STYX has a lot of great songs. Try "Grand Illusion", "The Best Of Times", "Fooling Yourself", "Crystal Ball", "Lady" and "Boat On The River".
Yes! Grand Illusion!!!
So true. Crystal ball is one of my fav. Thanks for mentioning lady with me I really want them to listen to that one
Queen of Spades, Snowblind, Miss America…
Don't forget "Lights". Ahhh! Onw of my favorite songs ever!
Snowblind
Out of all the Styx songs you haven't done yet, my favorite is "Fooling Yourself." "Blue Collar Man", and "Lady" are also great as well.
3 of my faves!!
@@DizzLexic Me too....and Crystal Ball. I absolutely love that song.
And Miss America.
Dennis DeYoung put out a video right at the beginning of the pandemic singing The Best of Times. I HIGHLY recommend watching it. He still has it.
Thank you for mentioning lady as I did they really need to listen to that one
I’m 67 years old. I love witnessing young people discovering past music that was iconic in the day. So fun. This song I have pinned as my oldest son’s theme song of life. 😂
awesome!!
I’m 66 and agree 100% with you
I’ve known Tommy Shaw for 32 years now. We met in 1990 through a mutual friend and we wrote the song “keeping me alive“ together. When I met Tommy STYX had broken up years earlier and he embarked on a solo career which was short-lived. In 1991 he started the project Damn Yankees with Ted Nugent and Jack blades from night Ranger I forget the drummers name he was a young guy and really amazing. The only thing that’s bigger than Tommy’s talent is his humanity. He is truly one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. I’ve seen him do things for complete strangers even show up at someone’s wedding that he only met once to play a song for them. 🕊❤️🎼
I love hearing things like this. Not only is Tommy Shaw an amazing musician but also apparently an amazing human being.
I have heard Tommy Shaw called the nicest man in Rock and Roll. This just reinforces that even more. I love this!
In my humble opinion? He's a very underrated talent! Huge vocals, awesome guitar!
Not what I’ve read and heard about Tommy. He must have 2 personalities.🙄😁
This is what the cool kids call a Tommy Shaw STYX song. The ballads.... Dennis DeYoung , the Rockers.... Tommy Shaw, that's how they did it.
Mr. Roboto was kind of a rocker
I truly hope they listen and react to Crystal Ball...another awesome with lead singer Tommy Shaw.
Generally correct, but there's always exceptions. And don't forget James Young's songs like Miss America and Midnight Ride. Consistently rockers.
Dennis DeYoung put out a video right at the beginning of the pandemic singing The Best of Times. I HIGHLY recommend watching it. He still has it.
Lead singer Tommy Shaw is similar to Joe Walsh and the Eagles. Once they joined their respective bands any new easy listening songs suddenly took a back seat to pure rock & roll. As usual a great choice. 👍👍❣️
Styx are ridiculously talented, there were actually 3 vocalists in the band, but Dennis and Tommy were the most prolific. Never let Tommy’s little baby face fool ya. Great singer and guitarist.
Loved Tommy w/ Ted Nugent in the band Damn Yankees. Not just kickass music but one of the greatest band
names ever
I just saw Styx & REO Speedwagon in concert last month & both KILLED IT!!!! It was truly amazing at their age they perform at such a level. It was like singing all my childhood songs that I normally sing in my car alone w/ 20,000 other people!! Great band!!!!
I saw that show in Akron! Awesome show!
Two of the iconic sounds of the early '80s
I'm so envious!!
Yes, I agree that STYX had a lot of great songs! I am 60 years old and grew up with STYX and REO, but to be honest, STYX is not truly STYX without Dennis’ amazing voice!
Those “plastic tubes” you are referring to with the drums are called Octobans . They are melodically tuned in sets of eight (hence the name) and they are also referred to as “tube toms.” They have a unique sound similar to a regular tom tom but higher pitched.
Styx is amazing
Suite Madame Blue, Lady, and Crystal Ball are definitely my favorites, but they have so many great songs!🔮
Must do the live version of Suite Madame Blue though, Dennis kills it on that one. Just amazing.
@@jcbass2u Great song. Dennis has one of the best voices ever.
Always loved the line, ". . .I've got plenty of friends, and the fun never ends. That is as long as I'm buyin" ".
