That's Tommy Shaw on lead vocals and he's singing harmony with the other two singers of the group Dennis DeYoung and guitarist JY Young. Styx started as a Prog Rock and even hard rock be became sort of an Art Rock/Pop band by the early 80's. They have some great songs from their peak era like "Lady", "Come Sail Away", "Babe", "The Best of Times", "Too Much Time on My Hands", , "Don't Let It End", and "Show Me the Way". Other notable songs include , "The Grand Illusion", "Blue Collar Man", "Crystal Ball", "Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)", "Rockin' the Paradise", "Boat on the River", and "Suite Madame Blue"
thegorn68 ...and "Queen of Spades", "Castle Walls" and "Miss America".
Styx is full of hits. A great library of rock that was super popular back in the day. I saw them during their Paradise Theater tour and it became my favorite concert ever.
Tada! For some reason, when I first read your comment, I thought it said "Styx is full of shit".😂 I was ready to tear you a new one, until I read it again.🤣
That voice is Tommy Shaw!!! Over the years, I've seen Styx 37 times. I was so addicted they held an intervention...
I probably played this 15 or 20 times consecutively the first time I heard it, and that was back when you had to rewind the tape to do it. I was totally sold on Styx after that... at least until their Mr. Roboto days.
(Edit: "On the lam" is slang for "on the run"... comes from the word lamster a synonym for fugitive.)
Daniel, Renegade was written by Styx guitarist Tommy Shaw and he also is the vocalist here but he lets guitarist James Young do the solo. Renegade is played near the start of the 4th quarter of every Pittsburgh Steelers' home game at Heinz Field, so besides being a classic Styx song, it's well known nationally among football fans. You can imagine it's impact in the stadium cranked up to 11 (Spinal Tap reference) with 68,000 screaming, Terrible Towel waving fans. Some opposing football players know it as that hangman song. It's usually played as the encore and final song at Styx concerts. Styx The Grand Illusion(1977) is arguably their best album with THE GRAND ILLUSION, FOOLING YOURSELF, COME SAIL AWAY, CASTLE WALLS and MISS AMERICA are among their more popular songs.
Oh yeah Go Steelers!
IF you're going to Styx and Kansas, you may as well listen to some Boston.
Similar song that pre-dates this: Wings "Band on the Run".
"come sail away "by Styx was my class song in1978, and I have seen others use it for their class song to this day. Their hits are numerous, you will really enjoy them !!!👵❤✌
Finally, STYX!! And so much more to explore. Fantastic reaction! 👋
Dennis De Young was the leader of the band and sang lead on most of their well known songs. This was one though was Tommy Shaw on lead vocals, Dennis on backing vocals, James Young (JY) on lead guitar, Dennis on keyboards.
"Crystal ball" is one of my favorite songs by STYX, I am going to use it in my time travel story when the main character is preparing to contact time travelers in the future by doing "an experiment in the 4th dimension". It's based on an idea I had in high school back in the early 80's. Also, you mentioned in another video (think it might have been "in the year 2525" one, about someday someone might open a portal and some beast comes out that we know nothing about. That's exactly what happens in my story! And my story is about humanity in the next 1100 years.
Love this song. Styx was my first rock band.
How about Doobie Brothers "Black Water"?
My friend, I've no doubt you'll reach 10K subs in no time. I really appreciate your breakdown of music and lyrics. Also, I can feel your enthusiasm for music in general, and it's very cool to see a young person appreciating music from decades earlier. Excellent job as always.
All these years later and Tommy Shaw can still shred and sing as good as ever!
i've been watching a lot of your videos for the past week or so. there is a simple reason why i keep watching, which i will get to shortly, but lets start with the fact that you are choosing the best of the best of rock music from the best years of rock, late 1960's into the 1970's through the 80's (and into the 90's ). this is the music i grew up with and it is, as you are fond of saying, "awesome music ! " so, now we can get to why i keep watching, and it is you. you have a way of expressing yourself when you are listening, and hearing something that you like that is almost intoxicating. a smile comes to your face, you furrow your brow, you exclaim "YES !", your smile turns into a grin .... it is the look of joy and wonder that comes across your face that tells me, "wow, i love this song", and I can see and feel it is for the same reason i love this music. as for Styx, they have a lot of great music and their work evolves from one album to the next. try "too much time on my hands", but don't watch the official 1970's video, it is kinda cheesy.
