I love your song, Barbie Girl!

You can get that back if you want it

I was born in 81 and I truly wish I was born ten years earlier.

Stay out of my yard though!!!

And now in January 2024 still a masterpiece

Styx just hit

Master timepiece

On thats 70s show they talked shit on styx but they all secretly love them 😂

Hardly a masterpiece.🥱

Tommy 1981: Too much time on my hands Tommy 2024: Too much Botox on my face

I Love these guys

That’s funny, you made me chuckle

One of the late night talk show guys cut the show or I should say this song pretty good he really liked it.… It was one of the Jimmy’s. I’ve often wondered if he had never heard this song before or he was just being like hey America, I really like this song maybe you will too but I have to really think this guys been involved in show business man for like years he has had to of heard this song before. Right?

We are blessed We grew up at the best time period of musical history When people had real talents Not auto tune Or face filters

Styx, Queen, Steve Miller... time could have just stopped right then.

I'm blaring this on my stereo right now!! love this song!!

It can't be taken away it's part of us

CRANKING IT UP on my Realistic System from RADIOSHACK!

I’m referring to the clash of fashions at that time, as partially seen in this very music video. This is one of my favorite Styx songs and I love both 70s and 80s music. I was in 5th grade when this came out. Early 80s rock/pop music was the first music that I listened to seriously, and there was a lot of 70s hard rock music still lingering on the radio back then.

Daniel Katzenjammer My parents bought me plenty of corduroy fashions for school and church wear back then. For some reason, I don’t think those threads made me very popular with my friends back then, and I don’t think they even came back into fashion in later days! 🤷‍♂️ 😄

Daniel Katzenjammer Thanks man

jack bran I guess Early 80s had awesome music but quite awkward fashion sometimes, though it was hit and miss cuz some of the punk and new wave fashions were awesome on the other hand.

Summerfest?

I'm going to see them tonight with my dad. Looking forward to it.

I'm going Friday night and I'm so excited. I wish Dennis DeYoung was still with them. That would make for an absolutely perfect concert.

I have heard they still ROCK and have not lost a step even with losing band members.

​@@garyrossetti2443They were EXCELLENT!!!!

HA HA! YOU'D THINK IT WAS TOTALLY ON PURPOSE I HOPE IT WAS ANYWAY ,' D

@Thank you Lord Jesus Christ, Hallelujah! Or maybe he's just real passionate about being a member and showing his support for the Illuminati??

Haha! Good call! That one got by me at first.

Yeah! I saw that that! That was a pretty good joke they did.

Oh shit. Thought he was just selling em :)

its almost as good as the Renegade intro

not really. the 70s had a lot of it, it was called 'disco'

De Young had a talent that won`t be remembered.

OMFG!

Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.

"Stands the test of time." But does it, though?

It was the best of times@@johnd5931

OMG. your granfather? now i feel very old.

@@jcepri Yeah me too.

They are awesome!! So much energy love it❤

@@mariajustice-briskey8260 Yep. This awesome 1981 video reminds me of sitting at a bar one morning drinking a few beers while the bartender was making bacon and eggs for everybody. A great bar breakfast to start the day while waiting for a friend to have breakfast with her, but sadly, she never showed up. So I ended up having breakfast without her.

@@jasondudash5501 so sad, women😤 I would've never done that. Did she ever contact you to apologize to you?

SAME BARSTOOL DIFFERENT DAY! 😂🤣

HAHAHAHA, PSONICMONK!

PsionicMonk I happened to read this comment right as he was singing these lines lol

Line always hits hard lol

Yo, sick dude

They still play? With REO Speedwagon?

Iam 64 and I still can recall those good Ole days and some of the best music ever

I have tickets to see them with REO in August!

Wow, I bet!

great song please check out Styx 1972 Debut Album Review on my channel

Tommy Shaw and JY really made this song great!

