I enjoyed "Kiss Your Ass Goodbye". I guess I'm one of the few Dennis fans that actually doesn't listen to that song and think they're singing about him on that one (even though I can't say that for many others on that album).

Of course, Tommy and JY only gave glen 2 songs out of 14 on the album - while Dennis gave him 4 out of 10 on Edge - so there's really not much of Glen to hear on this record outside of his backing vocals. I didn't care much for Killing That Thing You Love.... it's not a bad song.... just not one I really like all that much.

Killing The Thing That You Love was as has been stated on numerous occasions written years ago.......... dont you believe Glen when he says these things....I mean he is working with DDY now so he must of been telling the truth all along. The same people who think that KTTTYL is about DDY probably think the Styx song Eddie is about the guitarist in Van Halen.....

I'm a total DeYoungian and when I asked Glen about the lyrics to the song back in 2003 and the whole Dennis hoopla about it, I believed in his response to me and I'm pretty sure that I didn't go on about the lyrics on the songs, well on these sites at least - LOL No seriously, I do believe Glen and I even talked to the different camps about this back in the summer of 2003.

So Eddie was really about Eddie Van Halen??? (just kidding, I'm not blond anymore-LOL)

I never said it was - stop being defensive and accusatory. I only said I didn't like it. I didn't like it when he named it "Lennon's Assassin" and I don't like it as "Killing That Thing You Love".

It's not all about the drama.... but some people :cough:darren:cough: don't seem to be able to take anything without it being cast in a dramatic light.

Ash, You really can't count the shorts on that album as full out songs. And don't forget that they were dealing with four primary writers instead of three, so the dynamics are a bit different.

Thank you. Four singers/songwriters instead of three. You could also say (complain/remark/moan) that Dennis "only gave" JY one song on Edge, as opposed to two that Tommy "let" him have. Seemed pretty even to me - If Tommy's now the "recognizable voice" of Styx, he would have the dominant number of songs on the album (six, if you include the shortened version of "Foolin' Yourself"), then everyone else got 2. Actually, I sorta count "Yes I Can" as a duet because both Tommy and Glen sing throughout most of the entire song.

So, we have:
Tommy 5.5
Glen 2.5
JY 2
Gowan 2
BillyBob 1

I am not sure about this, and I defer to the experts, but weren't all the songs on the Cyclo album credited to "Styx" with no individual songwriters listed?

ACK!!!!!! Billy Bob ACK!!!!!!!

Anyway, seriously, since I don't know the history of Gowan, when he was a solo artist, did he write his own songs?

I'm just curious. Obviously Glen wrote his own songs and songs for other artists.

I think that was one of the problems with that album, too many singers.

You are correct, Froy. I misread the question. I thought Bugsy asked: "Weren't there songs on the Cyclo album that were accredited to Styx..." not "werent all the songs..."

Thank you for pointing out my error. lol

Yes all the songs were credited as being written by Styx, but it was also said that the person that sang the song is the one that brought the basic framework to the band.

The crediting of Styx as the writers was done to show they all had input into the songs in some manner shape or form.

So, since Billy Bob sings the pig song, he must have brought the idea to the band. Therefore, that song has absolutely nothing to do with Tommy and/or JY's feelings towards Dennis. Billy Bob hates Dennis.

Exactly. Unlike EotC, where IMO, it doesn't sound like JY had hardly any input on the songs, except for Homewrecker. That is why I have always felt that Edge sounds the least Styx'ish of any Styx album to me.

Don't you just love saying that title, "Big Band Theory". Just reading it when you write it makes me feel all tingly! I certainly don't need no doctor when your around.

How did you come to the "continue to" and "threads conclusion? I brought up the "new Styx greatest hits" from several months ago (hardly 5-6 years) and those one. Way to exaggerate.

You get my drift man. You still didn't answer the question why do you continue to bring up old threads? Why don't you bring up the very first thread :roll:
