Folks, I hope we can all have our opinions and viewpoints (we're pretty much all outsiders to this?) without regressing into personal and petty attacks on one another.
Obviously we had quite the aggressor here and I think they actively stirred the pot to get others going. It was not healthy for any of us to keep engaging that.
So.. if we can move forward, if we can agree to disagree when it comes to "Tommy and JY's Styx" versus Dennis and keep emotional flare ups in check then this can be a good place for all of us.
At least that's my own opinion, disagree if you'd like.. just don't get personal... please let that crap happen elsewhere on the internet
I totally agree......I for one have never been one to get "upset" about any opinion on the matter. we dont know these people.....we only know what they want us to know or what they have been unable to keep us from knowing. getting along with people or working side by side with people for years or decades can be very difficult.
would i prefer they were together? heck yeh.
am I glad they are all playing and still out there performing even if not together? heck yeh.
are they good people? I dont know......seems like they are decent humans.
if I found out otherwise, it doesnt change my love for their art and what they have provided for me to listen to for the last 40+ years.
to me their is no 'true" styx anymore without at least the big three together......I know many people disagree, but that's how I see it. its the three of them together that is really styx to me. but I dont care what DDY bills himself as and I sure as hell dont blame TS or JY for billing themselves as styx because as a business decision it makes 100% perfect sense to capture all the money you can.
I say carry on to all of them!
