(Not to be a jerk, but the thing about #1 is the Panozzo twins HAD a band they were rehearsing in thewir basement with, when DeYoung approached them and wouynd up replacing the 1st accordionist).
1. A core group of three young men formed the starting point of the band that would become Styx. Dennis DeYoung and John and Chuck Panozzo.
2. The band was already in place with additional members James Young and John Curulewsi when the name Styx was agreed upon by all members.
3. Three members left the band voluntarily. John Curulewski, Tommy Shaw and Glen Burtnik.
4. Only one member did not leave the band voluntarily. Dennis DeYoung.

The Reunion appeared that time heals all wounds, but in reality brought their issues to the forefront with Behind the Music being the culminating event.

Gerald Ford was Richard Nixon's vice president. Then became president when Nixon resigned. And he ran against Ronald Reagan and lost.

Actually , the Reagan camp had serious discussions with Ford after clinching the republican nomination about being his VP....it didnt work out, and Reagan eventually chose George H.W. Bush as his running mate.
I wonder who would be president today if Ford had said yes to Reagan ?
FROY: Really what issues Tom's cocaine addiction Did that resurface?
Im mean if the wounds from the past came back it must have been Toms drug problem because that was the only thing other than nobody in the band liking Kilroy that broke them up. Is that what you are saying
I loved the Kilroy tour thought it was great
Its a shame we had a drug addict who could not make it to band rehearsals back then because he was snowblind.
Lets put fair blame were its belongs,
ADAM: That’s silly. FYI, I have it on good authority that the DeYoungs smoke pot. I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s very likely true. Take it or leave it. Furthermore WHAT DOES IT MATTER? It’s nobody’s business. Tommy has been sober for YEARS – and that’s nobody’s business either. What are we, the morality police?
True and none of those 3 are in the band today
In my world that means that band does not exist

But Dennis could never no wrong like Tommy Shaw, right?