Fooling yourself

99.9 in Santa Barbara plays this song

Because critics know that youth music tastes, for the most part, are rebellious. If a band is obviously talented, rebellion against critic sells albums by word of mouth more than radio play (but NOT more than Mtv in the 80's). All bands that got big by word of mouth were "hated" by critics (Rush, Iron Maiden, Kiss). All bands that got big by radio play, the critics "loved" AC/DC, Elton John etc...

@@Ifyernotawakeyet why do we care what some "A hole" thinks about movies or music? Critics are just low paid out of work journalists trying to stir the pot to make a name. Nothin but clowns. Zeppelin, The Beatles, Stones, Metalica all the greats had critics that hated em. You and I are the only critics that matter when the wallet comes out.

Critics panned Styx because they're midwest and working class and they (the critics) are snobby elitists that only find value in so-called significant and cultured artists, like Springsteen and Elvis Costello.

@@GER-sm3gh Dont you find it interesting, that movie, music and literature critics tend to disagree with artists and fans alike. Who pays these clowns

@ Yes, I also find it funny that things they don't like sell millions of copies of albums, like Styx. It's vindication

Well I'm sorry to tell you this but it won't happen the reason why rappers

@@andresgarciadelgado1810 Meh?

Why would you wish that on Styx unless you hate(d) them?! The RRHOF is a shit show, has been for years now. How could you not know that??? I know you meant well and obviously didn't know what an insult that is, but now you do as of September 27, 2023.

I don’t know if they can “be the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame”, but at least they can be IN it.

⁠@@bobpierce115, I agree that the RARHOF is very “political”, but it is still an honor to get the nomination and be inducted. Bands like Def Leppard and Journey never thought they’d get in, but the fan vote put them both over the top, and they both accepted, not really for themselves, but for their fans. And I’m pretty sure Styx’s fans would put them over the top as well!

Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.

I saw Styx in concert in London in 1982. They are the very best live band concert I ever attended. The very best.

Ray Broadie sure you did

Yes

erm

Yep 🤣👍

I’m actually here in April 2039!

nah I just work with an old ass man

Brave Lion 100 percent agree!

Someone who gets them. Yeah

@@brendagibson1497 I get them as well.

They do, but they went through a long rough patch and finally kicked Dennis out around 1999 or so.

Beneath the the smiles was a lot of trouble.

+Brad James actually you never know :)

It's real, trust me

+Brad James It's practically my life.

Any home school student has that problem

wll1500 and late 70s...having been there...

wll1500 - This music video just fucking radiates 80's MTV

wll1500 Well thank you Captain Obvious....lol

+wll1500 Takes me back to Hollywood, Ca. Moved away a year later in '82.

+wll1500 Gotta love the jumpsuits. LOL

What exactly are you implying?

Just like there's a bigger chance hearing Styx before Led Zeppelin, ELO, CSNY, Mac, Stones...

Seattle Rock Tho

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY!!!

Budred123. Me!!!!!!!!!!!!

Budred123 😂😂😂

I'm stuck, too...

I'm watching it because it's the only known cure for the Twelve O'Clock News Blues.

💯

I've heard Tommy referred to as the perpetual teenager. They're not wrong...

Watching Darrel’s house now and googled “too much time on my hands”! Didn’t know the band -omg turns out it was the music in the background of my 2o’s & 30’s! Good times :)

Robert Rupers I second that.

I agree

Robert Rupers lol

This song and muppets cabin fever 😂

Oh my goodness.. I just posted on my Facebook wondering if this song was written for the pandemic 😂

Such an insightful comment!

@@arlettasloan6453 I'm happy it worked out for you. 🤗💕💗

I'm old enough to remember when there was no such thing as " music videos " 🤣

tommy fucking shaw.....god level musician

Obviously not good enough to search up his name....

Hello, how are you doing? it’s nice seeing you here.

It seems like yesterday summer of 1981. Going off to college. Yikes 42 years ago. Omg !!