"dozens of friends.."
@@ericjahoda2997 Yeah, good catch. I get it wrong even when I'm singing along. Always have.🥴
One of my earliest memories of this song is playing it on the juke box at a restaurant when I was a kid :)
Tommy shaw sings lead on this one. The level of talent that came out of the 70s and 80s is unreal.
After these years of not hearing this song, I still sang every word of this song with them!
This lead singer is Tommy Shaw. Tommy later formed Damn Yankees with Jack Blades of Night Ranger, Ted Nugent of The Amboy Dukes, and drummer Michael Cartellone of Lynyrd Skynyrd. I saw them in 1976 and it was the loudest concert I ever saw! Tommy did something interesting: He came into the spotlight & introduced a song, he had written, before he became successful and was down & out. It was called "Crytal Ball" and revealed his concerns about his unknown future. This is a very emotional and moving song, and still gives me goosebumps. Please react to Crytal Ball.
Thanks for reminding me of Jack's name from night ranger I forgot in my comment earlier
I didn't know about the drummer being from Lynyrd Skynyrd. Another cool band that Jack Blades is in is Revolution Saints. Also Doug Aldridge of Whitesnake, along with Deen Castronovo that was in Journey for years are in it. He sounds like Steve Perry, too, but with his own sound. It's a great sounding band. I really like the song, "Light In The Dark".
They definitely need to do some Damn Yankees!
Yes please do Damn Yankees ",Can You Take Me High Enough"...with a great solo guitar by Ted Nugent ...gotta do the video
@@rebeccawyse5562 yes!
Fun fact. Dennis DeYoung was a public school music teacher before Styx secured a record deal. Also, Babe was a huge hit when my hubby and I began dating back in high school. It’s still our song to this day❤️❤️
Tommy Shaw, Lead guitar and vocals, all of his songs rocked
From the same album, "Rockin' the Paradise", "Snow Blind" and " Best of Times" are all great tunes worth a reaction.
Facts
And Snowblind has James "JY" Young on vocals
Ah, my favorite band in high school. Love them. Tommy Shaw is the lead singer in this one. This whole album, Paradise Theater, is one of their better ones.
I noticed this just as I was about to recommend Rockin' The Paradise and Half-Penny, Two-Penny.
I still have mine, tho the hologram has faded.
My 2nd favorite album aft The Doors Greatest Hits
Styx had it all! a Balladeer and Rockers all in One!
Great react Jay and Amber. Styx is so underrated - why they aren't in the Rock Hall makes no sense. If you haven't seen it, check out Styx playing live with the Contemporary Youth Orchestra. The kids add an amazing element to Styx's songs. The band obviously loved it, and the young musicians were inspired and excited to be playing with Tommy and the boys.
Styx is awesome! I suggest Crystal Ball. Such a great song vocally, lyrically, and musically.
I second that.
Third. lol
"Crystal Ball is my 3rd favorite Styx track. Ever since I was a teenager, "CB" has held a special place in my heart. It was my 'go to' tune whenever life wasn't going so well, {which was often}...
Love this song. Love Tommy Shaw- he looked like he was 22 for 30 years! Next Styx should be “Don’t Let It End” a slower side of Styx.
The best concert I ever went to was REO Speedwagon, Styx and Journey. Epic!
Styx Have Some Good Jams
This was posted on social media a lot when Covid hit and we were all shut down and home. A humorous way of dealing with the crisis. This is one of my favorite Styx songs!
One of the things that gets overlooked in all the goodness of Styx is their song writing. Some great word twists and turns are in their songs.
The rhythm section is so tight because the bassist and the drummer were twins. No kidding. John and Chuck Panozzo.
"Snow Blind", "Crystal Ball" and "Half Penny, Two Penny" are three great songs that show sides of Styx you still haven't seen. They're great.
"The Best of Times" is one of their best songs and one of their biggest hits. Dennis DeYoung sings that song and it's such a pretty song. It came out in 1981, the same year as this song. "The Best of Times" would be great to review and I hope they do review it.
Yes do that one please
You have to watch the whole video of Styx live with the Contemporary Youth Orchestra and Chorus of Cleveland and I guarantee you will fall in love with Styx
Yes Best of time is a great song!
