I received a bulletin on my myspace from reo yesterday saying that kevin was going to make a "very exciting announcement today on chicago's wlup. I joked around and said it was going to be there retirement but of course if that were the case that would not be exciting. So did anyone catch this? What was the big announcement?

Hopefully that they would bring Richrath back into the band and get some real rocking songwriting back in the band.

Yeah, but they could tell him if he gets on a treadmill and loses about a buck fifty, he's back in the band! :lol:

No but thanks anyway on that I noticed that the first time i clicked on the web page. The chances of richrath returning to the band is the same as dennis and as I quote the godfather JY "when we play hockey on the river styx" gotta love that quote. It might of been that but not sure who knows with those guys. I just wish styx would change there set as much as those guys do but what can ya do?