Went to two concerts last year of Styx . I can say they still have it. Lots of 💕

@@truthfulandblunt9281 summer of 81 I was going into 8th grade.

Yes, the 70's had it all, and the early 80's; then came not much good after that. Nostalgia is good too!

I was born in 82, so maybe I was in the womb, just nappin'. Because...well you know.

8 year old me in the summer heat of 1981. Hearing this on the KGEL 97.1 in Mesquite Texas. Lots of lost memories spent out by John L. Hamby elementary school.

probably

lol w/e dude. been listening to these guys since river styx. yeah, they were playing while we were taking a train back to the living world.

Fiat Equality Czar me

The 70's was a TRILLION times better than the 80's...The 80's began the downfall of society in general...I was a 20 something in the 80's I had an awesome time and it was a lot of fun, Probably the best years of my life; simultaneously; music was being destroyed; the grand dumbing down with schlocky tv shows and stupid vapid youth being vapid...

Man the 80s had this air of mystery, romance and adventure that makes me so nostalgic even though i never got to experience it as an adult. Anyone who can remember the 80s is truly blessed.

@@asherouk7308 it also had really big hair

The 70's was grand.

Seriously guys how hard is it to work this one out? The best time is when you're in your late teens early to mid twenties. This is the best time for anyone. One arbitrary era is not better than the previous arbitrary era, 70s, 80s, 90s, whatever.

😂😂😂😂don't I wish

Sadly time is running out but keep rocking to the end anyway fk what society thinks.

I can’t watch these old vids anymore w/out thinking about how fat our society is now

Brisbane here. Loving this. 😁

I don't know what to do with myself.

I met him at a meet and greet in Colorado and the man,couldn't have been any nicer if he tried. Took tons of pics, signed everything you brought for him to sign and was genuinely happy to meet all of us. Love this band!

HOWEVER? LIKE ALL CRTICS...THIS WAS A POOR VIDEO! AWESOME 🎵 GUYS!!!! But That Was AGO......❤💖❤

‘80s music videos had a way of being quite corny for their time, but I think part of that is because the medium was relatively new and growing in popularity (well, promo films for singles had been around since the 1960s, but it took the rise of MTV in the early 1980s for the music video to become a widely viewed form of promoting a single), so music videos had to be either straightforward or very memorable. This one was more on the fun side in concept, while sticking with the traditional performance video for at least part of the video. It’s really interesting, at least I think so, to study music videos of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s and compare and contrast them with more recent videos.

@@crystalp7242 80s is the best :)

and the part with the watches ~1:32

The video looks a lot like a bar scene from the Three’s Company TV show that was very popular during that time. 😂

I remember this shit came out on the original Beavis and butthead episodes.. lol 😆 gold !!

100% AGREE.

Soo much My Youth! Perfect!

Don't worry, there are those of us who do. I myself enjoy older music from 60's-90's more than most recent songs

Born in 1989. Love Styx thanks to my dad. Still listening to them alot. Lost him to suicide 11/17/16. Made it a bucket list to go see them live and I did in Park City Ks in March of 2018. Tonight im setting here listening and reminiscing.

Bro I'm 26 and love Styx. It's very easy to generalise a generation when a lot of us like all sorts of different music :)

circa 1980 Too much slime on my glands

Right here buddy 15 years old and rock is king generation x, Styx, van halen I could go on and on all this new age rap is garbage and no one is talented nowadays

True

Special phrasing, yes. I don't care for the way the video panned off of his goofy-self like that. 2:12

Shaw wrote this song in his car on the way to record songs for the album it’s on. Mad skills.

Rush is good also

ypou lucky bastard, also how's the farm going?

From what concert??

