James Young Quotations

We utilized the center channel to present the kick drum, snare and bass guitar tracks, as well as singer Greg Graffin's lead vocals, ... Unlike a lot of modern music mixes for 5.1, the center channel was our anchor. This mix is more akin to a 5.1 feature film mix. By mixing in the Rick Chace Theater we had the opportunity to experience the entire concert in a THX-certified dubbing stage and in a room we know, love and trust. To ensure final compatibility in a range of different environments, Brett reviewed the final mix in Mix One, our THX pm3-certified near-field room, and took a few songs on a DVD reference disc so he could also hear the final mix on the new Bose home theater system located at Epitaph's Los Angeles headquarters.

Yes, indeed, in fact I would tell you that we go out of our way to be true to the original feeling and sort of sonic and musical pallet that we painted with back then.

We're seeing that at the classic rock station in Chicago that they have teenagers and people in their 20s calling in for this music.

When he first came here, he looked like a kid who had given up on life. There was some resentment. The first three years, he still wasn't sure that he had a home.

I'm into playing guitars, not into figuring out what else goes on with them.

I guess I should be more ambitious about practicing, but when I'm out on the road, that's about all I do.

The Internet has killed the traditional record business, but it's given back in the way of instant access.

There are a lot of people using technology that are playing to a click with backing vocals already stuck in there on some computerized thing that runs along in time to the show so they have these amazing vocals that are only partly the guys on stage producing them at the time.

It's crazy how every guitarist is their own worst critic in many ways.

Our customers want to give us more business and the key for us is to manage growing volumes properly.

People like to let loose at rock concerts and it gives them an excuse to do it in a way that is not destructive to others and not really destructive to the band.

All pain is per se and especially in excess, destructive and ultimately fatal in its nature and effects.

I'm a good collaborative writer. I can usually come in and add a couple lines to something, and add a riff or a B-section, or a bridge that will tie things together. I can do stuff like that. But to write a whole song, I don't have the patience for that, I guess.

And in an era where radio stations that are inclined to play Styx music are your classic rock stations and the stations that play current music look at us as dinosaurs - the only way we could reach people with our new music, generally, is to perform live.

And for REO - they get to play for some Styx fans and then we get to play in front of some REO fans. It helps spread the new music to the following of other bands.

And I said - Styx - as a musical group it is our place to reflect the light that is shining on us back onto this place and say - this is where so much great stuff started.

I don't know, I think the crowds are even more responsive now because the audiences are skewing younger.

I don't quite have the energy for extra curricular activities. I have to pace myself a little bit more.

I'll play until they have to scrape me off the stage.

Ten years ago, in 94, we thought maybe nobody would ever care about Styx again.

The live concerts are still one of the two greatest joys of my life.

You know the puritan ethic that started out four centuries ago in this country, needless to say - at least for the moment - a thing of the past - from what I can tell.

The studio that we mix in is still in Chicago.

The Westgate Landfill is zoned for residential use. It's near a planned village. The Navy has a capping plan for the site, but it's not consistent with residential use for the site.

I take the stage as a man in his fifties and walk off the stage like a man in his twenties.

We always got a strong response but I think in this day in age there is less of a marijuana fog at concerts and more of people just more naturally exuberant - it seems to me.

We're gonna release a studio album probably a year from now and we've got these recordings that we did with Coco Taylor and Johnny Johnson, who was Chuck Berry's piano player.

Originality is another criterion of aesthetic value. We may formulate an originality principle, according to which highly valuable works of art provide hitherto unavailable insights.... Notice that, although originality is a necessary condition of high aesthetic value, it is far from a sufficient condition. Many original works have little or no aesthetic value. An artwork may present a novel but uninteresting perspective, or one that is original but wrong.

Seeing our VH-1 Behind the Music shows just how dysfunctional some of the moments of the band were but this new line-up has put the fun back in dysfunction.

The travel is a lot uglier than it once was with TSA and the deregulation of the airline services. These planes are getting smaller for my 6" 2' frame.

People tell us they have been inspired by our music to do great things.

But there are rock and roll fans all over this continent and all over the globe, really, and we're just set at marking the planet with Styx music until the day we die.

They're kind of baby steps. We haven't made any measurable impact on the mortality rate or survival of this disease.

There are a lot of religious groups that set up tents there. It's important for these young people to know there is an alternative point of view.

Yes, it was painted over again. I'm hopeful it will survive through the 14 days (displays can stand) . . . Free speech in Polk County is very interesting.

If we can go right to the freezer and pull out a vaccine that we've already tested and show it will protect against multiple strains, then we could actually go right into commercial manufacturing and start making vaccine 3-6 months sooner.

We think Cyclorama - our most recent studio album - is a great record and everyone that has taken the time to listen to agrees with me.

It is something we have always excelled at and prided ourselves at - the excellences of our stage performance.

We are only at the bottom of the third inning at the moment.

Being in a rock band is about touring. It's about writing songs and it's about making records but it's also about taking a wonderful smile onto that stage and making the people feel good about themselves.

There is absolutely no doubt that I am a more mature individual and Tommy Shaw is a more mature individual and that we learned a lot.

An intranasal pandemic vaccine may help facilitate and expedite influenza vaccinations for more Americans in the event of a pandemic outbreak.

These are the kids that are the most abused of all kids.

Sometimes that mantle is hard to adjust to wearing but we are at a stage that we are comfortable with it and we recognize how we are perceived and how the real core individual that each one of us has apart from the facade that the public believes that we are.

So, We're really L.A. based with a secondary base in Chicago.

It's not just safe; it's safe and comfortable, relaxing and just being ourselves. Being ourselves. Imagine that.

It's our technology, with their knowledge of the preclinical side and our ability to ultimately go through the regulatory process and manufacture large quantities of vaccine that would make this marriage work.

The band we have now on stage is the band I always wanted to be in.

I've got some parts that should have been delivered before 12 o'clock and I'm still sitting here with a truck load of parts.
