Is it still Styx with none of the original members playing in the band on a given night ?
will fans be getting their money's worth watching a band with neither JY or DDY harmonizing with TS ? with no rythem guitar behind the solo's ?
Just wondering at what point it becomes something other than the essence of Styx ? ( or was that point already crossed at an earlier time....??? )

It has not been STYX for 10 years most everyone knows that.

If Dennis replaced JY, would it be Styx?

If Chuck came back and played Bass with Tommy, Todd, Larry and Ricky on rhythm guitar...I could almost buy that.
Better yet have Chuck on Bass with Tommy, Todd, Larry and GLEN on guitar...that'd be even better.

No way is Chuck going to play a full set. 1. I don't believe he is able and 2. it would mean that Ricky would be gone when JY came back. Can't see it happening.

why would ricky go anywhere? he'd be back playing bass. but i agree, chuck's health issues prob are still a bit risky for him to comitt to a full show. they are playing 70 minutes right now, which he might be able to handle. but after the boston tour ends- who knows. still, i think it's a good idea. they can't bring glen in, as much as i would enjoy seeing him back w the band (and to his own dismay LOL). they need someone "on call" to be ready at a moment's notice, and that would mean someone who is already part of the touring entity. having chuck fill in would make the most sense. but- what about Keith or Jimmy? they are both guitar players- but they have their own jobs to do behind the scenes. it's a tough situation, no doubt. here's hoping that susie and JY are together for a VERY long time to come.

Most dinosaur rock groups are touring, largely, as partially their "classic" selves and partially their "current" selves.
I understand the money involved is often enormous and will set these band members up for the rocking chair years when the rocking years are long over.
So I see the band "Styx" now as it is in the context of all those other bands, some with only a single member from their salad days. (I'm looking at YOU Foreigner!).
I am personally not interested in what Styx is doing, though I will occasionally catch a performance on TV or YouTube and will check out any new music out of curiosity (and, of course, the laughable antics and vocals of one Gowan...but, again, that is MY opinion).
So, yeah, in view of how things operate in the here and now of classic rock music, it is still "Styx".

Here's another hypothetical. 5 years from now health reasons, or just fatigue cause both JY and TS to hang it up for good.........
Could the remaining 3 hire 2 guitar/vocalists and rightfullly call themselves Styx ?
