For the sake of argument and you are not just a troll that is stirring up crap, There isn't a true Styx fan that doesn't like Dennis's voice. If you don't like Dennis's voice, you don't like Styx.

Not true at all. I prefer Gowan's voice over DeYoung's. Not to say I don't like DeYoung's voice, but I think Gowan is a much better performer. That's all he's saying. He even conceded that "Dennis has pipes" but you need to realize that people DO like Gowan or Styx wouldn't be going on their 11th year with him.

I was at this concert, and Styx put on an absolutely fantastic performance. It was VERY chilly though, as noted by the heaters you see all over the stage. Glass Tiger was very weak in comparison (though still good in their own right). Styx has a great stage presence and they're all very talented.

Calling people stupid for liking a performer who is enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of other people as well... so weak...so pathetic. Your whole life is just crashing down now, huh? People actually like Gowan! You better go hide in a bomb shelter or something! I bet Gowan joining Styx triggered your midlife crisis :lol: :lol:

Gowan is not a performer he's a copycat get that straight. To title the post It's so Good and then you praise a guy for copying someone else and then rip the guy who wrote the song and performed it to perfection is pathetic. The bottom line is Gowan deserves no praise unless he is doing something other than copying Dennis. Take it to the Gowan board ,

For the sake of argument and you are not just a troll that is stirring up crap, There isn't a true Styx fan that doesn't like Dennis's voice. If you don't like Dennis's voice, you don't like Styx.


I will say this: The first time I saw Gowan sing CSA blew away the first/only time I saw Dennis sing it solo. Of course the crowd being 10x the size probably helped Styx a lot too.

I thought that was, at best, average. No emotion, no power and no sincerity in his vocals. At times, it sounds more like he's reading a book than singing a song.
