Tommy not an original member but he has been with them for over 30 years now. there are almost NO original members in the band anyway. Chuck makes cameos and I forget exactly when JY came on but I'd consider him original. Tommy was a huge shot in the arm to this group. He wrote most of thier hits. Styx got its big break from radio station WLS in Chicago with thier song Lady. Yes that was before Tommy but other than that one hit they had nothing. Tommy has contributed immesurably to to Styx.
I'm sorry, That's it! that's not a lot of people standing around! I hate Tommy! James Young should be the lead singer of Styx. Tommy's not even an original member. Who made him king?

It's good to have all the gay bands together so you can get all your gay soft rock out at one event!!! I would love to see these two with maybe Air Supply!
Both are probably the most well known members of their respective groups, but the irony is they both were not original members either. Still, once they joined REO and Styx got better and more popular.
i met them back in april... they got me into music altogether. i remember listening to them on the way to school in my moms car because thats all she used to listen to
Missed going to see them last night at the Mountain Winery, Saratoga, CA, but this video just shows me if they come back this way again, as far as a tour, I am diffently going to see them !!! Great music !!! Thanks for putting this on YouTube.com !!!
Yes, if you put one of these so called artists of today, like the one's who sing behind a sound man, or an "Auto tune" for one, how horrible they would sound live. There are very few artists today that can sing an acoustic arrangement. there are a few good bands out right now for good measure that make real music. We have to be bombarded by Kanye west's, Beyonce's and Lady GaGa's of this world, and the crap songs they record ! God bless classic Rock and Roll
I love Styx, but Tommy Shaw "lead singer of Styx". Better look up your history folks!
btw I saw the concert, the "mimic" can not pull of "Suite Madaam Blue" but I saw the original. Overall, I enjoyed the concert. I used to leove Tommy but the way he talked to the crowd, you would think he was unaware that Styx made him a star!
Hits galore. A lot of the best stuff by REO and Styx are the songs that don't get played on the radio all the time. Kevin Cronin and Tommy Shaw could play all day and never run out of songs. And yes I do know the words to all of them.
ATTENTION FOREIGNER FANS!! Sunday, February 21 @ 9 am EST- Only on A&Es PRIVATE SESSIONS - Rock out as FOREINGER performs their mega hits Cold as Ice, Double Vision, Urgent, Waiting for a Girl Like You and Too Late!! Plus, special guest appearances from SAMMY HAGAR, MARK RONSON and OZZY OSBOURNE! Set your alarms and DVRs because you dont want to miss this!!!
Dennis and Tommy were lead singers for Styx, and Tommy is still singing with the band. He is lookin' great! He is one serious frontman. Saw him last in 2007 when Styx toured with Def Leppard and Foreigner, the show was great.
NOT only was I disappointed from Styx and REO Speedwagon NOT showing up, even though they were BOTH on my ticket, Copps Coliseum REFUSED to give me my money back!!! I would have NEVER paid $85 for a concert to just see Def Leppard in concert. I TOTALLY got RIPPED OFF!!!! NOBODY at Copps Coliseum would give me my money back.
I will NEVER EVER go back to Copps Coliseum EVER AGAIN!!! RIP OFF!!!!
No.. that is NOT what happened. Foreigner was NOT on my ticket, and therefore was NOT scheduled to play in Hamilton, Ontario. My ISSUE is that Styx AND REO Speedwagon WAS ON my ticket AND SCHEDULED to play in Hamilton as an opening act to Def Leppard, but DIDN'T show up. I PAID $85 to see them BOTH, and Copps Coliseum REFUSED to give me my money back!! RIP OFF!!
I WANTED to see BOTH Styx AND REO Speedwagon play In Hamilton, ON at Copps Coliseum 2 years ago, but they DIDN'T show up!!! I PAID $85 to see them, but since they were the opening act for Def Leppard, and Copps Coliseum had to postpone the ORIGINAL concert in April to August of that year due to illness, so they brought in Billy Idol INSTEAD for an opening act, but Copps Coliseum officials did NOT inform the public that REO Speedwagon and Styx would NOT be playing. I was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!
thats very true if you take a hit song from the past & take away all the production & the fancy instrumentation & just sing it w/ an acoustic or two or maybe some percussion & an acoustic guitar & it still sounds great .. thats the sign of a true hit.
Dennis DeYoung was the lead singer, no one would even bother to say otherwise if they'd ever heard of Styx. He did the vast majority of the songs, and he did all but 2 of the big hits.
i miss dennis and his awesome songs but I still love Tommy Shaw. If you get a chance to go to one of their concerts do it. i went and it was AWESOME!! best concert ever!
if you guys have known kevin since 70's- he's always sounded that way.. before him there were a few other guys.. joe, mike and terry just for a few.. but the important thing is THEY STILL ROCK!!!
I don't know what is wrong with K.C.'s voice either. Sounds like a little girl. It's almost like he is trying to hard to sing. His voice it way to high.
CBS's Harry Smith and all of these comments are not completely right. Styx has three "lead singers". Lawrence Gowan replaced Dennis DeYoung, Tommy sings some lead, and so does James Young ("JY").
Person I have seen them 10 times I know who JY is.And Larry does sing some leads but Tommy has pretty much taken most of the songs over because Dennis wouldn't give them permission to use the other songs.
Sorry your wrong.. Dennis, and Tommy and at times JY was... Three Lead Singers... God would you people get things right... Dennis was not lord and master...
That's like saying Brian May and Roger Taylor were both co lead singers in Queen with Freddie Mercury. Which is...false. Dennis was lead, and he was the voice everyone remembers. Even my 50 year old mother, just heard him singing the other day and said "there's no mistaking that voice, this is styx right?"
Do you know who Styx is??? Tommy and Dennis done pretty much equal singing.. Jy did two songs a show maybe... But you believe what you will that's your opinion.... Dennis didn't sing every song.. HAve you ever been to a Styx show???
The vast majority of the songs were written and sung by Dennis DeYoung. Tommy sang several hits as well, but then again Brian May sang a lot of Queen songs too. No one considers Brian May a co lead singer of Queen. The singer and showman has always been Freddie Mercury, just as DeYoung has always been the memorable character/voice of Styx, and why people have lost interest now that he's gone.
I have been to 5 shows in the last three years.. 3 of those this year and my 6th show which will be my fourth for the year will be August 14th... with or without they kick ass.... no drama/broadway crap going on anymore thank god...
