Not only is Tommy one of the best guitar players and singers of all times, this man has a heart of gold..... I adore him 💗
June 25, 1975... Abused as a child and a ward of the State in a foster home, I got the chance to see Tommy Shaw with Styx at the Memorial Hall in Racine, Wisconsin USA. I didn't know I could sing back then and was pretty beaten down at that point and for a while after that, but Tommy you're music and talent made a great impact on me...
Years later in the 90's I got the chance to sing at Memorial Hall... so cool... I'm so glad that you are still there sharing your music -- God bless you :)
Fantastic story & I wish you the best!🎼🎼🎼🎼 Very good memory you were blessed with.
I know how you felt. There was something about Styx-if you tuned your voice, you connected somehow. Dennis was like a vocal professor, but Tommy was a journey into guitar.
I knew I certainly could not be the only one who grabbed a hold of this 'magic' in Styx and used it like a grappling hook to crawl up out of the darkness.
JY made sure you got your money's worth.
Got give the propers to pull who should have them 😅.
Look at things in the Light❤
I was also blessed, and I'm grateful I got to see Stux live a couple time. Great performance, great music. Thanks for the tunes.
Had to come back & see it again! Tommy is flat out Awesome! Really love his stories! What I don't understand is, how are you not blown away by that pic Katie? Did you not ask him he recovered from being that far over the rail? I'm guessing that, with being past the point of no return;
Tommy would've had to 'Very Quickly' let go of the guitar & grab the rail. But with his feet so high, that's still 'an incredible' stunt & pic!
(also really love that 911 cross, El Cabong and his collection). Thanks so much for this interview Katie & Tommy!
Tommy is the best and his voice is still amazing
I've been a HUGE Styx fan since 1977!! Tommy was my favorite. How ironic he has the memorabilia from 9/11. Tommy's birthday is September 11th. 💗
THANK you for the info!!
I DIDN'T KNOW that! I'm
"69" yrs young an to me
Tommy's THE HEART of
STYX even when he was
IN THE "Damn Yankees"
in the late 60's early 70's
Ted MAY HAVE towered
over Tommy, but Tommy
the cute TALENTED one
showed NO insecurities
with Ted Nuggent GONE
WILD as usual!!! 😂
What a classy guy! So down to earth.
Tommy is a good human! Holy crap, we all miss Styx.
Yes we do. I hope they release their new album soon...
When I listen to Styks, it has to be the original band. They were the best.
They're still rockin'
Speak for yourself!
I am in love with this man! I have been since I first saw him on stage in the 70's. It's nice to see he's still Tommy Shaw. He's into dogs too. Neat guy! My kind of man.
1 of my Fav 🎸player since the 70's
Platforms!!!! I remember my friend and I wore them EVERYWHERE!!- on tile floor we sounded like a team of horses coming!!! Rock on Tommy Shaw!!!
He's awesome so down to earth!
I love this episode, AND this guy! He's amazing all around!
Tommy is the best! He's one of my rock idols. Such a great singer/songwriter/musician. In 1980, I was 16 years old and went to a summer camp in Greece. For the talent show, I played acoustic guitar and sang "Boat on the River". With an amphitheater filled with 250 campers and counselors, I performed it and got a standing ovation. I knew right then and there that I just loved being on stage and performing. Tommy has always inspired me so much. I'm 56 now and I've got a Gibson Les Paul (just like Tommy) and perform with my band whenever possible. Through the years I've seen Styx in concert numerous times, and they were always incredible. Tommy seems like such a genuinely nice guy. God Bless him. Thanks for this intimate interview.
Saw Styx again on July 12, 2023 in interlochen, Michigan, the first time was around 1976 at Cobo Hall in Detroit. He is a true gentleman, so thank you so much for all of your great music.
What a super cool dude.
Love Tommy! At 9 I bagged my parents! Got a little acoustic! Took lessons from local College guy! Told me my guitar was unplayable! Broke my heart! Long story Parents wouldn't buy me another! Soo.. I got another at 20! played ever since never looked back! I'm now 64! Thanks!
LOOOOOOOOOVE Tommy and STYX😊😊😊😊
Huge Tommy Shaw and Styx fan !!! ♥️🎶🎙🎸🔥🤟🙌
I love Tommy! So talented and so down to earth!
I like Shaw. Love Yankees & Styx :) Much
❤️✌🏻🌟🌟🌟🏝🏝🔥⚓️💖
Gosh I just totally dig Tommy man ..Great guitar player song writer and singer ...Dude is my Hero...I was just singing his stuff Christmas shopping with my babe today
I've been a Styx fan since first hearing them back in the mid-'70's. First saw them live in '96 and went on to see them 9 more times; the most recent was in Charlotte, NC back in August 2022. Good stuff for 40+ years.
