That's because JY would be out of a job. TS is key to JY's meal ticket. He has proven that without Styx no one in the industry is interested JY the musician.


I don't know about that, I doubt you can be %100 sure about it either. However, the rest of the band would be just fine without Styx. I have no doubt that Todd, Ricky, and Gowan would find work without Styx.

Your right that I can't say that 100%. But I am basing it on when he attempted a solo career when Styx split the first time and that was when Styx was still in the lime light. He couldn't get a record company to release his albums, so he had to start his own to get them out. By the quality of the material on those albums I can see why. Take City Slicker for example, that shitty drum machine through the album was a joke. For someone with that much recording experience he should have known better. The song writing, producing was really sub par. The only solo effort that was decent was Raised By Wolves but in reality that was collaboration with other artists. I think he does well when collaborating with others but as a solo artist is weaknesses tend to show.
