Well, my children, back in the Dark Ages when MTV actually played videos, I would sit for days glued to my parent's TV and would drool over all the Styx videos, especially this one! Loved Tommy to death! Hard to remember the days of limited media and exposure, so different from today! All a teenage fan had back then were teen mags and Don Kirschner's show.......
by far, one of my favorite songs, its almost like they saw the future and wrote a song about my life, expect for the part about not bein a criminal,haha
This is good, I never seen this video until now, they are still a great band to this day, they still tour with REO Speedwagon. I like Styx better though.

This is the kind of pure crap that spawned the Punk movement. God, this is pure cheese. Great talent that sold out to the almighty dollar and made music for the Top-40 masses. Shameful.
The problem with the group was that they should have told DeYoung "Stop with the Crap". Equinox, Pieces of Eight, Crystal Ball, & Grand Illusion were awesome and still are. DeYoung tried to turn the group into a Broadway stage show with Paradise and Kilroy. Most honest Styx fans are in agreement with this. Why do you think they kicked his ass out?? Actually, I like your idea of the birthday party. Think I could get them to play at mine?
A fair enough assessment, however this video is from 1981 and punk had started long before that...all the way back to 1969 if we're talking Iggy Pop. And to play devil's advocate, it was the Punk movement which gave us the musical abortions Blink-182 and Good Charlotte...I'd take this "cheese" over that "pile of steamy shit" any day.
Ok~~Haters~~go away! Thank-you. Now onto the Styx band...Tommy Shaw was my crush in 1978. Many good bands ..but the girls from N.K. loved him and Styx.
Hey crazyfuk100~~go away if you don't like the music...."holy gay hater", That is a HATE crime in USA. Stupid crazy dumb ass~~
They are still touring and still phenomenal, but unfortunately without DDY. Larry Gowan, who is his 'replacement', is an amazing pianist, though, and his 'Walrus' cover is awesome.
These guys are awesome, saw em at a concert that i was kinda forced to go too but i gave them a shot and actually loved them and there songs rock so haters stop hate'n and get a life.
If you want to see what it is all about, who is behind it, and what they are planning, type old world secrets the omega project codes into youtube. Watch all 13 parts. Everything about it has been tampered with from the very beginning. Write it down, watch it later if you have to, but watch it all. It has been highly censored, and tampered with, from day one.
to war with toys fyi come sail away was not thier only hit if your dumbass wasnot living in a fucking cave for the past 30 years, your"re sorry ass would know that. and when addressing people its spelled their not 'there " idiot
Well, it WAs the late seventies...the video is nicely tongue-in-cheek. Love the look on James Young's face when he pulls out the credit cards and the women still ignore him.
I like the little amazon buy me shit that pops up. I hope anyone who actually pays for anything on youtube catches the AIDs and rots from the inside out till they drop dead...
Interesting that in an era of socially-conscience punk rock and New Wave acts (late 70's/early 80's), it was arena/prog-rock band Styx who came up with the best songs of the time concerning unemployment ("Blue Collar Man" and "Too Much Time on My Hands").
Ironically enough, punk rock was always about making money - one only has to look as far as Malcolm McLaren and the Sex Pistols to see this. Unfortunately, Malcolm and his bands had no talent!
"Punk Rock" was never about making people socially aware.
It was the start of "American Idol" and manufactured celebrity.
Can you believe that guy will be 56 in a few weeks?? He also looks a lot better since he got his teeth fixed. Even before then he was always my favorite!
Congratulations breaker, you have given your personal information and where you go to school on a random song on youtube for the world to see without any provocation or being asked for it.
So again congratulations, you have proven natural selection false.
Like this is my 2nd favorite band but dennis deyoung looks like the chef from Chucky cheese
