One of the heads for RRHOF Jann Wenner, despises the band. He's had it in for Styx ever since their old manager Derek Sutton, stopped allowing them to do press conferences in the 1970's. And Wenner is also head of Rolling Stone Magazine...
Speaking of appreciating. Last week you played a video of 15 year old Steve Winwood. A day or two later a friend of mine was sharing that video to his son who is in a heavy metal band. I have not seen this guy in five years when he came to see me at the funeral home when my mother passed. I have known him for around 37 years. So I responded to that Facebook post saying: "You watch Jamel aka Jamal too?" He said:" Love him... just be a good human." I replied: "Be Humble, Be kind, Sread Joy, Peace & LOVE." He is in Virginia and I am in South Carolina. I just want you to know you are doing something great and I love that. I also think it is great that two old friends have something in common without even knowing it. Thank you.
@@Barnes466 Styx, The Doobie Brothers, Jackson Brown, Bob Seger, The Eagles, The 3 Dog Night, Sugarloaf, Meatloaf, Billy Joel, Queen - I could go on and on .... so much good music.
The Grand Illusion album was a theme album. Songs the carried that message were part of the experience of the album. Each song was a part of the whole message.
Saw that your. In the coliseum in Seattle Great show sold out 15,000 seen them against 7 years later at a county fair for 7 bucks family crowd of 2500. It was nice.
Thanks Laurie for telling us about this. Had a tear in my eye the whole way through both songs. What a fantastic thing for Tommy Shaw to do and super job by the kids. Wow.
Styx kicked ass from day 1 and can still kick ass today. They never stopped. Not even when star Dennis DeYoung left. They added Larry Gowan and the steamroller crushed on.
@@feldspar3858 I've seen them several places over the years and not one was any cheesie venue as you describe. And each show was blisteringly good. Do you know what SourGrapes means.?
Crushed on? Really? The "steamroller" hasn't done anything of note with mass appeal in over 20 years since they fired Dennis, who (besides actually founding the band with the Panozzo bros) was unquestionably the leader & provided the signature sound of Styx. Freakin' Larry Gowan and his gimmicky spinning keyboard are a joke. Nothing but a karaoke cover band with bad plastic surgery anymore. Dennis DeYoung however, is actually still making really good original music.
Such a great song! My son's algebra 1 teacher played this for her students before state testing. It was really cool because I've been a Styx fan since my early teens. 😁
Brings back so many great memories of the carefree happy days of my youth! I saw Styx Live at the Cobo Arena in Detroit Michigan back in 1977, I was 17 years old then and I’m 62 now! What an awesome concert even though we were way up in the nose bleed section. The sound was phenomenal so we didn’t care that they looked like ants on the stage! 😂 The sound and atmosphere was magical. A great time for sure! Thank you for taking me back to that moment in time and I love your reactions and your kind spirit.
Shaw, Young, and DeYoung probably the greatest vocalist trio of any group. And that intro is one of the best with that staccato keyboard flowing into the acoustic into the slow funk, then it ends on that hard edge. Great song, great band.
There are lots of younger people in the world today that need this message. Don't be angry over everything and if something doesn't go your way then accept what you can't change and work on what you can. Just because someone disagrees with you that does not make them a "bad" human.
Love it. Thanks for taking me back to late 70's. I loved this album as a kid. The news broadcast back then used the keyboard intro from this song. It's very nostalgic.
BTW I'M 52, FROM MINNESOTA I SERVED IN THE 82ND AIRBORNE DIV. AND XVIII AIRBORNE CORPS IN THE MID-1980's. Ft. Benning and Ft. Bragg. Love your reactions!!!
I was there at the same time. I saw Pfc Hudick's chute malfunction (cigarette roll) and watched him come walking over the dunes of Sicily DZ cussing, around 5 minutes later (he was damn lucky that drop was at soft dune Sicily, and not frickin' concrete feeling Nijmegen or St. Mere Eglise). Also saw the C-130 disaster at the CAPEX from the stands. BTW, if you haven't been back since those days, all the long barracks we lived in are gone. They look like condos now.
I was born in 1950 and now realize how lucky I was to grow up with all this incredible music from the 50s 60s 70s and 80s .... Glad to see you reaching out to all the young people out there ... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 👍👍👍👍👍
I love seeing your RUSH picture on the back wall. It's why I started watching your reactions. It's cool it kinda started this whole new world for you. It's awesome the diversity on the channel but still classic from my childhood. Keep it up! God bless.
I met Tommy Shaw last week and I can't get enough of these reactions now. After listening to Styx since the 70s, I was overwhelmed meeting him. Nice guy, great tunes!
Yes, thank you! I've been asking for him to check out Tommy Shaw & Jack Blade singing with their famous voices on High Enough by the Damn Yankees - amazing vocal range!
Great Band to see in concert. They sound just like their records. This is another really good 70s Styx song. Memories come rushing back when I hear these great old songs.
Tommy Shaw...such a great artist. Thx for playing more Styx. I was transported back to the days of high school, cars and cruising our town's main drag.
Been listening to Styx since the 70s .. I finally got to experience them in concert at the hard rock in Biloxi years ago…they were the best rock live act I have ever seen/ heard .. amazing 🤩
Thanks for doing this song from a group that I only know a few songs from so I'm honored to be on this journey with you! Great job once again Jamal and could you please react to Andy Gibb's Shadow Dancing he's the one brother of The Bee Gees that's hardly talked about! R.I.P Andy Gibb !🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🕺🕺🕺
Tommy has/had a song on Side 2 (for those that had the record) called "Man In The Wilderness" that I clung to like a life-raft in high school. It was how I felt but didn't have my own words to convey. Also: Shout out to the Panozzo twins (bassist and drummer) one of the best rhythm sections in rock.
Good stuff! Your music reaction channel is the best IMO. Your motto of “keep great music alive” is what you’re about, you’re not making about yourself. You listen to the song, don’t say how much you liked it or disliked it you just talk about what you heard/saw; make good comments, some funny, some thoughtful and some emotional. I dig it, keep up the good work.
I get so much joy from watching your reviews....... Styx is my favorite band.... And seeing you feel what I feel..... Goosebumps...... I adore you..... Your positivity is so beautiful ❤️
Styx & Rush. 2 of my favorite bands. Grew up in the late 70's and early 80's I was so blessed. Saw them both in concert several times. Floated away on the music, the pot, and my imagination. Great times, youth!
Another great track from them ! You should really do the entire album as each track blends into one another .... but probably get a copyright violation for that ! Lol !! xxxx Keep up the great work and keep great music alive !!
I remember this song and many others being played on the radio stations in the mid-late 80s when i was a kid. born in 1980, remember all of this music. so damn good.
Such an anthem song with a military drum cadence! I always loved Styx since I was a young girl in the 70's. "Lady" was the 1st song I ever heard by them, and I was hooked!
Love Styx! And this has probably been said before, but I also love your music room. It looks fantastic! The gray walls with the black frames? Gorgeous! The word "Music" above your name? The framed picture of Rush? Classic! And the brighter colors just pop! You have great taste, sir. It's a pleasure to view you reacting in this room.
Styx was the soundtrack to my senior year in high school and college years. This song is a classic. So glad you're enjoying the great lyrics and music :)
Just now discovering this video. Fun fact about this song: Shaw wrote this song about Dennis DeYoung actually. DDY was getting extremely jaded with how the band was going.

