I can't believe all the haters. TS is an absolute bad-ass entertainer, who got a very well-deserved break by getting the job with Styx. He made it, millions of others didn't. So what. That's the music industry. Anybody who can sing, play, and compose like this guy deserves all the recognition they get. And if any of you haters had as much talent maybe you'd be on stage, entertaining, instead of trolling for hatred.
Tommy is incredible, & humble...those are usually the types that such trolls target, Tommy is SO good, no negative word could ever touch him!
very well said
QUADRUPPLE TO THAT R B !!!!!!!! TOMMY IS SIMPLY AMAZING AS A GUITARIST , SINGER , SONG WRITER , FRONT GUITAR PLAYING MAN , AND JUST A WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING WITH NOT AN OUNCE OF EGO IN HIS LIL BODY !!!
Tommy sure was the best thing that ever happened to Styx. A fantastic songwriter. A fantastic voice.
I truly believe that without shaw, Styx wouldn't have gone as far as they did..., and then for the 83? album deyoung had this brilliant idea of Mr roboto which I'm sure Shaw wanted no part of which may be why they haven't made the hall of fame.. Deyoung was stirring the group in weird derections with what he thought was the right derection but ok maybe a few songs but Styx were all over the place.... I still say had Shaw had control of band derection they would have made the music Hall of fame years ago...... Deyoung was too theatrical in my opinion...🤔
Love Tommy Shaw, what a very cool guy!
Shaw is one of a kind. ❤👍✌😎
I love him! He is awesome!!! He may be little but he has the biggest presence of any guitar player!! He has nice hair MsCordially and nice everything. He is a DOLL!!
Tommy effin Shaw! This guy is a human music box. He's so musical that he burps harmony & farts melody. What an awesome body of work he's created!
Down to Earth & classy human being.
He is so true. As a yamaha C2 pianist,(because I am picky), that 12 string gets my attention and I cant get enough of it. So beautiful. Good grief! Tommy keep playing it.
My favorite Mr. Tommy Shaw 💕
TS seems very much like a regular guy. Back in the day I liked some of the Styx stuff but was never a huge fan. The video of him singing to his dog is priceless. Put the home collection to work.
I really enjoyed listening to Tommy. Great player & knows a lot about his guitars.
One of my favorite gtr players!
Tommy is a rock and roll God.
DMMETALMAN VENGEANCE TS is the best musician/singer/songwriter/guitar player that ever walked the face of the earth
What a great guy,just love him!
I just knew TS when his song can count on you hit so start to follow his concert all from his younger days up to now he is handsome gwapo
RIP Jimmy Johnson--he was Alex Lifeson’s guitar tech for many years (from their start up until the mid to late 90s).
Nice to see the gear breakdown, basic straight forward keeping it simple really delivers live!
it amazes me for him to say he is a fan of Neil young. HOW STRANGE that is to me.
Good to see Jimmy and get to hear him talk about his craft.
I THINK THAT HE IS AMAZING PLAYER H DOES A GREAT JOB LOVE'S WHAT HE DOES HE CREATES beautiful music
Tommy's the Man.
Tommy has nice hair
What a legend...
A true muscian .. thx tommy
I absolutely get the weight reduced guitar occasionally , Ha had several SG's , but , ran across a 64 Melody Maker that was to die for , reworked by guitar genius Jack Cassidy , tech from Stryper , That Guitar is such a pleasure to play . I put the Lester or the Explorer down , and , what a relief to grab up , sounds like thunder , despite the weight . Best of Luck Tommy , My Alabama Brother , ha , yea , just found that out , way cool
I agree, I like heavy too opposed to light guitars! Just feels more real, like he said!
RIP Jimmy,

From Styx FaceBook page
It is with profound sorrow that I am announcing my dear friend and right-hand man, guitar tech and inventor Jimmy Johnson, passed away in his hotel room in the early hours of the morning here today, July 24, 2019, on the Southern Coast of California. When he failed to show up for lobby call, fellow crewmembers contacted hotel management, broke into his room, and discovered him there.
Nice fella. What a top on that Les Paul! There are more flamed versions, but man, that looks right. :-)
Guitar tech: “We like to keep the effects Pretty simple”. Proceeds to ramble off at least 23 effects used by Tommy on stage.
I have a 78 cherry sunburst custom . It's a great guitar !!!! ;)
wow.. He bought a guitar on ebay. Incredible
Amazing story truly enjoy this video. One my favorte singer from Styx. Back my high school days listen to Styx. Truly enjoy your music.
Cool.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, this years winner of the Myles Kennedy look-alike contest.
That's a lotta love! I love my guitars. too, well um I probably love Tommy Shaw's guitars more now that he described them in so much detail...(lol) What is his beauty secret for staying so young looking? Can't be those Burger King stops, can it??
