Because people have "hiphopped" brains...😁🤪

Have you heard the live version of it on the Styx & REO Speedwagon CD Arch Allies Live At Riverport from 2000? This was the first version I ever heard of it and it still gives me happy goose bumps to this day! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eJ6AqteJm7Svk6M.html

@@MusicFanKim Wow great performance.

Have you also checked out Dream Theater? They too have great thinking lyrics.

sandy ferati Dream Theater is my all time favorite band. Styx #2 and Rush is in my top 25. I can listen to Dream Theater & Styx all day everyday

@@jamesgoldman6942 mine too! I loved Styx - my fave when I was a teen. I didn't discover DT until 4 years ago!! And I didn't see Styx live until last year. Now that my kids were older, I have been (totally been now:( ) going to lots of concerts. Saw DT 7x in 4 years! The Styx concert was So good! Better live even than the studio!

sandy ferati I grew up on Styx. I swear I almost played them exclusively when I was young started with Equinox. I literally wore side 2 of that album out. Then The Grand Illusion/ Pieces of Eight I couldn’t get enough of them. Saw them live every chance I got. Grew up in a big northern city so it was often. Saw them with Dennis 12 or 13 times. Funny story went to college in TX & La. Became a HS baseball coach in TX. In 2001 I was coaching in S. TX we were deep in the playoffs it was Memorial Day ( no school) two of my top players came way late to practice. I kept them way late after punishing them. They knew the type of music I liked cause they could probably hear it daily from my office. The next day Tues they had burned me CDs of Images & Words, Awake & the single A Change of Seasons from Dream Theater. They also burned me Stainds Break The Cycle CD. I had never heard of any of them. 10+ years later on Christmas one of them sends me the CD Sound of Madness by Shinedown for Christmas. Dream Theater, Styx & Staind are by far my favorite 3 bands and I really like Shinedown too. I’ve seen Dream Theater close to 10 times. Only once with Portnoy on the skins ( Octavarium) that was my favorite concert ever. Their last concert Distance Over Time where they played Metropolis ll Scenes from a Memory was also incredible. Saw that show twice. Once in Dallas once in San Antonio.

I agree

😅 I've never seen cgi like that it was so wild

I gave the album a listen recently-- there are 10 good songs on an album of 14 tracks--which is quite impressive. I truly wish that "Everything is Cool" was bigger hit. Such a good song. Also love "Fallen Angel" and "Number One". Very good album.

It's because it was the last Styx album!

@@legasiguy551 ... there were 2 albums after Brave New World plus a Cover album

@@st3v444 With who?? Styx?? They disbanded in 1999. Their last show was The Children's Miracle Network concert in on 6-5-99! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l79gZqeczKzTmHU.html Brave New World album was released on 6-29-99, marking the final day of Styx official existence.

@@legasiguy551 Styx has reformed with Gowan

@@colinsharp7498 Who??? Maybe you mean Jim Peterik DDY's co-writer on some music. Dennis DeYoung performs under "The Music of Styx" moniker and IS Styx! He's even got a couple of guys that look and sound like JY and TS, his old guitarists! Don't know why he just doesn't perform on his Styx moniker, but it's definitely Styx 2020 and his classic Styx sound!

Couldn't agree more. Cyclorama has some hauntingly beautiful songs.

Even one of their earliest albums, Man of Miracles, never got the playtime that it should have. It was just as good as Styx II.

@@billwalker7782 Agreed again. Styx has some great hidden gems in their discography.

@@billwalker7782 Man Of Miracles and Serpent get un-needed hate as well, I agree!

Why is Cyclorama not on streaming services?

Is this real...his comment

Here's hoping! I saw them three times - the Equinox tour, Paradise Theater tour and Kilroy Was Here. So much talent in one band, amazing.

I've seen Styx both with Dennis DeYoung and without. these guys couldn't reconcile but yet they are putting a video together written at a time when Dennis was with the band? not good boys....

Ive seen them with DeYoung in 97, a night when Gowan opened for them

@@kilroy107 Keep in mind this is written by "Shaw, James Young"

@@kilroy107 Listen to this whole album with this in mind: It's basicly two half albums. The half Dennis wrote in Chicago. And the half an album Tommy and JY wrote in LA. So if Tommy/JY want to release an older song with new video from their half of the album, so be it.

I was going to ask you if this popped up on your feed. Did they release the video when the CD first came out? I don't recall seeing anything done at the time...

@@Deborahtunes Deb this is a new video released 21 years after the release.... I like it

@@SeanMorrisonRocks ~ I like it too. Very futuristic, & well produced. It's a shame they didn't put this out when the CD was released in 1999 though...

