There are many people on both sides of the fence on this subject. If they were all on one side of the fence then one side would not have anyone coming to their shows.

I'll take it even further. I bet if you conducted a poll among classic rock fans (who were aware/familar with Styx) and asked them, "Would you like to see a reunion between Dennis DeYoung and Tommy Shaw/JY and a tour of the classic Styx lineup?" Well over 90% would say yes.

Some may or may not like it but it is what it is. Having said that, it does not change my opinion of what and how things happened. Any reunion between DDY and the rest of Styx would only be for business\financial reasons at this point. They gave it a go '96 thru '99 and we all know the result. Unfortunately, some of these guys have wounds that will never heal. Very sad but true none the less.

One guy has a wound that will never heal.
There is still a feud,but it's behind the scenes. Doesn't rear it's ugly head in public much anymore. That has been the key the last few years. It always surfaces when they are asked about a reunion in an interview based on the response and counter response of the members.
