I've only seen Styx in concert once and previous to that I wasn't a big fan of their music but after going to their concert in 1979 they left such a lasting impression on me that cold,winter night that I've been a Fan ever since!!!!
We were the beacon of "Freedom" and many looked to us to form their own countries. Listen to the song and note that we can still be that beacon but we are not living up to it. This was written and performed one year before our bicentennial and the lyrics point to a decay of our leadership as its veiwed from other countries. Dont be fooled by the information that the news and politicians tell us because inside of all of us is a patriot waiting to come out ad lead us as the song says. WAKE UP!!!
This song has a lot of meaning.. my husband played it for me before he quit drinking he said it reminded him of me.... i am so happy for his recovery :)
Oh wow, i use to listen to my brother play this tune on his guitar and would always want him to play it when my best friend would come around lol! How can anyone like that horrible death Metal shit that is out now? This is where it is! Because of my brother , i like all these bands... Styx, Pink Flloyd, Savatage, Black Sabbath, Dokken, Van Hallen!!!! ALL OF THEM! I'm proud to say it too.
You know, as a Canadian, I sometimes feel like some Americans are just dumb and cocky to the world, but this song, this makes me feel like you guys kick ass
I turned 30 this year...sat back and reflected, which to some isn't much time. Every Time I hear this song, I'm reminded of myself sitting in my small town bar at the age of 21, behaving foolishly, over-tipping, and playing this song on the jukebox 5 times in a row for 2 bucks. I might have been the fool air guitaring the solo, but I know i saw my fair share of "hardcore bikers" shedding tears to the beginning of this ballad.
Great song. Straight-ahead, no-nonsense, rock-and-roll from certainly one of the more innovative, original and versatile bands of the modern era. Songs like this never get old, they just get better because as you get older, you appreciate them more than you did when you were a teenager or younger and you realize just how good these songs are and why there are no more songs like it, or bands like them anymore.
@joellejaskoski Yes it was. We could sit here and name them until the cows come home. Diversity and originality certainly ruled the day. Today it is country, rap or what substitutes for rock. Never again will there be a music era like the 80's.
You know there's something wrong with the world when songs like this aren't considered "commercial" and not often played. So many other great songs treated the same way......
@humakhanlover You spoke the truth there, my friend. I've been saying this for over 15+ years now, and it's great to see someone else think along the same lines as I do.
@timepoet77 - Thanks man. By the way I just saw Dennis DeYoung and his band for the first time, last Friday. Everything that has been said about this guy is true. Apart from being a great singer with a great new band, he also plays the keyboard like a master and is a great comedian on-stage!!! His antics and his jokes are an additional treat in his concert!
minds me of the sugar mamma i had in 1977 buy me cars give me money anything as long as i did her when she ask for it no matter who was around,,some ask why aren't you still with her she died along time ago but i still have 2 of the 6 cars she bought me,,,,,,
I saw the Styx in 1996 when i was visiting Hades to see if i was interested in making it my home....wasn't! The water was dingy and global warming was a happening!!
2 of the most underrated rock anthems of all time are this song and Sweet Child in Time by Deep Purple - if you agree give me a Stone Cold "hell ya" !
I'm a Styx fan. But please don't pollute this with vote McCain-stuff. F-U for applying those Stalinist tactics of turning arts into politics! But then again, he lost didn’t he? Thank god that shit didn't work.
@bleedinblues1 dont you know it these are musicians justin b sings what the record companies give him he couldn't write any music on his own i'll be in the second row to see styx and blue oyster cult this saturday november 5 at viking hall in Bristol Tenn I wouldn't be caught dead near a Bieber show STYX kicks his punk ass
@MultiMetalgod Won't ever be another decade like the 70's for rock-n-roll, but that's fine with me. It makes tunes like this one all the more special. Bands had their own unique thing. No cookie-cutters back then. Have fun at Bristol.
Nothing to do with Mr. Romney, just having conversation. You know, once long ago other countries looked to America as a great country doing good things. I don't know so much about that now. They're gonna kill another Black man in Alabama today. We've become a lynch mob. I think I just hurt. Sorry to bother you.
People are people. We're ALL brothers and sisters. We're all in this together aren't we? WE are all here now. Too many of us are in need, or hungry, or homeless, or sick. We get one day. Today. Make a difference.
The 18 ppl that dislike this song, u clearly have MAJOR issues cuz how can u not like this song or this great band. Styx is 1 of the greatest bands of all times. U little ass justin bieber fans will never have as many hits as this band does. Hell, this band has more hits on 1 album then he will his entire life. STYZ ROCKS :)
That was there great concert, I also went to there pices of eight tour when they came to Atlanta in 1978 Nov.16 @ the Omni that bulinding has long been torn down but held some great concert groups.

