Did Styx have the same in quebec?
. Dennis can't draw more then 1500-2000 people anywhere else outside of Quebec!
I think he sold out 6 shows in Montreal correct?
Yes I will agree somewhat, but Styx has been on a downward Trajectory since 1997..
No such thing as somewhat,Six well written tunes and 4 klunkers..
10 great songs and more to comePeople seem to forget that Dennis did a covers album.. nobody's slamming him for it..
He did not do 2 of them like Shaw and that was 20 years ago
Not under the Styx banner.Styx is doing headlining dates and doing 2 hour shows,

Wrong. He sold out when he pushed BABE on the band.

The other is an opening act on a downward trajectory.
One has a new album out of great well written tunes.
The other did a lackluster album of covers and yet ANOTHER live album
One is headlining (albeit in smaller venues) and playing a 2 hour show
The other plays 6 songs with the lights on as a warm up band.

As a STYX song, it's weak.

And it was a number 1 go figure

Again I'll say this...
"Oh Mickey You're So Fine" was also number 1. Was it a great song? NO.
Number 1 doesn't necessarily translate to "Good song".
"Come Sail Away" wasn't a number one song and that song BLOWS AWAY "Babe". How do you rationalize that Froy?

1.- Where has DDY gone with his new stuff besides Canada? 'Cause as far as I know, Styx is far more remembered than him as a solo artist in the rest of the world....
2.- Isn't it weird that DDY is making it this big (apparently from what I read here) in Canada nowadays, being that the current Styx singer is a "canadian rock icon" as well?

He must mean it is favorite Styx song because of it was #1.His second favorite Styx song is the one with the second highest chart spot.

I'm sure the DDY show is good and all, but anyone leaving it feeling that they have seen a Styx show has a pretty skewed notion of what "Styx" was/is.

The album has only been released in Canada. It has been extremely well received so it bodes well for a US release. As for Styx being far more remembered - no shit. Of course, the songs they are remembered for are the songs he wrote and the concepts he came up with and the albums he produced, etc. etc. etc - hey, one of those remembered songs was Babe! Maybe thats why when he tours - he can sing only his songs and people leave feeling like they have seen a Styx show while new Styx has to have someone else sing a bunch of songs Dennis wrote and people still leave feeling cheated.

Roboto got them more exposure when it was in a car ad than when it originally came out. I remember in 83 when it came out. Styx became UNCOOL in an instant.

Bullshit. Styx was ALWAYS uncool and to say that Roboto didn't give Styx exposure in 1983 is pure head-up-the-assness.
