Dennis DeYoung has a message for everyone

OK, now this dude is 73 years old. Singing in his living room with a piano, no autotune, no mixing boards. Just him and his piano. Pretty impressive.

I saw him play live about 5 years ago at a July 4 festival. His voice was spot on with his recordings.

This thread needs mav.

That was better than expected.

 

[Kooky Kats]

Dude makes a helluva bowl of rice.

 

[cole854]

Awesome.

Never cared for Mr. Roboto and the theatrics. But not gonna hate on a goodwill message from the guy. Nice.

He went through a very weird period. Tommy Shaw was frustrated.

Tastes vary, I suppose. His voice makes me cringe. Always has. Would rather just listen to him play the piano, which is quite good. Beautiful arrangement. Seems as if it could support an almost entirely different song (singing) melody, and should.

Desert Moon is a pleasant and innocuous '80s pop song

 

[oldsports_]

Incredible

 

[HagginHall1999]

He looks like an old woman but sings like a champ.

 

[electricdreammachine]

Great Styx song but the best part is the JY guitar solo

 

[Ron Mehico]

He literally looks like my wife’s grandmother

 

[CatGotMyTongue]

always thought he ruined Styx.

Madame Blue would have been better.

always just assumed the weird period version was the "real" him, and the previous version was him acting/doing as he was told for commercial reasons.....

Makes me think of the old VH1 Behind the Music series. Every episode dealing with any old rock/pop band was the same: lead singer is delusional and has a monstrous ego, alienates rest of band, they get back together. Same next week.

Not my cup of tea, but would be received well at karaoke. Then again karaoke and bars may be a thing of the past.

 

[Kooky Kats]

Styx blow.

 

[Brandan Stroud]

More like Dennis DeOld!!! Lol

 

[CatGotMyTongue]

Styx blow.

Yep. When as many women want to go in droves as men to a concert—that artist usually sucks.

Blue Collar Man was great w Shaw on lead vocals. DeYoung ruined it by being an operatic queef ball.
