Nope, they are two fucking liars. And I mean fucking liars. Trump is too. Says a lot about you that you like him. That's a shame.

It actually speaks volumes about you.
You can’t accept DDY is no longer in Styx the same way you can’t accept Hillary got buried.
I’d tell you to move on like us normal folks do but I’m sure you’ve got a protest to organize or something to burn.
Don’t get too close to the flame.
Snowflakes melt.

So you are putting your eggs in the basket of a narcissistic, habitually lying, sexual harasser? Who supported a child molester in Roy Moore?
That's why this country is going to hell in a hand basket.
But I'm looking forward to seeing his ass impeached.

I think you need your safe space. Dow record highs, border crossing plummet, tax overhaul, Oblama
Mandate repeal, ISIS shattered, I could go on...and he’s just getting started. As he would say, Merry Christmas

Since it’s Christmas I’m gonna take the Night Ranger ( High Road) and not point out what a total fu..... idiot you are. That would not be right. After all , you make that 100% evident with every self centered moronic post you make. Instead I’m gonna wish everybody including You a very Merry Christmas, and a safe healthy happy 2018. I hope it’s the best year yet for all of you.

Dennis recently discussed on his FB page this very video\photo shoot and the band. It's worth reading what he has to say. After all he was there.

masque wrote:Boom.....I have read what DDY said about this.....but all that represents is how he felt right at that exact moment of when this was filmed. or how he thinks he remembered he felt at the time.
If you read my post, then think about the times in your life you have been happy over something taking place at that very moment but those feelings dont represent your true overall feelings about the situation.....much like my marriage analogy.
and lest us not forget, in the time frame between cornerstone and paradise theatre, the rest of the band was so pissed at DDY they "fired" him and only reluctantly allowed him back because "they couldnt think of a good enough replacement" or whatever.
point being, is how truly "happy" can people be but yet fire that band member then allow him back due to business reasons? are those the actions of "happy" people? yet, this goofy video is supposed to "be the real evidence"......lol uh huh. For me personally, I will rely more on the fact that they had enough problems with him at the HEIGHT of their fame they chose to try to get rid of him vs. watching how "happy" they seem to be during a promotional video for their new album at the time.
look, i'm sure they had lots of great moments, lots of highs and lots of lows......tommy and JY and DDY weren't lifelong friends, they were business partners. so on the way up, they were together.....once they got there, they started seeing things differently and it changed their relationships......no big surprise there......it's happened in thousands of businesses before. their business was apparently no different. we all want to believe their relationship was one big love fest and they were a band of brothers......they weren't......they were a band of musicians that were also business partners. the business relationships became strained and that's the end of it.

The point I think DDY has tried to make is that things in regards what the relationships were as band mates has been overblown and not presented exactly the way things were. None of us here are close personal friends or confidants of any of them. I never thought the band was "one big love fest". When you have creative, opinionated and strong willed people working to together you are going to encounter problems. It's a common thread that you see in lots of successful bands.
I remember seeing a interview with Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins where talked about band member relationships. He said when they started to gain success, a label exec or manager pulled him aside to talk to him about song writing credits. The person suggested that Billy share the credit with the rest of the members even though they weren't involved in the writing. The person said that if he didn't it was going to cause problems with his band mates. Billy didn't do what was suggested. He said that at times it did cause some issues. That is because Billy ended up earning more then the others. He was getting royalties from album sales as well as song writer royalties. He also said that other band mates started doing side projects and he had no problem with it. He didn't feel it was his right to stand in their way.
I speculate that there was a similar situation going on Styx. I speculate that JY has and still does harbor resentment towards DDY because of this same type of thing.

I think that it centered more around who was making what off "the business" then other things. Also, it seems that some think DDY is trying to paint their relationships as all "sugar plums and lolipops". Which he isn't. He admits they had disagreements and conflicts at times. His point is that they got along more then they didn't. That people focus more on the conflicts and disagreements then anything else. I believe he has said that if things were as they were portrayed in BTM, he would have never stayed in the band. Out of all of them, DDY has been the most respectful of his former band mates when talking about them to the public.
