Hi All, I had to post an experience I had today. I went to a festival we have here in Milwaukee called Summerfest. A big music festival. "Styx" was playing...
Hi Judi :) I agree it's not the same, just my opinion. I do miss Tommy's songs and the harmonies that Styx once brought. Are you planning to see Dennis as...
My experience 5 years ago when I went to 2 'Styx' shows thinking Dennis would be back soon as he was better....it didn't happen. Gowen's a good boy but his...

Amy seZ... ... the overall picture in a new light and stop the ego-visions?<< Ummmm....help! What "new book"? ... Micky <---eager to read if I only had a clue...
Judi seZ... ... disappointment.<< Wow. It's nice to see someone's still willing to tell me how *I* feel. It'd be even nicer to be able to have my *own*...
Right, I'm going to have to step in here. I live in the UK-The last Styx concert I saw was on our first wedding anniversary-and my wife and I clock up 25 years...
he's by far the weakest vocalist. There's absolutely NO questioning his virtuosity on accoustic piano and his solid work on electronic keyboards (he's not...
For my first post (hi, guys!) I have to chime in on this.... Yes, I wish the whole Styx gang (including John) were still together. Yes, the split was awful.......
... (and non-existent in the U.S.) and two Styx offerings - the HORRENDOUS and obscene "Fields of the Brave" and the cute "More Love for the Money" which...
Big in Canada is like being winning the NCAA Division II football championship. Being big in the U.S. is like winning division I. What was Larry Gowan doing...
I was a fan of Gowan's prior to his joining Styx. I really liked his work. When it was announced that he was filling in for Dennis, I didn't think much of...

... That's not necessarily true...I've loved the band since I first saw them live in 1977, and Dennis was my favorite member without a doubt. Today's version...
I just saw Dennis again last weekend at The Taste of Minnesota in St. Paul. He did a great show and even played the piano more than the last time I saw him...
Judi, ... 1. There are "original" members of Styx that perform. JY being one. Chuck P. on occassion is another. I don't count Tommy as one since he joined...
overall, they sound very good live - especially for an "older" band. Unlike some aging groups, Styx still has punch live - the keyboard skills of Larry Gowan...
There's no disagreement here...when I "speak out" is for the shills who proclaim Styx to be a "better" band with Larry than with Dennis. Plus, make absolutely...
First, if you think they're a "band of equals," you're kidding yourself (not that it matters - Larry was relegated to being a 1 man band warm up act in Canada...
... From: "Doug Holland" <dholland422@...> To: <DennisDeYoung@yahoogroups.com> ... And why am I 'kidding myself' , what is your your proof of this? Why...
To me, he's a terrific musician, a mediocre vocalist and mediocre song writer. In two out of three measures, he pales in comparison to Dennis AND to Tommy...
When I met Lawrence backstage in 2001, I asked him how he was doing playing with Styx. His eyes lit up and he told me, "I love it! I am having the best time...
listening to "Fields of the Brave" was pure torture - and, along with "Lenon's Assassin," the only two "low-lites" of Cyclorama IMHO. I did get a kick out of...
Sticking to this thread, but diversifying it slightly - Glen appeared to have a hard time of things when he replaced Tommy for "Edge of the Century", but I...
