    I lived next door to Tommy Shaw's (blonde headed guitarist) parents in Montgomery, Alabama growing up in the 80s.. My first car was a 78 Cutlass Supreme that belonged to Tommy's mother originally.
    I went to several Styx concerts growing up and my dad was Tommy's dad's apprentice at Alagasco, the company they worked for and inspired one of Tommy's hit songs that he wrote, Blue Collar Man.
    Tommy was a rocker at heart and left the band shortly after Mr. Roboto came out. Synthesizers and Broadway production would prove to ultimately be too much, but it was still a tough decision because Styx waa so lucrative.

    Styx 💜 ( another band with a similar style and similar meaningful lyrics in their songs is R.E.O. Speedwagon... the same kind of intensity and speed. One of their songs I really like a lot is Take The Long Way Home.) He adapted his voice and style on Grand Illusion to be reminiscent of being at a carnival with the "barker" yelling out to the crowd of ticket holders to come on in and see the show!

    That guitar is a stock Gibson Explorer. It was introduced in 1958, but didn't sell very well, so it was discontinued in 1963. Gibson brought it back in 1976 and it has been in continuous production ever since.

      Tommy's actually playing a Hamer version here though. Although he surely did play a Gibson Explorer in the earlier days.

    When I was in Junior High speech class, the teacher assigned a project to teams to write a speech about someone they admired. I still remember one team did a speech about Styx. It's just a rock band, but they made good arguments.

    One of my favorite Styx songs is often overlooked... Snowblind.... Dennis does not sing lead on that one... but it is a 'dark' topic.... I think you would enjoy reacting to it....

    Other great songs from this concert you should react to are Suite Madame Blue, Come Sail Away, Renegade, and Snowblind. I've been a Styx fan since 1977. James Young is my favorite band member.

    I've seen Styx numerous times. I even saw Dennis DeYoung in the Broadway touring musical Jesus Christ Superstar. He was incredible and the cast was stellar! Ted Neeley and Carl Anderson, who played the parts of Jesus and Judas in the 70s movie were in the cast as well as Irene Cara.

    • @hubrisnaut
      @hubrisnaut 4 місяці тому +1

      wow, You got to see Irene Cara? I am a simple man who knows who this incredible woman is. She wrote and sang original timeless hits yet few people know who she was. I don't understand why.. I was very sad to hear the news she died. She is of my generation and I was disturbed to find out she passed away. She was so lovely. kids, Just look her up. .I am certain you will know her voice as part of our culture. She is an unnamed icon. The woman won every major award, Academys, Grammys, Golden Globes, Billboards and it goes on. to international fame. You never heard of her?

    As a side note, the Pittsburgh Steelers use the song Renegade as a rally song during their home games. That's Styx with Shaw doing tge vocals and those people in Pittsburgh go ape shit when it plays in the stadium during games there to this very day

    This was one of my favorite of all your reactions, Britt. 🙂 They're music is always uplifting. You can't help but smile when listening. And a live show is like a religious experience - you just feel amazing afterwards with so much hope and positivity.
    Love the band, seen em live 6 times. The singer Dennis DeYoung is/was a big Broadway fan - wrote, produced and sang productions on Broadway.
    The band eventually broke up in the early 80s because the other members of the band felt he was being too theatrical and Broadway with the direction of his music and they wanted a little more traditions harder rock vibes.
    Either way - he's phenomenal singer.
    The band still tours without him. One fun fact about the band - then and now - they have three lead singers - Dennis On Keyboard/piano, Tommy shaw (rhythm, acoustic, and lead guitar) and "JY" James Young (guitarist). They each wrote their own songs and so the band's music is quite varied cuz they each have a different vocal style. It also creates amazing harmonies having three good singers.

    Almost forgot, Styx put up their U.S. tour dates for 2024, you should really listen to a bunch of their grwat sings and go see them by you. We see them every year over here in NY. Theyusually play smaller venues so tickets are always affordable

    One of your better ones for me
    This is exactly why I like people that react to bands that play live ,
    You get there talent
    There passion, there skill, their ability to play live , there ad-lib ,that's what every band strive to do play live, but enough about that, that's just me but
    You've opened up the can now go down the rabbit hole of the band called "STYX" the catalogs is big
    And worth doing
    But anyway
    Keep up the good work Brittreact 💯
