Are you paying attention Froy and Rajah?

Personally, the credo that I go by is that there's enough room for everybody. I do have a preference for one, but have gone to see both and enjoyed the shows immensely.

There really is no valid reason to take sides. It's all good.

exactly! it was a great interview- very informative. Great stuff about glen, great stuff about tommy, and styx. i think that the door might be open for a reunion, but not for a year or two. I want to hear what he & glen are planning. and a re-recording of BAM? that should be interesting! although i hate to tell dennis, the "new record" he refers to is over 3 years old already. Damn! where has the time gone?


andrew- thanks for ALL the recent interviews. (DDY, TS, GB) they've added a tremendous amount of insight into what the future might hold.

I agree, to an extent. One of the reasons for the bitterness and "sides" is because that is how it started out. The waters have calmed considerably since then and, as we see, Dennis' new album is all about letting go and moving on.

While I can never be a fan of all the music made by Current Styx, I can certainly appreciate some of it, and I do.

I will not be going to a concert of theirs either standing on the front row booing or standing in the back row listening. I do appreciate the fact that those who do go and enjoy the band these days all come back with a smile and a great enjoyment for what they have seen/heard.

I WILL continue to support Dennis' career wholeheartedly and the more he does as a solo artist, the more I like it.

Do I pledge not to snark occasionally. Well....no, but I will try to, uh, restrain myself a bit more.

Doesn't apply to JY as he is actually in the band. Band infighting is always expected. This also applies to Dennis, Tommy, or anyone else who has been in the band.

JY is really the only member who has persisted in negative comments. And he has repeatedly insulted the work of Dennis, in (and out of) Styx, but has lately sort of backed off. To me, that qualifies as insulting the band.

Dennis was apparently referring to the fans, though, and that is a two-way street. Calling out Froy and Rajah, while perfectly within your right, is quite one-sided in my view.

I want the fans, the true fans of Styx and I mean true fans, to know that if you liked the band you liked it because of all of us. I mean that. No, I liked Lennon and McCartney best of all the Beatles, but I loved the Beatles because they were special together. That's my view of Styx. Man, rejoice in the music that we created together because we did create it together." - Dennis Deyoung.

I think Dennis just said it the best it has ever been said. And I agree with him. I loved the Band as a whole, and always will.
