Styx without Dennis DeYoung is like Journey without Steve Perry, Boston without Brad Delp, or Queen without Freddie Mercury. It's not the same. I understand why they split, and really I can't say I blame them for booting DeYoung. Still listening to them now is like eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without the jelly. I think they should concentrate on writing great new songs and putting out a first rate new album. Cyclorama was half baked, and I've been a big Styx fan since 1978.
Hey look people Dennis isn't coming back!! Get the fxxk over yourselves..Gowan breathes new life into the Deyoung songs..and if you haven't seen Styx lately keep your cumdumpsters closed..I saw them With Deyoung in 96 and they were good but they were 10 times better recently!
I love Styx as they are today, but I do feel weird when they sing Dennis' songs. Tommy and James have enough great songs themselves. I'd rather hear something from Brave New World, or Cyclorama than this.
AS A KID many many years ago~ I ALWAYS loved the heavier side of STYX. in the 80s they went kinda DDY's way and I got severly disinterested. Kinda let down.
seen em 23 times.. twice last year.! Love DDY ..and still am OK with the NEW STYX. Just wish men would be men ....and just move on... for OUR (the FANS) sake. !
To me the current lineup of Styx sounds tired, and nothing like the classic era of the band, which is my favorite, the whole reason I'm a Styx fan is that era. I am glad they don't perform the full song of Mr. Roboto it would be ruined. Let me put it to you this way, if both Styx and Dennis Deyoung were performing on the same day and in the same city, I would go see Dennis Deyoung, hands down.
Sorry, but I have my opinions and you have yours. I will never set foot at a current line up Styx concert. Dennis Deyoung is ten times better than this cover band wanna be Styx.
AWESOME version of a great song! Just watched some of the Dennis DeYoung band videos of the classic Styx songs and they are pathetic. You haters should go to the Grand Illusion/Pieces of Eight show and be amazed. The SOLD OUT crowd in Baltimore was IMPRESSED as were the crowds on the rest of the tour dates. I'm so glad that I went. Just wish I did not watch the Dennis DeYoung band video of Blue Collar Man now...my ears are still ringing. We agree to disagree on this subject I guess.
@AmericanFireBrand Finally! Someone who thinks like me!!! I agree these re-recordings SUCK. If you want GOOD variations of these songs go look up Dennis Deyoung, he has recaptured that AWESOME classic Styx sound.
@mrroboto5785 I could not agree with you more. There are many of us who think like you. I, however, have some friends who like the new versions of some of the songs. I just have to disagree with them. Dennis is amazing, maybe after a stint with Damn Yankees, Nugent will talk some sense into Tommy, and we can have a Styx reunion. I say bring back Dennis and Glen Burtnick and get rid of Ricky. Let Gowan play keyboards and harmonize. Dennis tours with a second keyboard player anyway.

Does anyone notice that Gowan is actually trying to copy the way Dennis sounds on the original recording of this? Pathetic.
