Styx - Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)

[psykomystro]

One bad band. Musicianship, vocal harmony, outstanding songwriting.... STYX! Not many of those left, man.

[1lostsoldier1]

Tommy Shaw,Dennis deyoung great way of making magic,Love these guys.My first concert!!

[MatthewCVR]

The 1970's had very incredible music. Oh and in the 1970's there was work ethic as well.

[MrDwh34]

Styx was truly a rock band when Tommy was singing lead. They were more 70's theater with Dennis.

[StevenTyler324]

Ok. If you're sitting down at a concert, there's something wrong.

[jammerjim1]

Those aren't two basses. The guy in blue is playing rhythm.

[kirbithebest]

2:51 sparkling guitar its so cool!!!

[IbonedDerekDsister]

why are there two bassists?

[michaelschenker1955]

Look at the audience at 2:14, all sitting, maybe japanese people???

[shiminshake]

@michaelschenker1955

The audience is not Japanese, they are Caucasians, well-behaved Caucasians...

@1lostsoldier1

Tommy got some great songs for the band but Dennis DeYoung was the voice of Styx to me.

[1lostsoldier1]

Tommy was the best Vocals for this band

[wsellars1018]

such a 70's-80's look XD that red headband is epic

[DannyGrogg]

@wsellars1018 Not a headband, it's a bandanna!

[kirbithebest]

the first styx song i heard and also the one made me love those guys keep on rocking!!!!!!

[jimsizzles]

yes, the Kilroy tour (Mr Roboto), they didn't have the Kilroy sign before that.  This was the last tou where all original members were together if I remember correctly.

[1969DayTripper]

@jimsizzles Tommy Shaw isn't original, but the last tour with the biggest line up

[USMCthedevildog]

I heard these guys live three days ago. I can never listen to another recording without maxing out the volume, and possibly damaging my hearing. even then it will never recreate the feeling you get from being at a concert!

[1969DayTripper]

is this from Kilroy was here tour, or did Styx's sign always say Kilroy?

[48mmwatch]

what a bore playing for those people

[Debbie742]

Anybody remember what "Kilroy" meant?

[yesorlando05]

Yeah, why are they sitting down like they're at a piano recital??? Geezz!

[yesorlando05]

My favorite Styx song. High school days in the early 80's. Man, I miss it!

[slipknotftw1000]

how can all those morons be sitting down wtf!!

[slipknotftw1000]

this was when music was MUSIC!!its garbage now!

[TheFirstlove1975]

@slipknotftw1000

today's "music" is garbage is what you mean? hahaha :-)

I'm so agree with you

[slipknotftw1000]

they were so awesome!!

[ryanacdcfreakgeiken]

why are they sitting down??

[chrishouchins49]

@ryanacdcfreakgeiken - I was wondering the exact same thing

[robbysharolaid]

Uhhm, this deserves more views.

[96gummyworms]

So. I like this more than the recorded version.

[2333jim]

My mother, my father, my dog and my friends! Funny, TS!

[TheFirstlove1975]

TOMMY SHAW ---- THE VOICE FROM HEAVEN !!!!!!!!

[2DARKNESSangel]

shit what a chorus!!!

[champwinnerjim48]

you know.. this is the epitome of the american people right now. in the unemployment line, doin what it takes to survive

[SageofCancer]

Styx kicks ass. How are they gay if they made bank on their musical talent?

[yonemitsu1]

so excited to see them in Tacoma in February!



[NumaNuma187]

Could this have gotten any gayer?

[DeathBuzz]

@NumaNuma187 P.S Fagget Gay means happy. Look it up Fucker. Have a nice Holiday.

:)

[slipknotftw1000]

@NumaNuma187 u shuld be bitch slapped !!

[JeremyL796]

@1danrobbins oh ok because there was a concert down this way...

[pdrake074]

That is one twangy Strat that Tommy is playing. Sounds more like a Tele.

[kja427]

When is Dennis DeYoung going to get over his "Stagefright' and get back with Styx? That is ridiculous! He never had that problem in The 70's; Some people's kids!

[canuck2360]

YES !!!, reminescense of yesteryears, and R.I.P. Johnny... till we all do...

[aaronbates500]

this stuf ROCKS i saw them in Wisconsin rib fest 2011 it was worth every dollar of it.