Styx is one of those bands where multiple members could be the "front man" depending on which song you're listening to. This happened a lot in the 70's. The ultimate example would be Fleetwood Mac, but it was all over the place back then.
In terms of their next biggest song you haven't done yet, that'd be "Blue Collar Man."
Chicago too
Pink Floyd, Kiss, and Grand Funk Railroad also come to mind.
Styx: "Rocking the Paradise"
About six years ago I saw Dennis Deyoung live in Los Angeles. It was a small venue and the concert was being recorded. Dennis had decided that times were tough and asked that all tickets be sold for $5 a piece! He is a class act.
" The grand illusion" by STYX is an awesome song about how fame is really just a house of cards.
Tommy Shaw is singing lead on this one.You should react to Tommy Shaws other band Damn Yankees.It has Ted Nugent and Jack Blades(Night Ranger) in the band and they have some great songs.You would love the songs Come again and High Enough
Loved the Damn Yankees! All their songs are awesome!! Coming of age is a great one also they need to check out!
Cool you commented with the damn Yankees too they must listen that combo with Ted Nugent
Don’t forget “Silence is Broken” and “Where You Goin’ Now”! Tommy Shaw and Jack Blades paired up as well and had a couple hits, though I admit I’m blanking on what they were at this point. But ABSOLUTELY check out Damn Yankees!
Styx is still
Performing. If you get a chance SEE THEM! They still rock!!!
GRAND ILLUSION
I saw them about a week ago with loverboy and REO Speedwagon. Everyone was singing this song and having so much fun. Great reaction! 😁
Everyone but Dennis DeYoung :(
@@DerekDominoes yeah 😔
Yea Dennis is def missed at vocals😩
Oh wow. What a great lineup!
Loverboy should retire.........Styx was great as usual.......I think REO played every song they ever made !
Styx was really two bands in one --- the Dennis DeYoung version and the Tommy Shaw version depending on who wrote and sang a particular piece. For more of the Tommy Shaw version listen to Fooling Yourself, Renegade, Blue Collar Man and Boat on the River.
I love this band!
Styx Live is PHENOMENAL. Sounds straight out of the booth and the showman ship I've only seen matched by Weird Al, and the audience involvement only rivaled by Green Day. Such a fun show.
They sound just as good on stage as studio. A great band. ☮💚🎶
I always say that of Styx. That their songs are completely different sounding to the last one! That's what makes them so good!
Styx and the contemporary youth orchestra.
One of the best concerts ever.
The drummer in this video is John Panozzo and he is Rockin' In Paradise now, but answering your question, the long acrylic drums are called Dragon Drums. Much like Octobans, but cut longer. They sound amazing on Castle Walls off the Grand Illusion record. You can also see them on the Borrowed Time video.
Definitely one of my favorite Styx songs. I think this make five Styx songs you've done, and you've only scratched the surface. "Lady" is a classic from their early years, as is "Blue Collar Man". From their 80s discography you can react to "The Best of Times", "Don't Let It End", or "Show Me the Way". You can also branch off if you like and do some Styx members' solo stuff, like Dennis DeYoung's "Desert Moon" or Tommy Shaw's "Girls With Guns". BTW, it was Dennis who did the lead vocals on most of the songs you've reacted to... but it was Tommy this time.
It's a good one. Half Penny Two Penny has one of the best Sax outros ever.
"Girls with Guns" is a really fun song. The video was great too.
I wish they would do Desert Moon. Especially with the official video. One of my favorites.
Love the version of “Girls with Guns” that Tommy does with CYO!
And Tommy Shaw's "What If (Remo's Theme)", which was the theme song from the movie "Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins" - a fun movie, but didn't did well at the box office. It was supposed to be the first in a series of movies based on the long running book series "The Destroyer" by Warren Murphy. Remo is a cop that was framed and sentenced to death. His death is faked and he is trained as an assassin for a secret government organization. Anyway, I digress. The song was great.
You need to hear them really rock out. Try "Queen of Spades", "Blue Collar Man" and the Trippy "Castle Walls"!
So cool you're the only other one so far that brought up the song castle walls one of my tops by styx. You have great taste
Love Castle Walls! I think that's where John Carpenter got the theme for Halloween 🎃
Yea not many people know Castle Walls because it wasn't played over and over on the radio due to its length. Only true Styx fans know that one. ; )
My favorite song of theirs is: Show Me The Way. It is a wonderful song and has definitely stood the test of time.
