- Vocal Coach Reaction To Styx - Blue Collar Man - Ken Tamplin
Leaving it all on the field.
Consummate musicians, Styx embraces this philosophy with every single song. Every. Single. Song. In this performance the band takes no prisoners in an all-out, John Rambo-esque, assault of blistering musicianship coupled with sublime vocals and unparalleled songwriting in a pure, balls to the wall, performance. Guys, this is "Rockstar Great". This is perfectly executed professionalism; the type that I hope inspires each of us to "leave it all on the field" in every aspect of life.
Blue Collar Man (Long Nights) is the first single that Styx released from the Pieces of Eight album in 1978. Lore has it that the song was composed by Tommy Shaw after hearing the sound of his boat engine failing to start. He said it sounded like a good riff to a song. The song reached No. 21 in the United States.
Music is life.

Apologies for missing that the bassist is none other than Chuck Panozzo. Insert bass player jokes here.
It'd be great if you could take a look at Dennis DeYoung's live skills... he's in his 70s and songs as good as he did back then. Great vid, by the way.
Dont shoot the bassist
Chuck is the man...
All your bass are belong to us.
As a guitarist, wannabe singer. Having been in bands, I can say. It is all about the Bass.
STYX.. C'mon.. one off the best Rock Band . EVER!..EVER!!
Enio should be in Rock in Roll Hall of Fame 😠
One of the top 10 in my opinion. Just for Tommy Shaw 's guitar work and song writing skills alone!
STYX. THE MOST UNDERRATED BAND IN THE HISTORY OF ROCK! Every line up! Tommy Shaw....hands down the most all around talented man in the business. And he is still bringing it in 2019!
Mick E Gee👍
Styx killed it with The Mission...and they are working on a new album that I expect will be even better. Dennis DeYoung has a new album out this year that is as good as anything he or Styx have ever done.
and in 2022!
NOT underrated by me... Styx Rocks! 1st class, amazing band! In my top 5, may very well be my no. 1... tough choice... Styx v. Rush for spot one... OMG... hard to choose! STYK x RUSH = AMAZING BANDS. 80s music fan here! 😂
What do you mean underrated? They are known to be one of the greatest rock n roll bands of all times. lol.
Styx RULES! Notice how the frontmen Tommy and JY are smiling constantly. That's an indication of their passion and their level of enjoyment while performing great music. My favorite band of all time. Thanks for posting and reviewing this performance.
myp410up Awesome!
Love Tommy Shaw. He always seems to be overlooked as a great vocalist.
Eric Cernech Indeed. Are you familiar with Shaw/Blades? Check them out. Also loved Damn Yankees.
Love Shaw/Blades. Blades and Shaw”s vocals are perfect together. Just saw Night Ranger recently and Blades still has it. So much energy. 👍👍👍
Eric Cernech Their harmonies are excellent.
@@kentamplin I am damn Yankees are pretty darn good
Can you take me high enough (to fly me over, fly me over, yersterday).
Hey Ken, love your enthusiasm with Styx. I'm from Chicago and they are local hometown guy's. Dennis is the ultimate showman who really enjoys his fans. Im glad you feel they are a killer band too. They have been performing together and apart for like 40 years?!'Crazy amount of time. Yes, they have and still had issues with each other but the music remains timeless and the performance s are a 10.
Amen Joe!
Tommy Shaw is the whole package! I always thought he was an amazing singer & guitarist- plus hard worker & tons of energy. Blue Collar Man was my absolute favorite. I had a major crush on him for years when I was a pre-teen (gives you my age😏😉) but always just truly appreciated Tommy’s amazing talent!!
Tommy was the reason I became a HUGE Styx fan. They are my absolute favorite band. And yes, I too had big crush on him for many years.
Did you see Tommy at Daryl’s House? 62 years old, pulls up in the car, hops out, goes into the studio and proceeds to kill it. No warm up, no nothin. Tommy’s voice is as good today as ever. Amazing.
