Seriously, we haven't been able to reserve a puppeteer, and since Styx is always available and willing to play for anyone at any time, I thought I'd ask. They'll even get goody bags!!

If you had 20-30 grand, they'd do it. But you'd have to provide the PA and the spinning keyboard.

What's Styx up to?

Oh yeah, I forgot he is a big star in Quebec, where he decided to release a song. Hmmm...so he didn't want it released anywhere else? Hmmm..Let's see Quebec...population around 7.5 million which is a little bit smaller than New York City at around 8. 5 million. That's a huge deal man....alright! Woooooooo!

Hey Groteful aka Mr. Negativity :wink:

Not bad for a 60 year old guy. At least his first single from his new cd is STILL on the R&R Canada charts. I think it's GREAT that he IS a big star in Quebec, way to go Dennis!! I'm very proud of him!!

Are you serious? HE, Dennis wanted his song released in Quebec first? LOL, way too funny if you think that's true!! HE didn't want it released anywhere else?? LOL Funny again! I don't think summer is a really great time to release new albums, I'm sure Fall would be better especially before the holidays!!

I think it would depend on what equipment they would need to bring and how much time you are requesting for them to perform. Full concert, then Ash is correct 20-30 grand.

Heck, for a Styx acoustic show, I'd say starting around $10,000. Of course this wouldn't be done when they are in a middle of a tour, unless there was an open date and the location was close by. Also if they weren't on tour then you would have to add the cost of each member flying in from each of their locations, then usually the cost of transportation, food and lodging would be added.

They do pretty many private shows.

For Styx it is going to cost you around 20 thousand UNLESS you can get a hold of some Hamms, Schmidt, or Grain Belt Beer.

If you can get a keg or two of ANY of the above beer rumor has it you get Ricky for free!!

Again..it is GroteLUL. :D

I always have to have a little fun with some around here. :o Of course at 60 years of age Dennis should be proud of what he has accomplished. What you think I am a total evil numbskull? :twisted: After 1999, I am sure he had doubts this many people would still be interested in only him and I am happy things have turned out in a positive way for him.

Well, if that's what she's doing, she's NOT getting my copy! She'll have to pry it out of my cold, dead fingers first! But then, she'd have to take my computer, my iPod, two out of four CD's in my car, (I've got the CD everywhere!!), etc. She'll never catch me!! Mwwaaahaaha!!! :P

Okay, how old am I again? Someone remind me .... :lol:

That Suitemobile will be loaded up with DDY CD's. Might have to leave one of the kids up there to make more room. :wink:

MtlLady? Will you be inviting Suite in to see your DDY Shrine? :P

She's chartered the Titannic II so unfortunately most of those CD's will be under water soon. Suite will be okay as it's only the container that gets on the ship.......shame about the CD's though, they'll never get circulated in the US of A. Oh shit! MtlLady has one, I'll have to hunt that copy down quick :wink:

Congrats on going to Canada for a holiday Suite, that takes some balls :shock: :lol:

US border guards today let an American Citizen go free after a trailer load of imported CD's were ceased at the Canadian/US border. The issue wasn't the quantity of CD's it was the person hidden in the back of the lorry. Mr DeYoung was interrogated for 3 hours as was SuiteMB who was responsible for trying to bring Mr DeYoung back onto American Soil. Mr DeYoung was eventually sent back to a concert hall in Montreal, where as part of his punishment he will have to play free concerts for the remainder of the year. (This was deemed punishment enough for the Canadians, who were responsible for hatching the plan in the first place) US citizens breathed a sigh of relief and have praised the quick thinking of US border guard Mr T Shaw.

Lookalike Dennis DeYoung's have been performing throughout the US this year and until the US authorities change their stance on his entry back into the States, this will remain the case for some years. Mr Shaw seems to think while he's employed at the border, DeYoung will never return. Shaw's boss James Young was not available for comment :wink:

Suite, try going by sea and up through Mexico, that's your best option :wink:

Aw, man, leave one of those adorable kids at home? Bummer! :-)

Of course I've invited the SuiteLady up, but she's gone to another province alltogether! Double bummer. But, family comes first, as it should!! She'll get up here eventually, I'm not worried. :-)

Gummy bears have to be for the glycerin content, which is good for the voice, but what's with all the other candy?? Chocolate is notoriously not good for singers...
Weird list, thanks for posting.
