As for JY and Tommy Shaw firing DDY, I was not a fly on the wall to see what kind of thing DDY said or did they upset these guys so much. Personally, I think the current Styx deal is a an adequate cover band.

Let me ...Actually Dennis is mentioned on styxworld. Let me post a quote:<br />"JY and Tommy wanted to keep their renewed momentum intact, and they began to discuss how to do just that. But to move ahead, they had to part ways with founding member Dennis DeYoung — the man behind some of the band’s most indelible hits, including “Lady,” “The Grand Illusion,” and “Come Sail Away” — because the collective chemistry had changed. “Dennis led the charge to the top of the charts,” says JY. “He’s an incredible singer, a motivated writer who wrote some great lyrics, and one very strong keyboard player. He just didn’t want to be part of a democracy. We truly wish him well. We did some incredible work together, but there’s no basis for us to work together again.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4319871768110476457.post-29620948058073948692013-08-17T03:34:31.567-07:002013-08-17T03:34:31.567-07:00Ok would qladly buy ddy ts jy styx re-recordings. ...Ok would qladly buy ddy ts jy styx re-recordings.

JY HATES Dennis. Chuck has hinted at wanting Dennis back, he's stated he wants no more animosity between the groups.<br /><br />Dennis has never once changed his story, and he would most likely reunite if it was offered. Dennis is waiting for the "hey were sorry come on back" instead of going and saying "he guys, lets drop the shit, we make good music lets make more together"<br /><br /><br />Fact - Dennis had a root canal which became infected, the infection became worse before it got better. Dennis recorded most of his parts of BNW at his home, while JY and Tommy recorded and edited it elsewhere. Dennis doesn't like touring 200 nights a year for one thing but he also became heavily light sensitive in his eyes and face. An hour under stage lights would cause him complete exhaustion so he asked the band for 6 months to get better. They refused saying they had to do a summer tour along side with the release of the album.<br /><br />The rest is history. Dennis had actually been replaced already when they made their final appearance together on the Children's Miracle Network telethon. Knowing the back story and watching it is heart wrenching. Dennis even makes a comment to the effect of people sticking together, knowing his band mates replaced him.<br /><br />Initially it was "oh Dennis is getting better so we're touring with someone else for now" then he sued and that was it.<br /><br />I wish, hope and dream he'll reunite with those guys again someday soon... we'll see.<br /><br />What really gets me is that the band literally chose to remove all history of Dennis from the band. Go onto styxworld.com and try to find any reference to Dennis forming the band with Chuck and John.<br /><br />The like to pretend he was never even there... what a shame.MCoophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870898286146922133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4319871768110476457.post-88112988564158911102013-07-04T10:36:04.806-07:002013-07-04T10:36:04.806-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.MCoophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870898286146922133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4319871768110476457.post-88021556156712201652013-03-02T13:51:44.533-08:002013-03-02T13:51:44.533-08:00ya know there isn't anything to add, your adde...ya know there isn't anything to add, your added comments are exactly what all of us have been thinking. Styx with out Deyoung isn't Styx just as REO with Richrath isn't REO. I admire the Rolling Stones for being able to get past the egos for all these years, too bad other bands can't do it.