I have. Tommy is amazing!! Better than ever.
He said it was the slowest version of "Renegade" he'd ever played - and I tried to keep pushing the beat through my tv. Love him!❤ And Daryl couldn't believe Tommy's upper range. Sighing.
I truly love that episode of Daryl's House, as you said no warm-up, true musicians all
There is nothing like a good live rock show. When a band makes you want to sing and celebrate their music then they have done it right,
Thanks!!! I missed the video.
One of my favorite bands since 12yrs old (I’m a young 50yr old now lol) “paradise theater” (styx) and “Escape” (journey) “On the radio” (Fonna Summer) and “Hi Infidelity” (REO) my very first 4 Lps.
GREAT BANDS!!
My dad and Step-Dad both were and still very established musicians and when I was 12-14 my step-dad told me ya can’t look down at your guitar and you MUST sing (at least backup) or you’ll get passed up or another guitar player that can. Great advice... I’ve always stayed true to that and even later became a lead song as well even acoustic solo acts (more money).
Sorry for the long story.
Thanks again!! Ya Rock Ken!!👍🏼
They don’t make music like this anymore. The best era, so many great bands and vocalists. Awesome Ken.
Styx is timeless and Tommy Shaw is an Icon. Thanks Ken for showing your passion for their greatness.
My pleasure, James!
The key is enjoing playing what you love what you chose doing for the rest of your life. Music !!!❤
I love the harmony
Kofijeff Steudler Harmonies are one of their strong suits.
That’s a rock finale if I ever heard one! Wow! Styx rocks!
I saw Dennis DeYoung on a PBS special with his solo show just a couple of months ago and he still sounds as good as the old days.
Styx live never disappoints. You can't have prog rock without premier talent.
When I was in fifth or sixth grade, my dad showed me “Mr. Roboto.” I fell in love with the song and listened to it all the time (I actually choreographed a dance to it and performed it a concerning amount of times). Last September I got to see Styx live... my very first concert! At that time, Styx wasn’t a favorite band of mine. I only knew “Mr. Roboto,” “Renegade,” and other popular hits from my dad and the Greatest Hits CD I had purchased a couple weeks prior. After the concert, I was BEYOND amazed. I started listening to more of their content after and they became a close second to Journey. They are an incredible band, and I am so glad that I can appreciate that now. I think about that concert almost every day. I am pretty sure I cried. Surreal. The way I felt when the band walked on stage was something I had never felt in my entire life. I hope the upcoming Journey concert makes me feel the same way!
First rock concert I saw. 1977 Grand Illusion tour. 2 1/2 hours with TWO encores; and the encores were like 3 songs each. It was like the best concert I ever went to. I’ve seen them at least 12 times since. Each and every time they throw down. Good to see that you truly get their goodness. Man in the Wilderness is my favorite Tommy song. They started adding it to their show in the last 5 years or so. The fans appreciated it too.
Awesome!
Love Styx, Mr Shaw eats right and takes care of himself. I Saw them at Hershey Park last year and they were amazing 😍
To this day the best concert I've ever been to in my life.
For me, Styx is Dennis DeYoung and Dennis DeYoung is Styx. So I wouldn't go see the current band. When I saw them in 1997 it was the Grand Illusion tour the one with the theatrev and the guy sweeping and it was just absolutely amazing. I've seen The Who Van Halen and tons and tons of other rock group Steve Miller Lynyrd Skynyrd Etc and styx still the best.
When Styx show,I MADE SURE I AM UP FRONT for best seats and Every song was just like that.. Legends!!!
Little River Band is that same level...No Joke!!! Supreme musicians..Does the same to me,burnt into my guts!!!!
Got to go work,now will have Styx playing in my brain...(Many thanks,).Salute!!!
Great bands! Just plain great! Rock on!
I could watch you do 50 more Styx songs! SUITE MADAME BLUE!! You are awesome Ken!!!!!
