Styx !

[mtnmedic]

Well I actually had a fun saturday for a change. a friend of mine invited me to go see Styx at the casino lastnight, damn glad I decieded to stop by ! there where LOTS of fine looking ladies and even went back stage. we where the next two people in line to meet the band, and get a picture with them too, but their manager is a tool pouch !!! he wouldn't let the band sign any autographs and told us to split. im glad I got to finally see them in my lifetime, they sounded just great and really put on a show. worth checking them out if you get a chance.

Re: Styx !

Styx rocks. My band is going to cover one of their songs.

Tom Sawyer... even 20..30 years later that song still sounds great.

Re: Styx !

lol! Styx, Boston, Foreigner. All good bands from the 70's, and those were some pretty wild times.

Re: Styx !

Re: Styx !

Hey Mick, was kinda wondering where you where at. yeah, we get all the ol' skool guys over here on the coast. I missed Cheap Trick, who was also a blast from what my bro Chris tells me an shown me pic of. But ol' JJY and Tommy Shaw and the boys jus really had a good time and jammed with us. But I'll tell y'all what,..when they started "Lady"...I sang but a couple verses, and about welled up with tears. jus something about it that song that,..how can I explain,..moves me... sucks being alone. Anyway, it was a big surprise to me to get invited last minute, seeing a killer stadium quality show in a living room environment ! and then be just steps away from shaking hands and really meeting these guys I only had seen in pictures,..Icons. No biggie,...we where almost there, and didn't come home trashed. (grin)

Re: Styx !

i was never a styx fan, saw them five years ago, in a line up with reo, and a couple others from that era, they were fantastic live, an incredible show, great sounds, excellent vocals, they rocked

Re: Styx !

Did they play "First Time" from their Cornerstone Album? Thats the ballad i liked. Never got much airplay tho. There were so many bands during that time period it would be hard to list them all.

No, I dont believe so. they did Sail Away, Lorali, Miss America, Blue Collar man, Lady, Too much time on my hands, a mix of some others all in one, and a new ballad. their original bass player came on a did a couple of songs with them too. I wasn't a big fan either, but till I seen Reo and Styx live, that kinda changed my mind. they really looked like they where having a goodtime and jammed ! no drunken fights, no barricades and no a$$hole security pushing people around.

Re: Styx !

Re: Styx !

Not sure Mick, everyone was there cept their original drummer.

[mick-G]

Re: Styx !

The original drummer was John Panozzo and Dennis DeYoung was keyboards and vocals and was the frontman and founder. He wrote many of the songs. If gonna see if i can find out is DeYoung is still with them and what exactly happened.
