Tommy has not one, but two project going on outside of Styx - Influence 2 and now the Bluegrass album (not to mention any DY reunion discussions). My bet is that he will become more and more involved in those and less involved with Styx. There will be a Styx tour this summer (one of those oh so stale package tours) and then Tommy will focus his energies on his solo career. So, where does that leave Styx?...in the toilet. JY has no viable options if Tommy focuses more on his solo stuff. LG will go back to Canada and do another solo album and tour (which he has been hinting at for a while), Todd will do his session stuff or hook back up with Brian Wilson and well Ricky...who cares...he will craw back into his cave for a while.
So, see Styx now if you can stomach hearing the same 9 songs that exclude most of their big hits...because after this summer it may be awhile....

Keep dreaming Toph

so why would tommy stop doing summer runs where they get atleast 50,000 a night to play clubs for 20,000
as for solo i dont think he ever had a gold record.
even though i dont like the triple bill shows because of shorter sets, they will contine until us geezers quit going

That's not true. I saw Damn Yankees in large arena on the tour supporting their Don't Tread album. Jackyl opened. You couldn't call Jackyl a co-headliner by any stretch of the imagination.

Jackyl are a band that had some 'hit' song that featured a chainsaw being used as an 'instrument'...and they did a very short set...which is good cuz I thought they sucked.
And, he's right - I saw them with Dayle in Sacramento and DY headlined. Lotsa fun...Dayle got a pick and I almost caught Tommy's (or Nuge's) hat...don't remember who tossed it.
Ah, such good memories...back when these forums were actually fun....and DDY fans could put up with Tommy'ish fans for a week in their house, and take them to a DY concert. Ah, well, guess the hatred is better suited for some people.