[brentrick03842]

LOVE!!! What is there not to like! Saw them 1980, and again 2010!! Love you guys!!!

[raindance74]

David Spade on lead vocals everybody

[iamscarecrow30]

@raindance74 - So true. Before I read your comment, I was thinking the same thing when the video opened.

[pddansie1]

SO wish i could go to a live show! i bet it kicks ass! LOVE styx!!

[dixiemech73]

Guy has a million dollar voice and they all can actually play instruments wish a band would come out this day and age with that kind of talent

[crackuhpleez]

Tommy Effin Shaw. That's all you need to know.

[btwall60]

@crackuhpleez

Yea BABY! Saw behind the music today.

[andreestes99]

@crackuhpleez AND Dennis Effin Deyoung. 

[psykomystro]

@crackuhpleez H--- yeah!

[fcfcch]

lmfao?

[FreakinSweet86]

Having been in the infortunate position of being unemployed, this song spoke to me like no other, exept maybe Too Much Time On My Hands lol.

[spruce314]

Saw these guys back in the early 90s. One of the best concerts I've ever been to if not the best.

[rhonjon08]

@spruce314  hh

[rhonjon08]

@spruce314  hhhh

[96gummyworms]

John Panozzo, your drum faces will never be forgotten.

[orses4corses]

@96gummyworms Brilliant drummer

[007froman]

i have seen them twice in concert and both shows were awesome

[96gummyworms]

The keyboard player looks like my uncle.

Just getting that out...

[cyclist421]

R.I.P.John!!!! You have not been forgotten!!!!!

[96gummyworms]

@cyclist421 I LOVE JOHN PANOZZO c:

He's noe of my favourite drummers.

[Getawaycome]

Blue collar man gyaaaa:))



[96gummyworms]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TOMMY :D

[mrmacitalooo]

Never seen them live! But got many of their records! Kick ass rock.

[52wbending52]

Oh come on Tommy can do everything i've wanted to do

1.rock an electric guitar

2. be in an awesome band

3.sing

And he can roll his R's what a man!

[52wbending52]

HEY EVERYONE!!!!!!

If you want this kind of music 2 once again come back to the 21 century read this; we can change this world! We can show the world how much we miss these masterpieces! If we start getting everyone to listen 2 this kind of music Lady Gaga + all the others will go out of business then Aerosmith, Led Zepplin, Journey, Styx, + many others will once again rule the world of music! If we all wear the old style of clothing we like + listen to our music WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!!!

[52wbending52]

Guys stop making fun of Lady Gaga just because you don't like it she has some talent which is better than the other artist popular today who have no talent at all, I don't like Lady Gaga but i don't curse her off curse off Drake or Kesha but not the people who actually have talent. Styx rules! I only know 4 songs but they rule!

[FMAluver14]

I have this dvd xD I love it to deeeeeeeeeeeeeeath :3

[96gummyworms]

0:43 - JY's dance :D

[superficker2000]

@96gummyworms this was in 1983 whe they did the kilroy worldtour.funny stuff

[96gummyworms]

Better than the recorded version!

[Zooroonies]

tommy shaw reminds me of brad pitt

[96gummyworms]

The original lyrics: My mother and my father, my wife and my friends

Lyrics here: My mother and father, my dog and my friends

Tommy, what happened?

[RUMELSKIN]

@96gummyworms My guess is that he changed it because he had problems with his wife? I don't know but that is my guess haha

[jtmd11]

Where was this show..at a morgue?? get on your feet people!!!!!

[bagpiper4weddings]

i only wish i could do a version of this when playing the bagpipes

never mind

[96gummyworms]

At the end, Tommy is either acting, stage high, or drunk.

I don't care - He ROCKS.

[akaLonelyFreakshGeek]

Hey, come on now, Lady Gaga isn't that bad and slut is a bit harsh.

[mrrheades]

@akaLonelyFreakshGeek Abit harsh? Aparretly you've never seen 'perform'!

[chili2191989]

Gay people should be gay with me

[allstarsfade13]

STYX is only # 2 to one band and that is QUEEN

[2333jim]

@julianAlbanera: No, that would be Chuck Panozzo, the only remaining original member of the band. Yes, he is gay. Yes, he has HIV. And he is still a great musician, and plays with Styx as often as he can. In 1981, my friends and I heard rumors that he was gay, and decided then we didn't really care. He came out 20 years later. Doesn't matter to me.

