Chicago Guy

I happen to be browsing forums and DDY Talk popped up.

Great Performance by George's Son Dhani! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2HSmsctFTU

Well Folks! looks like another year of Blue Collar Man, Renegade, Too Much Time On My Hands,Fooling Yourself. If,you wanted you could paste the best of off of YouTube and watch over and over from the comfort of your home. I don't know about any of you, but to listen to the same group of songs and to PLAY THEM for better than 10 years would be come really boring........... I guess it bothers me because at one time I really enjoyed Styx. I'm a big fan of bands that came out of Chicago, were I grew up. I know people need to support their families, but it like t a well that ran dry so long ago, why not try to create something different, bury the hatchet ,Bring back Dennis? Killing the Thing That You Love?

At this point in time I thought that styx would have called it a day........... Nothing really new since Cyclorama, couple of middle of the road songs, collection of remakes, same 10-13 songs played live for 10 plus years. Wow! talk about beating a dead horse?

Gary Cherone-Van Halen

There are some good singers on the list , but not good replacements. Paul rodgers is one of the best, but not in Queen. Ian Gillian is another one, but not in Black Sabbath. Larry Gowan I don't hear it,he has a awful voice? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Do5rStVLGeQ

1) LarryGowan-Styx 2) Gary Cherone-Van Halen 3) Rpper Owens-Judas Priest 4) Paul Rodgers-Queen 5) Johnny Solinger-Skid Row 6) Blaze Bailey- Iron Maiden 7) Arnel Pineda-Journey 8) Ray Wilson-Genesis 9) Tommy DeCarlo-Boston 10) Ian Gillian-Black Sabbath

Still to this day I just don't get the appeal of Larry Gowan? He's plays the keys alright. But his voice is one of the worst I have ever heard.....

Do you think Styx will put out something after 10 years without a studio CD?

Tommy and J.Y. on That Metal Show ? http://hairbangersradio.ning.com/forum/topics/that-metal-show-season-10-guest-announcement

My wife and I seen The Monkees last June ........ http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/29/us-davyjones-idUSTRE81S1T520120229

Styx should bring back Dennis for one more tour ! according to that lastest interview with Dennis, He's willing. I not sure how many dates Dennis would do? I say Styx should go for it! I just can't handled Larry's singing..... I want Styx with Dennis singing own songs!

Classic rock artist in my opinion are fading towards a end. No markret for the music anymore, Trying to use yonger singers to capture the glory days, Queen maybe using Adam Lambert. Journey with Arnel Pineda, Gary's guitar missing from REO, Dennis missing from Styx. Van Halen trying recreate their past, I'm sure If I like the songs from the new CD? Jethro Tull playing with one orignal member. Dire Striats ex members playing out as The Straits.What about Foreigner, one orignal member. Now the orignal guys from Black sabbath maybe missing one key member Bill Ward because of money. When it's to water down it's time to say goodbye. Maybe start a new group? Write some new quality music. Alot of these guys strated out playing as kids and it was mostly just about the music.........