"Don't let it end" is one of my favorite Styx ballads... 💞
This is one of the best performances I've ever seen in concert! Tommy Shaw was killing it when he did this song. And hey, he lived in the next town over, Niles MI, around the early 80's. (You also heard Tommy sing lead on Renegade)
I didn't know that he had a home in Michigan! Is that how he and Ted got together? I grew up in Clarkston in the late 70s and 80s. Bob Seger had a home there then.
@@theresatrapp4532 I don't know how they got together, but I'm glad they did. 😁 Yeah, he had a place in Niles, all those years ago. lol. Bob Seger, now there's a singer!
Tommy Shaw is singing in this song....and he still rocks it at concerts
So so many great songs from these guys! Yep 3 different singers.
From this album..."Rockin' The Paradise" & "The Best Of Times" are musts, and were the other big hits from the album, but I also love "Lonely People". Other Styx songs: "Show Me The Way", "Don't Let It End", "Blue Collar Man", "Lady", and "Suite Madame Blue" are also amazing. Tommy Shaw is the vocalist on this one.
I love ‘Snowblind’
What about Lorelei? A great song but pretty much forgotten these days
Rockin' the Paradise is the one. Love that whole album, but that's the one that knocks me out every time.
I think you would both love "Lady", and J would certainly love "Suite Madame Blue". Tommy Shaw is on lead vocals on "Too much time on my hands".
Yes lady they need to listen to
Ok so the guy singing is Tommy Shaw who started and Super group with the singer from Night Ranger and Ted Nugget called “Damn Yankees “ !!! Really I know you will love it!! They came out in the 90s!!
High Enough
Come Again
Mystified
Damn Yankees
Tell Me How you Want It
Another group that are great to see in person...Love them...
This song takes me back to cruising the strip with my friends and hanging out! I do wish you guys could have experienced the 80's. It was the BEST time to be a teenager. There's never been another decade with such a vast array of different musical instruments and synth beats that is now iconic. I hope that with discovering this music now you guys get a feel for what the 80's were about and how much fun was had by those of us who experienced it first hand. ❤
Didn't I make out with you in the back of my Chevrolet?
'The Best of Times' is a great ballad with just awesome vocals!
It’s so cheesy but so awesome.
I loved The Best of Times! It was a great song for cruising around town!!!
Not all bands sound as good live as in the studio, but Styx always does!
Crystal Ball is my favorite Styx song. I love Miss America, Suite Madame Blue, Snowblind, Renegade, Show Me The Way, so many!
FYI- The story behind "Babe" was that it was NOT to be recorded by /for STYX. Dennis wrote it for his wife. On her birthday, he performed it to her at a private party. He was badgered into recording it after the band agreed it was too good not to. The 'wandering;' keyboard intro was actually DeYoung playing around on a new electronic piano which he'd never tried before. He didn't know recording had begun. Crazy.
Excellent and right on the$$$$$
The best part of this video is when Jimmy Fallon & Paul Rudd recreated it shot for shot for the Tonight Show 😂
Jimmy Fallon isn't funny
Desert Moon and Girls with Guns. Something else to check out when they went solo.
Great band! My all time favorite by this group is 'Come Sail Away', also 'Babe', 'Blue Collar Man,' 'Lorelie' (which I think you've already heard, not sure" and many more.
Love this song. From 1981, their only Top 10 that Tommy Shaw wrote and sang on.
Guitarist J.Y. Young also sings lead on a few songs, including Snowblind.
Dennis DeYoung parted ways with the band for good in 1999. Lawrence Gowan joined and took over Dennis' vocal parts and he remains with them today.
Lawrence Gowan, 🇨🇦, who had his own career before joining Styx and they let him do some of his own songs that were hits here in 🇨🇦!! Or at least they do when they tour 🇨🇦!!! 😂😂😂
@@allenosborne1201 👍Typo. Fat Fingers. 🤣fixed.
My daughters high school band preformed this song for a UIL competition…they got 1s they won! She was the color guard, and did the flags for this
You had to be there. 70s/80s were a glorious time. Totally different world.
