Passive aggressive vs AGGRESSIVE AGGRESSIVE you two are jokes.
They have publicly run down Dennis and his music for 22 years in an AGGRESSIVE way. Everyone here knows it. They have been hypocrites and liars for 22 years Mr. Roboto anyone?
Dennis did his speech in advance of the Styx induction not knowing what they would say in a venue which was ten minutes from where he lived for 20 years in front of a Chicago suburban audience.
Tommy isn’t from Illinois the two original members are and they stood their mute because it’s $haws band.
Ah, poor Dennis, always a victim and has to hold on to his victimhood for 22yrs and still try to insult his way out of it. That is so sad. :'(
Cry me a river. He made a passive aggressive insult towards Tommy Shaw because he cannot control Tommy, or Styx, and force them to do and say what HE wants them to. You and Dennis both need to grow up.
The guys in Styx -- John and Chuck Panozzo, John Curulewski, James Young and what’s his name…couldn’t resist, Tommy Shaw -- 5 guys from Illinois and one from Alabama created the music that earned us this honor. So to them I say a heartfelt thanks to a job well done.
Cheers, The man with no name
This is what #1 Mr pee and #2 Mr. poo think is so egregious.
He makes a joke about his omission then mentions $haw which is more than Tommy did.
That is EXACTLY what a passive aggressive insult it. Dennis does not have the balls to publicly say, "Tommy did not say my name and as the most important member of Styx, that offends me greatly and he should be ashamed." Even though that is how he feels, he is not man enough to say it so he makes a sarcastic joke about it. THAT IS BEING PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE.
If you want Dennis to sail away into the sunset tell them to stop the public antagonizing and disrespect.
Nobody here controls JY or Tommy.
Let's take another example of Dennis being a passive aggressive insulting narcissitic asshole...
I watched a video a while back where Dennis was asked to share his thought about Gowan. I watched it because it seemed like it would be interesting to hear his comments. What did Dennis say?
First he want on and on about how players are "a dime a dozen". You can always find somebody to play the notes. He saw some video of a 4yr old playing Eddie Van Halan. So, that's all irrelevant.
Then he want on about how Larry was the best Larry Gowan there is. That nobody is a better Larry Gowan than Larry Gowan. And, he went on about that for a couple minutes.
Then he says that he is the best Dennis DeYoung. He belts out a few words from Lady, and then "Come Sail Away". "See what I mean?" he says. He says he watched a lot of videos of people trying to be him, and a couple people come close, but nobody gets there.
What a fucking arrogant prick. First he insults every musician that plays an instrument because he doesn't want to admit that Gowan is a better keyboardist than he is. Then he goes on this weird comparison to basically say that nobody can replace him in Styx. Passive aggressive bullshit and narcissism.
What Dennis doesn't understand is Styx did not just seek out somebody to replace his voice and keyboards, but somebody they could get along with as a band member. Yeah, he needed to be able to play keyboards and sing...but do something that Dennis couldn't - get along well with the band.
....and he never REALLY answered the question.
And take the BATHWATER bubbles out of your ears and listen to his acknowledgement and reverence for the other members. Then read the myriad of comments denouncing Tommy s speech. Then read Ron Romero’s comments. It’s clear who he thinks is important and descent.
How far up Dennis' ass the HOF is is not the question. But, keep squirming around, I'm sure there is room up there for all of you.
