We did this song for choir in 1982 for my high school, open house night. It got me in so much trouble because I had to sing soprano's part and I kept singing tenor. My choir teacher Ms.
I'm 67 years old, two years ago my wife gave me a ticket to these guys in concert for Fathers' Day. 30 minutes into that night I realized I was born 15 years too soon. These guys were still great, sign of real and enduring talent.
this happens to be one of the songs my generation (14 yr olds) will sing to during school and have smiles on our faces. It is a really good song and is that kind of song all generations should know and love, just like mine.
They have only improved as musicians over the many years since we used to sing their songs like anthems as young people. Now, at our ages we "get" what we didn't back when we were younger and in these economic times, songs like "Blue Collar Man" finally come into 20/20 focus. Pure gold as a band!!
This is a great work!.. maybe Meadowbrook (NH) this summer,, if Tommy 'I don't like Mr. Roboto' Shaw can bring "My Band" (his words; late 90' tour, Christina River, Wilmington, DE) and Dennis DeYoung shows up to play.
hey uh how about u shut the fuck up lil wayne is the shit and so is this fuck just cuz its original doesnt make it good or highway blue by gay as beethoven would be the shit but no no one listens to his gay ass so... your wrong
Bearing in mind all good music is very much personal and it's merits and meanings are best left to the individual listener isn't arguing over individual bands kind of pointless? For the record I like anything where I feel I'm seeing dedication and effort at work regardless of it's genre. It's why I don't care for most modern mainstream music as I feel it's mass produced and very generic. It's not 'food' just bubblegum and bland bubblegum at that.
I think some people are so silly....this song has a great line " I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had"....who cares who's better...Queen, Styx, really, they're both good....
If you want to see the only authentic note for note electronic sheet music of this song synchronized with the orginal 1977 audio recording by Styx, then visit the virtuosoism channel.
1979 - Greenville Memorial Auditorium, Greenville SC - was standing about 6' from the stage when the first bars of this one began and Dennis DeYoung and a white baby grand began rising up from under the stage. Awesome concert, awesome memories.

