Great song! There are only 2 kinds of music, good and bad, and you can't discuss taste. Sadly though many very talented artists sell their souls to an industry that is only motivated by profit. I disagree with the comments stating there isn't any good music today, you all just haven't been looking in the right place. Music has evolved incredibly in the last 30 years, for an example, take a look at my 'amazing guitar' playlist, open minded people will not regret it.
.....real musicians will appreciate this band ~ posers will not. Real music afficionado's can find brilliance in every genre of music. Those with limited sonic IQ's will only lock on to one style and proclaim it above all others as the only music worthy of being created and listened to. Example: there's only two kinds of music, "country & western." LOL
@waveryder74 You said it!! I can't stand those close minded people, and it's obvious it's all about keeping up their 'tough guy' persona. It just proves that age rarely equals maturity.
This band brings back such great memories! LOVE LOVE LOVE them! I used to rock to them in the late 70's & the 80's and now my young adult kids rock to them and many other bands from that era. LOVE it!
@lsmjan Yeah - Unfortunately he thought so too (and his name was Dennis De Young) - Any true Styx fan knows it was the combination of all their talents that made them great - you obviosly don't know shit about them since this was from Crystal Ball not Grand Illusion so really your opinion means less then zero....
*sigh* I'm growing tired of people hating on new artists. Live and let live, ya yknow? Some people hate styx and they don't go all over the internet to try and start revolutions about hating this band. So love your music, and let others love THEIR music.
It's so great that you have an appreciation for real artists, and real music. Ignore comments from intellectually challenged fools like aleafonthewind, you sound like you're already a mover n shaker. Change the world if you want to!!
One of the greatest jams in recorded history. When I was young, I got ragged on for being a Styx fan. All that happened was the addition of some Floyd, Zep, and Sabbath - go rag!
I'm more of a Tommy Shaw fan than a Dennis DeYoung fan, however... DeYoung... got senile. :p
@ borntrippin, Lay off the ACID Morron, STYX has always played GREAT Music, if YOU werent so busy burning out what little brain cells you have you'd realize that!
growing up in the 70 & 80 mtv was cool, and so were the bands timeless. spring break on ft lauderdale beach driving a 1967 pontiac firebird playing from styx to van halen best years.
Saw Styx last night at the Fallsview Casino. So sick! There music is from before my time, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. They played this song last night and it is my new favourite song by them. My number one is "Too Much Time On My Hands", love the intro to that song! Who says a "young man" whom listens to melodic death metal can't enjoy old bands from before his time like Styx?
@purestaticity to much time is overplayed they have so much better music I realize you are alot younger than me start with greatest hits .You will like alot of that Im near Bristol Tenn and am seeing them next saturday Nov 5 iI got second row seats.Where is Fallsview?
Thanks a lot for uploading this! I´m trying to recover my old music collection and I had this album on a cassette that is now broken. Now i have it again, thanks to You and YouTube! And the great program DVD Videosoft Free Studio (OBS! Commerclial!) :-)
@Doobie1975 Not good that was '77 I believe and the"Draw The Line" tour, Styx was way way better, I saw the very bottom for Tyler and Co too in Worcester at the Centrum, Steven walked over to a roadie, fell onto the guy and they carried him off, lights up shows over folks you don't have to go home but you can't stay here.
@LabelBob I know the majority of Aerosmith's live shows from the late 70s were really bad cause both Steven Tyler and Joe Perry were strung out on dope during that time
@ThePremiumsolo Under looked? Did you mean over looked? They had 3 Multi Platinum albums in a row, No other band in the history of the world has done that not Elvis Not the Beatles Not the Stones Not Michael Jackson, I would say they were very well recognized and reaped the rewards.
Not to mention hundreds of sold out shows, Trust me they got their due and more.
yea, the 70s!! class of 74 here and those times were very sweet. had it made. 66 mustang and a 72 kawasaki 500. God, thank you for letting me live thru them.
@Opaquefire00 Got that right. Music died in the early '90s when rap/hip hop and alternative became mainstream. And never changed the past 20 years. Pathetic.
The 70s were the best times, I was in my teens I had my 65 Ford Custom Coup a Street bike a dirt bike and a girl. The rest was music, man i wish I was there! Styx takes me back every time!
@MrDosanders i did and i barely remember it cuz i was high all the time...im sure your wouldn't remember much either if you were around then too ; ) but man the bands! THE BANDS!!! good times for sure..i miss the 70's
I hate modern lady gaga and t-pain who have no talent and only sound good because of auto-tune. People say the black eyed peas sounded bad at the super bowl because of technical errors. Why would that effect them? AUTOTUNE!!! I'm 11 years old, and this is my favorite band. Thums up tis comment, thumbs up the video, favorite it, copy and paste this on other songs like this so together, we can take over the internet and spam t-pain with comments like this. (p.s.

@mrchaserman34 Only if there are far more young listeners like you today. All this trashy music - rap/hip hop and alternative music would be dead then if far less go to their concerts and buy albums. It would start a new revolution to bring back the great and pure sound of rock-n-roll. It had to end sooner or later. I cannot see this go on another 20 years!

