What Larry cares about is the personal exposure he is getting by being in a band that people know who it is. The reality is he would never get this much exposure in the states just by himself. Before being offered the Styx gig, Larry was just one of many Canadian artists that were going nowhere outside of Canada.
And that my friend is called a leach
And he certainly is not going to make any waves about what the band is doing. Certainly a more steady paycheck then is own career was bringing him.
And why is this bad? He's a musician. That's his job. If Styx couldn't hold it together with DeYoung, it's not Gowan's problem. His job is to go out and perform every night. He's done that and made a few fans along the way. Why people slam Gowan is beyond me. To critique his voice is one thing, but to slam him for actually getting out there and working every night, or somehow sticking it to Dennis is silly. Next we'll be blaming Todd for John's death...

In context of this thread I am not slamming him for being the chosen replacement. It just seems to me that he is a passive hired gun to fill some shoes and he is not going to rock the boat since it's better then anything his own career produced. I don't blame him for the issue with Dennis and his former band mates. They were the ones with the power to change things. Other then TS, JY and CP I consider the rest of the current Styx line up a group of employees.

No, it's called pulling something out of his ass and posting it as if it were fact. Something you should know a lot about.
