A huge big hello from Ireland. I thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed your journey with the guys from the Styx team. I thought your pick giveaway was awesome, and it tickled me, because back in March of 1982 the band I was in at the time, were on tour in the states. One particular day, myself, our drummer, and guitar player took a stroll downtown. We turned a corner and seen a huge billboard. "City Center Theatre, STYX" So what else were men to do but head straight to the Box Office and purchase three tickets for the show that night. You couldn't ask for better, we got tickets for the very front row!! It was the "Kilroy was here tour" I have to say I was absolutely blown away by the show. But getting back to your giveaway, it struck a chord with me, because the night of the show, I managed to get one of JY's picks, a cool red one. At the end of the gig, I got to shake hands with all except Chuck, which broke my heart as being a bass player, I wanted to especially shake HIS hand. I managed to keep JY's pick safely for about thirty five years, but in or around 2019, I went to dig it out to reminisce, something I had done over the years, but could not find it. To say I was devastated would be putting it mildly!! I just had to share that little memory with you 😊 All the guys you spoke with were so lovely, and it was very sweet that they took so much time to chat with you. Truly legends I have to say. When I post this message, I'll discover a load of misspellings, as it's almost 4:30am here, and I'm cross-eyed with tiredness, as I'm just home from gigging. Now I watched your videos earlier today (Or should I say yesterday, but you know yourself, it's still today until I go to bed 😂) Sending you my very best wishes, and blessings from Ireland...... Sean. ☘🤘☘

@@RecordingStudioLoserHi!! I’m a huge fan of the channel. I’m 12 years old and I love the band Styx. This tour is so cool. I’ve rewatched this and the other Styx videos like 3 times 😂!!! If you ever get backstage with Styx or another band again, make sure to see if I could go in a contest to get something. I’m starting a guitar pick collection…

Man, The reason I play guitar is Tommy Shaw. He walked out playing Rockin' The Paradise and my life changed forever. I think I have played everyday since that day in Greensboro in 1980-81. My lifelong dream is to one day meet TS and tell him how much he improved the quality of life through music.

So many moving parts that you don't see on the stage, or think about. Really gives you a new appreciation for live music.

It was the best show I'd seen in years.

It was very interesting to me being a muscian myself how bands are getting away from stage sound & sending a direct signal to the front of the house. I would love to have those guitar pics your giving away Tommy Shaw & JY. These two are my favorite & looking forward to more content.

No show on the planet compares to theirs and thank you for giving us an inside look into the people and equipment that makes those shows possible, you've gained a new fan!

Styx was my first concert in 1981 (Salt Lake City) and Tommy was playing his Explorer and I have been an Explorer fan since and finally got a lefty one in 2017. When Tommy brought out the Explorer in Dubuque I gasped so loud he heard me and I let him know I have one because of him. During the next song and since I was in the second row he looked at me and tossed me a pick...my life is complete now.

The average concert goer has no clue all the work that goes into making a single show happen. This work begins months in advance of the actual tour. I have worked in the production side for over 30 years and every artist and rig is different. Sometimes the artist really doesn’t know how his own rig works but there is always someone who knows it inside and out, these people truly make the show happen day after day. Send me the picks…love the video.

Awesome video and cool to see the rig! This really hits home for me because I was Styx' social media manager for 2 years (Oct 2016 - Oct 2018). I worked a lot with Todd, who was always very gracious to do fan Q/A videos for me. It was a blast posting to 1.7M followers on Facebook and coming up with fun things to engage the band and fans in together. As a pro keyboard player, it was also awesome hanging with Lawrence on a couple of occasions and talking keyboard tech... he's an extremely generous, real, brilliant gentleman. I got excited when they talked about Todd remoting in on Crash of the Crown during Covid, which he also did on The Mission well before Covid. I have some original cell phone video footage of Mission recordings in Nashville on March 24, 2016, where Todd was remote recording on "The Outpost" and "Greater Good." Tommy, his wife, Will and the other crew were watching as Todd (in TX) recorded in real-time over the other tracks. I have a fun memory from back in June, 2017, where Styx and REO played at what was then called Verizon Amphitheater in Alpharetta, GA. I somehow found myself at a table in the green room with Ricky to my right, Mike Mettler (music journalist and long-time friend of the band) to my left, and Dave Amato (REO guitarist) to Ricky's right. Since Ricky was in The Babys in the early 80's, I broke the ice by pulling out my iPhone, cueing up a piano in Garage Band and playing the intro to "Isn't It Time," the Babys' 1977 hit that I absolutely loved as a kid. Ricky and Dave both found it quite amusing that I could play that on such a tiny keyboard. It was kinda cool connecting with 2 legends of rock for a tiny moment in time. Speaking of that, Styx is timeless! The Mission is without a doubt one of the best albums from any classic rock band, IMHO. Keep up the great videos!!!!

I've been a Styx fan since 1977. I've seen them 12 or 15 times starting in 78. I saw the Kilroy show before things happened. In '96 I saw them with Todd for the first time. It's hard to believe that the new drummer has been with them all these years. I was a soundman for a local band in the late 70's for a few years and one of the things I always admired about Styx was a clean stage. Back then the stage monitors were under the floor and they always hid the guitar amps on stage. I made that a priority in our stage setups. They were one of the first bands with wireless guitar rigs and even back then I think the techs did the effect switching. They used to have spotlight operators positioned on the corners of the overhead rigging and they would know all of the song to properly light and follow the action. Back in those days Tommy, and JY would run back and forth on the stage while playing. It was very impressive. They move less today but I see Tommy's desire to run during many of his more recent performances. JY has always been my favorite member because of his confidence on stage so many years ago. Once he appears, he shines with confidence and his smile shows how much he enjoys being there. One of the things that I liked as a soundman working with that small band back in the day was the fact that they were also pros when it came to performing. Never mind what they did earlier that day, or even five minutes before showtime, when they hit the first note they nailed it. The only thing that mattered, like Tommy said, somebody might be hearing it for the first time live and you owe it to them to deliver. Since I worked with a band like that, I knew it was another reason why I liked the Styx approach to live performances. I spread the Styx story to any young person willing to listen because there are many lessons to be learned from a band, a family, a crew, and even the fans that have been in my Styx experience. The songs are great with such depth and meaning and the performances are top notch every time I see them.

I'm a fan of the band for so long that I listened to them with Curolewski. But I learned more about music (and what it takes to make it) from watching this video than I have in my 52 years. Anyway, hell yes, I want a pick, preferably Tommy's. His songs got me through some tough teen years and all I hope is to someday return the favor with at least the opportunity to tell him thank you.

I love STYX but there may be some else who really wants the picks more than I do I play their music so that works for me. Really great walk through. Loved the G1, G2 and G3 connectors. didn't even know they made them, but it seems way easier to makeup. Also, I have DaVinci already but the trial probably an older version, what would you recommend for a video editor I can collaborate with my band members using their iPhones and pulling everyone into a divided single screen. We have been recording remotely and I want to collage them all on one screen and sync them of us playing. I subscribed as well thank you for all the hard work getting this out to everyone and sharing it.

Used to see these guys show up at DJ’s Rock and Roll music store in Cicero IL. They would close the store and shop around. I was also told JY was taught guitar there. I remember Pops (the owner) and John the salesman. Such great guys. The Styx band was cool too. It was exciting times as a young musician. I’m glad they are still rocking. Put me down if you still are giving the guitar picks. I’d totally appreciate them!!!
