Styx vs Dennis DeYoung Night

Postby LtVanish » Mon May 07, 2007 12:01 pm

Don't know if anyone has mentioned or noticed, but both Dennis and Styx will be playing in the Chicagoland area on the same night. Saturday June 30th. Dennis will be in Lisle at the Balloon Fest and Styx will be playing the midwest bank theatre( worst venue I've been too) in Tinley Park. Just thought is was interesting.

Styx is opening for Def Leppard, so it's basically a hits set. Venue aside, not much to see here. I think it's pure coincidence.

DDY is on the Chicagoland beer tent tour this summer while Styx will be playing in 20.000 seat sheds.

I'm not keeping track of numbers ... Styx opening for bands like Def Leppard and Deep Purple are great ideas as it gets them in front of new crowds.

DDY is playing decent venues on his own and who cares if it's a "beer tent" or a theater? It's not like Styx hasn't done them, either.

Both sides are not doing anything vastly different from each other. Life would be so much happier if people realized it.

Chicago, Froy believes everything he hears. That makes him more of a selectiove human than someone who doesn't believe anything.

Now that is funny - talk about putting out wrong information to make a point...

Styx will be the first band on the list - no one will be coming to see them and their 45 minute set. Its all about Def Leppard..

Maybe 2000 will be in the arena, the lights will be on, and what few folks are there will not be paying a damn bit of attention to what the joke is on stage.

After seeing Leppard last year, I think Styx can blow them off the stage. Foreigner probably can, too.

YUP. Def Leppard doesn't play until they press "PLAY >"
NO. He's NOT Steve F'ing Perry. But he's Arnel F'ing Pineda and I'm okay with that.

Someone is misinformed. Styx will be on right before Lep. The lights will be off and they will kick ass just like they did in front of Deep Purple. You can find lots of reviews here. http://forums.melodicrock.com/phorum33/list.php?f=1

Hey Froy did your "inside source" say anything about another "secret meeting" with DDY and Styx, like the one in Florida, since they will be in the same area?

Yes, TS, CP, and JY will drive out to Lisle, IL (about 25 miles) after the Styx show to sit in for the last song at DDY's show. Chuck is setting it all up!

The only thing close to a joke on stage is DDY and his bar band (only exception being GB). Keep the decibels at senior citizen level boys.

As usual, I agree with NIG. Joe Elliott sounds like Tom Waits these days.

P.S. NIG, the funniest post ever...you made it on the Journey board. Someone asked you about your avatar (the current one), and your response was "he's yelling at Friga for writing "Open Arms". I pissed my pants for about a half an hour.

That's true. They should have used it for the MTV Kiss tribute thing last year. Joe sounded worse than Eddie Vedder gurgling dog shit and terpentine.
