    Agree with everything you said at the end in regards to Styx & DDY. Saw the new version of Styx for the 11th time this past June in Houston. John Waite was great as was Foreigner. As for Foreigner as you said, its the songs. I'd bet that not a single member of current Foreigner was even alive when Foreigner released their first album. But this version of Foreigner with Kelly Hansen as Lou Graham delivered every song flawlessly. As good as John Waite and Foreigner were Styx totally stole the show as I knew they would. Sucherman is world class on the drums, JY was JY which is always great. I still want to be Tommy Shaw when I grow up & I'm 60. For the 11th time once again it was Gowan that totally stole the show. I've been to over 100 rock shows in my life including Styx with DDY 13 times. With that said Lawrence Gowan is the greatest showman I've ever seen. He commands the stage. Back to Dennis, I was there in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl on that hot hot day in 83 or 84 for that fateful Kilroy show that JY, Tommy & Cahil lied about on Behind The Music. Yes thousands left after the Sammy Hagar, Ted Nugent, Rik Emmett encore. They did the year before too after Santana left the stage & before Journey took the stage. Not in the numbers that left BEFORE Styx took the stage but thousands did leave after Santana finished their set. I was at both shows and the weather was similar but after Hagar's set was finished and before Styx took the stage the higher ups running the Cotton Bowl venue shut down all beer sales because the crowd was so rowdy & intense. The actual Styx concert was never booed. The people left, left for a variety of reasons. But they left before Styx ever took the stage just like the prior year when thousands left before Journey ever took the stage. The 30,000 to 40,000 that stayed saw a flawless Styx show. 3 or 4 people in our group left to go out to our truck that had the beer in it. The dumbasses couldnt find the truck then were not allowed to re enter. Tommy & JY did Dennis wrong. That's my only take on the matter.

    Well Said. I will stand up for JY and Styx until Time Ceases to Exist. DDY did this to HIMSELF. I kept up on the court case between DDY and JY and besides Observer being a Dick, so is DDY. The original Styx is Never going to happen. And I think it is FRICKIN AWESOME that there are Brothers in Styx once again. Who gives a 💩 where they came from. As far as JY being Too Old 😮 JY said in an interview not long ago that they will have to SCRAPE HIM OFF THE STAGE! That man is in REALLY good health at 74 . I've been a Styx fan since 72 and I stand by My Guys!!! TY for standing up for them too.

    • @Deborahtunes

      Agree with you. If Dennis hadn't tried to sue the band, maybe they would've allowed him to tour again later on. As you said, DDY did this to himself. His fans also ignores that DeYoung seems no longer perform in front of live audiences anymore. So how are they expecting Dennis to tour with Styx again? Personally I'm fine with the way things are in the band...

He trully is "a Wizard and a True Star" to all of us.

Personally I liked the more rockin' aspect of Styx music....Renegade, Blue Collar man....

      That doesn't match up to what happened at the time. The KWH porject was a one off project. The others in the band, especially JY agreed to do the project as long as the next album would go back to the types of albums they had been doing as well as Dennis agreeing to do a "Greatest Hits" stadium tour to follow their next project. All of these past issues Tommy and JY cite regarding their choice to replace Dennis never came up when they were doing the '96/'97 tours.

    Although I had been listening to Styx since their debut my first Styx Concert was the 'Cornerstone' Tour. It was a great concert but as far as the album was concerned even though it had the #1 hit 'Babe' I still thought the album itself was a let down coming off of the previous 2 albums, 'Grand Illusion' & 'Pieces of Eight'. The Song 'First Time' was at the time when I first heard it & is still to me a god-awful song from Dennis DeYoung and I still dislike it to this day. I'll be bold and say it's one of their worst songs that they ever recorded much like IMO 'Love', Touchin', Squeezin' by Journey is their worse ever recorded song. But, that same year I saw Foreigner and to be honest, they blew Styx away as far as a Concert. But, that's me at that time and from what I can remember. Great Drummers of all time - Neal Peart (Rush), Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater)
