Styx/Charlie Brusco drama @ the Leftsetz Letter

[bugsymalone]

After Styx went on tour without him, Dennis eventually started going on and on about how HE was responsible for the Styx sound, how HE produced every album, HE said that Styx fans were drinking Tommy's bathwater, HE said how he cried after listening to BNW. HE said how much of a hit Witness would have been if he produced it. Of course he also sued the band. That's what happened. Deal with it.

And if he was speaking the truth, finally, after suppressing it for many years, perhaps others need to "deal with it." Suing the band made complete sense to me.

This is the same thing I complained about years ago when Journey started using "I Love All Access". Sure, it's a way to avoid scalpers. But, the band, venue and Tecketmaster, is simply offering scalper prices for their tickets...and taking the income. So, there is no 'real' benefit for the buyer. That means you have NO chance of using any version of a Ticketmaster outlet to get in the first 15 rows. It simply won't happen at ANY of these concerts where there is this 'premium' seating and packages. I think it's a real BS deal for dedicated fans who follow the concert schedule and are the first in line, on the phone, on the internet to get tickets...they get screwed.

Very true, plus Ticketmaster also doesn't always put all the tickets on sale right away, putting nose bleed seats up first to try and sell them. numerous times I click on the link the second they go on sale and the best seat I get is 50 rows back sometimes. Weeks later friends of mine get better seats and usually a 2-1 deal because the show isn't selling well. Talk about pissing off your best customers!