Oh have you checked out BOSTON yet. Talk about dynamics...I would respectfully advise a little research on them first BCUZ they ARE awesome. Just give them a try. No Dissappoitment. I promise.
Just a little interesting trivia for this song: In the early years of the show Supernatural, Eric Kripke (creator/first director of Supernatural and now director/producer for The Boys) refused to use canned music for his show, so he used a lot of the very songs he grew up with and to this day his use of this song in one of the episodes is recognized as one of the best uses of a soundtrack on a television show.
If you don't watch Supernatural, some background for the episode... the brothers who hunt monsters were hunting a shifter who was trying to rob a bank and killing people and taking their shapes to do it. The bros of course killed it but they were wanted by the feds for some of the questionable things they'd done in the past in their efforts to save innocents. So they had to find a way to get out of the building w/out getting caught.
Here's a clip of the scene that the song was used in.
czcams.com/video/ZXpV19PSjV0/video.html
Thank you son. The fact that you understand dynamics and appreciate how much they add to a piece got you a sub.
It's the Pittsburgh Steelers theme song. They play it every home game. ❤🎶🎵🎼
"Aww, it's over." Best single reaction comment ever, especially given the song. You echo the sentiment of a great many of us each time we hear it.
First rock song that blew me away at the age of 12. A friend with a boombox, in school, during lunch got me hooked. Great song.
I love, loved, LOVED to see your eyes pop open wide on that initial drop!!
Exactly what I felt when I first heard this song so long ago..
"on the lam" is term for running from the law.....another great reaction!..🙂💥👌
Daniel’s facial expressions on this song are priceless. LOL! I enjoyed this reaction. 👏👏
This is a masterpiece. We were all waiting to see your face when they kick it up...you said 'Turn it up!'...perfect
Gospel/hymn-like vocals on the intro, rock drums and guitar, prog keyboards, and funky bass to give it that bounce. Creatively and sonically,when Styx fires on all cylinders they're tough to beat.
I always think of the old cowboy movies when I hear this.
Arguably one of the greatest musical cues on television. Supernatural’s “Nightshifter”
Oh, I was waiting for your facial expression! *You never disappoint* 👀
Then, Daniel says, "Turn it up - Let's go!"
Woo Hoo! 😁
I was actually a little embarrassed to admit I liked Styx back in the day!
A few years ago... an old friend (From elementary thru High School 'til now) and I went to see Tesla, Skid Row and Styx LIVE at Jones Beach! It was incredible!
Brought back the *best* memories! #MusicMemories

💜💫✌🏼🎵
In 2006, Styx did a show with Cleveland’s Contemporary Youth Orchestra and Choir that eventually went to DVD. I think that you would get a kick out of the performances. Here’s Renegade from that show:
czcams.com/video/HquvpZ1xRik/video.html
What a banger! Glad you chose this song!
What à great rock song nice album too my uncle and aunt made me listening To the group their favorite with supertramp in the 70s and équinoxe, great illusions albums who are great too...
Just listen to all of "The Grand Illusion" and "Pieces Of Eight"
Have you ever seen their live show where they do both of those albums from start to finish? Even with the Dennis DeYoung replacement it’s still awesome!
@@doplinger1 No Styx is one of the bands I never got to see in concert.
@@michaelyork4554 - they show it on AXSTV every once in a while, its a channel on DirecTV, maybe on others too - keep an eye out for it.
@@michaelyork4554 Well they are still out there and they sounds just like this, Great.
lil tommy shaw,,,shared an elevator with him and my nephew,,just before the show,,freaking awesome,,i so wish you young ppl could go to shows,,now,,many were still performing pre covid,,and were still amazing
Great song
I knew this was going to be a fun one for you - which means additional fun for us!