He's a vegetarian and his wife is his stylist.
Botox
He lived in LA for years. They know the secrets of youth there.😉
which book from Neil young did he read?
You figure that in a 20 minute video w/ Tommy Shaw holding a guitar that he might actually play the guitar .. nope :(
+a2zme lol
He probably didn't play it because the idiot host didn't ask him to play it. Blame the host or the producer because they are the ones who decide if the artist gets to sing or play anything.
I appreciate Tommy talking I want to hear everything he has to say the man is a fucking musical genius.
You want to hear him sing and play guitar there’s 10 million other videos on RUclips go watch him there but here he’s talking let the man speak!
PLEASE !!! Alguien que subtitule en español ,,, lo que dice " este Papi ".... 😍😘😘😍😘
I bet this cat interviewing them has no freakin' clue what Tommy and his tech are saying w/ that technical rundown lol! These veteran rockers are extremely knowledgeable about their gear.
I love Tommy Shaw, but I disagree about the heavy guitars. My back just can't handle heavy guitars. I have a couple of solid mahogany guitars that are back breakers, but rarely use them because they make my back ache after a couple of songs. They do sound great though.
+OrigGamster
Give me a Casino or the new ES-390 (both completely hollow w/no sound block down the center & incredibly light) and you've got incredible tone monsters!
I own both of them plus 40+ others. But the balls of a vintage LP is magic !!!
If you know your Styx history, chances are pretty good that J.Y. didn’t cause Tommy to smash that old guitar. It was probably having to play Dennis’s silly music. God bless the interviewer! LOL
Lol
What about Fenders and Johnsons
Interesting that such a great, well-respected and world-renowned player is playing stuff like a Digitech Bad Monkey, an array of Boss pedals and a Marshall amp anyone can buy. Just goes to show you don't have to spend a ton of money to sound great, if you're a great player you'll sound great through just about anything.
+Amid the Fight
Playing the guitar is about 25% your gear. The other 75% is in your hands, your touch & the musical/emotional sensitivity you can convey with them...
what is the guitar tommy is holding
CoDWikiTMOI Gibson Les Paul "Standard" but it is actually a custom with whammy bar. TS Customzed it to his own personal prefrence so its is actually a Gibby Les paul custom
+Fvkin Amazed sure buddy talking out of your ass again, take it easy troll
+Fvkin Amazed doesn't matter, TS is not trash, he is a rock n roll beast, he has the best voice, and can play guitar like a beast. so u obviously don't listen to him much
+Anthony Galbo I completely agree. He is one of the greatest guitarists and lead singers of the 70's.
You're so adorable... xD You think you know everything.
THE NECK SNAP SUCKS,I LEARNED IN 75, FOR ME ITS BOLT ON,JUST A MATTER OF PREFERENCE.
Hi def sound in a locker room.
Hey Tommy,don`t get me wrong, I LOVE you dude and you are incredibly awesome and talented! But how is it possible for you to be hired by Dennis De Young,basically the creator and originator of Styx,and years later to be fired by you? I understand that the band went in different directions and his "Theatrical" road was different than your and JY`s intention. But look at where his vision has gotten you to! Dennis was the show in the 70`s .ya gotta admit he had serious talent! Sad to see so many talented bands break up due to artistic differences! Supertramp,comes to mind among others! You guys keep rocking though! I gotta give you that! Ever think about maybe bringing him back to do a reunion concert? Put it on DVD, make a few million more? Just a thought!
Well, DDY did great a bit out there with Mr Roboto stuff. I can understand why TS and the other members thought WTF is he doing??
Tommy Shaw is a better singer than Dennis DeYoung
Dennis pretty much neutralized his guitarists to compose commercial soft pop. They get on fine without him.
You have your history wrong. DDY wanted to go bigger into rock opera with bigger and more expensive shows. Something that the band did not want to do. Shaw wanted to do more arena rock style music with an edgier sound. Shaw decided to go solo in 1983, but stayed for one more album. DDY decided to go solo in 1984. They both left Styx in 1984. They planned a reunion in 1990, but Shaw had other obligations, so couldn't join then. They had a successful tour in 1991, then the band broke up. JY formed his own group, DDY did Jesus Christ Superstar. Some of them got together to do their GHv1 album. Styx reformed and did limited tours with various members after that.
Is he in a jail cell? Tell me it aint so Tommy!
+bombshell42701 lol, exactly what I was thinking Bomb. Who picked this location?
LOL...does look like it
That damn Dr righteous got Jonathan Chance in Prison! Time to break some Roboto heads!
He's in a bunker hiding from Kilroy or DDY, whichever might find him first.
I cringed every time I hear heard his ring or beltbuckle hit his guitar lol
As a self proclaimed 1 percenter Tommy shouldn't tell stories about getting things free based on his celebrity
he's a tiny guy....still a kid 😮
