Originally Chris Gaines was a character for a movie about a rock musician. But the more you look into what went into this infamous publicity stunt, the stranger the story gets.
Garth Brooks creates an alter ego that has black, straight hair and wears skinny pants and sings rock music. the Life of Chris Gaines" (or Chris Gaines' "Greatest Hits" as it was released) is like a fever dream. But NEVER have we encountered a concept that has been so poorly executed as today's album. From the greats, like The Wall and Deloused in the Comatorium, to some of the less greats, such as Songs about Jane and Christmas in the Stars. Guys, we've done a lot of concept albums.

OUR DISCORD: Flyover State Hotline - 1 608 HIT-NERDįLYOVER STATE TV YOUTUBE live every other Tues. Although there are a few redeeming songs on this attempt at a "Wall"-esque concept album, it has never been more clear to me that the bandmates were not fully in it.īut HEY, to help us through this album, we have the ONE AND ONLY Andy Merill AKA BRAK here to share in our highs, lows, and tangents along the way as we try and unpack what happened to Styx in the year 1983. Dennis DeYoung fell into the trappings of his ego and pushed the music in the direction of sci fi concepts and ballads, much to Tommy Shaw's dismay. Here we have Styx "Kilroy was Here", the album that made the group disband for the first time. However, for the most-part these break up albums so far have shown us some amazing songwriting, and they are still supporting each other artistically, like in Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours". From Iron Maiden's guitarist Adrian Smith leaving after "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" to the immediate crumbling of the relationships in Pink Floyd during and after "The Wall" sometimes bands need to change how they are doing things and who is involved. We've discussed many albums on this podcast that are considered the album that fundamentally changed the band from that point forward.
