Dennis's New Band

[pinkfloyd1973]

if that song had been released on an album you guys actually like as in Gi, P08, or Ct, or god forbid KWH(which sounds like a monkey being sodomized by a robot) you'd all be going on about how great it is

Doubtful...even albums like GI PO8 or CT have a turkey or two on them

There are 3 new youtube vids of Dennis and his crew going accoustic. Best of Times, part of renegade and part of fooling yourself.

Here they are.

i wrote the chorus, no wait that was tommy(the good part of the song) Tommy and I wrote CSA back in our MS Funk days, if you ever come across the tape give it a listen

I just don't see them doing a piecemeal offering. Styx seems like a go big or go home kind of band.

What do you call Just Be and Everything All the Time?

They were on an album - albeit live, but not just dumped out there on their own. I didn't really like them and have been on record with that opinion for a long time. Just Be plods and puts me to sleep; one of the worst Styx songs in quite some time. Everything All the Time is mediocre at best. If that's the best Styx can muster, I'd rather they not release anything new.

Can't Stop Rockin' could be considered a piecemeal thing, but at $25 for one song, who are they kidding?

Dennis does Dates, not really a tour.

The post I was replying to was saying it all boils down to somebody willing to put down the money to make it happen.

Online distribution or not, someone's got to pay for it. Everyone thinks they can do a good recording in their bedroom. They can't. Good equipment can still make terrible recordings if you don't know what you're doing. For a band like Styx, recording is a production from beginning to end. It also means time off the road, etc. Styx is all about the road at the moment.

You are not reading what you are replying.

I am saying: Write a song. Perform the song live. Record that performance. Put that on iTunes.

There is no studio involved or "time off the road".

I never said iTunes isn't distribution, but it's only one form of distribution. Retail is pretty much dead for CDs - that I agree. Even used stores are pretty much pathetic or gone in the USA. Japan is the last vestage of good record shopping left, and it's not as good as it was even 4 years ago.

Not my point. If they want to get new songs 'out there'...recording it live and putting it on iTunes is very cheap. Money and time is not an excuse.

The only people complaining about a lack of new Styx music are the few I've seen here.

So? That doesn't mean they can't do it. If they have any desire to record, there is a way to do it.

Whenever I've seen Styx or Dennis since 1999, I NEVER hear anyone asking for or talking about new tunes.

What difference does that make? I don't hear anybody COMPLAINING about the newish songs either....in fact, people really like Walrus and One With Everything.

The only people who really care are longtime fans, and that's not where they are making the money. Most of us don't see them enough. They're touring on the strength of the catalog and the people's memories.

What's your point? They can't tour and make money off of nostalgia AND perform one or two new songs ever night, record those, and release them on iTunes to make a few $'s, too? Seems to me that if they did that, everybody wins.

That seems pretty logical. They could make beer cost twice as much during new songs and pay for the songs in no time.

Exactly. So. Since they have not done this, what you say about their desire to record must be the problem. Apparently there is no interest on their part to create new music and put it out there for public consumption.

And Walrus? New music? Uhm...ok. To me, that is digging deep into the nostalgia well of music they had no part in creating in the first place.
