Honestly, that's pretty inappropriate. You may not like the guy, but he's doing a job he was hired to do. I am not a fan of his voice on some Dennis songs, but I do like a lot of what he brings to the table. He does a good job, is a very good musician, and by all accounts, a nice guy. I wouldn't be proud of what you just did.

Froy,

Why blast Gowan? He is getting paid to do a job. If you want to blast someone, blast Tommy, JY, and Chuck. They make the business decisions of Styx. Everyone knows you don't dig Gowan doing Dennis's songs, but I think you would dislike anyone doing Dennis's songs other than Dennis. If Sir Paul were singing CSA, you'd bitch. Direct your anger toward the situation that is Styx and all of the parties that led to this divorce. Don't take it out on the guys that are getting paid to do the best they can to perform the catalog.

To blast Gowan for a business decision that Tommy and JY were 95% responsible for is inane. The only input Gowan could have had would be to say that this is jumping the shark and he would be willing to lose his paycheck over this decision. I don't like this idea for a cd too much, but I'd have done it if it pays the rent.

First off, I doubt he's going to care very much. Secondly, whatever your feeling about his voice, Lawrence Gowan is a nice guy who really doesn't deserve deliberate disrespect from anyone. if you don't like him, don't like him, that's your right . . . but what are you gaining by insulting a person you probably have never even met? That's nuts, and it ought to be beneath you. It ought to be beneath EVERYONE, and if it isn't, then you should set your aspirations higher.

And as it's been pointed out, Gowan makes none of the decisions, so if the band has been ruined in your opinion, he's not the one who did it. What's he supposed to do, NOT accept a great gig in a successful band because a guy he doesn't even know isn't there anymore? When you got offered YOUR job, did you say, "No, thanks, this job really ought to belong to so-and-so"? Of course not, that's deranged.

Lastly, how could this possibly matter this much to anyone not in the band?

Congratulations Froy!!! You have just stirred up more support for LG then I have seen here in a while. Even if LG were to walk away, they would replace him with someone else. I think Gowan is extremely talented and he fits into the band perfectly.
Thanks Froy! :lol:

I am a fan of the classic Styx always. I really do think that Larry is top notch talent, wish Styx would do another full album, and give Gowan a chance to write more. I have met Larry once, and he seems very nice and down to earth I really can't say anything bad about him at all. My only complain was on "Rockin the Paradise" on Styxworld live, that wasnt good.

I couldn't have said it better than this. Froy, you're about one ten thousandth the person that Gowan is. Just live your own life and go see Dennis when you get chances to. You're happy, Dennis is happy, Lawrence is happy.

Im very proud as a true STYX fan to let this guy know that he is the reason the band has bottomed out.
Facebook let's you email anyone and I let Larry know exactly how I felt about what he has done.
Now he is going to copy Dennis and put it on a cd that is where he crossed the line.
Im sure if they told him to dress up as Bozo The Clown he would do it because he is hired to do whatever they tell him.

If you want to e-mail anyone, you should e-mail Charlie Brusco. He's the money grubbing sleaze bag that has taken the band down this path. The guy has no decency. And then blame JY who is the one who is adament about never having Dennis back. And then blame Tommy for not growing a pair and standing up to JY.

Hey you said I would be afraid to tell Gowan how I felt, I let the guy know he is not welcomed other than by groupies like you,
If I ever met the guy he would get the same blasting, Stop coping Dennis Larry

Your right I agree, Its the rerecording of Come sail Away on the regurgitation cd that really proves this guy is just a puppet.
Is he so afraid they would dump his ass if he did not do it. Does he think this song is his now?

"larry you suck" the end

Here's his follow up e mail

"I'm sorry larry i just sent you that e mail so i can keep up my rep from melodicrock.com. Truth is i secretly love you and i can't wait to hear the regenerations vol.1 cd. You rock larry.

your pal,

Froy"

Froy, Froy, Froy....

I can't even put into words of what you did, I will have a talk with you in person next time I see you - in July!

I should put up that picture of you and Gowan I took when we were in Canada. It looks like you have a man-crush on him - LOL

I don't agree with what Froy did and I don't agree that people are still sending Dennis hateful mail and that goes for every musician and celebrity. I know everyone has a right to their opinion, but sheesh, enough. When I interview bands/musicians we sometimes talk about this and it's interesting and sad on their take of their experiences with this.

By the way Froy, did you ever see Gowan's brother?