El Kabong was an aka of Quick Draw McGraw. Awesome that he remembers this!!!
One of the most talented front men ever
I saw Tommy with Damn Yankees... =]..in Seattle. Seriously Rocked it!!
The Best of Times!
Saw Tommy and Styx first time live in 2018. Fantastic show! Tommy is a true rockstar! Absolutely killing it musically and looked like he was having a great time doing it! Very impressed!
Love Tommy and love Styx. Styx were one of the first bands I saw in the 70s. Styx and REO are still bands my kids and I try to see. Praise the Lord!
What a cool interview
That 'over the rail' shot (and story) is Crazy! So glad he lived to tell about it! Now I understand why he'd still be wearing those shoes!
He is a real gem !
Tommy's performance of The Angry Young Man with the Cleveland Contemporary Youth Orchestra is worth taking a look at. My spirits are always lifted after watching this video. Check it out, you will thank me!
I watched the whole thing and as a musician myself I was so blown away by the enthusiasm those kids had for music generations older than they were, it showed so unmistakably on their faces that it has restored my hope that the future of music is gonna be more than just glorified karaoke, autotune, and smartphones. Those kids could actually play and sing and looked like they were having a hell of a good time doing it!!!
"Gloria" was one of. if not the, first song that I ever learned.
"el Ka-bong " hanna-barbera's cartoon Quik Draw McGraw's incognito caped super hero ( he is a Horse ) and his side kick ( donkey ) was named " baba Louie " ..... Sytx one of my fav bands of all time .... thank you for this content
El kabong was in the cartoon Quickdraw Magraw. 😁🤘
Love Tommy Shaw!❤
This was awesome
SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide}
soooo cool..!!!! love ya tommy!!!
Styx was my last concert before the pandemic and will be my first concert back from the pandemic in June
Saw them on June 23 1983. No opening act...billed as "An Evening With Styx"....I met J.Y. and Tommy in 2000 at a Holiday Inn as they were getting on their tour bus. J.Y. is very very cool and down to earth.....Tommy was a true class act.
@@godwillguideme.3773 ive met them several times...great guys
I have watched many of these videos and she always looks like a million bucks. Just gorgeous
Tommy has drunk from the fountain of youth!
Glad to see he could be a believer in Christ.
Saw Styx in the late 90s or early 00s in NoVa.
Styx is the name of a river of fire in hell.
@@godwillguideme.3773 Never knew that, but figures the music companies wanted to put that out there fir a band's name. They were more subtle in letting us know who they work for...now it's more blatant n in our faces constantly
Awesome
Awesome interview
Very talented.
Only us old skoolers still call them Magic Markers...=] El KAbonb!!!
That's crazy playing over an edge 18 feet off the ground. Had he fallen, no Styx ever.
It dont git to much better than Tommy.....Vocals/Guitar.....the Man....MR. TOMMY SHAW.....Rock n Roll at its finest.....
I love cross!💜💙💜
TOMMY SHAW WAS IN
PHOENIX ARIZONA ON
SEPT. 8th &9th last week
TWO GREAT SHOWS! SO
CLOSE U COULD CHAT
with Tommy he's such a
gentleman! 😍 💙❤💙
Tommy is a phenomenal musician but she is beautiful 💥
Why the glasses? Gorgeous blue eyes hidden. Adore him/them!
Us regular folks seldom realize: we go to see our favorite band once...maybe a few times. The spotlights shine, the effects flash..ooh...aaah. And then the show is done, and we go home and rest our eyes. Bands like Styx play sometimes 180 shows a year, with all the lights, and their eyes looking right into them. Not a lot of recovery time. So they wear sunglasses. Part of the life, I guess!
Love this man
at 5:15 she asks Tommy what songs do you recomend kids play on the guitar during quarantine. Wouldn't it be hilarious if he said 'Babe', 'Mr. Robato', 'Don't Let it end' and 'Desert Moon"?
Cool guy.
My band played the Rush Up and I remember that stage very well. Tommy should have mentioned the secret room under the stage where every band hung out, drank and played pool with all the musicians that stopped by... It was a Hot Spot in the day on Rush Street in Chicago.. Nice to hear it Mentioned ! ( also met a few guys from Styx at a bar in Delco, PA)
I Grew Up on
STYX in the 1970’s
Miss Dennis DeYoung
♥️🌟💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎸🎸🎸🎤🎤🎤
El Kabong, loved it Quick Draw McGraw.
Awesome!!
Very nice & interesting! Have liked Styx & and Tommy since they began. Loved his memorabilia that he has especially the cross.