@drummond62 yea and I'm the Jewish Pope and I'm a muslum. They kicked Dennis out of the band when he said it was his way or the highway. That came from JY in an interview. They're greatest songs were 1) Crystal Ball 2) Miss America 3) Blue Collar Man 4) Snow Blind 5) Renegade. The rest are the Dennis Deyoung songs, the has the personalty of a coffee table, thats why then sent him down the road. FYI Stxy was started as a 3 piece by James Young and Chuck and John Panozzo who were neighbors.
@MasterWitchDoctor Actually, they started the band with DeYoung (he was their neighbour, not J.Y). Curewleski was the forth member, and JY was actually the fifth member to join the band.
@EthanRaymond69 I don't know where you get your info from but Wikipedia get theirs (the info I sourced) straight from the band themselves. Maybe you should do a little research before you are mistaken about what you think. Use Wikipedia and enter Styx an read what they themselves have. Any misinformation on Wikipedia would result in slander and I'm sure you know where that ends. Dennis DeYoung is/as an afterthought.
@drummond62 I suppose you think "Babe" was a good song huh? The only good thing about that song was changing it before I threw up from listening to its whiney ass. He ruined Styx, point in case where the horrid concerts they put on in 1983 in support of Kilroy was here. Quite possibly the worst concert I ever seen. That was Dennis DeYoungs creativeness. A complete failure and watching 15,000+ people at the Hollywood Sportatorium boo him then walk out. Thats why Styx banned him from the band.
@coling94 You should educate your self about America's government... Maybe then you wouldn't speak so highly of the country. Or maybe you were just kidding?
@welderMTL So many fools today, saying America's evil! America is the symbol of freedom, we can do as we please. We also help other countries to become the same way. Why do you people fail to see that?
@welderMTL You can hate America all you want since you don't benefit from it in any way. You don't live, work, eat, sleep, fornicate, etc. in the U.S.A. You would be too conspicuous anyway. The instant somebody saw you they would just flush the toilet and you'd disappear. At least you keep the toilet paper manufacturers employed.
too bad the poster of this video had to ruin it by saying "vote mccain"..........geesh, can't you keep the petty level of politics out of a lovely tribute to our great nation??????
Whatever is going on in the World is not only the USA's doing. So get a grip and look at the whole picture., that is if you are able, many are blind...want to know how to take the blinders off?
The part 4:31-5:07 is when I go back and listen again and again, "...Americaaaa...americaaaa...america. Americaaaa....americaaa...america". A nation now on a verge of collapse from national debt to 'parasites' within our borders; terrorists, drug cartels, illegal aliens, foreign and domestic gangs and our very own government. Along with this huge debt, we have become our very 'own' worst enemy. Remember 9-11-01 when 'certain' parasites known as 'terrorists' took 3,000 lives.
Ive seen Styx 3 times in Concert, HEAVENLY, to say the least! They sound just like their albums ! Real Musicians, fantastic vocals! Worth every pennie! I Love every song!!!!!
I concede to a few points you made ogdocvato except for a few things.For one thing, we are talking about this country and the direction it has and is taking.We have and are losing are place as the supposed beacon of light as we once where. That is what Styx was talking about and I`m not sure if one can consider that place as better then it once was.....As far as the rest of the world goes, at least we at one time knew who are enemies where.As I said before, keep the faith and keep on rocking!!!

They're greatest songs were 1) Crystal Ball 2) Miss America 3) Blue Collar Man 4) Snow Blind 5) Renegade. The rest are the Dennis Deyoung songs, the has the personalty of a coffee table, thats why then sent him down the road. FYI Stxy was started as a 3 piece by James Young and Chuck and John Panozzo who were neighbors.

@MasterWitchDoctor Actually, they started the band with DeYoung (he was their neighbour, not J.Y). Curewleski was the forth member, and JY was actually the fifth member to join the band.
*Just though I'd point that out.

@EthanRaymond69 I don't know where you get your info from but Wikipedia get theirs (the info I sourced) straight from the band themselves. Maybe you should do a little research before you are mistaken about what you think. Use Wikipedia and enter Styx an read what they themselves have. Any misinformation on Wikipedia would result in slander and I'm sure you know where that ends. Dennis DeYoung is/as an afterthought.

@EthanRaymond69 after practice what I'm preaching I see you are correct in that it was Dennis and not JY.

@drummond62 I suppose you think "Babe" was a good song huh? The only good thing about that song was changing it before I threw up from listening to its whiney ass. He ruined Styx, point in case where the horrid concerts they put on in 1983 in support of Kilroy was here. Quite possibly the worst concert I ever seen. That was Dennis DeYoungs creativeness. A complete failure and watching 15,000+ people at the Hollywood Sportatorium boo him then walk out. Thats why Styx banned him from the band.

@coling94 You should educate your self about America's government... Maybe then you wouldn't speak so highly of the country. Or maybe you were just kidding?

@welderMTL So many fools today, saying America's evil! America is the symbol of freedom, we can do as we please. We also help other countries to become the same way. Why do you people fail to see that?

@welderMTL You can hate America all you want since you don't benefit from it in any way. You don't live, work, eat, sleep, fornicate, etc. in the U.S.A. You would be too conspicuous anyway. The instant somebody saw you they would just flush the toilet and you'd disappear. At least you keep the toilet paper manufacturers employed.

I don't think they were underrated, just that at the pivotal moment, Dennis DeYoung crossed that fine line from genius to madman. Too bad.

The part 4:31-5:07 is when I go back and listen again and again, "...Americaaaa...americaaaa...america. Americaaaa....americaaa...america". A nation now on a verge of collapse from national debt to 'parasites' within our borders; terrorists, drug cartels, illegal aliens, foreign and domestic gangs and our very own government. Along with this huge debt, we have become our very 'own' worst enemy. Remember 9-11-01 when 'certain' parasites known as 'terrorists' took 3,000 lives.

I concede to a few points you made ogdocvato except for a few things.For one thing, we are talking about this country and the direction it has and is taking.We have and are losing are place as the supposed beacon of light as we once where. That is what Styx was talking about and I`m not sure if one can consider that place as better then it once was.....As far as the rest of the world goes, at least we at one time knew who are enemies where.As I said before, keep the faith and keep on rocking!!!
