Dennis DeYoung (Formerly of Styx) Talks About the Making of "With All Due Respect" Music Video

[@kenstout]

Dennis, I woke up from the Grand Illusion in the late 70's from your Grand Illusion Styx Album and have been loving you since. Thanks so much for waking me up from that Matrix. I am so glad that you are still in the fight in waking all of us up.

[@robertwade8529]

Excellent Dennis. Thanks for mentioning me. Your debt is marked PAID.

[@TxGuitarPlayer]

You are spot on. Love it. I've seen Styx in concert many times over the years since High School 76' on. But haven't gone to a Styx show absent Dennis DeYoung. NO Styx without Dennis. My buddy Jimmy and I played in a garage band in HS and tried a few of our favorite band Styx numbers. The hardest, well impossible task was covering your vocals. Thank you for the awesome memories. My wife Pam and I still listen to so many of those songs that you sang and it takes us back . Almost Magical. Enough of sentimental side. God Bless you sir.

[@doncarlton4858]

It rocks! You rock! We're programmed! It's all a ....Grand Illusion! You were as ahead of your times on that song as well as you were on Kilroy Was Here! Thanks for always singing to us, the regular stiffs! You're so right! "If it bleeds, it leads!". We need statesmen and journalists now...But your songs will fill in till we do!

[@googleuser3219]

Still my favorite crush..40 years later 😊 I love With all due Respect..you nailed that song..keep rocking Dennis 🤘😊❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@lingoss5328]

Oh Dennis, this is awesome on so many levels!!!! Thank you for taking the time to explain the behind-the-scenes of this video. Not only is it very interesting, but I love all the symbolism. It is amazing that you all pulled this together virtually!!!! Kudos to the tech experts that worked with you. Jim was right, the world needs you, and he told you that before the pandemic! Once again, your viewpoint is SPOT ON! Keep doing what you are doing!!!!!!!

Dennis, More quarantine songs please!! It's the therapy we all need!!

[@mrbaseballpb]

Outstanding! Thank you for sharing your behind the scenes and view. Honestly politicians, media, all have their own agenda's instead of making our Country the best and looking out for, "We The People!"

[@ABBY-ml2rq]

ITS ABOUT TIME SOMEONE SAID IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@vernondoane4865]

You are expressing the views of the silent majority! Your energy is extraordinary.

[@OGDrunkenSage]

Dennis, thanks for an album when I really needed some great music. Keep rocking brother...

[@krunkmountainman6633]

Love the new album. With all due respect is my go to song now when someone ticks me off. Thank you for making an incredible album.

[@jivefx]

Excellent breakdown of the video. Me and my wife love this album so much. We listen to it literally daily. We love your work. You’re a genius. Thank you for being an excellent musician and for singing the truth. You’re message is incredibly accurate.

[@jimnickel6986]

THANK YOU so much for making this video. I might be one of the few people in Milwaukee who regularly listened to Steve Cochran and I really enjoyed when he'd call you on the phone and youze two were chatting like old friends. I've seen you a few times at Summerfest here in Milwaukee. I hope you come back soon!

[@cynthiazuber]

Those are some wild lyrics!! Great video and concept too! BTW: I like your dancing, Dennis! You rock and you roll!!!!!!!

[@soundvideomichael6022]

Love the video big fan you got a beautiful family keep it going I hate the division of this wonderful country we live in keep it going it's very inspirational

[@jmsstyxnyes]

I love listening to you. :) This is so much fun. I love the song too. Too true for today.

[@daftroboto8785]

Thank you for sharing Dennis! It was fun hearing about how it all came together and who all was in it! The message of the song is spot on. #defundthemedia

[@l.t.w8985]

Watching you how can we not smile? I'm always smiling watching you. You brighten up our lives and you are so funny and we all love you music. Thank you and to Jim peterik for that fabulous album. Just great. As Wet Willie said in that song keep on smiling.

[@rickmitchell4854]

THANKYOU for doing this explanatory video...extremely entertaining. I was born in Kenosha Wisconsin...rumor has it you played there at the Eagles hall in the early 70's. Rock on Dennis

[@anthonydones5819]

Mr Young you’re the best.. my wife and I love you dearly. You’re still the very best showman ever

[@Balin93]

Great video, Dennis, and a great message. THANK YOU.

[@YAMISOOLD2009]

I enjoyed this immensely Dennis!

[@waynewaring]

You certainly made me smile Dennis. Really enjoyed that. Keep in rockin'.

[@kiddo114]

Love your honesty when you post a video or post on Facebook . Can’t wait till you’re back out on the road. Till then keep on Rocking and making us laugh.

[@tysales]

Completely agree we don’t hate each other. We need to work together!

[@GilbertsGrapes]

So much fun! What an incredible insight to a wonderful song! Great work to all that was involved! Great to see Matt, Rob, and Dave as well lol I miss you guys Logan 😁

[@HoneyBeeMade]

Thank you Dennise! I appreciate you and your music!

[@robertromani]

You're crazy...😀 Love it. You have a good point.

