      @@joeblow2069 You're welcome to your own opinion. However, I have been a huge fan of Kansas since 1976 and am well aware who the original Kansas was. I prefer the originals but I also think the current iteration is quite good as well, just different. You're comment is like saying The New York Yankees are not the Yankees without Babe Ruth. I'm very glad the current iteration is still playing and creating new music. Btw, Kerry & Dave are pretty supportive of this current iteration in case you are not aware…both original Kansas members. And you're comment about who had history with the band is only partially true. Rizvi (correct spelling btw) had prior history with the band as far back as the year 2000. Jeff Glixman hired him at his studio…you do know who Glixman is, correct?

      @@donnylimbert4925 That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. So a rock band is just a corporate legal name that exists forever even if all the founding members are dead? Like Pepsi or Mars? No, music is creative. Kansas is not just some name to record or play under.
      Your Babe Ruth comparison is stupid. This is not a baseball team and Babe ruth did not found the Yankees!!
      If a group of guys made an album under the name Led Zeppelin and it did not include Robert plant and Jimmy Page I would disregard it. If you are stupid enough to think that is Led Zeppelin go ahead.
      It is not Kansas when the 2 main song writers are not present and 4 of the 6 members are not present. Yes that is my opinion. Not knocking these German kids for liking a song and doing a quality cover.