Later on, Shaw stated he also saw himself in this song as well. Secondly, this album was the start of the four triple platinum albums in a row for Styx. Enjoy!
Kudos to Styx for writing uplifting and encouraging lyrics. I think they knew they had influence over young minds, and took responsibility in their song writing. This song is amazing.

@@nickbarber3315 I dont agree with that. Have you never seen a military leader raise demoralized troops to achieve and win? Heck a football coach "win one for the gipper" of course it works on the unmotivated.
Okay for some reason This song reminds me of a song called Children Of The Sun by Billy Thorpe please and thank you also Barry Manilow could it be magic
I saw these guys in the summer of 1978 and they were the loudest concert I had ever been to. Eddie Money opened for them and they both were absolutely great.

"Ooh, I forgot to pause it." That's what happens when you feel the music and not just listen to it.
Exactly
I'm going to keep asking for Miss America by Styx

Yes, my favorite song from this album!
Keep at it!!
One of their best!
Yes, another great one... Since Jamal loved Come Sail Away so much, I too have been asking for Show Me the Way. :-)

Which is one reason it was their best album.
yup still got my orig vinyl from '77 in flawless condition. wow i was 24 then. where the hell did the time go ?
Dr. Frenier Mine is probably in a box in the basement somewhere, unfortunately not in great shape because I played the crap out of it. I was about 14.
You forgot to pause it, because you were lost in the sauce! Great song.
Tommy Shaw does this song with a youth orchestra and choir. It’s on TH-cam and is pretty cool. Talented young people!
I LOVE that version. Such talented kids, especially the 1st string violinist.
I have seen that!! So good!!
"What if" Tommy Shaw when he went solo. Just if you are curious.
I love that video!
Thanks Laurie for telling us about this. Had a tear in my eye the whole way through both songs. What a fantastic thing for Tommy Shaw to do and super job by the kids. Wow.
Since you're going down the Styx rabbit hole might I suggest THEE Styx anthem "Lady."
DDY's keyboard work is 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
Gowan is a decent keyboardist, but compared to "The Dr. " well.....there is no comparison really. Truly masterful.
Very Keith Emerson.
My 64 yr old mom heard me watchin this reaction, and just like the Def Leppard reaction, she said "hell yea man, crank that sh*t up!"
That's because your mom is cool.
💜👏💕😁
It’s her 🎶❤️
This was the music she listened to as a kid.
I appreciate what you do for music and for humanity, such a positive influence.
This song got me through some tough times back in the day.
Styx “I’m OK” please. Very motivating and has a great church organ breakdown.
Peices of Eight....one of my first 8tracks in 6th grade. Was reading LOFTR so naturally.....great album.
One of my favorite deep cuts
Styx kicked ass from day 1 and can still kick ass today. They never stopped. Not even when star Dennis DeYoung left. They added Larry Gowan and the steamroller crushed on.
Styx has a new album almost done. But they are waiting until it's ok to tour again to release it...
To me there not as good without Dennis DeYoung. Sorry!

