Pathetic, pathetic, pathetic. DDY, you should be ashamed. You rolled the dice a decade ago and lost. It's time for you to give it up and go back to your show tunes. DISLIKE!

LOL DD thinks he is still relevant? Give me a break. Everything about this video sucks. Gowan and Styx will play rings around this bunch of losers. Tone of the guitar sucks (unless you were playing some Ozzy stuff, guess it would be passable). I guess about 12 Jack and Cokes will make it listenable. Let me drink about 20 more!!!

@mrszaxxirify ...LOL!!!!

well well...this is a disgrace. As a former DDY fanatic, I can be totally objective. This sounds like a band that runs the east coast circuit just for kicks and giggles. Dennis looks ridiculous and why is there an identical keyboard on the other side of the stage??And to the bitter taxed too much guy below, maybe you should thank Obama for making this concert impossible for you to attend. He did you a favor. Now when you get your refund check, check out a REAL keyboard player...Saint Lawrence G~

@StyxNut95 I agree. Have seen the band legally known as "Styx"numerous times since 1999 and this sucks. DeYoung had his chance to stay, but when he told the band he toured on his terms, and it was "his way or the highway," they took the highway and I am glad they did. Gowan, who is a much better showman and will play rings around DeYoung on a keyboard, was a great replacement. I've heard the same ole tired vocal argument regarding DD & LG for years. I will stick with LG & company!! JMO!!!

This does not sound even close to Tommy Shaw. I really dislike this version of the song.

Is that Tammy Faye?

All of Dennis's fans need to realize: He dug his own grave with Styx. JY, Tommy, Chuck, and John all hated "Kilroy". They resented becoming bit players, and realized that their core (rock) audience had stopped listening to the band because of "Kilroy". They were right. "Kilroy" was the reason I stopped buying and listening. Dennis, however would not listen to them. They went their own ways. But when a re-union was attempted later, Dennis backed out. When they went without him, he sued them.

I am sorry. Glen Burtnik is no Tommy Shaw. In Styx, Tommy, JY, and Chuck are still there. And they don't play "Mr Roboto"!

Amazing!!!! Tommy Shaw and James Young...eat your heart out. These guys deserve to carry the name of STYX. Dennis DeYoung is STYX!!! I just saw them last week at Pabst Theater in Milwaukee. It's called THE MUSIC OF STYX. I closed my eyes from time to time during the show and I felt like I'm listening to the original Styx band. Guys...you need to go see the show! They're on tour right now.
