Styx 81 - Fooling Yourself

[Strawberryeskiim0]

haha that voice he did at the beginning trolled me so hard! lol.

I thought someone had done some gay voice over! xD

[ambersalcove]

he kinda reminds me of John Denver why hadn't I noticed that before

[jamo387]

Usually I don't like Dennis DeYoung and his Mr. Roboto crap but he rocks on this song.

[IBADomDaddy]

@Hoopermazing Your righte. My redneck educasion is embarrising. If ownly I could just play the giutar like Tommy Shaw.

[IBADomDaddy]

Tommy is from Alabama. I'm sure he has some "good ole boy" in his lineage. He's definately not a redneck, though.

[sasoritol]

1 person is fooling themselves c:

[rockthecityatnight]

What a positive song this is, and really great music too! Love this band.

[ConspiracyGuy1]

He he, he said "album". Ah, the good old days.

[finsterthecat]

I was at the concert don't remember them talking so much

[TSOROCKS123]

It's true you could see plainly that he was acting. Duh. It's weird how he talks like that and then he sings really well. He has an amazing voice

[adam11036]

Was Tommy shaw drunk or something, he talked differently and almost forgot the song

[jiminalbany]

@adam11036 Are you retarded?  He was putting on a little "act".

[Thermionman1970]

I don't care what anyone says this song is AWESOME!! That portamento synth and those ninth chords etc. and the dynamics and different parts,bliss!!!

[guitarosaur]

@vinemelon "Kilroy Was Here" killed Styx.

[wakaw07]

Well they must have been good then because that album was really weak man!

[glimmer2158]

LOL! Was that supposed to be Tom Petty?

[johnnyrambo100]

haha are you sure his accent was fake?

[C3POROBOT1]

oompah loompah doobidy doo, I think that tommy, is one of us too.

[leeroynaggins]

Always loved this song!!

[GrayLeader2184]

Tommy's good with the "elderly southern gentleman" voice.

[SEEVIEGEENIE]

love the two diff image/angles, awesome.

I saw them same year as this, the show was a mind sticker ever since.

[materavo]

styx, sweet Tommy Shaw, awsome

[terminator91911]

T0mmy is such a great guy:D

[3impersonators]

Heh, heh. Shaw's funny, pretending to be an old man at the beginning. He looks like Mark Hamill in a couple of profile shots.

[ldjchgo]

What a song!

[bonzelite]

hahahahahhaha I like his fake accent

[raulevich]

meda la puta gana de hablar en castellano....styx una superbanda lleno el super bowl 3 noches seguidas..siempre tocaban antes de las finales de la nfl entre 1979 y 1981

[MarcusCMarcellus]

@raulevich habla el idioma que quieras, indio feo, pero como te interesa la cultural anglo-americana!

[und1sk0]

styx, so uncool they are cool

[qu625]

what's wrong with an Alabama accent?

[5150bythenight]

Nuthin! I just think it's cute, just like Tommy is cute!

[raulevich]

que buena banda styx ...y este tema es un polvo a la buena musica era del 77 una despedida del rock progresivo.

[5150bythenight]

En Englais, por favor?

[WillieBHardigin]

he looks like he has a dip in

[5150bythenight]

Are you kidding? Aside from the thick Ahlahbahmha accent at the beginning, this song is great! I loved seeing Styx back then, with my best friend. And for me, I dedicate this song to my best friend, Walter, the Merlin, who doesn't believe in himself, but has soooo much to offer! So, Walter, GET UP! GET BACK ON YOUR FEET! I love you.....lul...me

[5150bythenight]

Gad, when I saw them back in '77, I saw GOD! They were soo awesome..still are my favorite band.

[mattyblast]

It's too bad Denis DeYoung doesn't rejoin the group *without* replacing Lawrence Gowen. Have Lawrence continue to play his revolving keyboard and have Denis sing and/or play the keyboard that swings out next to Sucherman's drumset. That lineup would sell out arenas. It'll never happen, but I can dream, right?

[Azznbad]

No one but the band members know for sure, but DeYoungs ego would never allow him to share a stage with his replacement. Even if it were to happen I would hate to see the chemestry the band seems to have now to be screwed with. No they don't play before 80,000 folks any more, but the guys all seem to enjoy working together. Look at the Van Halen boys and see what screwed up chemestry does to a working band.

[wendy4145]

They got EVEN better with AGE!

[KM2008]

I mean, I love styx, I can't stand Tommy Shaw. He is not there for the fans anymore like he use to.

[hellpatrol666]

I hate to say it but I have to agree. Just my opinion, but wasn't the reason Tommy Shaw and JY threw out Dennis because they felt he was too controlling.. yet now it seems to be the Tommy Shaw show! I don't know that rubs me the wrong way..

[JohnnyCat77]

Old Man Shaw - life is imitating art these days!

[danodanodano357]

I was at this show I was 17 years old. I believe it .was the Paridise Theater tour

[DoctorAxe]

yeah this sux, really sux

[KM2008]

Lol!!

[jrdstyx]

@DoctorAxe if u dont like Styx then u suck y r u even watchin this then i think u do like them but dont have da balls 2 admit it

[hendrikom]

yeah this rocks

[shire2005]

I thought the old man bit was lame. And frankly a waste of time while we waited for this great song to start..

Could thing he didn't quit his day job for acting..

[BallofBase]

LMAO. Tommy does a GREAT old man. :-)

[KM2008]

More like a "paranoid" old man. That's what happened to him. Sad man.

[brennalee]

I saw them live in San Diego in '80 at the Sports Arena, just awesome! They rocked the place! Still leaves a smile on my face. I was in the 10th grade and it was my 1st concert.

[Liamsmom617]

Favorite Styx song EVER. They sounded damn good live back then.

[styxforever]

Fantastic 'oldie.' Great, gritty sound for the guys.

[styxfankc15]

Thnx for posting...I guess I did win a prize... just kidding. Cheers!