Hey bro, I'm loving this styx journey you're on, you should definitely check out crystal ball, and suite madam blue..💪🤜🤛

Pink Floyd, Styx, Jethro Tull, Rush, The Who, and of course, The Alan Parsons Project.

@@mitchellbaxter6314 Yes😅 and KISS who failed, when they tried Concept albums.
I agree and I miss albums that have more than four chords in them
Came out the year I was born ‘77
You know it was good!!
Such a great song! My son's algebra 1 teacher played this for her students before state testing. It was really cool because I've been a Styx fan since my early teens. 😁
MAN IN THE WILDERNESS from this album is phenomenal
Absolutely! One of the best songs to hear what Tommy Shaw can do, both vocally and on the guitar. Would love to see a reaction for that song!
I love this tune. Tommy Shaw sang this tune to his dog in his home early in this Covid times. Viral on Facebook it was so good!
Sitting with headphones on listening to Styx. This was me in the 70s.
I used to see my moms friend's band play this in their studio, when I was 8. And i used to go nuts for the synthesizer. I love Styx.
Styx is amazing, check out "Crystal Ball" "SnowBlind"
Snowblind will freak him out, the big guy sings with such a deep voice
@@normawinton6832 the "big guy" is James "JY"Young Snowblind is probably my favorite Styx songs

He has also been doing some concerts with youth music students...
Gotta check that out!!!
Styx is my favorite band. As you can tell in my profile picture that is me and Tommy Shaw
That is so Cool!
And you share a name with one of the greatest singers ever who is from your favorite band. Kinda cool.
Oh damn. I was so I love with Tommy Shaw!!!!!
This is gonna be corny but you seem to be one of those people you are describing one needs around them. Truth.
Wow, so cool!! Lucky you
Love the Styx reactions. Keep em coming!
When you asked what is happening all I could think was greatness is happening!!! lol I love Styx so much.
"All these lasers and stuff going everywhere" is basically the best description of Styx I've ever heard!
Shaw, Young, and DeYoung probably the greatest vocalist trio of any group. And that intro is one of the best with that staccato keyboard flowing into the acoustic into the slow funk, then it ends on that hard edge. Great song, great band.
Got the stank face and the shoulders going! Love it!

Really, REALLY, hoping he does Castle Walls. The synth on that track is haunting.
Love that song!
Madame blue and Lorelei by Styx are really good too.
"Fooling Yourself" is the best track by Styx. Try "Sail Away" by Styx next. Cheers from the Past.
One of my favorite Styx songs is "Sing For The Day". I talks about how fleeting youth and fame are. This song is worth a philosophical discussion.
Heart, compassion, empathy - all the qualities that keep bringing people back to your channel day after day Jamel. Keep up the good work! ❤️

Check out Tommy Shaw doing this song with the contemporary youth orchestra.
That video is awesome!
Yes. Shows how timeless the song is.

Thank you for your hard work on these reactions.
Tommy Shaw Lived down the street when we were younger. One of our friends ran over his foot with his bike 😂 They were some Great Guys!
Great Band to see in concert. They sound just like their records. This is another really good 70s Styx song. Memories come rushing back when I hear these great old songs.
One of my all time favs and love playing this on my acoustic guitar 👍😄👍
From memory, Styx was almost album-quality when they performed live.

When my younger brother would act all stupid and rebellious, I would sing this song to him. "WHY MUST YOU BE SUCH ANGRY YOUNG MAN?" LOL
Another Styx song that has a similar theme is "I'm O.K."

@@nickbarber3315 I dont agree with that. Have you never seen a military leader raise demoralized troops to achieve and win? Heck a football coach "win one for the gipper" of course it works on the unmotivated.
@@baronofgreymatter14 sorry but science says you’re wrong.
Okay for some reason This song reminds me of a song called Children Of The Sun by Billy Thorpe please and thank you also Barry Manilow could it be magic
Billy Thorpe! Love that song. @JemelAKAJamel this could start a new kind of reactions. One hit Wonders.
Aldo Nova, Life is just a fantasy is another one hit wonder.
I saw these guys in the summer of 1978 and they were the loudest concert I had ever been to. Eddie Money opened for them and they both were absolutely great.
This is a great song. I sent it to my son when he was feeling down.
