STYX is playing “Mr. Roboto” in concert for the first time in more than three decades, and former singer DENNIS DEYOUNG feels vindicated, because the rest of the band didn’t agree with his vision at the time. He says, quote, “I predict that Roboto will ultimately become Styx’s most popular song over time.” Two projects are coming this summer: an expanded version of 2017’s The Mission and also a live album that TOMMY SHAW recorded with the Contemporary Youth Orchestra.
During a show in Berlin, GUNS N’ ROSES played “Slither” . . . a song from SLASH’s other band, VELVET REVOLVER.
