Rumours are going around that some of the bands approached are

Heaven And Hell (Dio version of Sabbath) ....CONFIRMED
Def Leppard
Scorpions
Styx

Styx outsold all of these acts. Why are they now an opening act for a couple of second-rate bands? I'll exclude Def Leppard as the were monsters in the late 80's But the Scorpions haven't had a hit since "Winds of Change" and Sabbath hasn't had a hit since the mid 70s.

Oh wait I know why ther're an opener... because this is not Styx... it's DFB.

Well at least they are finally with the head bangers that JY has always wanted to tour with..

So Styx is alive and well because 1 person likes the dvd?
Doesn't take much for you to like a band
When it hits multi platinum then get back to me
Thats when they will be alive and well again

Oh DEAR , nearly 1000 shows in 7 years , thats how many millions in attendance ??, how many have asked for their money back ??
When they play to empty bars get back to me
thats when they will be all but dead

No there all but dead because nobody is buying the DVD
There all but dead because they have been parading aroung doing the same show for 6 years
There all but dead because without a huge headliner they sell 1000 seats
There all but dead because Tommy Shaw and JY can't write together they do not have the chemistry.

Exactly Thank You with all of those people in attendance you would think they could sell more than 5000 copies
YOU JUST PROVED MY POINT

no way did STYX outsell Sabbath or Scorpions in UK or Lizzy for that matter. I was at the first Monsters in 1980 RAINBOW , JUDAS PRIEST , SCORPIONS, APRIL WINE great gig!!!
STYX were never huge in the UK during their heyday, except for "babe" which brought in a different kind of fan, more of a cult following

CD/DVD sales mean jack shit these days froy, folks just download of the net, or steal it off limewire or other file sharing sites (i know I do)

There all but dead because they have been parading aroung doing the same show for 6 years

yea , and folks just keep coming back, they put on a great show

There all but dead because without a huge headliner they sell 1000 seats

not the shows i've been to , in UK and States

There all but dead because Tommy Shaw and JY can't write together they do not have the chemistry

and Brave New Turd proved that DDY , TS, and JY can't either . the chemistry died in the 80s .just enjoy what both are doing, I do!!!!!!
