OT: Jets Lounge: Calling football "soccer" is bad form, even if it's Christmas

Someone actually went to the trouble of gathering this data. Talk about...



Oh, and you really need to watch the video. It's so bad, it's good.

And yet still, not their worst/best effort. I present this, from the live album they cut when Mr. Roboto was a smash hit and Dennis DeYoung decided that a bit more New Wave influence was just what they needed. Without exaggeration, this was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Still love this damn song though

Yep, you got me beat. I had pretty much divorced myself from Styx by the time of Mr Roboto. DDY just got too weird for me. I was more into their 70's stuff. Still think Suite Madame Blue is a damn fine song. However, since I can no longer stomach DDY, I'll present a Gowan version.

Gowan is a really good fit, their last album (The Mission, 2017) is about as close to the classic sound from the 70s you can get. Their two attempted reunion albums (Edge of the Century and Brave New World) with DDY are also pretty good.

Meanwhile, this was DDY's latest effort from earlier this year. If you ever imagined what a rock video would look like if your grandpa and one of his old war buddies made one, here you have it:

I'll give him credit. He still looks and sings great. It's so sad when you see your favourite rockers from the 80's or whenever have let themselves go, both physically and vocally and are ripping off their loyal fans with sub-par performances.

Peterik is a legend, but yeah this video is horrible. Which is too bad because the song isn't bad.

But bad videos are par for the course for Frontiers. They flat out make horrible music videos for alot of very good songs.

That I'll agree with for sure. Irrespective of how one feels he may have gone off the rails creatively or.. temperamentally, he's definitely still quite competent; a far step ahead from those who stayed far too late. Imagine paying to see one of Sinatra's last concerts? Yikes.

Yeah, I really like the song. The harmony in the chorus reminds me a lot of Pieces of Eight. Much better to listen to than to watch

Is it wrong to be jealous of your own child?

I'm asking because my son (remember StronGeer?) is one of the gearheads in Germany right now making THIS happen... and I'm jelly AF!

You should be both jealous and proud

I thought back to back elections would be driving silly season for me, but it's Jets training camp that is really bringing out the hot takes.

Pet peeve time. Text message:

[Person]: Hank
[Me]: ?

(Four hours elapse with nothing)

[Me]: ??
[Person]: Oh sorry, I was busy, was just wondering (mundane thing that you could’ve easily texted or just said ‘call me’ if you were that busy)

Like WTF? Thanks for the four hour anxiety attack.

Turnabout is fair play, as they say.

Geez haven’t seen that name in a bit. That’s awesome!


Rugby World Cup arrived just in time to distract me from all of the Jets hand wringing. Don’t care if NZ wins or not, would like to see Ireland grab it for the first time. Canada sucks but you guys should still tune in.

Yikes man, really sorry to hear that, hope you’re ok and you can get this sorted out.

Must be very stressful. Take care.

Grand Illusion and Equinox were all that mattered. Everything else they did was shit on a shingle.

CBD is your friend.

Not sure if anyone is interested - there was a conversation on Twitter about the persistence of homophobia in junior hockey, so I wrote a story based on my experience with it:
