http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SpeW8GP ... ideo_titleWhile Larry certainly doesn't do it as well as Dennis, I am glad they are giving this song another try. Did he totally suck on it around 2000 when they had been performing it? YOU BET! But I think we can all agree that Larry has gotten better at singing Dennis's songs. (the Grand Illusion/Pieces of Eight tour would have been a BIG DISASTER in 2000.) This one has the dramatic, showy attitude/feel that I would think would suit Larry well. With a little work, I bet he can do it at the same level that he does all the other Dennis songs.
....Bring on the jobs from froy!
I will admit that it's better, especially better than the version on Styx World: Live 2001. It borders on the horrific, but this most latest version appears that he's singing in a lower key, instead of that high pitched yelp. I'm not saying it's good... just better.
You can polish a turd but guess what? It's still a turd.
It doesn't matter what they do - you'll bitch about it. You bitch when don't play it...you bitch when they do.
He nailed this song.
The next thing you will be saying that it is better then Dennis' performance of the song. Nailed it is right. Nailed it to a cross and crucified it.
Whatever. I don't care if he does it better then Dennis or not. Dennis does his own thing and iit has nothing to do with this.
The fact of the matter is you went on for months about them not performing this song. Now that they do, and Gowan does a great performance of it, you still have to bitch about it.
Nothing this band does or doesn't do will satisfy you. You'll always find something to attack and insult. That is the way you are.
Great? What the fuck are you listening to? I said it was better. It no longer made me wanna hurt things, but great??? Not even close. I think you says these types of things to keep the ugly back and forth going between you and Boomchild.................. or Toph............................ oh yeah, and Froy.
I don't care if anybody replies to me or not. For me, the purpose of writing a post (here, Facebook, or even sending somebody an Email) is for me to express something that I want to say...not to expect a reply. Boom Boom is a hypocrite and a constant mudslinger who has nothing to express except his hatred of Styx. Toph was an attention seeking troll who DID post expecting to get attention and replies. Froyline is a froyline who half the time doesn't make sense and speaks in his own version of English that has to be deciphered to understand. That's just the way it is.
As for the rest, Boom's comment of not being able to polish a turd and his past ramblings about Styx not being able to perform this song have simply been proven to be way off. They DO NOT do such a horrible job performing it. That has NOT been the reason why they were not performing it. He complained when they didn't perform it, going on and on about it....then they perform it and he still bitches and complains about it. NOTHING the band does will ever be anything other then a turd to him.
And, yeah, I think he did a great. You don't. So what? The people who cheered at the end of the song seemed to REALLY enjoy it - and it is THEIR opinion that really matters. Not yours or mine, or especially Boom boom.
