis that I can see fronting Styx. He's a great keyboard player and a great singer. He didn't really sound good 2000-2003 but when they got Ricky Phillips (former Whitesnake member) on bass, he began to really adopt his own style as opposed to mimicking DDY. Chuck Panozzo still plays for them, but because of his HIV, I assume that he is required to take months off if he even catches the slightest hint of a sniffle, but he dosen't let his sickness rule his life. I give serious props to that man.

                      But you know what, Dennis is happy with his own act which is pretty good. I saw him twice at the Paramount Theatre. In a way it's kind of like there is two Styxes. One Styx is Tommy and JY's band, and the other Styx is Dennis' band. In short, I don't really want them to reunite, if they do, they're going to start fighting like two girls over a shirtless Chris Hemsworth.

                              I'm still tripping over whether it should be Styx is a bunch of assholes or Styx are a bunch of assholes. This damn English language has it's perplexities.

                                I think Babe helped but that was 1979. About 3 years before that Kiss had a little number that was a large contributor to this as well.