That's Tommy Shaw singing. For the next one, try "Fooling Yourself" or "Boat on the River". In 'Boat on the River' video, I was pleasantly surprised to see them play an accordion and a mandolin. It sounds awesome.
"Boat On The River" is one of my favorites!
Paradise Theater and Grand Illusion are my favorite Styx albums. Paradise is great beginning to end! FyI if you also want to hear some of James Young’s lead singing, then react to “Snowblind” from this album, and Miss America from Grand Illusion.
Snow blind by James a total must hear
I love BABE !!! THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL SONG BY STYX.
The Best Of Times ,,, and Lady. Must listen
Just saw Styx last night in concert and can happily report that Tommy Shaw still sounds amazing. He and James Young’s guitar playing was outstanding as well. Definitely worth seeing if you have the chance.
Awesome song I love it! The cool thing is that my wife just saw them live in Nashville Monday night! They still got, loud and proud! Thanks for all your hard work and keeping great music alive.
I'll echo the requests for Styx's "Lady" - powerful ballad, amazing vocals...
I've been pushing for lady myself
YES!!! Finally, a Tommy Shaw lead vocal!!! Love him! Love you guys too!!
I had the pleasure of hanging out with these guys in the hotel bar after their concert. I was their contact for anything they needed while they stayed there (I worked for the front desk). Nicest guys EVER! One of them kept sneaking into the DJ Booth and would take out any Styx CDs in there, because they didn't want to hear their own music while trying to relax and enjoy some drinks.
Timeless song and this will always be a great video. They had a great sense of humor. And Tommy Shaw's first guitar solo is fire.
Styx was one of my favorite bands. I loved the mister Roboto concert. The whole paradise theater album is great. It was also “holographic”. I still have the album from the early 80s. Pieces of 8 was another great album.
Ooh, I forgot the record was holographic!
I have that holographic album I keep it safe
@@scorpius6568 my cousin got it for his birthday. He showed it to me, and I was in awe! There’s no telling what he did with it, though.
My first concert, 1982, was for Styx and this album. You never forget your first :)
I got dozens of friends and the fun never ends….that is as long as I’m buying! 😂😂😂😂
"Suite Madame Blue" is a must. Love to see you do all of the "Paradise Theater" album from 1981, but that doesn't seem to be your thing. What you're doing is great! Love it!
My favorite group ever! This is a great song! They are a deep hole! Check out the songs Grand Illusion, Crystal Ball and Little Suzie! Tommy Shaw is singing this song!
Little Suzie?
@@ScottKornfeld Yep, it is on their Greatest Hit Part 2. Tommy Shaw sings it.
@@CB-gr1uk That IS a good song and I was happy to find I could get it as an MP3 single since I already have most of the others. Thanks for the tip!
@@CB-gr1uk That IS a good song and I was happy to find I was able to get it as an mp3 single as I already have most of the others. Thanks for the tip!
@@ScottKornfeldYW! It is one of their best. I never heard it on the radio, not sure they ever put it out as a single but they should have. Enjoy!
I've been lucky enough to see Styx twice. What always amazed me is when you hear Styx on the radio it's always a ballad, a "slow" song, but in concert they are heavy metal. I remember Tommy Shaw (the singer in this song) stepping up to the mike and saying " when I was in highschool and got home I'd start playing my guitar and my dad would come in and say turn that damn thing down!!! Right then and there I decided that when I was older I'd play my guitar any damn way I wanted." Then they started playing this song.
🙂
I LOVE this , my favorite Styx song.
More Styx! Awesome stuff! Keep the 80's reactions coming.
I remember seeing this video on MTV when it first went on the air. As a little kid, I thought it was hilarious! This is one of my mom’s favorite bands so I grew up on Styx. The two other bands she couldn’t get enough of were Foreigner and Journey. I grew up listening to many different genres of music but rock from the early 80’s was my mom’s JAM! 😂 Great video, you two! 🥰
Let's not forget Kansas! When someone asks about "the oldies" I say all 4 of these band names!
