“Look, nobody is a bigger fan of Tommy Shaw than me. The day I met him ...” — Dennis DeYoung Quote

“Look, nobody is a bigger fan of Tommy Shaw than me. The day I met him in 1975 I knew he was going to be a great guitar player, performer and songwriter. I was his biggest fan, and I'm Styx's number one fan.”

“I wasn't a guy who grew up wanting to be in 'Funny Girl,' if you know what I mean. I wanted to be in the Beatles.”

“When I wrote 'Grand Illusion,' I was making it up as we went along. I wrote this stuff and tried to do the best job I could.”

“I am, by nature, a guitar player... I learned all of these other instruments around that, and around the theory that I built learning the guitar.”

“Guitar Player' was always the serious musician's magazine. They rarely catered to what was popular. They focused on innovative players.”

“I'd love to have Jack White up. I think he's just a phenomenal guitar player. I'd love to see him play up close because he's got a killer voice, and he's a great lead player, too. That would be exciting to me.”