They were an incredible band hands down!!! I remember my Styx’s 4x4 poster that was on my bedroom wall. Shaw/Blades was another moment when really great musicians just made some amazing songs that still stand up today!!! I feel so blessed to have been alive when all of these bands were playing on the radio and rocking all the arenas. My son is 16 and I almost feel sorry for him because he would be hard pressed to find bands today that have all the elements of groups I grew up listening too. True musicians, singers, song writers, that can bring it night after night and with energy that melts you!! Riffs that still to this day are recognized and so iconic. John Bonham “when the levee breaks”, Ted Nugent “Strangle Hold” Motley Crue “Kickstart my Heart”. Just stuff that will never get old and will never happen again. Love your taste in tunes. Keep going please!! Loving it!!!
Tommy Shaw is a southern songbird. I've seen Styx at least 20 times. I use to say that he was my future husband, he just didn't know it yet lol. And JY is the nicest guy to fans. Somehow I always managed to get front row. 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 oh adding an edit..... I'd love to see you critique their song "Crystal Ball". That song meant alot to me. I helped me through a really hard time in my life, and I still think it's their best song. Oh and I have this concert on dvd. It's one of my favorites.
20 times, I'm so jealous...😏
JY gets a bad rap from certain people. But I've heard so many stories about how good he is to his fans.
JY once said that because his sister became a paraplegic as a teenager, he learned to appreciate everything he has, and can do. Because she is unable to...
JY really is more humble than many believe...
STYX always one of my inspirations ! Awesome talent, Great Rock !
Styx one of my fave groups. Tommy is one of my fave singers.
Saw Styx last year these dudes are still killing it!
Styx a toujours été mon groupe préféré depuis l’âge de 16 ans. J’en ai 58. Thank you very much Ken!
Rock on!
When the bass player came on screen and you said, "Who's THAT guy?" I'm still laughing 10 minutes later. And I'm a bass player!
audible tapehiss My bad. I assume it was Chuck Panozzo though he looked a bit like my accountant...
And Tommy still sings this in 2022❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️my Idol !!
Ken one more thing should I get Botox in my jaw to relax it... I’m having horrible vocal fatigue 😖😞
I have seen Styx live 8 times and they are so sooo under rated it is sad. I have been a Styx fan since 1972. Yeah I am ancient. I would love to see them live again but I can’t even afford food everyday so it is just a dream. Aside from that. I even received a personal letter from the great Chuck Panozzo. (Lost when my home was taken) I have seen many bands live and none have come close to the energy the guys of Styx bring.
Lorelei and Renegade are my favorite songs from these guys, and now this song's going to be stuck in my head! 👍👌
Sweet Madammosel 👍👍 👍👍 👍
Styx, Supertramp and Rush were my faves during the mid to late 70’s.
All great, Mike!
Styx have got to be one of my all-time favorite bands ever! The line-up DeYoung, Shaw, Young, and the Panozzo brothers was the best! Their albums running from Equinox through to Kilroy Was Here have stood the test of time as some of the best music from the late 70s and early 80s. I can plop on their music and drop into fantastic mood. And, personally, I think that Come Sail Away is one of their greatest songs ever. My only regret is that I never got to go see them in concert during their heyday.
Rock on!
Terrific choice Ken! My first concert was Styx and Peter Frampton. It was one hell of a concert! Keep up the great work Ken 👍.
razzdazz8 Thank you!
I saw them at Turner Field in Atlanta, they were tight, charismatic and Rocked!
Let me just say that, it’s awesome to find someone besides me who wants to see this kind of enthusiasm and energy once again. Tommy Shaw is currently 66 years young.. that’s 4 years ahead of me, and my goal (with KTVA’s help) is to demonstrate that kind of stage presence. Can we do it?? You bet we can! Rock On! :-)
Thanks, once again, for a top-notch reaction video.
Styx, Nothing short of Perfection!
Styx is an awesome band. Great songs!
