    OMG - That's exactly what I was going to write. Tommy Shaw is really a great guitarist. I appreciate that a lot more now that I'm not in my 20s driving a long commute and hearing Styx all too often. They were one of the bands that lifted us out of the disco desert of the 70s

    Paradise Theater has to be one of the greatest rock albums in history! I got it in 1981, just after I got my Rogers R-380 drumkit, and I HAD to learn these songs! Yeah, it was hard, and with a Zildjian A series Ride, Crash-Ride, Thin Crash, and New beat Hi Hats, I just got, not long before I got this record, I had alot to do with only a little in the lines of cymbals! I played my ASS off, and damned if I didn't get this WHOLE ALBUM DOWN PAT! These days, I still have my Rogers R-380 set, now with Paiste 2002 cymbals, and a bunch of them, so I can easily play those famous licks! Just plain incredible band, incredible music--when EVERY SONG is as good as the others, it means it's a perfect album--and this one was! STYX FOREVER!

    Tommy Shaw is one of the most underrated guitarists ever (I know it sounds cliche, but it’s true.) he was the one inspired me to pick up the guitar, and the solo to too much time on my hands got me inspired to play lead! I loved the feel of the solo! Tommy is such a great player! Def in my top 5 influences next to EVH and Ace Frehley

    Great song, written from an idea from a fellow customer, at a bar in Niles Michigan (about 34 minutes from my house) when Tommy lived here. This is the year John passed away from cirrhosis and subsequently, it was the last year that STYX was original. John was falling very ill (that's why they don't show him much close up in this concert) and still played an awesome show! The same year Todd Sucherman stepped in and has been the drummer for 30+ years. as retired professional drummer for 30 years in Los Angeles, I can only wonder what it's like to play the same 95% same songs for three decades, no wonder he's kickin ass!

Tommy & JY got the Styx name and DDY “won” the right to be Dennis DeYoung! Tommy is an outstanding front man!!! DDY is an egomaniac and a control freak!

    I am so grateful to be alive today. My girlfriend saved my life last night. This is a selfie I took in the emergency room after having a severe allergic reaction to almonds. I went into anaphylaxis, meaning my face, my lips, my eyes, my tongue, and my throat all started swelling up rapidly, making it almost impossible for me to breathe. I also had a rash all over my entire body, and I was extremely red. Staying alive had never felt more difficult. At one point, my nasal passage was completely blocked, and it was getting more and more difficult to breathe. They shot me up with Benadryl, steroids, they gave me a breathing tube, and even other stuff that I can’t even remember, and it caused all of the swelling and the rash to go away. Because this was a severe allergic reaction, I need to continue taking steroids and Benadryl for the next week, because it is possible that the allergic reactions could come back at any point over the next week. The steroids and Benadryl make me feel like a zombie, and I really want to take care of my health, so this will be my main focus over the next week. I want to thank my amazing girlfriend, who made the decision to take me to the emergency room the second I started feeling itchy. I was hesitant about going, because I didn’t even want to believe this was actually happening. If it weren’t for my girlfriend driving me to the emergency room only minutes after eating the almonds, there is a good chance that I wouldn’t have made it according to the doctor. This has been without a doubt the hardest few days of my life, but I also look at them as the most important few days of my life. These moments have reminded me about what’s really important in life, and it has made me so grateful to even be here on this earth. I will be prioritizing my health over the next week, and I’ll post updates about how I feel. Thank you all for being patient during these difficult times. This week has been NUTS (too soon for jokes? 😅)
