OMG! Say it ain't so! To be honest, I have been hearing rumors that Dennis doesn't like touring, so maybe that's why they gave him the boot.

Wow I hope Styx doesn't do any ballads or perform live with an orchestra or children's choir like Dennis does or perform Babe live again (unless a promoter asks them to) or do any version of Mr Roboto (unless a commercial comes out using the song)....

Yeah now Tommy can ROCK!! No more cheesy ballads....no more acoustic crap..just pure heavy metal!! Yeah, now that is what Styx is all about...Mettalica, Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, and Styx!

Just like when Tommy went solo...remember how he was going to rock! And then he put out that head banging Girls With Guns and Lonely School as his first two singles..man I just about broke my neck banging to those killer heavy tunes...

"My head was so full of rock songs, with no outlet for them" TS on BTM complaining about Kilroy. So yes he put out the rock anthem Girls with Guns, and don't forget Little Girl World. Lets be honest, the only thing these guys are doing different without DDY is touring non stop, even Damn Yankees had a couple of slow tunes. High Enough is a ballad and was probably their best tune.

I know, man. I was in the mosh pit for "Little Girl World" and almost got my arm broken. This was when he was doing the now-infamous Tommypalooza tour.

LOL, "Friendly Advice" . . . I guess the best summation of that comes from Tommy himself: "Really bad. Horrible." LOL, what else can I add to that? That about sums it up.

I hope all is well.

Oh for realz???? This must have just hit the internets.

Yay for Dennis! He may do some really good things solo. Get Hunchback produced. Maybe it will even win an award! :D Put out a really, really good album. (None of that Brave New World crap. ) Tour in Europe. Appear on National TV. Gosh. His prospects are endless!

Good luck, Dennis! You are sooooo much better off, now.

And Styx will be playing 20,000 seat arenas in 2009 on tour with other bands of the 70s and 80s while DDY spends another summer at my local rib fest because no one wants him on a nationally sponsored tour. He has never been on a real tour since Styx woke up and left his ass behind. (Unless you count rib fests and chili cook offs within 50 miles from his house and a few small free shows in Canada). :lol:

I did not know The Wisconsin Dells had a 20000 seat arena

He has never been on a real tour since Styx


And either has Styx
They have hid behind triple bills

Solo there worth 1200 max fans

You're just saying that so I won't rag on ya for the 378th "TOP OF WOOOORLD" comment. ;-)

Yeah, but I think it'll be a passing thing. I seriously doubt anyone with half a brain is going to hold a torch for a reunion for any length of time. C'mon.

Hard to write songs when you are holding a straw to your nose with one hand and cutting up white powder with the other hand.

You must have a different copy than I do, he's credited on all ten of the rocking tunes on my copies.

They didn't break up. The trousers were too tight and so they've been confined to the hospital for a lunchtime. Say what you want, they WERE bigger than Rod.

I think it was actually Ambition where he didn't do most of the writing. The only song he didn't have a "co-write" on was the best song on that album... Lay Them Down.
