LG: We have lots of new things. The problem is: There’s this insatiable demand for the band to play around the world. So to find the time to really dedicate ourselves properly to making a full new album is very difficult.

But having said that, it’s always on our minds. You never know. We could end up doing it before the end of the year.

The problem is: There’s this insatiable demand for the band to play around the world as an opening act.

Insatiable great word there Garry
I have never seen a bunch of guys so delusional in my life. Demand to play around the world what a freaking joke.
Gowan is sick in the head,

When you think about it, what other gig does he have to rely on? Nothing. Before being hired by JY\TS, nobody really knew of him outside of Canada. Of course he is going sugar coat, embellish or overstate reality since this is his only meal ticket.

Not knowing anything about the Canadian music scene compared to the U.S., I wonder why it is that some Canadian acts don't cross over well here, and there are probably U.S. acts that don't cross over there. We are connected countries; I wouldn't think it would be difficult, but who am I to know. Does anyone know why there is such a chasm between the music of both countries?

And, how many Grammy nominations has Dennis, or anybody else in Styx, received?

Who cares, Styx without Dennis is useless, he still sounds great, stupid fools......

And, you skipped, these, which are NOT nominations:

On November 16, 1998, Gowan received the prestigious National Achievement Award from the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN).

In 2003, Gowan was presented with the SOCAN award (along with three other musicians) for songs that have surpassed the 100,000 radio airplay mark for his song, “Moonlight Desires”.

Gowan's solo success pales in comparison to Styx'. So it really doesn't matter. It's like comparing apples and oranges.

Success is relative to the region. Gowan had about the same success in Canada as Styx did in the USA. He had two MASSIVE albums in Canada in the 80's along with a HUGE comeback album in the mid 90's.

Nice try. Styx was known WORLDWIDE, Gowan really only saw success in his home Country. I still say that pales in comparison to Styx.

Actually, I would say 'my God can beat up your God". It's really obvious that Styx had a much more successful run then Gowan did alone. If you can't see or comprehend that I don't know what to tell you.
