Why Me Live

Postby Cassie May » Tue Aug 02, 2011 10:17 am

Just found this on YouTube. Kind of a crappy recording, but still a good listen. One of my favorite songs off Cornerstone.

One of my favorites on Cornerstone. Even with the low quality of this recording you can still hear what an excellent live act this band was.

Amid the muddle of sound, DDY's voice still shines through. A total powerhouse of a singer.

Wow, thanks for posting that. That's actually my favorite JY guitar solo. I like how that type of song takes him out of his comfort zone, and I really enjoy hearing him play against and then in unison/harmony with a sax. It really forces him to think and articulate very differently, instead of just falling back on his "look at me play fast" thing that he does.

I know not very many people might agree, but I always thought this was a better song than it gets credit for. Great pop/rock track. Even Rolling Stone called Styx "a great pop band" when 'Cornerstone' was released.

I think that even Dennis downplays this song.

I know, but I respectfully disagree. It's a great song that just wasn't a radio hit. That doesn't mean it's no good.

I agree. I bought it as a 45 single after hearing it on the radio.
