Let's put it this way he was blasted in a big way,
The guy is a pawn and a follower, Completely ruined STYX and has brought nothing to the table and he still goes along as if everything is ok.
Larry Don't sing anymore Dennis songs thats all Im going to say

Honestly, that's pretty inappropriate. You may not like the guy, but he's doing a job he was hired to do. I am not a fan of his voice on some Dennis songs, but I do like a lot of what he brings to the table. He does a good job, is a very good musician, and by all accounts, a nice guy. I wouldn't be proud of what you just did.

Froy,

Why blast Gowan? He is getting paid to do a job. If you want to blast someone, blast Tommy, JY, and Chuck. They make the business decisions of Styx. Everyone knows you don't dig Gowan doing Dennis's songs, but I think you would dislike anyone doing Dennis's songs other than Dennis. If Sir Paul were singing CSA, you'd bitch. Direct your anger toward the situation that is Styx and all of the parties that led to this divorce. Don't take it out on the guys that are getting paid to do the best they can to perform the catalog.

To blast Gowan for a business decision that Tommy and JY were 95% responsible for is inane. The only input Gowan could have had would be to say that this is jumping the shark and he would be willing to lose his paycheck over this decision. I don't like this idea for a cd too much, but I'd have done it if it pays the rent.

You do know where your e mail is gonna end up right froy???

First off, I doubt he's going to care very much. Secondly, whatever your feeling about his voice, Lawrence Gowan is a nice guy who really doesn't deserve deliberate disrespect from anyone. if you don't like him, don't like him, that's your right . . . but what are you gaining by insulting a person you probably have never even met? That's nuts, and it ought to be beneath you. It ought to be beneath EVERYONE, and if it isn't, then you should set your aspirations higher.

And as it's been pointed out, Gowan makes none of the decisions, so if the band has been ruined in your opinion, he's not the one who did it. What's he supposed to do, NOT accept a great gig in a successful band because a guy he doesn't even know isn't there anymore? When you got offered YOUR job, did you say, "No, thanks, this job really ought to belong to so-and-so"? Of course not, that's deranged.

Lastly, how could this possibly matter this much to anyone not in the band?

you've never even seen styx with him

Congratulations Froy!!! You have just stirred up more support for LG then I have seen here in a while. Even if LG were to walk away, they would replace him with someone else. I think Gowan is extremely talented and he fits into the band perfectly.
Thanks Froy!

I am a fan of the classic Styx always. I really do think that Larry is top notch talent, wish Styx would do another full album, and give Gowan a chance to write more. I have met Larry once, and he seems very nice and down to earth I really can't say anything bad about him at all. My only complain was on "Rockin the Paradise" on Styxworld live, that wasnt good.

I couldn't have said it better than this. Froy, you're about one ten thousandth the person that Gowan is. Just live your own life and go see Dennis when you get chances to. You're happy, Dennis is happy, Lawrence is happy.

I'm not a big fan of Gowan doing Dennis' songs but I will say this.......what you did was inappropriate, stupid and downright childish



Robin

You have more balls than i ever thought you had. You really are SICK & need help. Do you really think in your sick little mind think he cares???????? I was really trying to like you but not now nor ever will i try again. Go back to your hole & live in the pass with DDY.Everyone has moved on but you.If you would do this to him what else would you do??? I think its time to just back off. Because if he is anything like Perry your sorry ass will be in jail.And Perry has done it to crazy fans.Mr Gowan if you are out there i am truly sorry that jackass did this to you.



Your fan

Baby

Thank You Sterling

Froy,

I have met you in person.

You are a nice guy.

But your grammer is so bad, odds are your message to Gowan made no sense whatsoever.

Im very proud as a true STYX fan to let this guy know that he is the reason the band has bottomed out.
Facebook let's you email anyone and I let Larry know exactly how I felt about what he has done.
Now he is going to copy Dennis and put it on a cd that is where he crossed the line.
Im sure if they told him to dress up as Bozo The Clown he would do it because he is hired to do whatever they tell him.
Not inappropriate at all

If you want to e-mail anyone, you should e-mail Charlie Brusco. He's the money grubbing sleaze bag that has taken the band down this path. The guy has no decency. And then blame JY who is the one who is adament about never having Dennis back. And then blame Tommy for not growing a pair and standing up to JY.

"Babyblue"]You have more balls than i ever thought you had.

Hey you said I would be afraid to tell Gowan how I felt, I let the guy know he is not welcomed other than by groupies like you,
If I ever met the guy he would get the same blasting, Stop coping Dennis Larry

Your right I agree, Its the rerecording of Come sail Away on the regurgitation cd that really proves this guy is just a puppet.
Is he so afraid they would dump his ass if he did not do it. Does he think this song is his now?
How to ruin a legacy he is doing just that

What surprises me the most froy is that YOU KNEW how to use facebook and actually KNEW how to send larry (assuming it was the real one) an e mail

I think i have an idea at what he said

"larry you suck" the end

Here's his follow up e mail

"I'm sorry larry i just sent you that e mail so i can keep up my rep from melodicrock.com. Truth is i secretly love you and i can't wait to hear the regenerations vol.1 cd. You rock larry.

your pal,

Froy"

yes it is froy is a nice guy i've talked to him a couple times myself i just don't get all the hatred to the one guy that had nothing to do with the situation If he want's to be mad at someone be mad at tommy & JY

Froy, Froy, Froy....

I can't even put into words of what you did, I will have a talk with you in person next time I see you - in July!

I should put up that picture of you and Gowan I took when we were in Canada. It looks like you have a man-crush on him - LOL

I don't agree with what Froy did and I don't agree that people are still sending Dennis hateful mail and that goes for every musician and celebrity. I know everyone has a right to their opinion, but sheesh, enough. When I interview bands/musicians we sometimes talk about this and it's interesting and sad on their take of their experiences with this.

By the way Froy, did you ever see Gowan's brother?
