Was Dennis ever cool?
Okay, time to start the flame wars up again
I only had the opportunity to see STYX once in their original incarnation back in 1977. The next time I saw them was the reunion in 1996. I enjoyed both shows. But the one thing that set me back was that Dennis came off as an egotistical dork.
I have seen the revised line-ups about 15 times now. Partly due to the fact that they play more shows, partly due to the internet providing up to date info on where they are, and partly due to the fact that the band put out a great album and is a much more rocking entity.
I like my music rockin! The thought of seeing Dennis with Air Supply and an orchestra just doesn't trip my trigger. I'm not ready for a wheel chair and Depends yet.