Yes LOVE IT!!! I love Styx and really enjoyed seeing your enthusiasm for the band. I actually just saw Dennis DeYoung perform last year and he still sounded great - clearly he knows/knew how to preserve his voice all these years. And Tommy Shaw is fantastic - like you all said they're master musicians. One of my personal favs is "Fooling Yourself" :-)
Tommy Shaw is the epitome of rock star!!!!
Can't believe I found a Styx fan my age! PLEASE, PLEASE do QUEEN OF SPADES on the PIECES OF EIGHT ALBUM. It's basically the last really rockin tune that DDY did. They are now doing it in thier live shows, and Gowan does a respectful job on the lead vocal. Oh, and don't forget, FOUR TRIPLE PLATINUM ALBUMS IN A ROW, never done before, and never done again! And if you want to hear some more of thier badass riffs, check out, SUITE MADAM BLUE, MAN IN THE WILDERNESS, AND SNOWBLIND. Most are on the concert video your watching now, the RETURN TO PARADISE ALBUM.
Queen of spades is amazing 🔥🔥🔥
My first concert❤️. Aerosmith and Styx was their back up band. Nassau Coliseum Long Island. I was 14 or 15. Will never forget. I love Styx. Sailing away 🎤🎸🎹
That's awesome, marinemomma62!
One of the most under rated singers! Tommy Bleeping Shaw!
Rock on! 👍
Great video...I feel the same way about Styx. Seen them about 10 times starting in 1981 to present and each time the show is a blow out...what an amazing band ...and so underrated
The scary part is that Tommy Shaw sounds as good today as he did in 1978. He's a musical genius
He's great!
My favorite band all time. Tommy sounds better than ever. 69 years old now
I saw them in concert in 1979 they were with ELO
For Sure STYX is awesome! Every time I've seen them.... they just ROCKED....great entertainers. Love those guys... =R=
Rawd 59 👍
I would be very interested to have to do a reaction to the Styx Since 1999 when Canadian Keyboardist and Singer Lawrence Gowan took over for Dennis DeYoung. I personally like both Dennis and Lawrence as singers , Songwriters and keyboard players. Lawrence Gowan made a huge name for himself in Canada with his solo career before his entrance into STYX
Have seen Lawrence Gowan w Styx about 3 times - unfortunately I find him beyond annoying. Way too overdone, he sort of reminds me of watching a High School air guitar contest. But I put up w him bc Tommy & JY are still so awesome.
I was lucky enough to see Styx with all the original members. THIS is how it should be. Wish they would put their differences aside and do one more tour together.
I love Lawrence's showmanship, and energy. Not to mention his keyboard playing is top notch...
I FEEL THE SAME WAY YOU DO. I MISS THE 70'S AND 80'S THE MUSIC WAS UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING
Yep, I’m old too. I grew up listening and adoring STYX. Nothing better than being inspired. I LOVE your passion and energy Ken!
Thank you!
First band I ever saw live. Insane vocals. Amazing band! Loved this video Ken. Greetings from the UK
Steven Martin GREAT band! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
June 4 - London Palladium. GET YOURSELF THERE 🤘👍🍺😁
YES!! I saw them live in 07' and they're amazing! They toured with Def Leppard and Foreigner that year! I mainly went to see Foreigner, since I'm a HUGE fan. Even tho, Lou isn't in the band anymore. My mom was a huge STYX fan, as am I and we had so much fan! Tommy was amazing and the show was unforgettable. This is one of my favorite STYX songs, love Tommy Shaw!! He doesn't get enough credit! Even in Damn Yankees, he did amazing. I had this cassette tape and it's a great album! Every time I hear this on the radio, I turn it up to 10!
I saw that tour myself, with DL and Foreigner...👍
Ken, its really refreshing to see you all fired up over "old school" rock! We are a dying breed. Thanks, Brother!
It's hard not to, am I right, Brian?!
One of the classic rock era's most amazing singers; a vocal powerhouse. He still sounds the same, in his late 60s. Not sure how singers manage that, but he's done it.
