Styx on Regis and Kathy Lee

damnnit i wish they'd tour together again

This is what TV and Music should be!

gowan may have a personality that works so well with tommy and jy, but creatively and musically, i'll always love to have dennis, tommy and jy together. there's just nothing like it when these three work together. dennis and tommy are such a foil for each other and that results into the greatest music this band has ever produced.

Ummm, last I checked there's this little thing called "Freedom of Speech". Gargantuan bunch of papparazzi? Get a grip! This is an adult conversation(except for a few idiots) and as always, people have different opinions. You never read or watch things on famous people? Please!! Hypocrite!

You know what, people? Why should we give a F**k about the personal life of Styx? What are we, a gargantuan bunch of papparazzi? Leave them alone, and focus on what is important: The music of styx. How they get along on the stage will be how we judge their personalities. So Dennis may be an asshole (I'm not even saying this is true), or so J.Y may be slightly arrogant. Does any of this info make you dislike styx more? NO! So shut up.

me too. then I can kick his ass...again!

I hope he bites you!!!

its too bad the business aspect of music had to fack their partnership, they were a great band

That was flippin cool!

Paul, you are WRONG. DDY's stong points was theatrics and ballads though rocked out when he could. Tommy was country, folk, rock and blues. JY was hard rock. When the three functioned they were Styx. that idiot leprechaun sounding Gowan's spinning keyboard trick and Robert Plant c*ck rock posture makes Styx laughable.

WRONG!!! Tommy had nothing to do with it. DDY decided he wanted to go Broadway style music, Tommy wanted Styx to go back to the music that they knew best. It was nothing more than two people with two different ideas. DDY got the big head....however.

ts ia such a dog

My favorite band in the world!

Dennis said his way or the highway and they choose the highwasy. They didnt want to sit around for another 7 years or longer waiting for Dennis to get ready...

It's not right to say Tommy had "small man's syndrome" just because of his physical height. The "truth" is that Tommy is an incredible talent in his own right and wanted Styx to go on. Dennis chose not to want that. That was a group decision, not Tommy trying to be a big man.

Styx were best when Dennis, JY and Tommy were working together in unison. They suffer without each other. The truth is Tommy developed "small man's syndrome" in 1998, JY was practically an arrogant man and DDY had his issues but when they imploded, it was it!

Ultimately the band is going to do what they want to do and it doesn't look like Senior DeYoung is part of that. The band works well as it is now even with Chuckie seeming to play with them more and more. No one is trying to upstage anyone else and they all work together to put on a great show. Say what you will about Gowan he works his ass off on stage and I'll take work over ego every time

That's what makes Tommy so well rounded musically. He can do Damn Yankees and Shaw/Blades then return to Styx without missing a beat. Yes, JY can be arrogant, but his intelligence and business savy made them millionares. He was the financial genius that allowed them to sit pretty and concentrate on the music.

What on earth does Def Leppard have to do with this conversation? And for the record, I never said DDY quit, and to say that JY wanted Styx to himself is a bit odd considering that Tommy has way more power than JY. Without Tommy, there is no Styx. And, I'm all for DDY coming back! It's not the same Styx without him.

I never liked Gowan as a solo artist, so why would I give him a chance.

Leppard haven't rocked since Steve Clark died. People that view DDY as a Hypochondriac are the same way people whom view David Gilmour of Pink Floyd as Hypo as well due to the band's lack of activity since 1995.

Shaw delivered on the Crystal Ball, TGI, PoE, Cornerstone and Kilroy albums. He had somewhat of a block on PT and had two solo credits. Shaw's first solo disc GWG was great, one-time Queen engineer Mike Stone made that album sound great.

I watched Styx live in 1981 and that was PRIME STYX. JY comes across as arrogant and even admitted on a radio interview that he annoyed the others with his hendrix influence. Shaw had some country, blues and folk in him.

DDY didn't quit, he was FIRED. Shades of VH saying Hagar quit when he was actually CANNED! The third side to the whole Styx/DDY fiasco was JY wanted Styx for himself. DDY hoped to be back once recuperated but shot down. Styx 1972-1999. The Shaw-Young Band 1999-who knows.

I was taught not to believe everything you read. Shaw wasn't all rocker guy. He had some folk songs, country influence and pop as well. Deyoung switched to ballads as art rock/prog was on its death bed thanks to punk and disco. Just like Genesis, Styx had to change to survive.