When you listen to Queen, is the fact that Freddie was gay the first thing that leaps to your mind? If so, you have no appreciation for good music.

[lemmyswartt]

@2333jim We Love Chuck For His Music.What he does in his personal life is his business. I hope he has found happiness!

[julianAlbanera]

@2333jim ahham i know man, but in that shot seems freddie!Who cares hes gay or not, just his business!

[julianAlbanera]

..and Freddie mercury is playing bass...?

[campauchicken]

OH. MY. GOD. Tommy has some mean leather pants on.

[RocketQueenMS]

Does that gaga person not have any fans?

[garouzan]

Got me up from the ground, and into working hard again...incredible...

[ultrapimp2003]

The antithesis to Hang Hire.

[alexeh24]

seeing them tonight, with yes!

[TheDavid189]

@alexeh24 i saw them a few weeks ago, yes sucks but the styx performance was AWESOME!!! ;)

[froststorm134]

@TheDavid189 Kill yourself please, Yes is incredible

[1danrobbins]

Just saw these guys last Saturday down in Tennessee. They were really, really, good and worth every dime of the ticket, gas, and other expenses. Definitely one of those shows you are hoping won't end.

[TheRockinPajamas]

@1danrobbins I was there too. Fantastic show.

[JeremyL796]

@1danrobbins Was the concert you went to in Bristol (Viking Hall)?

[1danrobbins]

@JeremyL796 No, it was at an outside venue outside Nashville.

[cliffthelightning]

@cliffthelightning I ment 3:13

[CuteMaddie117]

I agree

[mrrheades]

How the hell can you have a banner for that untalented slut lady gaga under one of the greatest bands ever?

[cliffthelightning]

@mrrheades It's worse... britney spears

[BotGankOrGTFO]

@mrrheades who cares? you'll live a short life if you stress about tiny shit like that

[mrrheades]

@BotGankOrGTFO  So you don't disagree that she in an untalented slut.

[2536b]

@mrrheades That isn't what this song is about. Just chill the fuck out.

[mrrheades]

@2536b I never said this song was about the untalented SLUT Lady(?) Gaga! I said "How the hell can you have a -BANNER- for that untalented slut lady gaga under one of the greatest bands ever?"

[2536b]

@mrrheades Because it is presented by VEVO, as is Lady Gaga. But we are here to listen to the song, so that is the reason for my previous comment. Besides, for her genre, Lady Gaga is not that bad. I don't have her on my iPod, nor will I, but your comment was harsh.

[TheGamerFru]

@2536b why talking about lady gaga?

[2536b]

@TheGamerFru Dude, read the comment by mrrheades.

[swingingadam]

@mrrheades chill out man, untalented perhaps but slut is not nice

[doodies]

@mrrheades

Yeah, like seriously? C'mon. >.>

[96gummyworms]

@mrrheades

That untalented slut had a Brian May guitar solo in her song, hun.

[gbranton]

@96gummyworms Everybody makes the occaisional mistake.

[mrrheades]

@96gummyworms At least there is some quality(?) to her.

[mrrheades]

@mrrheades I guess you got the message.....FUCK LADY GAGA!!!

[edshadowFoX12]

@mrrheades It's so f'ing sad, man.

[TheBuddah80]

@mrrheades I know this mystyifes the hell out of me. too Damn Vevo they're promoing crappy ass music that we could care less about

[shyman99]

NO NO NOOOOOOO!!!!! This is not the original 1978 promotional video made for this song. Where are the Pieces Of Eight promo videos I recall seeing back in the 70's? This is a live version from the early 80's during the Kilroy Was Here tour. The copyright listed for this video isn't even correct.  This version cannot be copyright 1978 because this version of the song didn't exist in 1978. Do they think real fans don't know the difference? Please release the promos on home DVD

[thecoolestdad]

first time seeing this clip and all I can say is,what in the world is the matter with the audience?This is a rock concert and these people are sitting down like they are at a seminar or something boring like that.How can you go to a rock concert with the original lineup after John Cureluski left and sit down while Styx is playing?John Panozzo still alive on the drums and Dennis is still there along with Chuck Panozzo on the bass.I didn't do like that when I saw paradise theater tour.