Tommy is absolutely great! Mad skills.
Tommy Shaw is a total rockstar, and that’s an understatement.
Thanks for the visit, rock on!
Hey Ken, that was the first song they played to open that show. I’ve seen these guys live a few times and never once did they let me down. Thanks for posting this cover and keep on rocking...
Actually it was the 2nd song...they opened with Rockin the Paradise
Styx, Journey, AC/DC, Bad Company.....we were so freaking lucky growing up.
Sure were!
My dad took me and my brother to a Styx concert on June 26, 2016. A week later I had bought myself a guitar and was already trying to get a band together. I liked all the modern horrible stuff before that and that concert changed me much for the better and I'm still jamming now and it's really all because of them. Great stuff!!!
👍
Nothing wrong with old Ken! Brilliant!
Wow! Loved this video👍. Great to see how styx has done well for so many years. Ken, was fun watching you get excited too🎤🎼🎸
Great reaction! A real band, real musicians, great harmony.
I discovered Styx thanks to a Puddles (aka Mike Geier) concert, he's got Come Sail Away on his repertoire. :)
I've never seen you so enthusiastic like this. I've been a Styx fan all my life too and they are fantastic, but you were the one who inspired me on being a musician.
That is really great to hear, Egosum Tantum!
I recognize Dennis's jacket in the clothes. This is the concert in the late 90s that I attended at Great Woods in Massachusetts.
Yes this is Return to Paradise. I saw them in Chicago when I was 9 and cried the whole concert away because I wanted Pat Benatar but she left. Now Styx is one of my favorite bands, and I own this DVD! My kids love it with me
I absolutely love your genuine enthusiasm for music! I can tell from your reaction videos, its not just about the vocals. You have a true appreciation for the actual talent it takes to be successful musician/band.
Thanks MrBabyBoa!
Love Styx! I grew up listening to these guys. Tommy is a brilliant musician! They all are. 👏❤
Good choice Ken! 👍
Were.going to see Styx on March 26th in NH. Saw them.last year with Reo Speedwagon and they were soo good I wanted to go back so I could see a longer concert of just them. Even without Dennis Deyoung they sounded awesome!!!!
Pure talent…Pure energy…
These guys are smokin hot singers musicians and performers 😍😘
Awesome review. Too often "experts" review these performance and critique something they themselves could never pull off. Well done!
Tommy Shaw is so underrated as a vocalist...I saw him back in 2004 at a Rock to the Rescue concert and he jammed with all the bands..he can harmonize with anyone at the drop of a hat..His solo albums and the album he did with Jack Blades were absolutely amazing and sadly kind of overlooked..I had his album The Great Divide on repeat on my old cd player in my car years ago...Amazing work on that album!!!
Thanks for sharing, misshair!
Anyone hear his version of ever since the world began? He leaves you in awe and puts tears in your eyes at the same time.
They need to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They really had a huge influence in music and they've never even been nominated.
LT W 👍👍👍
I seen them in the 90‘s live
Awesome
Awesome
More Awesome
Tommy Shaw and the whole Band were great they sound live better than on tape
Styx was killer in concert!!!!
omgoodness! Tommy fricken Shaw!
My fav of that band.
First concert I ever saw was Styx Grand Illusion tour. Tommy Shaw and Dennis DeYoung were absolutely instrumental in the beginning and what has become a 40-year singing career...so far!
Great band!! Rock on!
HOLY COW! First time I've ever seen you, Ken, like a kid in a candy store! LOVE your enthusiasm and sharing a very human moment with us! You're absolutely correct. Bands like this are so few and far between anymore. Bless you man...
I saw Styx live in Billings, MT when I was a teenager....and I wish I could have seen them when I was older. I liked Styx growing up, but I didn't appreciate the quality of music they produced (especially live), but I do now. Good stuff.
Hopefully touring will resume. They are still awesome and put on a fantastic show.
it's a great song especially because of its message I think anyone who got called into the supervisor's office during layoff-time at 4PM can relate to this tune!
