Picture this: It's the 70's early 80's and you're at the local burger joint and they have a jukebox playing music in the background. It's your turn to make your order with the attendant and "The Best of Times" comes on and it's the first time you've heard this new song from Styx. You turn towards the jukebox and take a quick listen. You nod your head in approval and then go back to ordering your meal, taking for granted all the great music being produced at the time. Believe it or not this was how it used to be when music was churned out like it was our God given right to hear great music every day of every month of every year during those decades. What a great time to be alive.

@randytorres8211 Год назад

If it's a romantic Styx song, it was probably the work of Dennis DeYoung, who was with the band until 1999. Like "Babe" and "Lady," he wrote and sang "The Best of Times." "For me, the song is simple," he told Songwriter Universe. "It's when the world goes mad, how do you cope? And in this instance, it's the love between two people, that they make their own paradise within their companionship, their love for each other, and their own home... it's saying that the best of times are when I'm alone with you." Dennis DeYoung got the title from the 1859 Charles Dickens novel A Tale Of Two Cities, which opens with the famous passage: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." This was the first single from the Paradise Theatre album, which had a loose concept centered around the rise and fall of a theater in Chicago, where the band is from. In that context, the song recalls the glory days of the Paradise Theatre; the word "paradise" shows up three times in the lyric, and can allude to either the building or the state of mind: Rumor has it it's the end of Paradise ... I wish the summer winds could bring back Paradise ... But tonight will always last As long as we keep alive memories of Paradise (Songfacts.com)

@bsanderfer Год назад

If they do "Suite Madame Blue," I hope they do one of the live versions. Dennis holds a note for such a long time when he does live versions of that song, it's astounding to me. Every time I hear it, I'm surprised by how long he can hold it in the middle of the song. Anyone who is curious about this, definitely check out a live version of the song to see what I'm talking about. And I've seen Dennis four times live (1991, 1997, 1998 and 2009 (solo)), and it's always the greatest moment in any concert.

The whole Paradise Theater Album was indescribable. In my young mind it was incredible that every song on the album included the word Paradise in the lyrics somewhere. The album cover told the story of the Paradise Theatre from the grand opening on the front to is final destruction on the back and the story on the inside of the cover. The backside of the album has a beautiful 3-D ? Image of the Styx logo and the Paradise theater itself, you have to hold it just right but it is there. If you guys get the chance Listen to the whole album from start to finish,you won't regret it I promise. Also if you get the chance I believe you would really enjoy The Eagles Lying Eyes , The lyrics are so sad but the music is incredible.

@bethtanner4481 Год назад

I loved that album as a concept so much.

@jims3251 5 месяцев назад

The only exceptions to the inclusion of "paradise" in the lyrics (not counting the short instrumental 'State Street Sadie,' of course) are 'She Cares,' and 'Half Penny, Two Penny,' probably because they were written by Shaw and Young, respectively, and kinda stood a bit outside the overall concept of the album. But yes, all of the songs penned by DeYoung, plus 'Snowblind,' penned by Young, include "paradise" in the lyrics, a fact I too have enjoyed. And no, it just so happens that I'm NOT especially fun at parties; why do people keep asking me that?

He's a songwriter aswell, penning most of (if not all) his hits, as well as writing songs for others, like "Stupid Cupid" by Connie Francis. Neil's hits include... "Oh Carol" "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" "Solitaire" "Laughter In The Rain" "Calendar Girl" "Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen". Here's hoping you get to him soon. ❤ 🎵🎼🎙

@joelhammond4162 Год назад

I recently posted this explanation of the difference between a talk box and a vocoder on another reaction, hope it helps: The Talk Box has a metal coil that vibrates when you play the guitar, those sound vibrations travel up and out of the tube. The tube is inserted just far enough into the mouth cavity for the changing shape of your mouth to modify/alter the sound of the guitar. That sound then has no place to go but back out of the mouth and into the microphone which gets amplified just like when his voice when he is singing. You don’t make any noise, just manipulate the guitar sound with the shape of your mouth. In certain cases, like “Do you feel, like we do” the effect is used to manipulate the guitar sound into words by mouthing the intended words to make the guitar seem to be “talking.” Often confused with the vocoder which came slightly later with the advent of the synthesizer and typically used in conjunction with keyboard. In that case the person would sing or say words into the mic/vocoder input and then manipulate the sound of that voice and words electronically with the keyboard synth. This more clearly sounds like the words that were just spoken or sung but then modulated or synthesized and typically made to sound robotic or very futuristic techno, like in this song.

