A Tribute to STYX COLLABORATION - Come sail away
HTML-код

- When David invited me to mix and add some synths to this project, I couldn´t imagine how much work it is and how much time this collaboration would take ... if I am not mistaken it was almost 18 months now. But on the end what counts is the result and I can proudly say, it was worth the effort.
Some of the musicians might be already quite familiar to my subscribers and friends ... Matt (drums, video) and Pat (guitars) from two of my Kansas collabs, Donn (bass) from another Kansas Collab. With Len (vocals) and David (keys) I worked the first time but hopefully not the last time, they are both very talented guys, It was a pleasure to work with them. I wanna say thank you here for their dedicated and hard work to make this project happen.
David dedicated this project to his childhood friend PJ, so I want to respectfully mention it here on my upload too.
The team:
Matt ( / weazeravalon ) - drums video editing
Pat ( / versevisa ) - guitars
David ( / cast412 ) - piano, organ synths
Donn ( / donn713 ) - bass
Len ( / justsingit72 ) - vocals
Richie ( / rushyeskansas ) - synths, audio mix, intro & outro videos

Bob
Was my pleasure and an honor for me too, Len ... we definetely will work together again my friend!
Matt, your work was not less important than mine, you are our clockwork on the drums, the groove which made all of us sound like a unit and furthermore your creativity when it comes to the video editing was simply fabulous. Always a pleasure to work with you too, thanx my friend.
Thank you Georgios ... very much appreciated!
Thank You Richie! I'm glad I can return the favor of being 1st to comment. A few years back you were my 1st subscriber. I am very honored to have performed this with you and this special group of musicians. This was an awesome journey back to my High School days.. Lots of memories.
Hey Richie,
Brilliant playing my friend ! An amazing performance from you on this classic Styx song!
Much respect, fantastic sound!!!
Cheers,
Bob
Once again...GREAT JOB! Really awesome stuff! :)
It would be so cool for you guys to do a "Behind the scenes" video of just how you put all these things together. VERY INSPIRING!! :)
That was the best cover of any song I've ever heard
David ... the pleasure was all mine. When I saw you playing the first time, I knew that you would end up as a wanted musician here on YT .. and this was just the beginning my friend.
Tolles Video - ganz ehrlich gesagt eines der besten Videos die ich je auf RUclips gesehen habe. Die Songauswahl ist kaum zu überbieten und ihr alle habt euch selbst übertroffen. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich der Sänger, den ich vorher nie gesehen habe. Hut ab :)
Richie, you guys hit a home run with this one. The audio production was superb and the keyboard work was perfection. It doesn't get much better than this one. Congrats to all and a great team!
This was simply fantastic! Great mix, great video, and great performances. Richie, as always, you nailed everything; sounds, notes, and delay times! I'll be watching this quite a few times and looking forward to the next one!
Hey Richie, thank you for the Herculean effort on your synth parts and the final mix. The amount of labor you put into this and your attention to detail is astounding!!! You've outdone yourself yet again and I'm just happy I could be a part of this.
Thank YOU Donn, you know best, I just can be as good as my bandmates allow me to be and you guys deliver me with the best, so I also can do my best to top the thing off ... no more no less ... glad that I could work with you again Bro!
I loved this I can't stip listening to it
Amazing job everyone! Well worth the time and effort, Rich. Some things just can't be rushed, and get this level of professional perfectionism.
Back again ! Fantastic !
Bob
Thanks Bob for coming back again!
top notch.....from the best on youtube ......love the keyboards.......I like how you kept the keyboards the same as the original.....true respect to the original composer !!
I love how some of your lines are more pronounced than the original.....
Dave .
Thanks a lot Dave ...this is a big compliment coming from a pro musician like you. How Wayne would say ... "we are not worthy" ... LOL!!!!
wow Richie. There was nothing for months and suddenly 2 ultra mega cool videos at the same day ! What a super collab with great musicians. dude ! You rule !!!
Thanks a lot Steve, it counts double when it comes from a pro like you!
Thanks ... yeah, really a good idea, I will think about it.
Hi Richie - Bravo! This is one of the finest music collaborations on RUclips! You are all outstanding musicians! :)
Thank you my friend. I like Styx, especially the harder and more prog stuff... but this is also a beautiful tune.
Thanks again Ron ... looking forward to finally finish our common project too!
Incredible work by all.
Thank you so much Drew ... this nice comment coming from "the best-one-man-styx-underwater-tribute-band ever" means really a lot to us, Apart from this ... we need 6 people to do, what you can do alone ... so who is fantastic now? LOL!!!
Hey Richie, what can i say? You're the man!! Monster chops and a fricken audio ninja behind the control desk! It was a true pleasure working with you again!
Thank you Rogelio, we all feel honored about your comment!
Thanx Fish, we appreciate your nice comment. Greetz from Bahia, Brazil.

Hey Richie! Überraschend gute Arbeit. Die Qualität ist super!!! Ich habe es wirklich genossen!!! Danke!!!
Great job, guys! Congrats to all...

We always try to give our best, thanx buddy!
Thank you Dave, glad you liked it. I think at the end I had about 40 audio tracks in my cubase project ... just the keys had around 15 or so ... if you want a big sound ... you need big effort and big effort takes big time ... LOL!!! that´s what I learned from this project.
Excellent job guys! I love it!!!!
Thanks a lot Steve ... glad you liked it!