Cool collection ❤
Great Video
Nice to see you in another light The top 10 can get corny I love your attitude So so glad your station came along a fan since day 1!!!!!!! Keep Rockin an ill keep viewing
Wow awesome.
yep, an era of the best of the usa.
You so cute Tommy love your humour ❤
Tommys Great!
Nice Hummingbird back there, I'd like to hear that!
Seen them at the summit in Houston, 1976 they were great.
this might sound unbelievable, but many of my rocking buds and i thought of styx as somewhat soft. at same time went to multiple reo, elp, boc, sabbath, van halen, RS, WHO, clash..........finally in 2014 went and saw foreigner and styx. foreigner was completely without members but their songs are just so strong. then came the show that included all of styx with the exception of dennis deYoung. immediately it was apparent why styx produced all those platinum sales albums. the live presence and especially tommy made it clear they still rock. my first styx purchase was mr. roboto album. most listened to tommy shaw was his time with dam yankees. i think of guys like tommy shaw and love of country comes to mind.
El Kabong… That’s awesome… Loved that cartoon…
Good job!!
The last story was pure Spinal Tap! lo;'
damn that guy always had a full head of great hair!!lucky guy!!
"Louie Louie" would be a good easy song too.
Yah Tommy I think you could afford to fix your first guitar. ❤️ great stories.
❤️
So down to earth he is an amazing person
💜💜💜💜💜🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸good for
PS cute puppy
My brothers first guitar was an electric from Sears too
Tommy is a badass.
Omg ……I remember el Kabong !!!
I do not own a single thing from when I was ten..long gone. Just an interesting tidbit
He should definitely get that first acoustic guitar fixed and playable again! There’s nothing like your first guitar.
Remember in the 70's when rock bands would smash their guitars? I tried to learn "Knocking on Heaven's door" on a cheap guitar I bought to try to learn to play. I sucked so bad, at a party, I played the song, then SMASHED the guitar, because I knew I would never be good! Got a great laugh out of it!!!😆
I remember El Kabong!
I do too
...yes....sears, silvertone!!!.......mine= J.C.penney,,sg copy( real cheap copy)..that I still have!!😯...Styx forever.
EL CABONG!!!!! MY FAVORITE SUPER HERO!!!!
Here's an idea if you like epic music. 💡
You need to listen to Mötley Crüe! They are epic and they have the best drummer ever! HE CAN EVEN PLAY UPSIDE DOWN!!! Look up Kickstart My Heart, Dr. Feelgood, Home Sweet Home, Primal Scream, and Tommy's drum solos. You won't regret it!
@@godwillguideme.3773 They're so cool! Yeah, Tommy is awesome! Definitely, if you like Ratt you'd like them. Tommy is in the video for Back For More by Ratt. Yes they are very famous and have sold many many records. Tommy is the best drummer ever! Let me know what you think!!!
They are going on tour this fall with Poison, Def Leppard and Joan Jett. Tommy's almost 60 and he can still do those legendary stunts of his live!!!
Had a Tommy Shaw Silver street awhile in the early to mid 80s..thing felt perfect for any of us under 5ft 10" lol..stolen and could never find another
You know, you RARELY see any celebrity show off a piece of American memorabilia like Tommy's piece of the Trade Center... How often is it that a rock band would even CARE ENOUGH about this country to put it front and center in his collection. And the fact that they had concerts for the benefit of the Port Authority... WOW...... Its funny, but I guess I'm not really surprised, because if you've listened to Styx's lyrics over the years, they were very proud to be Americans, and lifted America up in their songs like Suite Madame Blue and others. So impressed.
Shaw's bday is Sept. 11. Incredible.
Anyone know if that's a fishman acoustic amp in the bottom right?
Katie, You're pretty cool.
2:28 I have a Marco Polo Piano. It was my Mom's and bought in 1962. Marco Polo was a brand of Kawai. You don't hear about too many Marco Polo instruments
Well when you come to our fair in york pa it should have dennis deyoung with you
Keep rubbing that Genie lamp.
Tommy Shaw--- a REAL MAN'S MAN!!!!
Rush Up long time ago! Thos stairs
🐕🐕🐕 ,yawn, he's talking to that little box again, when I want a doggy treat. Guess I'll just wander around the corner and lick myself, woof woof. ....grrrrr, lol 😂🐶
No Styx without Dennis !!!
Tommy, honestly; if there is a better guitarist than you, I have no idea whom that would be. Styks, to me, is the most entertaining band EVER! I saw you guys in Grand Forks in 74 when you opened for the Holly's.
Hollies?
@@davidkenneth3983 Yep, The Holly's. Bus stop, was one of their songs. They had a few hits.
shaw is good
Sunny in there is it Tommy?