[jkl46o]

thank gawd i can still listen to this

[fairump2003]

This song would sound great with a b3

[Jecht301010]

0:33 freddie mercury!

[ZILCH7]

the crowd are going wild...in a sitting down lookin bored kinda way!

[SunnyValeTP1]

OMG JY looks like the albino Chewbacca with that hairstyle! Sorry JY. That said - I totally LOVE Styx!!!

[mikeknight4u]

Loved watching John Panozzo rocking out on those drums. I used to read about him in Modern Drummer when I was a kid in the 80's. I had no idea he died in '96. It's sad people have to die.

[wooohoo2]

@mikeknight4u...not only that, but getting old, not sure which one is worse..old guys rocking or the good ones who die young..but im sure the old guys rather keep playing.

[MrDethWood]

Remember the movie Big Daddy? Styx was the greatest american bands ever but the got a bad rep because critics are cynical jackasses.

[cromans844]

Is it me or does he look like Jimmy Mcelroy (John Header) in Blades Of Glory lol

[DukeTogo1107]

if I could only listen to one song for the rest of my life, it would absolutely and without a doubt be this one!!! (and no this post didn't end up on the wrong video, I am well aware that I'm to STYX).

[kaneda603]

To bad good musicians aren't around to (understand) sing about the times we live in now. The 70's were bad but now is worse, yet nobody has a song. Like its not real... funny, but sad.

[assinus]

Styx is great great great

[YTesko1r2d229]

i thought all modern songs were in VEVO

[freetosing15]

so who is killroy?

[Tankgurll]

@freetosing15

The robot from the mister roboto video :)

[talonturbo190]

i gotta agree with everyone else styx is awesome i saw them in concert a couple years ago in addison tx at the bone star jam it was awesome

[NateCarlson98]

I hate VEVO

[mrianmark]

I photographed Styx in 1977 in Calgary. You could see the shots by going to .ianmarkmusicphotos (.com)

[RickyRocker821]

such a underated band! i mean their super talented,write awesome music,and a ROCK band!! never hang it up guys.

[OsmosisGnome]

VEVO LAGS -.-

[slotwinski1414]

Wow, I really can't believe how dead the audience looks!

[zrxkawi]

For those who havent seen them live you owe it to yourself to see them theyre that good ... and just for comparison go see another act the next day and see how crap the others will sound ... nuff said !

[Beechbaybee]

KICK ASS TOMMY!!! HE WAS MADE FOR STAGE!!! LOVE his solo cd--REMO'S THEM....GIRLS WITH GUNS...I CAN COUNT ON YOU...

GOOOOOOOO TOMMY!

[BEASTTHEBAND2011]

My band and I LOVE Styx and we are doing a cover of this song so if you could take a minute to go check us out our video is in the video response =D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[krisaf778]

best song by these guys. nuff said

[pivotcharlez]

Who loves the organ in this song? Amazing!

[nextthought]

Killory took over screwed us all over...

what's ours is ours... our future never give up never surrender....

Stay strong brother!!!

[protege420]

Seen them last summer (2010) and they were AMAZING!

[DustBuster91]

2:40 = looks like Alex Lifeson (not sure on spelling) from rush

[acasmor6486]

love STYX they r the best :)

[mdog911111]

KILROY!!!!!!

[vonsiems1963]

Adam Sandler said it best in BIG DADDY.. "critics are cynical assholes" lol

[samhain1967]

Now I like Styx but Jimmie Van Zant made this song his... It doesn't even belong to Styx anymore.

[dexterneptune]

And yet there is 1 lonely soul out there who hates this video. What a sad existence he/she must lead. It's like hating sex or puppies or freedom...

[loveshax]

underrated? there huge meng 

[cabmandu]

I hate the vevo ads.

[lordOFbrooklyn]

how can everyone in the audience stay seated like they're watching an opera or some shit? maybe they're european or asian or somethin...

[jwright621557]

@lordOFbrooklyn they are sitting because it is a theatre style auditorium

[lordOFbrooklyn]

@jwright621557 well aren't you clever

[jwright621557]

@lordOFbrooklyn nah... it's just common sense

[lordOFbrooklyn]

@jwright621557 not really. i've seen plenty of shows where people have seats but they choose to stand instead. which brings me back to my original argument; they're probably asians or something