@Durian Durian JY is fine..... He's working on the new album

@Durian Durian Iron Maiden in 2000 released an album and a song called Brave New World.... I've seen this error... Not sure why it's appearing like that

Indeed ! 😎

Cool lyric video

It's a new video.

@@ScottKornfeld ~ 👍 Yeah I didn't realise that when they first put it up...

100% agree. I was born 500 years too early.

You do.....

Maybe in 2000 years...

Happy Day this is a song from 1999

Keith R - yes thank you for the enlightenment, Keith.

Not sure that DDY is even on this song. Most of the album is Tommy, JY and Todd Sucherman, with limited contributions of both DDY and Chuck Panozzo (despite CP being the only credited bassist, most of the bass is actually Tommy or JY.)

Really? Which lines? I'm henuinely curious.

I just bought the mission CD and I listen to it a lot. A sequel album that expanded on the amazing sounds they brought to the album would be amazing.

Wasn’t a fan of the Mission CD, then I saw them perform it live and it completely changed my mind.

HVY! That's not v nice thing to svy!

Brave New World

*Brave New World,* which was originally released in 1999...

Thank you I didn't remember this one for some reason !

Nice to hear Dennis in the harmonies of this track too. I agree, do the "brave" thing, see the Zen, and bring Dennis back for one more tour. No regrets and you'll have memories of many more smiling faces.

Robert Fletcher I had the same thought, need to listen to my CD

@@stevedavis6802 it's mainly because it sounded distorted at certain parts.

Robert Fletcher the video is also 5 seconds longer than the cd version

IIRC this song and Tommy's other songs from the same album are thematically inspired by Brave New World, and not meant to be a literal adaptation of the material to music.

Get off your high horse. First off, there's no conspiracy to filter Dennis out of anything. If there was, where's the proof? Secondly, just because Dennis contributed backing vocals to a song when he was still part of Styx doesn't mean he owns the song. The song is owned by Styx the band, which Dennis isn't a part of anymore. They can do what they want with it. Third, the song is fitting for today's turbulent times, that's the whole point, which I guess was missed by some here. Tommy and JY have thoroughly and reasonably explained, over and over, why they parted ways with Dennis. There isn't a single fact to back up the claims that they are lying. This dead horse doesn't need to be beaten any longer, and it shouldn't be. Just enjoy the music

But to think Dennis is innocent in all of this is not correct either. All three of em have egos for sure. Difference in this is that everyone sans Dennis agreed on a way to push Styx forward. Dennis believed his vote is the only one that counted. Styx moved on without him. Even in the 'Behind the music' Chuck Panozzo stated they were ready to get back to work and tour but Dennis was wanting to put that on hold for an undetermined amount of time. A business doesn't stop just because of one person having to call in sick, it keeps going. Styx is no different.

Joshua Weaver tell that to Def Leppard. Their drummer( Rick Allen)lost his arm in a car accident. They waited years ( at the height of their popularity after Pyromania) for his return. They risked their careers for a DRUMMER they could have easily replaced. The result was the album Hysteria. They waited while Rick taught himself to play the drums with one arm and his feet. Rick & Def Leppard are an inspiration to 10s of 1000s. This is how you do things when you are part of a team. Tommy, JY & Chuck should be embarrassed how they handled this situation. With that all said. I love the video , loved Cyclorama & The Mission, One Hundred Years From Now, and DDYs latest album 26 East. Hoping they can work out their differences and Styx can bring back their superstar Dennis Deyoung for one last run.

Problem is, with Styx, Dennis was acting like he ran everything and his vote was the only one that counted. It goes far beyond tour delays and sickness; all the creative decisions, etc, Dennis acted like he was supposed to be the do all end all of Styx. Going against the band's teamwork formula from their heyday. It's not Tommy and JY pitting the fanbase against each other, and neither is Dennis. Any band split is bound to do this to a fanbase. But moreover, the ongoing rift is largely the fault of the bitter fans who can't get over Dennis not being in Styx and can't learn to accept reality.

JY is still alive, he just appeared in a video with Tommy a couple days ago... maybe you didn't see it yet. Besides, I haven't seen any factual evidence to support your conspiracy theories about JY being gone from Styx. Neither can anything support the claims of a Tommy Shaw power grab, it was really about maintaining Styx's integrity. Sadly, as immensely talented as Dennis is, his overgrown ego made him from the strongest link to the weakest in the team. The rest of the band knew this and had to make a decision for the good of Styx, and for Dennis's own good too.
