Styx

Post Reply New Topic

the band that gave me my name here I heard yesterday they are coming to my city in April and I am going (its my birthday present) I've already gotten to see the great Dennis Deyoung formally of Styx in concert
(he left in 1999)
originally it was
Dennis DeYoung-vocals/keyboards
James Young-vocals/guitar
Tommy Shaw-vocals/guitar
Chuck Panozzo-bass
John Panozzo-drums
though now its
Laurence Gowan-vocals/keyboards
James Young-vocals/guitar
Tommy Shaw-vocals/guitar
Ricky Phillips-bass/guitar*
Todd Sucherman-drums
Chuck Panozzo-bass*
(Chuck left the band in 1998 after getting AIDS, but recovered and turns up sometimes-when that happens Ricky Phillips goes on 3rd guitar, John Panozzo died in 1996, and was replaced though not forgotten)
But it should still be a treat-even if they don't play some of the songs I love...(Babe, Mr. Roboto, etc)

well that's my "rant"

The guy in the bottom right with the glasses doesn't really seem to fit in... he lacks hair compared to the rest of them.

Boy, that was random.

he always had short hair
Chuck always just stands beside the drummer
he wrote a book about his life
real good read

Well, he should grow it out.

not his thing
he's had short hair since 1973
plus he's like 60 years old now

They seem interesting. I've never heard their music before.

I'm just wondering why they're posed out behind the grocery store?
not making the big time anymore? playing those 'other' venues? lol

I was a big fan of Styxx back in the day

Cool!

Sounds like a great birthday present!!

Hope we get a report about how the concert went afterwards.

I wish that I could go to the concert with you.

you like Styx?

Yes.

do you have a favorite song

'Light' is a good one.

I also like 'The Story of Dr. Roberto'.

Roboto
and its called the Kilroy story
roboto is a robot that works and that Kilroy hides in
I love Lights too
Borrowed Time is another favorite

Too... much... hair...!

Must... reach... utility belt...! Grab clippers...!

(I love Styx; "Renegade" is one of the theme songs for my life.)