Guys, you really can't have a discussion about rock pianists without spending significant time on Keith Emerson of Emerson, Lake & Palmer (ELP). He doesn't do the singing (bassist Greg Lake takes those duties) but he's at the very heart of what this band is so, if you're feeling a little more adventurous, give the title track from their album Trilogy a listen. It starts off absolutely gorgeous with not much more than piano and vocals before taking off into a raucously rockin' tour de force. Have you listened to any Ray Charles yet? He's the epitome of a double threat pianist/vocalist. It's hard to pick one track out of his extensive library but one of my personal faves is his rendition of Oh, What a Beautiful Morning. He takes that song to an entirely new level! And of course, there's always Barry Manilow, who only wrote and performed some of the most beautiful, piano-based ballads of the 70s.

I love “Babe” but , I have to admit this is my favorite Styx song.

Thank you for your reaction. Can't wait for more Styx reactions.

There is one group you cannot leave out of the 7O's era. That is the Osmond Brothers and Donny Osmond and Marie Osmond. They were as big as any group at that time.

This came out when I was in ninth grade. Pretty much part of the soundtrack of my HS days.

For piano and singing, you should NEVER leave Freddie Mercury off of any list.

@mr.spongylikeaboss4987 Год назад

Meh.. not that good.

@ronnix23 Год назад

I would put Bruce Hornsby in the same category as those other piano players. And going to the way back machine, you have to include Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis and Ray Charles.

@jamesmorrison7692 Год назад

Great song. I love how Amber can always break down the lyrics on so many songs, including this one. I am so glad you all are enjoying Styx, they were an amazing band, and my favorite concert I ever saw was Styx. Thank you guys!!

Been a SYX fan since the early 80s, just love their music, even the songs/albums that are lesser known.

Dennis does have a very clear singing voice. He has a very distinctive, excellent tone to his voice.

For great pianists, I was surprised Freddie Mercury didn't immediately come to mind. :-)

I have the album, Paradise Theatre, which has this gorgeous song. What makes the album interesting is that it is not in black vinyl, but more of a pearl finish and when it is tilted, shows the theatre! Great reaction video🥰🥰🥰

@stellamorgan482 Год назад

I saw Styx 4 times live in the 80's & they never disappointed! I recommend "Suite Madam Blue" which was written in 1976 about America. "Crystal Ball" is one of my favorites. Also "Fooling Yourself" & "Grand Illusion"....so many great Styx songs! Keep them coming!

@shirleyjones9460 Год назад

I absolutely love Styx and this is definitely a favorite. 💗

@canonfodder2068 Год назад

Paradise Theater album art is gorgeous! The record itself was beautiful with a matching central label and hologram effects pressed in the vinyl itself.

@josephmanno4514 Год назад

You're so soft-hearted, Amber. One of the things I like about you. Some of those lyrics hit you in the feels.

@jeffphillips9588 Год назад

Blue Collar Man- Styx. J/A, this is another banger And Tommy Shaw delivers in this masterpiece! Love to see you react to this one.

The real power of this song is the lyrics.

The original vinyl physical album had a hologram on it. I’ll never forget watching it spin and reading the lyrics on the liner notes.

March 20, 1981, Rosemont Horizon, Chicago Ill. First concert I ever attended was the Paradise Theater Tour at the end of my training at Great Lakes Naval Station. Nice to see you guys doing this one.