Styx 'Renegade' and Phil Collins 'In The Air Tonight' will ALWAYS be the best reactions to watch.
"As loud as it'll go", I love it!
I bet you'd dig Boat on the River... it's a little known gem from their Cornerstone album.
Love love that song, want it played at my funeral.
CORRECT!! Daniel, you'd love it, as I have for decades. Simple, elegant, beautiful.
Renegade has been my top favorite from this band since I first heard it in the 6th grade (waaaay back in 1978). Another one that Tommy Shaw sings on is "Too Much Time On My Hands" (my 2nd favorite song from Styx). I've always preferred his voice over Dennis DeYoung's... A few other favorites are - Don't Let It End, Show Me The Way, Babe, Best of Times, & Lady. I saw them in concert once & they end every show with this song. The place was dead quiet during the Acapella part, but as soon as the beat dropped, the entire stadium full of people were on their feet & dancing, singing along, clapping, & stomping their feet during the chanting to the heavy drum beats. It was so loud that you could barely hear the band - LOL!
Tommy Shaw is one of those classic ‘throw back’ musicians that you
don’t see anymore. Multitalented is an understatement. The whole band
is tight. True ‘Arena Rock’ band here...like you said, they have a big sound. 🎵
I remember buying this album when it was released, sitting in my room listening to each song while reading the lyrics. Loved it then and really enjoyed your reaction! Looking forward to more reviews of yours as I'm a new subscriber. Cheers! P.S. "On the lamb" is a saying used back in the day that meant you were a fugitive from the law.
Prelude 12 leading into their GREATEST song Suite Madame Blue would be a GREAT listen, Blue Collar Man, Castle Walls, The Grand Illusion, Miss America, Queen of Spades, Man In The Wilderness, Lady ( first power ballad ever), Snowblind, Crystal Ball , Pieces of Eight, Borrowed Time, Fooling Yourself, Born For Adventure & Too Much Time On My Hands are all GREAT GREAT Styx songs. Their catalog is Epic. Thank you so much for playing, reviewing & appreciating this Styx classic.
Haha, fyi "on the lamb" is just an old-timey way of saying "on the run".
Thank you! The lyric site wrote it as "on the lam" without the B, and I just kinda assumed it was some kind of typo.
@@DiconDissectionalReactions it is "lam" not "lamb".
@@cpmf2112 Thank you:)
Watch the live version where Styx perform Pieces of Eight and Grand Illusion (their best LP) in their entirety. Their second drummer Todd Sucherman is a BEAST and their replacement singer/keyboardist Lawrence Gower is amazing. One of the few bands from the 70's that STILL are great in concert. Go see them when touring resumes!!
Tommy Shaw singing lead also plays lead and acoustic guitar and J ,Y. Young lead guitarist and background singer!
A quick note about “years on the LAM”. Being on the lam is an old school term for being on the run from the law.
Great reaction! You should check out “Too much time on my hands”. Tommy Shaw also sings lead. You’ll love that one too!
Just found your channel tonight and I really like your reactions and analysis. Subbed!
Saw these guys live last year (ah remember gigs? Sighhhh!) and Tommy Shaw's voice is in incredible shape after all these years. Styx, Toto, Boston, Journey and Foreigner all broke through in the late 70s (despite the prevailing taste at the time being for disco, disco and more disco) with rocking hits in this vein, and were all pretty much universally hated by the critics - but their stuff stands up pretty well, it has to be said. Of the bands I listed, by the way, Toto are (IMHO) the best, and also the most underrated (in the US at least, internationally it was a different story).
Okay, that intro was interesting...😂. Love your reactions; after binging for a while, I'm subscribing!
Styx were my favorite band as a young teenager in the early 1980s. The style varies depending on the particular composer/singer. This one feature Tommy Shaw (guitarist). For a different sound try Miss America.
As everyone else has said, It's Tommy Shaw. The composer, vocalist, and second guitarist in Styx. James JY Young is performing lead guitars on this one though.
Tommy has always been my favorite songwriter in Styx. He's very versatile, and usually straight forward in his lyric writing. By the way, that little "YEAH" is JY.
