If you ask JY he would tell you because these versions are superior to the originals since they were rerecorded with the "Best Version of Styx Ever". Someones been drinking their own bathwater!

[sniper16]

bands rerecord thier hits to cut out record company or former members when they us these new versions for comercial or movie intrests, the next time adam sandler makes a MOVIE a&m wont have to be given a cut if they use the rerecords, journey, night ranger and others have done it kiss also i believe

All of the alternate versions of those songs make me choke. Especially "Forever Blue". It just sucks.

People can whine about the Styx rerecords all they want. But, the don't suck.

And $14.99 plus whatever shipping & handling costs is a ridiculous amount for seven songs, only one of which is a "brand new track."

Bahahaha!!!! Seriously?

Even if they didn't suck these versions are pointless. Most bands when they do this do an alternate version or a different arrangement or something to make it different from the original. These are not that different from the original so in my view it was a pointless thing to do. Seems to me it was done just to make a buck.

[sniper16]

thier not different, because they want them to be as closeto the original as possible, so they can slip them into a commercial or movie with out paying a&m or dennis preformance rights(more to split for jy and tommy) and froy noones going to use them, vw mr roboto, adam sandler movies, havnt used styx, many bands of this era hve done it

I want some of what they are smoking if they think someone is interested in using their music for a movie or commercial. Those days are over. Of course they could be asked to use these recordings for an instructional video on "What Not to Do With Your Bands Classic Hits".

Well, to be fair, any time you've had a hit song, ever, there's always the chance the phone will ring and someone will offer something that might revive it in some unforeseen way. Recently "Free to be You and Me" was used as the central theme of a huge Target campaign - I daresay nobody saw that one coming, LOL. So yes, I'm absolutely sure Styx music will be featured in some more movies and TV stuff in the future, it's almost inevitable with a catalog that large and well-known. Who could have anticipated that "Don't Stop Believin'" would be so huge for a different generation? It would only take one piece of the right kind of exposure to do the same thing for a song like "Come Sail Away."

Now, that said, I certainly anticipate that most producers or brands would rather have the original, famous versions than new ones, for sure. But then again, the version of "Takin' Care of Business" that was in the Office Depot (or was it Staples?) commercials was a re-record, and I've heard other ads (including "Mr. Roboto" in the VW commercial) that were re-records. It all depends on the price and usage when it comes right down to it. And how close the versions are. Blue Oyster Cult did some re-records that were so phenomenally close that you can hardly tell the difference. Jethro Tull did some that were relative crap because Ian' voice is so shot. With Styx, because there's a very different voice singing some of the stuff, they're in a bit of a different position, in my opinion.

I can see where you are coming from. What I meant to point out is that I think the resurgence and interest in Styx' catalog already happened in the late 90's which of course spurred the reformation of the classic Styx line up. I don't see where the current band's reasons for doing the rerecords was to capitalize on usage of the rerecorded versions in commercials and soundtracks.

It probably wasn't. But, they can try to use them in promotion for concerts and DVD's. Has Dennis allowed Styx to use the studio version of any of the old songs for such things? And, I don't mean some goofy radio station or venue not knowing what they are doing and putting together their own promo...which happens all the time.

I know Journey did this with Augeri...and did not release them...and hardly anybody knew the difference. In fact some people argued that it was still Perry.

I think one of the arguments in the lawsuit Dennis filed against TS, JY et all was that the band was using the old recordings with him to promote shows. So I would say from a promotional stand point he would not agree.
