The DVD though seems to be in a few different stores, yet isn't available at Futureshop.ca or Bestbuy.ca (yet)
Over a 1000 copies of the DVD sold in Canada? Honestly.. wow. This could be a good thing. 5000 copies of a DVD sold in Canada is gold.
Air it on HDTV in Canada, etc and it could be gold before the fall.
Here's an idea Styx.. Maybe if you played more then ONE Canadian date a year, you'd sell more DVDs!

Those figures do NOT include internet sales.
Amazon.com, Bestbuy.com ect...... are not included on soundscans sales.
I believe the majority of our age group purchase their music in some form from the internet.

For everytime since 1999 he said 'It's Over' all of us that have supported the current rendition of Styx must take a drink.
How damn drunk would we be??????????
Fox news reports & the AP are reporting...... for some unknown reason some 3000 people ranging in age from 29 - 46 died today of alcohol poisoning.

Now do you all see what I have been saying
They lost money on this dvd
Its over Shaw and Young close it down
Gowan was a mistake freakin admit it already

Once again- CDs (PHYSICAL ONES) ARE NOT SELLING ANYMORE PERIOD. The electronic download has FARRRRRRRRR surpassed physical CD sales. For all we know (and nobody seems to be able to tell), the electronic versions of the CD could be doing big business (doubt it, but you can't go by CD sales and Billboard and Soundscan charts anymore. They're useless info nowadays.
AOR rules wrote:It´s not band´s fault if CYO is not selling,
Yes it sure is the bands fault
The band stinks in its current state
Nobody cares about Rickie Phillips and Larry Gowan
Everyone would rather have Dennis DeYoung and Chuck if not Chuck then Glen
Styx is 1 dimentional right now add the above and its back to normalit´s a classic piece of art.
Or a classic piece of junk
I´m selfish bastard and I´m alright with this situation, current Styx makes good music for me and if other people don´t understand greatness of it then so fuckin what.
Its not all about you my friend
You want to see the real STYX stay tuned Im going to show it to you very soon.And reunion is not the answer for this problem.
Wrong
Its the only way to fix this broken down vanThose guys could maybe last one tour together but there´s no way in hell that they would be together so long that they would record an album.
Never Say Never Da mee ja me ja mey
Styx heve never toured Scandinavia and probably never will so I much rather take that new studio album from current Styx.
Jodes wrote:But Blue.. If Dennis wasn't willing to be cooperative with the Brave New World sessions, what makes you think that any new music by Styx (with him in it) will sell more then 100 000 copies?
Hell BNW didn't even go gold in Canada, and usually Canada is the market they get album awards from first.
Hell, BNW only sold 72 000 copies in the US with Dennis IN the band.

What exactly do you mean by Dennis not being cooperative?
He was the producer of all the STYX cds except BNW because of Shaw and JY not being cooperative not Dennis.
BNW was produced very poorly.
BNW was not a band effort it was a phone in.
Lets forget about BNW
Lets look at On My Way and Paradise those are 2 great STYX songs ,.
Hell, BNW only sold 72 000 copies in the US with Dennis IN the band.
