I didn't get onboard with Styx until The Grande Illusion tour, when they opened for.... Kiss... I wasn't familiar with them, but they were so good live, I kind of transitioned to being a Styx fan over a Kiss fan.. Saw Styx about 6-7 times - until Roboto came out.. I was a metal head by then..

Have seen Styx 3 times since those days - all with the current line-up for the most part.. As long as tommy shaw and James Young are onboard, its gonna be good.. the new Keyboardist is FANTASTIC and remind sme so much of a more animated Dennis DeYoung.. Todd Sucherman on drums - one of the best sessionn guys in the business, and Ricky Phillips on bass - he was originally with The Babys (in the John Wait days)..

they did add a no-name guitarist that stands in the back.. Not sure why they needed to, other than to fill out the song during harmony solos?

You should dig them if you are/ever were a Styx fan..



Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..

  I LOOOOVE Nicks. She was maybe my first celebrity crush...

Ramgator83November 30, 2022 03:17PM

  Grace Slick of Jefferson Starship thought the same way.

Ramgator184November 30, 2022 03:19PM

  Personally, I think these Bands / Members hang on because the fans won't let go. Think about it...

Ramgator80November 30, 2022 03:23PM

  Plus it always comes down to money..

sstrams113November 30, 2022 03:50PM

  Yeah. There are a LOT of Cover Bands calling themselves the original.

Ramgator60December 01, 2022 04:42PM

  Half the time the Foreigner guitarist doesn't even play..

sstrams102December 02, 2022 05:15AM

  Not a good analogy Gator

ferragamo79122December 02, 2022 06:15AM

  IDK I guess you have to be more die hard than I am.

Ramgator81December 02, 2022 10:37AM

  I understand a player needing to be replaced..

sstrams53December 02, 2022 10:48AM

  Funny how that happens. Credence Clearwater Revival

Ramgator45December 03, 2022 06:32AM

  tried to list bands with 1 replacement or so

ferragamo7961December 02, 2022 12:15PM

  Styx is kind of different..

sstrams59December 02, 2022 12:23PM

  Huge Styx fan and I think Deyoung sings on some of their best songs

ferragamo79130December 02, 2022 05:13PM

  Stated month or so ago we have tics for them....

roman1866December 03, 2022 04:28AM

sstrams60December 03, 2022 06:22AM

  It doesn't bother me.....

JamesJM60December 01, 2022 12:21PM
