BUT
Once I got over my Gowan is not Dennis complex, and decided to listen to this era's music with an open mind, I discovered:
1. That I like their music better than any other NEW music out on the market.....at least the stuff I have heard.
2. That if you don't use Dennis as a measuring stick against Gowan, they guy does have some talent ( though I'll probably use Lady and CSA for bathroom breaks....still cant take hearing him do DDY sung Styx songs ! )
3. Most of BBT is really quite good........some of the songs I like BETTER than the original versions.
Bottom line, for only $12.00, I will be able to express opinions about this version of the band based on a 1st hand eyewitness account. You should consider buying yourself some inexpensive credibility and join us there !
Of course, that would mean opening your mind ever so slightly, so I wont hold my breath !
Why should I open my mind to Gowan
Just because he parades around with a band that uses the name of styx?
Im sorry to me Styx is dead over finished
If they did not have the name STYX would you even care
probably not
Im glad you like there music and Im glad we agree that STYX is STYX with Dennis not Gowan'
Honestly I careless about STYX right now
Im sure after the summer there finished maybe to return maybe not
Who cares the name STYX has been ruined and is laughable.
Even if Dennis came back it would not be the same the jig is up
Unless the 2 goofs grew up or sobered up then there will never be a STYX ever again in my mind
So go ahead enjoy Gowan Rickie Todd and who ever else is in the band,
Im done with anything STYX for now