My "oldies" anyway...they all hit when I was a teen. Boston, Bon Jovi, and Fleetwood Mac all get honorable mentions too
You want HILARIOUS? Watch the Paul Rudd - Jimmy Fallon version!!!
ruclips.net/video/Xu2xVG_utRs/видео.html
@@monkeysuncle2816 Oh! I have! It’s fantastic! They have it down. I could watch this repeatedly. Thanks for the link! 😂👍
Foreigner and Styx yeah!!!
My favourite Styx song finally. Great pick me up song, one of those that you gotta crank it up and sing loudly along with it.
Ohhhhh that is Tommy Shaw on lead vocals! I am very proud that Tommy Shaw is from my hometown (Montgomery, AL)! Styx is an amazing band and I'm so glad that y'all discovered them!
Styx is a great band with two amazing vocalists: Tommy Shaw and Dennis DeYoung! They have so many great songs to choose from, and I recommend you check out these next: Guitarist Tommy Shaw sang lead on "Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)", and "Sing For The Day". Keyboard player Dennis DeYoung sang lead on "Lady" and "The Grand Illusion".
Actually they have 3 amazing vocalist . The other guitarist James Young also does lead on some songs like Miss America from THe Grand Illusion and Half Penny-Two Penny from Paradise Theater.
@@robertgreen6433 Thanks! I didn't realize he sang those. The whole band is top notch!
I think it's great you I and several others are pushing for lady it's a must listen
Also Snowblind and Heavy Metal Poisoning, as I recall.
If you could see them in concert, the level of audience involvement is unmatched by any band playing today. I think you can still see these guys playng smaller venues. There is a concert video that aired on PBS about 8 or 10 years ago. If you can find it, you'll see what I'm talking about. These former fans showed up with their children and their families to sing along with these guys.
I absolutely love them. There will never be another STYX.
You're right on. Brought my son around 10 years ago to see them and again a couple years ago. They still are fantastic!
@@alkronlage5236 Awesome!! Loved your reply.
umm, yeah. Just saw them recently in a "small venue" of around 20,000. They were fantastic!
@@LifeLivedThruMusic No need to be "sarcastic", BJ.
They are one of those band that have a unique sound like many groups back then you would hear it for the first time on the radio and know who it was.
I graduated in 1979, Caribou, Maine. "Come Sail Away" is our class song!!!
If memory serves, they were the first band to go triple platinum three times in a row. Amazing live.
Back in 2017 Styx played at our local “Spiedie Fest and Balloon Rally” here in Binghamton, NY. After the concert the band members came to the club where my boyfriend’s band was playing. Needless to say they sat in with his band (“Splash”) and jammed. They did Their hit Renegade it was very memorable and yes the band members were great guys! Good times!
Awesome!! what a great experience and memory to have...😎
Tommy said he wrote this song in about 10 minutes. He heard the bass rhythm on the radio on his way to the studio. He had Chuck Panazzo lay down the bass beat and monkeyed with the rest of it and they recorded it in only two takes and it was in the bank.
They're currently touring with REO Speedwagon and Loverboy
Can't go wrong with styx I am ,60 an I grew up jamming too all Classic rock bands from 60's 70's 80's 90's AND STILL ALL THESE SONG'S BRING BACK SO MANY MEMORIES
Love to see you two rocking to Styx. Several other songs that I recommend, "Grand Illusion", "Suite Madam Blue", "Rockin' The Paradise", "Best of Times", and "Blue Collar Man".
Yes suite maddam blue please!!!!
I heard this song earlier today and at the time thought it would be a good song for the Rob Squad to play. Quite a coincidence. Suite Madame Blue, Sail Away and Lady are also favorites of mine
I rode around playing this on my 8-track player, blasting it! I love Styx❤
I saw Styx in 1978 & 1979, loved them so much that I took my son in 2009 & 2011. They were still SO GOOD!! What a show.
I love Styx! One of my favorite songs is Superstar! It is sung by Tommy Shaw, who also sang this one! There is a lyric in this song that speaks to EVERY person who has ever dreamed of being a famous rock star.... "and don't think I can't hear you calling from the shadows of the fourteenth row. Cause I've had the same dreams you have just a few short years ago, and that's why I know.... You..... and I, we will fly..... so high....we'll be, super stars... Wo, oh... You and I"....
Styx were a schizophrenic band with two distinct personalities, depending on who was singing lead, but the overall result was always good. ✌️
thats funny...and true...😂