You can also try *"Crystal Ball"* from Shaw. And also take a listen to JY's *"Miss America."* It's very different from Tommy and Dennis DeYoung's songs...
*"Snowblind"* is a great tune from the band as well.
Tommy said he doesn't even know where the lyrics came from, because he's never been one to commit crimes...
Styx has a lot of great music but I never fully got into the band....funny you mention their name, in By-Tor and the Snow Dog by Rush The river Styx is mentioned, I'll leave it at that ; ) I really like the music in this tune, drew me in as a kid when I first heard it.
"Really love the singing...we're done." LMAO...knowing what's coming!! Great tune and reaction, glad you did this one first to get a taste of Styx, I'll be suggesting another great tune by Styx.
Album Pieces of Eight is largely because it's their eighth album. At this point in their live shows, this song would start their performances, in total darkness for the acapella solo intro.
Both of their 7th Grand Illusion and this album can be reacted to in pure album sequence. There is a live video where they do play all the songs from both albums in complete order. Every one of the songs could have been released as a single, many "double A" singles. And there is an interesting power ballad "Pieces of Eight" on this album, closing with a song that can help you come down from all the intense music from all these songs, Aku Aku.
Great track, because this track is called " Renegade" I always associated this track with the plight of the Native American Indian, in that the Indian was/is considered an " Outlaw" just because they are Indian, and back in the day they were Hung for literally nothing
The band is this tight in concert too. Try "Suite Madam Blue," "Crystal Ball" "Show Me the Way" and "Boat on a River." Watch "Caught In The Act Live."
Outstanding in concert
Beautiful intro Daniel!
Just going through STYX tonight, no particular reason, and realized in quite a condensed time you are all at the same time a student, actor, musician, and CZcamsr. And from the tidbits you share, successful in all arenas. Actually glad you've slowed down from the breakneck pace of uploads you exhibited during the time of this video. Stay well.
Love your intros
6:59- I just realized you haven’t paused....
Awesome song and reaction!
You got lucky for your first listen in picking this one as I think it is their best song. Also, this is my favorite reaction of yours so far because you FINALLY just let the song rip and enjoyed it for the music first like I, and probably the rest of us, did back in the day. For me, the music was most important and the lyrics was just the icing. I know you need to pause per YT's stupid rules but a quick pause or pauses only to accommodate them [guidelines] thru the first run makes the experience more enjoyable for me and I bet you too.

You really need to see Styx in concert now that they're back on tour. They started out as a great live act without much radio airplay, and then the DJ on Chicago's main rock station played their power ballad "Lady" until everyone got it.
Live, the current lineup without Dennis has a lot of Tommy, and they usually end the show with an extended version of "Renegade" ("you want more - we got more").
The album versions are great, but in concert the rock is turned-up to "12". Concert blu-rays to see are "Return To Paradise" and "The Grand Illusion/Pieces Of Eight" (where they performed those whole albums from start to finish). The medley of 20+ songs on "One With Everything (with CYO)" is also awesome. CZcams has some old concerts from the 70's that would be great if of better quality.
This album has a loose theme of various professions. This one is a criminal. You also have: factory worker, gambler/investor/risktaker, office professional, athlete, artist/musician, healthcare/psychologist, writer, politician, and philosopher/theologian.
also, 'on the lam' is like being a fugitive or running away from something/the law. Tommy Shaw has been years on the lam in this song. About to listen to your Come sail Away review.
Tommy Shaw, just a brilliant musician... and his vocals are STILL amazing... the last two Styx records are really solid prog... love all of the Styx catalogue but the TS side has always been more of my favorite...
Styx and REO toured together for all of eternity.
Check out the Damn Yankees it was a Super group in the 90's with Tommy Shaw of Styx,Jack Blades of Night Ranger,Ted Nugent and Michael Cartellone the present drummer for Lynyrd Skynyrd!!
I bought this album when it came out on vinyl, and needed another one in just 2 months as I wore the record out.
Sail Away is my favorite song of all time.
LOL, Daniel not a typo; "on the lam" means on the run from the law, like a fugitive.
