Everybody thought there was this bitter rivalry going on. In actuality, we didn't even know those guys back then. |
I can't think of many bands that can do that for five years without egos blowing up, but it's still working. We went about a year without seeing them (while touring with Cheap Trick), and we really missed them. |
In '81, we both had albums vying for No. 1 - one week they'd have it, and one week we'd have it. |
The competition started in Chicago in the '60s when lead singer Kevin (Cronin) was in a band in south Chicago and the members of STYX were in another and they were archrivals. |