How does it feel to be dumber than an 11 year old.
@calamityjane131 Calm down. I was simply commenting on the fact that nobody can "take over the internet", and was ridiculing that 11 year-old's wording. If I've misinterpreted his statement, I apologize--but to him, not you.
I completely agree with you that the Internet is powerful, and it can bring about change. However, the internet is nobody's tool, and I, along with the rest of Anonymous, will fight to keep it that way.
Also, don't criticize handles. They are not a reflection of character.
@mrchaserman34 Dude, you have exactly the right attitude to make a great musician. I only respect bands whose members are true virtuosos, and this is certainly one of those bands. Rush being another. These bands would rather have you hear the real deal on-stage, warts and all, but they're so darned good; no warts. Last I saw Styx was Kilroy and they had their arena gear in a smaller music hall and they absolutely rocked! You've got the right attitude. Respect REAL musicians. And be one!
What an eloquent critique of people who actually know what a good rock ballad sounds like. I feel better about the future of the nation having read this.......
Styx were a really nice band,But honestly they couldnt pick up anyones in Rush instruments.They had a nice vocal mix with the different singers though.
@MrMonkeyman63 your missing the point ...no one in the band can equal Rush's talent ..but that's not the point..it's good music ..isn't that enough...or only great musicians can make music??
So many songs of this era ended the song with a "fadeout" or lowering of the volume. I wish I could hear the rest of the guitar jam that was going on there.
Hey, I remember hearing this when I was a kid my dad played this (he's a big fan of Styx, but his biggest band is Rush) I was surfing and now I'm out of the house I was so glad to here this! It's like being home again, I'm 21 and I find that music today SUCKS so thank GOD we have this, great song.
this is some of the greatest music that was ever produced until styx sold out and became a commercial band, but they still beat the shit out of anything produced still till this day on the rock n roll scene. rock n roll started going straight to hell in 1980 and has steadily hit the toilet ever since...
@cliffthelightning right on man . whole world is in to much a hurry lets just enjoy what we love and let the rest of this crazy screwed up place enter them selves into a one legged man/ woman ass kickin contest. GOD GO WITH YOU MY BROTHER. PEACE OUT. J.J.D.
Music back in the day was more artistic and had meaning to the artist. Now music is made for popularity rather than art. Music can be enjoyable and creative.
@amsellner your right too much cookie cutter, producer created drivel ! Back in the 70's the quality was so much better . Bands come and go but look at all the legends from the 70's still going.
He wrote this in my hometown of Montgomery, AL and use to perform this song at the Kegler's Kove bowling alley bar there with the band named "Harmony" prior to his joining Styx.
@54lex Actually, Tommy wrote this in 1975 in his Mama's kitchen in Montgomery, AL, before he was hired into Styx. He did the rewrite to "Styxify" it while touring in a station wagon during his first tour with Styx. He handed the pages to Dennis as he wrote. The original has a third verse and doesn't have the chorus that you hear now. There are some versions of his original floating around on the Net.
we gotta keep the old tunes alive couse the new is trying to force everybody into submission state of being brainless souless robots.started around 1980s
Were the bands really better? (Sounds a lot like my dad back then holding forth that the real music died with rock 'n roll - not a bad thesis, with hindsight). Far's I recall, none of this stuff ever made it to the radio, so it's not fair to compare it to the stuff that is making it to the radio these days. (In the '70's all you heard on the radio was disco. You certainly would never hear say Black Sabbath play Sabotage... and to some ears Styx is "the same" ...)
You forget how great this stuff was until you hear it again after all these years. Tell me, tell me, won't you and then tell me agaiiiin...where is there music like this today? Only in the archive section. Like somebody else posted-corporate processed cheese pus is all we ge

Styx were a really nice band,But honestly they couldnt pick up anyones in Rush instruments.They had a nice vocal mix with the different singers though.
MrMonkeyman63 9 months ago
@MrMonkeyman63 your missing the point ...no one in the band can equal Rush's talent ..but that's not the point..it's good music ..isn't that enough...or only great musicians can make music??

So many songs of this era ended the song with a "fadeout" or lowering of the volume. I wish I could hear the rest of the guitar jam that was going on there.

Hey, I remember hearing this when I was a kid my dad played this (he's a big fan of Styx, but his biggest band is Rush) I was surfing and now I'm out of the house I was so glad to here this! It's like being home again, I'm 21 and I find that music today SUCKS so thank GOD we have this, great song.
SuperSnowdog69 10 months ago
this is some of the greatest music that was ever produced until styx sold out and became a commercial band, but they still beat the shit out of anything produced still till this day on the rock n roll scene. rock n roll started going straight to hell in 1980 and has steadily hit the toilet ever since...

Music back in the day was more artistic and had meaning to the artist. Now music is made for popularity rather than art. Music can be enjoyable and creative.

@amsellner your right too much cookie cutter, producer created drivel ! Back in the 70's the quality was so much better . Bands come and go but look at all the legends from the 70's still going.

i heard or read that tommy wrote this song while riding in a limousine to styx's concert when they hired him.
54lex 1 year ago
@54lex Actually, Tommy wrote this in 1975 in his Mama's kitchen in Montgomery, AL, before he was hired into Styx. He did the rewrite to "Styxify" it while touring in a station wagon during his first tour with Styx. He handed the pages to Dennis as he wrote. The original has a third verse and doesn't have the chorus that you hear now. There are some versions of his original floating around on the Net.

This is such a beautiful song. Styx had something for everyone. Some of the best music of all time.
trailboyus66 1 year ago
Were the bands really better? (Sounds a lot like my dad back then holding forth that the real music died with rock 'n roll - not a bad thesis, with hindsight). Far's I recall, none of this stuff ever made it to the radio, so it's not fair to compare it to the stuff that is making it to the radio these days. (In the '70's all you heard on the radio was disco. You certainly would never hear say Black Sabbath play Sabotage... and to some ears Styx is "the same" ...)
