We have already gotten our tickets and are looking SOOO VERY FORWARD to seeing Styx the concert!!! I have seen them already 8-9 times, but Foreigner only twice. I did not see The Babys. Because of a spinal surgery in April, I'll be in a back brace, but would NEVER, EVER miss a chance to see my favorite band live!!! My husband and I cannot wait to see this lineup in person. This should be one of the best lineup I've seen in over 30 years(at least). Thanks to everyone who put these bands together for this epic concert.
Foreigner is the headliner, which works out perfect. You get to see the entire Styx set, and then you can watch two thirds of Foreigners set. Perfect time to leave and beat the traffic.
No bout a doubt it my friend great minds think alike. As much as I dig Foreigner I did exactly just that & headed out to the highway not even half way through the so-called band "Foreigner" set. Don't get it twisted the band & definitely Kelly's voice sounded excellent. But, it's hard for me to take any group of musicians serious no matter how good they are when they're nothing more than a glorified tribute band. IDK how they can stand on stage every night make-believing they're someone they're not. Just saying... 🤔 ++Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friend++ 🤘😜🤘
Me too. I saw Foreigner with Mick Jones a few years ago - which I recognize as Foreigner. But when Jones is not with them, I don’t recognize as Foreigner.
Poor Lou. He created and sang those songs with Mick- the soundtrack to our lives - and they act like he never existed. Highly disrespectful in my opinion.
@@jimfoster8554It's not just about Lou, these guys sound and look nothing like Foreigner, so how can they be Foreigner? I'd love to hear your explanation.
Have seen Foreigner and STyx many, many times before. With and Without Lou and Dennis. Foreigner is much better than last night's show. The drums were overpowering in their very low bass range. The sound guys also didn't get Kelly's vocals sounding as good as he has in the past. You could tell he was trying to compensate, but the sound wasn't great.
Foreigner is nothing more than tribute band living off the name Foreigner. Such a rip off. Mick Jones is nowhere to be found. Not one original member. They just completed their summer “Farewell” tour and here they are touring once more. Not once did they mention Lou or Mick. The sad thing is 95% of the concert audience doesn’t even knows this. It’s fraudulent!
Glad I'm seeing styx solo! Huge pass on this ! Foreigner is nothing except a tribute band ! With a singer copying the great Lou Gramm! Even Lou can't stand him! Save your money! Just greed from mick Jones!
Kelly Hansen just imitates Lou. He doesnt add anything to the group. Thats a hard pass for me. There is only lead singer in Foeigner and that was Lou Gramm.
Get real !! Kelly Hansen is NOT the original singer in Foreigner and I still remember the first replacement for Lou Gramm yep, Johnny Edwards who was picked over Hansen and Mark Free in 1990. Yep, Hansen tried out for Foreigner TWICE. Also, Tommy Shaw is NOT an original member of Styx he succeeded John Curelewski (RIP) This smells completely of tribute bands. 😮😮😮😮😮😮
Thats like saying the Chili Peppers arent the Chili Peppers because they dont have their original guitarist or Rush is a tribute band? Neil was their second drummer. Almost impossible for the same group to be playing together 30 years later. Now I'll admit no original members is one thing but Tommy has been with Styx since at least Grand Illusion if not Crystal Ball.
@ChrisHaaker Tommy is still not an original member. The first 5 STYX albums had John Curelewski and Styx' final A&M album had Glenn Burtnik while Tommy was a Damn Yankee . So don't fret over it. Life is good. Without Deyoung, Styx is a tribute band 2.0.
@ChrisHaaker Like it or lump it Chris, uh, STYX II, which contained LADY which became a NATIONAL HIT before Tommy Shaw, was released in 1973, and Styx left WOODENICKEL in 1974 to A&M and LADY charted at #6 on Billboard in March 1975. I was around at the time, and me plus some( real close) school friends were huge Styx fans. Thus, by the time Pieces of Eight came out despite Tommy Shaw being a new member on the Crystal Ball album, we placed an order for all the WOODENIKEL albums and hey the record store in Regency Mall sent them to us. So I wouldn't say in 1978 that the first 5 albums weren't relevant . They made more people interested in ALL of their music. I'm just saying you really shouldn't misjudge Styx fans.
