If Styx is doing re-records, I think that will pretty much put the last nail in the coffin for me.
Love the band in either incarnation, but I'm tired of the live albums, and didn't dig the covers album.
They've already re-recorded everything they could do, though live. Come on...
Styx- NEW music, please!!!
I am already not buying concert tickets until they're doing new songs in the show. SO pissed I missed the Cyclo show (I was working)
If they do the re records they should do the journey thing, one disc new songs, one disc re record and as a bonus a live dvd.
We'll see! Rumors are merely rumors at this point. I can understand why bands in general have been re-recording hits, though, it's just easier to market stuff like that, while fans are generally disinclined to purchase new music and the market is set up not to support it. I hate that, and I bet most bands do, too, but what are they supposed to do? It's very tough right now and getting tougher all the time. I'd be curious to hear whatever Styx comes up with next, new or not. I'd rather see the band moving in any direction than sitting still.
