I’ve known Tommy Shaw for 32 years now. We met in 1990 through a mutual friend and we wrote the song “keeping me alive“ together. When I met Tommy STYX had broken up years earlier and he embarked on a solo career which was short-lived. In 1991 he started the project Damn Yankees with Ted Nugent and Jack blades from night Ranger I forget the drummers name he was a young guy and really amazing. The only thing that’s bigger than Tommy’s talent is his humanity. He is truly one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. I’ve seen him do things for complete strangers even show up at someone’s wedding that he only met once to play a song for them. 🕊❤️🎼

This lead singer is Tommy Shaw. Tommy later formed Damn Yankees with Jack Blades of Night Ranger, Ted Nugent of The Amboy Dukes, and drummer Michael Cartellone of Lynyrd Skynyrd. I saw them in 1976 and it was the loudest concert I ever saw! Tommy did something interesting: He came into the spotlight & introduced a song, he had written, before he became successful and was down & out. It was called "Crytal Ball" and revealed his concerns about his unknown future. This is a very emotional and moving song, and still gives me goosebumps. Please react to Crytal Ball.

Also Doug Aldridge of Whitesnake, along with Deen Castronovo that was in Journey for years are in it. He sounds like Steve Perry, too, but with his own sound. It's a great sounding band. I really like the song, "Light In The Dark".

Those “plastic tubes” you are referring to with the drums are called Octobans . They are melodically tuned in sets of eight (hence the name) and they are also referred to as “tube toms.” They have a unique sound similar to a regular tom tom but higher pitched.

Definitely one of my favorite Styx songs. I think this make five Styx songs you've done, and you've only scratched the surface. "Lady" is a classic from their early years, as is "Blue Collar Man". From their 80s discography you can react to "The Best of Times", "Don't Let It End", or "Show Me the Way". You can also branch off if you like and do some Styx members' solo stuff, like Dennis DeYoung's "Desert Moon" or Tommy Shaw's "Girls With Guns". BTW, it was Dennis who did the lead vocals on most of the songs you've reacted to... but it was Tommy this time.

And Tommy Shaw's "What If (Remo's Theme)", which was the theme song from the movie "Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins" - a fun movie, but didn't did well at the box office. It was supposed to be the first in a series of movies based on the long running book series "The Destroyer" by Warren Murphy. Remo is a cop that was framed and sentenced to death. His death is faked and he is trained as an assassin for a secret government organization. Anyway, I digress. The song was great.

Styx is one of those bands where multiple members could be the "front man" depending on which song you're listening to. This happened a lot in the 70's. The ultimate example would be Fleetwood Mac, but it was all over the place back then. In terms of their next biggest song you haven't done yet, that'd be "Blue Collar Man."

FYI- The story behind "Babe" was that it was NOT to be recorded by /for STYX. Dennis wrote it for his wife. On her birthday, he performed it to her at a private party. He was badgered into recording it after the band agreed it was too good not to. The 'wandering;' keyboard intro was actually DeYoung playing around on a new electronic piano which he'd never tried before. He didn't know recording had begun. Crazy.

This song is part of a story about the "Paradise Theater." It is about how the Paradise closing was/is the end of a so-called better time in Chicago. The is the story. This song is just a tiny part.

Styx is a great band with two amazing vocalists: Tommy Shaw and Dennis DeYoung! They have so many great songs to choose from, and I recommend you check out these next: Guitarist Tommy Shaw sang lead on "Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)", and "Sing For The Day". Keyboard player Dennis DeYoung sang lead on "Lady" and "The Grand Illusion".

3 People from this line up of Styx (I say this line up because the members changed several times through the years) served as lead vocals. Dennis DeYoung and Tommy Shaw you know has done vocals, but another member of this line up James "JY" Young also does vocals for the band. Some of the songs he has done in the 70s early 1980s include Miss America, Great White Hope, Lord of the Rings, Half Penny, 2 Penny, Heavy Metal Poisoning and Double Life.

I had the pleasure of hanging out with these guys in the hotel bar after their concert. I was their contact for anything they needed while they stayed there (I worked for the front desk). Nicest guys EVER! One of them kept sneaking into the DJ Booth and would take out any Styx CDs in there, because they didn't want to hear their own music while trying to relax and enjoy some drinks.

I remember seeing this video on MTV when it first went on the air. As a little kid, I thought it was hilarious! This is one of my mom’s favorite bands so I grew up on Styx. The two other bands she couldn’t get enough of were Foreigner and Journey. I grew up listening to many different genres of music but rock from the early 80’s was my mom’s JAM! 😂 Great video, you two! 🥰

This song is off of "Paradise Theater". It came out in early 1981, while I was in the 10th grade, and battled REO Speedwagon's (breakout hit), "HI Infidelity" for the #1 spot on the album chart, for about 4 months! And Styx's tour going through L.A. was, along with Rush's "Moving Pictures" tour were the most popular concerts at the time, if the concert t-shirts showing up at school over the next few days tells you anything! 1981 was a great time to be a teenager & a rock fan, there was so much killer music coming out! The singer on this song is Tommy Shaw, from Louisville, KY. He replaced the original lead guitar & 3rd voice (Styx has always had 3 vocalists, which is why their harmonies sound as good as they do), John Curulewski (sp?), who left the band after 1975's "Equinox", so Tommy's first album with them was "Crystal Ball" the following year.

If you could see them in concert, the level of audience involvement is unmatched by any band playing today. I think you can still see these guys playng smaller venues. There is a concert video that aired on PBS about 8 or 10 years ago. If you can find it, you'll see what I'm talking about. These former fans showed up with their children and their families to sing along with these guys. I absolutely love them. There will never be another STYX.
