Go purchase the MS Funk album(CD). The 8TH song is titled Crystal Pendant. It is when Dennis heard it that it was changed to Crystal Ball.
Plain & Simple the guys have now officially sold out. NO Grand Illusion/Pieces Of Eight CD or DVD for me.
They can all now sale away with their new necklaces.
'Sale Away' - What a great new name for the band that was currently Styx.
i think too many people lose site of the fact that profesional musicans should see their careers as a real business.....not just girls, guitars and glory.........whether it be styx, journey, queen, kiss or whoever, realizes that their product can be expanded and made into more things that can sell, they should do it.......will it make them any real money????? hell if i know....but it's just a band releasing their name and product in another fashion like nearly all bands do.......are they "selling out"??? of course, thats' what they should be trying to do because that's their business. i'm sure on a smaller scale they see this kind of stuff as a way of saying "hey, we're like kiss" or some of the other bands that have been able to market their product in non music ways and have success. i just dont know why anybody gives a shit about it. there is really nothing they can or cannot do at this point that truly affects their place in music history. and if it somehow did then its fine because it's their legacy and career and not mine.
