Love this song love the performance!!! Saw Tommy with Styx last year close enough to touch :) he still has the purest voice and is so talented beyond words!
I have nothing against Jack, but what's he doing in this song? He sings the easy bits, strums the easy chords and got lost in the chorus and went with Tommy's voice. Tommy does the high parts, the guitar solo and the best strumming parts AND he also threw a pick to a fan's face.
Why do people never seem to mention Tommy when talking about great guitar players? He is such a musical player. Great singer, writer, player, showman.
I didn't even know that Shaw is Styx' guitarist :O I think I'll listen to their records more often now ;) I also realised that this is the same session from where Guitar World had put an old Night Ranger song up! These '80s bands have great and heartfelt songs which has real stories. I think that it's time that this kind of rock makes a comeback :(
In my country (Mexico) there is not music like this, people only hear fuckin' reggaeton and pop music, there is no good singers and much less artists like this two guys, so I'm very glad to hear Shaw Blades right now, this song like me too much since i've heard for the first time in 2004. Tommy Shaw has a great high voice and I would like to sing like him and Jack Blades is the perfect complement, thank you!!
Does anyone think that their acoustic sound preserves their voices longer? They sound really good. Many of the other musicians from my era do not sound too good.
I caught the pick Tommy threw at 2:30 seconds. It is a white pick with "Shaw Blades" written on one side with Tommy's printed signature on the back. The tip is busted off.
Now I have Tommy Shaw's finger print and DNA. I am going to clone him.
What great performances are we gonna get linked for the 2012 show that kicked off today? =) Love this rendition .. how bout a giveaway? *wink !! lol