[@juliehudson6539]

Good to see you Dennis!! Great song

[@alexkellerman2665]

Thank you for your positive outlook on things Dennis. This song really does relate to everything that is going on right now. I like that you want us to make our own opinion and not have so much focus on the news. You are one of a kind and I can not wait to hear more wonderful music from you. Thank you again and I hope to hear more from you soon(:

[@Lukather5150]

Very insightful and fun. Thanks DDY!

[@joelv.5282]

Dennis I knew we ( by my recognition) are very similar... but I learned from this video , that we both are fans of Chicken lil "the sky is falling" ... once again olde boy congrats to you and the band mates on a killer song and video. Chemistry is a grand gift. South side of #chitown

You are entertaining everywhere you are! Pls do this with all of Styx’s videos’n

[@maryludemann5768]

Excellent! Thank you for this. I enjoy this song and your story about it was fun to hear.

[@Violets4me]

I SO admire you, Dennis! Thanks from the bottom of my heart for ALL your music over the years and for keeping the faith & being SO positive! You are an amazing human being & I love 💘 you!

[@thomasb.passante2968]

DDY, I love this album!!! You are the “Captain.” So, if Styx was a boat, it is missing its captain. It just proves a T-Shirt that I gave you two years ago. “On board I’m the captain... of the unfinished song...” If you kept T-Shirt, could you wear it on an upcoming KZbin broadcast!

[@tims.4501]

He is awesome!!! Fantastic album!!!

[@ronaldsorenson3999]

That wall behind Dennis is massively impressive! The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are idiots for not inducting Styx.

[@allanb.2925]

I do love your new album in its entirety Dennis!

[@mlaity1]

Thanks for making this video Dennis. I look forward to whatever video you put out next. In the meantime, is there any chance we ever get a Blu-Ray release of Return to Paradise? I have the VHS, DVD, and a CD signed by yourself and the rest of the band but what I really need to make my life complete is a High Definition release of that performance. What do us fans need to do to make that happen?

[@RyuHayabusa06]

Great song! Dennis, long time fan. First discovered you back in 84 as a child hearing Desert Moon on the radio in the car with my grandfather. Love that song so much and still listen to it often even after all these years. Hope you read this and know that your voice has touched my life and the lives of so many!

[@jeffreysawatzky]

lol...I just love your youtube posts.

[@eldkir]

I love this stuff! Great song, great video and a great explanation! Happy for you and the new album!

[@dawnpowers7626]

This was a lot of fun to watch. I was wondering who all the people were. Lots of radio people, lots of friends and family. Wouldn't have it any other way. If all goes well, I'll be seeing you in Medford, MA in November. Looking forward to it so much!!!

You sure make us smile--genuinely 🙂 We listened to your music today on a sweet country drive, and your music and the natural beauty really enhance each other! Brandon totally called it that it's your voice at the beginning 🙂 Love Jim's riff and guitar! We didn't even realize Jimmy was reversed, haha! The wood background is really cool! Love all the people involved in the video! Awesome that the guitar players were so coordinated! And we so much appreciate your father's sacrifice and the sacrifice of our loved ones who have served our country! Dang right the media and elites are trying to divide us which is sad--and it's even more sad that it's working 😕

[@ImTheDaveman]

Yessir - I love the hell outta that song and the video! Yeah I hate fake news. I would rather the media report the "facts" without the attribution of opinion, and let us decide based on facts, whats what. And then again - many of these news outlets can manipulate facts by pure omission of key facts. And thats been done as far back as I can remember. Its just no one called them out on it until the last few years. But yeah - this song hits it hard and fast and nad-knees the perps! LoL. Thanks for the backstory on the making of the song and video!

Hi Dennis! I'm good, how are you? :D Thanks for this!

[@angelinamiari1613]

It's so great to see how all this came together...and you're STILL the pride of Chicago, my dear Dennis! People need to turn off the "news" and read actual real life books...not the BS rewritten history that's online. We need to come together and fight FOR our country instead of against each other! You'll always be my hero, Dennis! Love you & Suzanne to pieces! Prayers for Suzanne on her back surgery & for a speedy recovery. 🙏🏻 That's a bitch of a surgery & I hope she's doing well. The woman looks younger than me & I'm 56! ❤ I want to know her secret! Love & blessings!

This was fun to watch. Thanks for sharing. It was really interesting and I loved the subtleties. ( Did I spell that right?)

[@nigelderbyshire9220]

Wonderful & informative as always Dennis. Love it! One question, did you consider asking August or Jimmy to co-write/ help with guitar riffs or do they write any on your forthcoming volume 2?

[@morecomfterblur1390]

Hey Dennis this just occurred to me today and I wanted to ask you about a song Styx recorded about 50 years ago. It's not listed on the album but it starts at the end of Krakatoa. Don't sit down on the plexiglass toilet? Can you please tell me the background on how this song came to be. I've wondered about this for years. I've hated this song and I've loved it. No other Styx song has filled me with such ambiguity. Thanks. Your biggest fan, Robert Marti.

[@jamesmoritz3584]

Dennis is the most amazing entertaining artist in my opinion

[@hutch1197]

Amen! I have friends of very different political views, and we all love and respect each other. On a personal level, everybody gets along much better than the media portrays. They make money dividing us, telling us it's the left's fault, or the right's fault, etc. We all have way more in common than we are led to believe. (And if you respond to this blaming one side or the other, you're part of the problem, not the solution....)
