  1. Correct---Tommy came in later (see above, Zepfan's corrected post).

    Actually Styx and REO have done a few tours together in the past decade, and even put out a live CD called Arch Allies a few years ago. They are also touring together again this summer. Check out www.Styxworld.com for tour dates.

    As to Mr Roboto...suffice it to say the finished product was LIGHT years from the "rough draft" and NOT for the good, in my opinion. I think Dennis got his hands on it too much--shoulda left it as it was!!

    As to Damn Yankees, I think it was good for Tommy if for no other reason than he got to hook up with Jack Blades and make a few discs with him over the years ...the last one being about 1 1/2 years ago or so (a really good disc of songs they cover that were influential to them growing up). And they did a mini-tour together to promote that disc, too. :)

    Why thankie for you response, Sharon.

    Jack Blades, wasn`t he hooked up with Night Ranger?

    Too bad that whole early 90s gig with Damn Yankees seemed to get drowned out in the cacophony of Grunge.

  2. How's it going "L 7?" I apologize for misinforming people such as yourself. I wrote many notes and I kind of mixed the facts on different pages missing the very important point that you mentioned about Tommy Shaw. You're right, Tommy Shaw is not from Chicago. In 1972, STYX recruited Guitarists James "JY" Young and John Curulewski. In 1975, John Curulewski left STYX and would be replaced by Tommy Shaw. John Curulewski would pass away from an Aneurysm in 1988. Again, thanks for correcting me "L 7," I really want to make sure that all of our fellow ZEPPELIN fanatics get the true facts. I LOVE REO SPEEDWAGON! That sounds like another great 1970's thread in the making in itself! ROCK ON!

    Whats gwoin` down ZFF, besides Paris Hilton.

    ZFF, can I call you zeffy, rhymes with hefe, Spanish for the boss.

    Being from Tejas, you already know that. :D

    I hope I didn`t come off as correcting you, a fellow rocker. With your connections and cornucopia of knowlegde about music, I am unworthy.

    Apologies if I did!

    Rock on!

  3. Hoz-zit gwoin`LFF.

    Caught Styx in 1979/80-ish in Alabama, (sorry, not sure of the exact year- a bit hazy)

    Tommy Shaw is from Montgomery, Alabama and I didn`t think if he was a funding member of Styx. I thought he joined later.

    Tommy Shaw had a cult following in Alabama being raised on cornbread. :D Styx to your ribs!

    Well anyway, Styx never was my thing, airy and sappy with all the ballads like Lorelei, Come Sail Away and Lady.

    Styx reached its crescendo with me with Blue Collar Man. Great guitar solo. Did Tommy Shaw play that?

    Tommy Shaw can play but what the hay was he thinging when he teamed up with the anti-rocker, Ted "The Stooge" Nugent?

    Damn, those Yankees sucked

    I remember I had the 8-track tape with Lorelei and Lies because my brother loathed it while we were toolin` around in the 71 Camaro.

    Please don`t get me started on Mr. Roboto..domo domo.

    Is there a smilie for projectile vomiting?

    The Chicago pop metal tamdem of REO Speedwagon/Styx would make a great reunion tours for casinos and bars

  4. Sleeplesss.jpg

    For those interested, I highly recommend Peter Wolf's Sleepless record which he released several years ago. It's well worth it, particularly the guest appearances from Mick and Keith (though those are only a few of many highlights from that album).

    Gotta hand it to Peter The Wolfe. I would be sleepless to if I was divorced from Faye Dunaway.

  5. Yes, Must Have Got Lost is a favorite of mine, along with Freeze Frame.

    I saw them once in Montgomery, Alabama in 1976 or `77 (having a senior moment) with Mother`s Finest and Foghat.

    My partners and I were the first ones in and they had tables turn on their sides to block the stage. We leaned on the tables, drank beer and burned a little rope. I know I shouldn`t say that here, but even the old cop sitting in an chair behind the tables told us to "twist it up".

    Lord, I had to pee by the time it was over.

    All the bands were great!

    Need a little help with a song, not sure if J. Geils does it but there are a lot of drums at the end, almost like WAR, the band. :slapface:

  6. I really like Steely Dan but I have to admit AJA was the most over-played recording since Hotel California in the late 70s.

    You couldn`t escape Deacon Blues, Josie, nor Peg.

    Favorites are FM, Do It Again, Show Biz Kids and of course, Reeling In The Years

  7. Hey Butthead!! You know that PoppyCock sticks to the teeth and requires much dental work to remove don't you?

    Please call me shit-for-brains.

    Teeth?

    I keep them on top of a empty beer can in the cardboard box I live in.

    I pan-handle for internet time at the local Wal Mart and Big Shirley says time is up.

    I think she has something else in mind.

  8. ^ Oh come on now!

    Your pulling my leg, while you pull your pud.

    I love her too. :D

    Spank the monkey?

    Never!

    But Juliette could ride the baloney pony any day!

    Speaking of L7 have you ever seen the video of Donita Sparks throw her tampon at the crowd in London?

    Those girls are scarry!

    SYZ, I prefer Fiddle Faddle and PoppyCock...(best Beavis and Butthead voice) hehe...He said cock!

  9. Hey ya know, L7 did a great song called shitlist. Did you see Natural Born Killers?

    Oh yes. The song played in the opening scene when Mallory askes "Are you flirting with me?"

    She proceeds to kick the crap out of that guy.

    Too bad Joy kicked the crap out of her on My Name is Earl.

    Actually I was listening to L7 when I picked that name.

    Juliette Lewis!

    Every time she comes on the screen. So do I!