Hey Randy, I think I was at that show

Big Daddy

​@@styx9847 whoah you guys are responding to your fans? That's so cool man I love this song I saw the Jimmy Kimmel version and I have to agree with suze, the layering, the build up, suspense and the silliness. Absolutely brilliant I'm gonna be browsing your music now I can't believe I never listened to y'all before

Your listening to the wrong kind of music metal is still writing everything no backing tracks or bullshit and I mean death metal

​@@tommyshaw4050 lol

Brett Caporale I agree. And that always seems to be the case with my favorite bands. I’m still pissed cause Peter Cetera won’t reconnect with Chicago.

How much time do YOU spend with your ex?

@@spaceghost8995 so they were lovers?😆

lol nice one.

Good one😋

The thing about new music is you need to find the stuff not on the radio. It is a thousand times better.

@@paxapunch2708 yep. I don't consider a lot of the stuff kids play today music. Idk how many other 18 year olds have Styx in their top 5 artists...

Heh!!!

But can you melt steel beams?

This couplet is just breathtaking, IMO. "I'm so tired of losin' I've got nothing to do and all day to do it. I go out cruisin' but I've no place to go and all night to get there." The internal rhyming of losin' / cruisin' and the desolation of "All day to do nothing, all night to go nowhere"... Just hits like a hammer to the chest.

so did I it was awesome.

I saw them too, they were great!

Welcome to your 20s.

Plenty of empty seats for the tribute band huh.

I used to sing the chorus of this to me my dad quite often changing the word “my” to “your”. Mainly because he would ask for explanations of the most minutia things. Finally one day he apparently had heard the real version by Styx and told me my version sure was awful compared to theres.

I went November 2014 with Jon Stewart!

What time do they tape it?

+Wesley Brown at 4 or 4:30

+Wesley Brown From 5pm to 6:15 pm.

+melissa s It could have been much worse. It could have been Mr Roboto.

Yes he did. Love Jimmy Fallon!

+Cuthbert Bracegirdle Haha! So true. Styx is a one hit wonder.

+Emily Everett What are you out of your freaking mind, man? One hit wonder! Really?? What about their other hits like: *Renegade *Blue Collar Man (Long Nights) *Mr. Roboto *Don't Let It End *Best Thing *You Need Love *I'm Gonna Make You Feel It *What Has Come Between Us *Southern Woman *Witch Wolf *The Grove of Eglantine *Man of Miracles *Love At First Sight *Why Me *Music Time *Nothing Ever Goes As Planned *Lady *Lady 95 *Winner Take All *Rock and Roll Feeling *Light Up *Lorelei *Prelude 12 *Suite Madame Blue *Shooz *Mademoiselle *Crystal Ball *The Grand Illusion *Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man) *Come Sail Away *Miss America *Man In The Wilderness *Sing For The Day *Pieces of Eight *Lights *Babe *Borrowed Time *Boat On The River *A.D. 1928 *Rockin' The Paradise *Too Much Time on My Hands *The Best of Times *Snowblind *Cold War *High Time *Heavy Metal Poisoning *Love Is The Ritual *Show Me The Way *Dear John *One With Everything Etc., Etc... One Hit Wonder? Ha!!! That's what you think pal; Styx has so many hits and songs all worth your time. For anyone interested, please go check them out in concert!! They're AWESOME and fun to watch live! I myself have seen them 4 times within the last 12 years! I've even meet the original bassist, Chuck Panozzo, got his autograph, took some pictures, and he even asked me some questions about (Styx, did I enjoy the show?, What is my favorite Styx album. . which I replied is 'Kilroy Was Here').. He seemed like a nice guy although he did seem a little depressed to me, but that's probably because of his illness. Oh, I got off topic, but yeah anyways just have a listen to the rest of their catalog. :)

Mine too

Love styx

LOL

I have to clap, too😉

I feel like everyone has to clap...like you can't fully enjoy the song unless you clap. I even clap when I'm driving. Lol

HAHAHAHAHA so true

hahaha, now try it to Paul McCartney's Band on the Run after a few beers and see how you go....................... :-)
