He's much calmer, sane and less bitter and jealous in this interview which is good to see. Not so in more in recent interviews.

I’ve seen Dennis interviewed several times and he never disappoints. Funny, real, and humble (for a rock star)-the kind of guy you’d wanna have a beer with and shoot the baloney. Glad I took the time to visit with him today.

The rest of Styx stayed on the rock and roll path, he chose the artsy cabaret path. His music is a little effeminate. Sorry

@@Mncrrf you were a true Styx fan and understood their music, they were both rock and parts "effeminate" as you would say. Even Shaw wrote some tracks (Sing For The Day, Boat On The River, Lights) that could be considered what you label as "effeminate", so your argument is pretty weak. DDY wrote the rockers Lady which is responsible for them having their first hit and getting them noticed. No DDY, no Styx. He was also fired from the band because he was physically unable to tour after the release of Brave New World. DDY's new album is more rock and more Styx than Stynx's Crap of The Crown. See what I did there?

@@Mncrr Funny how nobody bitched about Queen being 'effeminate'. One of the biggest rock bands of all time. I guess classy is 'effeminate' to you Wanna know some sappy songs Tommy Shaw wrote that he never gets flak for? "Sing for the Day" and "She Cares". Now why is that?

Dennis has been out of the band longer than he was in it, and Styx has played more concerts with Gowan than Dennis. Styx enjoys going out and playing, something Dennis didn't want to do. Dennis sure hasn't done anything incredibly exciting or memorable in the last 23 years, Styx has continued being busy, Crash of the Crown was great, The Mission was great, Big Bang Theory was fun, and there's some decent tunes on Cyclorama, the CYO thing was fantastic. It was a divorce, Tommy/Jy/and Chucky don't want to ever work with him again, they've spent more time in a room with him than you ever will. I have people in my life I never want to see again either.

What a great interview. I understand what he means by going back to our own music. Of our time. I would love to see Dennis as an actor. Also the musical " The Hunchback of Notre Damn. " I'm sure he would have been fantastic. I hope this is not insulting but I love " Desert Moon."

Dennis mentioned the band opening for Stevie Wonder in the 70s. That was probably before Styx became headliners. I clearly remember in high school the black students loved the hell out of the song "BABE" it was very talked about. Styx had cross sectioned appeal. Most arena bands had that appeal and didn't know it. Condoleezza Rice is a huge fan of Led Zepplin. 10:58

To be honest, Dennis DeYoung pretty much became a scenery chewing front man who quickly turned Styx into an adult contemporary act. Things got even worse when Styx reformed in 1990 and had a hit with Show Me The Way, and DeYoung took up all of the creative control resulting in Styx becoming nothing more than his backing band with little resemblance to the original group.
