I don't want to get the guy in trouble. The last time one of their affiliated stations out in L.A. did a spoof on Cronin during the morning drive time,...
Which could be the reason why Sanctuary dropped Styx like a hot potato, and they've been having trouble getting any reputable company to touch 'em with a 10...
I guess you're entitled to an opinion of Sanctuary "dropping" Styx... but in all reality, Styx filled their contractual obligations and fired Sanctuary........
I understand, I am from PIA and wondered if it was from there. ... affiliated stations out in L.A. did a spoof on Cronin during the morning drive time,...
After Tommy Shaw's "Rock to the Rescue" fiasco, where they raised $10 million and ended up donating less than five percent to charity, I'm afraid to ask. And...
And you're entitled to fantasies. The fact is Sanctuary dropped Styx due to poor "Cyclorama" and "Arch Allies" sales. And Tommy Shaw didn't fulfill his...
The Official Styx Website: http://styxworld.com/bigbang.asp (Released 05/10/05 on Universal Music Enterprises). Nuff said on that "issue." Styx was in...
The Official Styx website (like many corporate PR machine websites) is wrong. I've got a copy of Big Bang Theory right here in my hands, and it says "New Door...
Not sure when or where you got your TBBT CD..... Mine says Universal (go figure) I *will* agree with ya tho... That CD isn't worth the price of the jewel case...
I actually thought Sanctuary did an excellent job of promoting Cyclorama, despite the fact that it was a less than mediocre album. It's always amusing to hear...
I don't have a copy of "Big Bang Theory," but every website I looked at shows "New Door Records" as the label. (Amazon, Yahoo Shopping, CD Universe, Price...
That point is one we'll have to agree to disagree on. Cyclorama has tracks I like better than some... but there isn't one track I can honestly say I dislike. ...
Sorry, but I decided not to take your word for it. When I looked it up, I discovered you're flat out wrong. Cyclorama was released on February 18, 2003. Here's...
Number ONE, Mark... I'm not financially connected to Styx at ALL. I do sales for a touring PA system... and even tho I'm friends with their PM.... Styx has...
Huh? The DDY lawsuit stated that Styx was owned by something called Buddies (Buddys), Inc., a partnership made up of DDY, JY, CP and the estate of JP. Shaw...
Actually, at the time BBW was released, CMC International (part of Sanctuary) was a preferred outlet for classic rock/heritage acts. They still have quite a...
I hope DDY still owns part of Styx. After the "Behind the Music" segment I was so very disappointed in the major attitude of JY, but then again...we have KC!...
New Door Records was primarily created as a vehicle to cross-promote artists with existing Universal catalog. Hip-O is the compilation unit of Universal. Being...
Hey friend!!! I read that little piece on Amato being a "fine player"... the guy sucks!!! I've listened to a lot of REO over the years, and that squallin',...

I'm not defending anything here, but I saw Amato with REO, and he couldn't hit the high notes like Richrath could. PLUS, AMATO PLAYED A STRAT... WTF? ...
I think Amato is a fine player. However, like you, I agree that he's not the guitarist for REO. Gary's style is way too unique to him; he really can't be...
I couldn't agree more about Gary's style being unique to him. I think it is what makes him one of Rock's best most creative lead guitar players. I give Amato...