I was sort of expecting a response from "xawesomex5" ...but since you chimed in, I'll go ahead and retort! The content of your reply, accompanied by the context in which you posted it leads me to believe that you are a "Queen" fan! Good band, they are... and in terms of preference, one can find their music preferable to that of Led Zeppelin. In terms of musical ability (aka; TALENT), members of "Queen" are not as qualified....
@xawesomex5 Im a great Queen fan too but i dont think that it's fair to say theyre better. I mean everyone is entitled to their opinion. And it's not like it a competition or something. All classic rock is awsome and should be respected. I don't like some of the bands from the 60's-80's but i'm not gonna go rip on them and say shit about them. They're better than most music nowadays
@HorseRider4Life11 i hear you im almost 18 and i love styx, my rents got me hooked on their old people music lol but nah its actually good music not like all the crap going round now a days
@emoangel930 yeah they are really good i usually listen to country but there are a few band that i will listen to that arnt country such as ........ Boston, Manic Drive, Styx ....and a couple more
This was my generation, but I gotta say that the tunes from the mid 70's - the early 80's was pretty great. I really need to have a strong melodic theme. It becomes memorable it there is a great hook. A great contribution to this time was the maturing of basic electronics and amplification, as well as a healthy dose of existential angst. Now that the Cold War was over, we started to ask who we were now that we were no longer defined by the global threat of Soviet expansion.
@Fluffefan No we won't. Don't worry. ABBA was huge in the late 70's. Now they're a novelty, same with Gaga. Madonna is also another archetypal example of "Re-Re-tired Pop Star". People cling to fads, but they remember greatness.
Adoring fans everywhere, I must give my opinion on the fact that Dennis Deyoung is no longer apart of this wonderful musical organization. The sad truth is that Styx will never again have that untouchable magic and musical prowess that it once possessed. Make no mistake folks. Dennis is a wonderful and caring individual who possesses that raw talent rarely found among his famous Rock and Roll constituents.
Styx would seem to be ripe for a reunification tour. Everyone else does it, why not them? :) I have recently re-discovered their amazing body of work. I hope they do get together again with Dennis and rock it. Hopefully they have mellowed a little in their middle age and can see the value of compromising with each other. I hope so! Love them and their music!
Acoustic performances destroy the integrity of songs. A lot of times no synthesizers can be permitted here (this song had two: the Oberheim 4-Voice and the ARP Odyssey).
Both guitarists are using electroacoustic guitars (Tommy Shaw is playing a Takamine EF341SC, but what is James Young's?). Dennis is on the piano, of course, but as this is an acoustic performance there is no Oberheim synthesizer to be had here.
Dennis DeYoung as is seen here, he has temporarily done away with the grey hair which he initially acquired in 1982. As a result he also decided to shave off his mustache. But a few years after this, he decided to let it go grey again and has never looked back.
No. The only "twins" in Styx were the bassist and the original drummer. The original drummer in question is John Panozzo, who died in 1996 at age 47 due to cirrhosis of the liver. Todd Sucherman (seen here) replaced John in 1995.
All you nostalgic people... there was better music than this before Styx (Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, and Sly and the Family Stone), better music at the time (billy joel, stevie wonder, prince, pink floyd to name a few), and better music today (Norah Jones, John Mayer, and countless Country singers). You can like this without hating hip hop as well.
Now lets be fair here; there's no need to go dissing the modern bands so much. I mean think about it, bands have been using machines to generate music even as far back as the classic rock period; for instance, those annoying synthesizers like the ones Styx used in the original version of this song. In the end, the stuff that comes out of both instruments and machines is just background noise; it's the vocalist that ties the whole thing together.
@brazilgangsta That's not exactly accurate, but for the first part it is. The second part is not really the actual artist doing it, rather the company doing it. Unless of course, they actually DO do it themselves.
people say history is repeating itself. some good some bad. economy crashing, great depression II ? US military vs. afghan, world war 3? another terrorist attack on sears (willis) tower? thats the bad stuff. but good news. evolving into rock and roll. from blues and jazz to rock back in 50's. hip hop and rap into rock and roll in 2010? 2020? or how bout sports. another babe ruth? nolan ryan? jerry rice? lets see
The music in the new Millenia is pathetic. No creativity at all. If the best rock band we got in this decade is Creed, thats pretty damn said as their a poor pans pearl jam.
cause i've GOT to be free, free to face the life thats ahead of me (ooh, so climb aboard oohoo, to carry on) lol i like both versions but of course nothing beats the classic
That was awesome. However, I feel really sorry for that piano there at the end. Sure, he was rocking out and it sounded amazing... But he milked that Grand for all it was worth. xD
@angus4463 I agree...when bands not just strum the guitars but played real music, and where guitar tricks are of made out of real talent, unlike today when they just strum their guitars and let electronic gadgets do the trick...
@angus4463 I totally agree with you. I like this sort of stuff where I can put it in my van's CD player and turn it up and sing like there's no tomorrow! Hip Hop can't do that to me.
@angus4463 only 25% of today's music is from real "musicians".. All this pop and rap and hip hop crap is a bunch of self-obsessed morons who just want to be recognized by making up ryhmes about drugs, sex, and money. They don't have any musical talent at all, they cant even sing very well.. and never use their own music, they just use samples and sound effects.. I wish people would realize this

US military vs. afghan, world war 3? another terrorist attack on sears (willis) tower? thats the bad stuff. but good news. evolving into rock and roll. from blues and jazz to rock back in 50's. hip hop and rap into rock and roll in 2010? 2020? or how bout sports. another babe ruth? nolan ryan? jerry rice? lets see

The music in the new Millenia is pathetic. No creativity at all. If the best rock band we got in this decade is Creed, thats pretty damn said as their a poor pans pearl jam.

That was awesome. However, I feel really sorry for that piano there at the end. Sure, he was rocking out and it sounded amazing... But he milked that Grand for all it was worth. xD

@angus4463 I agree...when bands not just strum the guitars but played real music, and where guitar tricks are of made out of real talent, unlike today when they just strum their guitars and let electronic gadgets do the trick...

@angus4463 Yeah, and when MTV had music? Good times are long gone sadly. Nostalgia is the only place for music nowadays

@angus4463 I totally agree with you. I like this sort of stuff where I can put it in my van's CD player and turn it up and sing like there's no tomorrow! Hip Hop can't do that to me.

@angus4463 only 25% of today's music is from real "musicians".. All this pop and rap and hip hop crap is a bunch of self-obsessed morons who just want to be recognized by making up ryhmes about drugs, sex, and money. They don't have any musical talent at all, they cant even sing very well.. and never use their own music, they just use samples and sound effects.. I wish people would realize this
