Too Much Time on my Hands is always at the top of my playlists. Boat on a River is my dreaming sing.

Amazing song by Tommy Shaw/Styx, which still sounds fresh till this day, and my favorite song from them.

Not a Styx fan. Never a Styx fan but now I know why. I hated Babe. I think Dennis DeYoung is the reason I hated Styx. I totally feel and see what JY and Tommy articulated so kindly. It explains everything. Tommy Shaw is a great guitarist.

They lost me with Kilroy. Babe was made for 13 year old girls that liked candy. 😂

Complete failure as stated in this interview. Dennis DeYoung wanted to go mainstream and the other guys did not.

Dennis is my favorite of Styx. Nowadays Styx is not what they used to be just like so many other bands that came out in the 70's. I prefer the original studio recordings.

STYX Gotta be Steelers fans. How much money are they getting each time the Steelers kick off is preceded by Renegade?

@DMDvideo10 4 ай бұрын

The way it works is the Steelers pay licensing fees to the publishing company Ascap or BMI. They monitor song plays and dish out royalties. It's not an exact science but it works... Kinda...

Wanna know something Tommy? Your first wife Cuppy, wrote Renegade for you on piano as she transcribed your tabs into piano for Dennis. Tell the truth, boy

@dottiee1596 Were you there? You seem to have intimate knowledge of the writing of the song.