When you get to Judas Priest, start with Beyond the Realms of Death.
That song could have gone on forever. Styx at their peak.
I was like 10 or 11 or so when this song was a hit and I remember that ominous beat just imagining the executioner and the gallows as he waits be hanged. Sort of scared me.
I never understood people hatin on Styx, they are fabulous.
They are indeed:)
The great Tommy Shaw on vocals
"Lady" & "Babe" by Styx are my favorites! If you like love songs that is : )
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood live at the El Macombo……...itll change your life......just subscribed tonite, don't let me down.....
Crystal ball is a favorite of mine. Styx is an awesome band. Great reaction, thank you.
I've always felt that STYX was a poor man's YES .
I knew this would be a good one
That’s the difference between a Tommy Shaw Styx song and a DennisDeYoung Styx song - different sound but both fantastic. This could be a really deep dive for you, they have some really good albums, start to finish.
ShariSez1 Perhaps but let’s give Dennis his due. He’s the one who turned Renegade into the rocker that it is, not Tommy.
I like them both, they've each proven their talents and I don't think Styx would have been the same without both of them. We don't always realize how those behind-the-scenes struggles can manifest themselves into making them better together than apart.
Tommy was the rocker, one of the reasons the original band broke up, Dennis wanted pop, Tommy and J Young wanted to get back to Rock and Roll so Dennis DID NOT make this song rock, get your facts straight please.
classic love
I'd say that the criminal wasn't the 'good guy', but he was definitely the protagonist, because in any first person narrative, the viewpoint character is always the protagonist.
Being 'on the lamb' is a fairly classic, if dated, term for being on the run, hiding when and where it was possible.
Please do Boston's "Something About You". Brad Delp's vocals are incomparable.💖
It’s years on the “lamb”. Means same thing as on the run. Kind of old saying. Also he’s not necessarily talking to his Mom.... probably his girlfriend/wife. (It’s a 70’s thing... lol)
Great reactions 👍
If you haven't done Fooling Yourself yet, you gotta listen to that one. Another Tommy Shaw number, and it's fantastic.
Hey if you liked this one, I’d suggest you check out Boston. Awesome 70’s & 80’s band. Brad Delp’s vocals are phenomenal - he’s #2 in my book in rock, right behind Freddie Mercury. Awesome acoustic 6 & 12-string parts, harmonizing leads, killer bass lines, and some mean organ parts. Tom Scholz, guitarist and founder, is an MIT electrical engineer who recorded the first album in his basement with some equipment he designed and built. He started his own company, SRD, that makes the Rockman amps. I’d suggest More than a Feeling, Foreplay/Long Time, and Peace of Mind to start with. You won’t be disappointed. Cheers!
I love your reactions and hope you will do Too Much Time On My Hands, it's a fun song 🎵 😊
People really had a love hate relationship with Styxand the critics hated them, however they sold a ton of albums. I even think they have some sort of consecutive album sales record. When I think of Styx now I always think of this clip from the Simpsons where they make fun of their music czcams.com/video/gdnvOQBOjow/video.html
Styx-Suite Madame Blue !!
Tommy Shaw is underrated as a frontman
slang for on the run was on the lam...
lamb means undercover
You gotta review Primus - Tommy the Cat- Live at Bonaroo
If this is your first Styx song you picked a great one to start with :)
My Dodge Charger allows me to sync the c/d volume with the accelerator...the faster you go, the louder it gets...👍👍👍😁😁😁👍👍👍‼️‼️
I’d like to take Recycler1955hopkins reference to Spinal Tap and run with it. I know you don’t normally react to movies. If you and your dad did a reaction to This Is Spinal Tap it would be a treat for us all. It’s Rockumentary ( mockumentary ) that has music, music jokes and parodies. It’s really a classic.
Being on the lam means to be on the run from the cops. It’s an antiquated term.
Try Castle walls by Styx, or Lady , or Grand Illusion , or Too much time on my hands , or Blue collar man , ...
You have good voice too.
Can you please review Styx "Castle Walls" and "Suite Madame Blue"? Ohhhh...and...REO "Golden Country"? 😀