To put this song in perspective:
This concert video was from 1996 -- Tommy Shaw was 43 Years Old
Blue Collar Man was written in 1978
Even though Styx had probably played this tune 2,000 times leading up to this show, they still delivered this tune with full on vocals, incredible musicianship and such vibrant stage presence that you would think the tune was only 1 year old and playing it during the Pieces of Eight tour in 78-79'....
And Styx (Tommy Shaw) still perform this song impeccably today; even at the age of 67!
Thanks for listening, rock on!
Tommy is definitely one of the greatest front men/ guitarist ever. And I also love Todd’s drumming, he is such an amazing drummer.
Absolutely, Mr. Slowpoke1975!
One of the great privileges I had in my life was after missing Yes and Led Zeppelin shows when I was an exchange student in Pennsylvania USA was having attended the Styx show at Steelers Stadium in Pittsburgh in 1979 (I dropped the almanac ) They featured basically The Grand Illusion, Pieces of Eight and I think one or two songs from what would become Cornerstone. It was my first rock show in a stadium and I was blown away for life. It's rock but it has a lot of progressive.Something strange was that Dennis DeYoung with a peculiar voice timbre did not seem like a rocker. Tommy Shaw as a Gibson man and James Young a Fender man always. Regards from Mar del Plata, Argentina. City of Aldosivi! the port soccer team haha
Another wonderful analogy of one of the greatest live bands of all time Ken!!! You nail it every time!!!Rock on !!!!Love your channel!!!
Thank you, Gregory!
Awesome reaction video Ken!!! Awesome band!🖒🖒🖒😁 🤘
That's a strong voice plus those harmonies
They allso have one of the best ballads of all times: boat on the river.
I R O N G R A Y 👍👍👍
Damn bro, that's the song playing in my head at this moment lol 😊
Great Band for sure...always loved Dennis D. voice..
Tommy Shaw is a seriously underrated vocalist. He's also done some great covers.
VIDEOHEREBOB Yes, you're probably acquainted with Shaw/Blades?
@@kentamplin Yes, and his cover of "Ever since the world began."
I'm 50 and have been a guitar player, bassist, and subpar singer since I was a kid. Lately I've found myself looking back at all great bands who were organic and played their asses off like this.
I've also found myself gravitating to home recording "artists" and finding that organic vibe again. The cream will rise. I think another great era of real music is brewing as we speak.
Just fantastic 👍😁
Great to hear what a big influence Styx has been for you. I saw Styx in 1979 as a 13 year old in Champaign, IL. My older sister had Pieces of Eight, and I listened to it endlessly. What a great album! This brings back great memories. I always enjoy your reaction videos and your selections. Keep them coming.
One the most excellent bands ever. Super great musicianship 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💫
Hey Ken it thrills me to see you do this video. The way you describe tommy and this band is how I have felt about them for 45 years. And here’s the thing you may not know about that video you saw. It was the last night of a several month tour. They were probably close to playing their 65th show or thereabouts on the night that show was filmed. That provides even more perspective l!!!! Anyway, thanks for your videos. I love what you do.
Ohh YES!!! Love Styx but honestly, it's Tommy Shaw, good ole Southern Boy, that I love, Damn Yankees, Wow!! And yes he's a phenomenal guitarist too!!! ❤️🎶
Gee Me Love Damn Yankees!
@@kentamplin love their harmonies, Tommy Shaw and Jack Blades!! ❤️😉
@@kentamplin YOU MUST REACT TO DAMN YANKEES. VOCALS. Jack and Tommy sound ridiculously good on those records. They worked hard on those tracks.
Nice to see Styx get some kudos. Great singers, great band.
Shaw is amazing!!!!
Was in 12th grade when this song came out. It makes me think about the people I hung out 41 years ago. Life goes way too fast ( seems like last year). Enjoy today and treat those you are with love..... 🙂
The days are long, but the years are quick, I AM AN OVERCOMER!
