Jab at Tommy/JY on DDY's website

by **Archetype** » Tue Jan 05, 2010 3:08 am

Also I noticed that the band's most watched video's are Come Sail Away, over a million views, Babe over a million views(although unfortunately this week it appears to have been taken down) Lady over 700,000 views and had Mr. Roboto not been taken down earlier this year it would now most likely have been over 1,500,000 views. I based this on the fact that Roboto always substantially led all of our other video's including Come Sail Away by a wide margin. That Roboto, he's like the Energizer Bunny. I wonder what the process is as to the comings and goings of these videos? Perhaps Babe and Roboto are resting peacefully in cyberspace plotting their return so they might continue to annoy a small group of people who somehow believe these tunes were a mistake. If they were I wish we would have had another 10 mistakes just like them, and I mean it. It is so difficult to write a song that first passes muster with your record company,(they will need to be convinced, see "Lady", Lorelei and Sweet Madame Blue as examples) then radio,(who are skeptical that anything is a hit record)to finally satisfying millions of strangers who must then go forth and put down their hard earned cash on the counter, well you get the picture. So when it does happen and then has the good fortune to remain popular for decades, I say fall on your knees and give thanks for your good fortune, cause that's what I do nearly every day. To all of you who have supported me these 37 years whether from the beginning or since last Thursday I offer a heartfelt THANKS FOR EVERYTHING.

I don't particularly know about the war between bandmates, but BABE will never
be a mistake in my book and although I wouldn't call ROBOTO a mistake, I'm not fond of it!! :wink:

Great read, though..."So when it does happen and then has the good fortune to remain popular for decades, I say fall on your knees and give thanks for your good fortune, cause that's what I do nearly every day." So TRUE!!!! :wink:

I evidently missed this VH1 episode of Behind The Music...why the split fanbase?!?!
What do they call you DDY followers?!?! :wink:

I want my 30 something seconds back from reading this articile. The title of this post is very misleading

I support "both sides" of the divide that Styx has been for the past decade or so. I just posted this because of the Todd Sucherman thing. My dream is to see a Styx with both Gowan and DDY on stage together. (like Chuck and Ricky)

What do you call perry followers? It's probably the same thing. I'm sure you could find styx's behind the music on youtube.

For the record. :wink:

He did not say JY or Tommy. Just "a small group of people."

And he is right about everything he wrote. However, Dennis, also for the record, you have a long way to go before you catch Susan Boyle in YouTube views. :lol:

I think he's talking about the 600 fans on the internet, personally.

by **Saint John** » Tue Jan 05, 2010 11:37 am

Hey, man, fuck it ... Dennis makes it sound like he fought for those songs and to the victor goes the spoils. If he's gloating a bit I don't blame him. His songs were the biggest hits.

That statement is too rational to make sense to the loonies on this board...

by **BlackWall** » Tue Jan 05, 2010 4:13 pm

It's interesting he mentions "Lorelei" and "Suite Madame Blue". Did A&M fight against these songs?

I agree...He is basicaly slamming the outspoken fans who argue that Babe turned the band soft, and Roboto was just lame. IMO, it's not much better then the 'bathwater' comment from way back. Insulting the fans, even if you are in the right, is NEVER a good idea.

I have to disagree with you. Insulting fans is great fun! ;-)

OK, but seriously, I do disagree in that I DON'T feel this was anything like the bathwater comment. To me, it sounds much less "pointed," and certainly less vindictive. Even as someone who has gotten in a jab or three about "Babe "in her life, I found it kind of funny and in no way "slamming." A little dig? Sure, but only in a self back-patting sort of way, not an "everyone who doesn't side with me is an ass-kissing buffoon" way.

Zan/Bugsy - Can you help me out on the Regrets poster? (OK insert that I'm an idiot crack here...), I've seen all 6 Star Wars and consider myself a knowledgable fan (moreso on episodes 4,5, and 6 than the 1,2 and 3), but I'm lost on this one...

Uh, over a decade.

And, originaly, Perry fans were Perryheads. That only changed a couple years ago on the Journey forum here. They called themselves Perryheads since the early 90's...before this forum even existed.
