CYCLORAMA

Oh this just sucks. Dennis is missed. Brave new world was OK, but this one doesn't work. I think the band could continue without Tommy Shaw, and they did for a while-- but they can't go on without Dennis. Tommy is really good on his own and I like his work with Blades, but he's always been more of a solo artist in my opinion. I'd go to a Tommy Shaw concert any day, but having him lead Styx is not a good idea. I did see this version of Styx live, and I was not impressed (and I've seen them many times). Maybe it's because I'm from Illinois and had been a fan of Styx since before Tommy joined. Dennis is a 'different' lead singer/band leader, but he IS Styx.
