Anyone wanna make a Styx musical?

So, I mulled over the idea of a musical based on the Styx concept album Kilroy Was Here. After a quick talk with ChatGPT, I now have a playbill

Act 1:

Mr. Roboto Cold War Don't Let It End High Time Heavy Metal Poisoning

Act 2:

Just Get Through This Night Double Life Renegade (from "Pieces of Eight" album) Haven't We Been Here Before Don't Let It End (Reprise)

Encore:

Come Sail Away (from "The Grand Illusion" album)

If any of you theater kids on here wanna have a go at taking this tracklist, writing a story around it and putting on a production, then have it. I wanna see the results.

#styx band #kilroy was here #musical theatre #mr. roboto #why do I think of these things #somebody make this so I can stop thinking about it

I had an interesting revelation tonight in a conversation with my dad. We were listening to Styx’s “Kilroy was here” album & he said that it was Classic Rock. Which I disagreed with, since to me, Classic Rock is the ‘50’s-‘60’s rock era. Styx is definitely Rock ‘n Roll, but not Classic. Just straight Rock.

His take was that Mr. Roboto is classic rock, as in it’s a classic song. I agree with that, but found it intriguing that we had different definitions for “Classic Rock”. I was thinking of it as a genre or sub genre, a specific era of rock music, with a capital C. He was thinking of it as a way to determine songs that have staying power, with a lowercase c. Both are right, but come from different directions. It’s fascinating to think that we can use the exact same word but mean quite different things.

Also, “Kilroy was here” isn’t just an album. It’s a whole rock drama, which I only found out about because the album back cover had the cast pics & the inside of the album had a synopsis. It’s on YouTube, so I know what I’ll have on in the background while I work tomorrow…

It's weird that the song Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto can be accurately described as stygian

Conversation

Question: Do you feel love?

Kilroy: Of course I do. I was created with the ability to think. To breathe. To feel. This human brain helps me process emotion. This human brain sends signals to my human heart when I feel too much.

Kilroy: The price of this is I also hold knowledge. I know these parts aren't mine but I can't imagine the thing I could've been had I not been put together with them.

Question: Do you love humans?

Kilroy: Of course I do. My human parts gave me a new perspective on humanity. I watched people kill robots left and right and that never changed my opinion on them. They were doing their best to survive a thing that wanted them gone. I can't blame them for that.

Kilroy: I want to apologize on behalf of my kind for putting them through this. I want to make it up. I want to extend my love for them and help them whenever I possibly can. That's why I'm a human therapist. They don't know what I am but it's better that way.

"Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto" is the opening song of the Styx concept album, "Kilroy Was Here," about how the moralistic government of the future outlawed rock and roll, so Kilroy, aka Robert Orin Charles Kilroy (R.O.C.K.) vowed to continue rocking and restore it. The opening song is about Kilroy escaping from prison by disguising himself as a Mr. Roboto, a menial cleaning robot. The album was not about robots, and so Mr. Roboto was not mentioned after his purpose was served.

I don't have a caption for this other than the song is "Laplace's Angel" by Will Wood.

This is my OC based off of the song Mr. Roboto by Styx :)

All my comments on the Styx: Caught In the Act tape

I'm SO glad i bought this tape

Tommy on my TV screen hits so different 👁️👄👁️

again, I wanna know what their fucking budget was for the Kilroy film

I WANT MORE OF TOMMY'S ACTING I THOUGHT IT WAS GENUINELY GOOD

I love how pouty faced and dissociative Tommy is the whole time during Mr. Roboto like how the FUCK could he sit that still when that bop was blasting through him

he's just letting Dennis have his pick-me theater kid moment

and that GREASY FRIED CHICKEN STOPPGKAKAKGLG

"and when JY started his guitar solo-" *EVERYONE FUCKING SQUEALS*

this is getting me even more psyched for next month when I see them again

as much as I love this whole tape and am eating it the FUCK up I can totally understand why JY and Tommy hated every second of this (i was in drama club in high school I get it)

(it was here the wine started to kick in)

I stg these ppl only get along when Rockin the Paradise is playing

I'm getting in a habit of saying FUCK IT UP DENISSSS whenever he has a solo

Blue Collar Man- "the DOG and my friends"

TOMMY ROLLING HIS Rs STOP

TOMMY'S ROCKIN OUT AAAAA LOOKATHIMGO HE'S GETTIN SO INTO IT THIS IS HIS MOMENT iM GONNA BE GOING SO FUCKJNG FERAL FOR HIM IN THE 5TH ROW

Tommy pls don't fall I know you're light enough for me to catch u but pls dont fall

"the california state legislature was so loosened up they decided several records including ours had backwards satanic messages on them" NGMSKWKGOGOSLPG

JY'S MAKEUP IS SO HHHHGGGGGGGHHH

I'm such a fucking S L U T for the transition from JY to Tommy's vocals on Snowblind like that shit is better than sex

i'm just realizing now this is VERY different than what I was doing this time last night (touching Phil Lewis)

Tommy: this one goes out to all of you who ever felt like you had too much time on your hands :)

the way he SQUATS like boi he R E A D Y this is his MOMENT 👏👏👏

HIM DOING THE LITTLE HAND MOTIONS

"is it any wonder i'm not a terrorist?? 😃😃😃" TOMMY NO—

i was NOT prepared for him to actually do the unhinged eye stuff

"and IIII DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF- so I do this- *plays the solo*"

you may be cool but you'll never be as cool as Tommy Shaw that's the facts

i literally almost spit out my wine at "HE'S NOT THE PRESIDENT"

not prepped for the thing they did by splicing tommy's face bc this tape is almost 40 years old so i thought the tAPE WAS FUCKED UP

the completely unhinged ending Tommy and JY do at the end of Too Much Time by JUMP-SHUFFLING IN SYNC

Dennis and Tommy doing Don't Let It End 🥺 tommy seems to like it so much 🥺🥺

OH SHITTTTTTTT DR RIGHTEOUS IS HERE OH NOOOOOO

SHAKE IT JY FUCKIN POP IT I'M GONNA SCREAMMM

CHUCK AND JOHN I'M GONNA SCREAM

THE CROWD BOOING DR RIGHTEOUS LMAOOOO

the fucking "guitar shredder" made me snort

the angels put too much angel into Tommy when they were making Him

NOT THEM WARPING TOMMY'S VOICE AND THE PIXELATION OF THE FILM

TOMMY IN THE CROWD FUCK IT UPPPPP 👏👏👏👏👏👏

THE WAY EVERYONE'S TRYING TO TOUCH HIS HAIR

Dennis watching Tommy fall into the girls like "you're doing amazing, sweetie"

NOT JY AND TOMMY DOING A CROTCH THING ONSTAGE

TOMMY PLS KEEP SCREAMING AND CRYING OUT DON'T EVER STOP

What i would give to hear The Best of Times live 🥲

tommy's distorted voice in The Best of Times always makes me feel something in my soul i can't explain it

that being said the very end of tommy's solo in that song when the piano just starts to come back in also makes me feel something deep in my soul i can't explain it

that also being said tommy's distorted voice on the line "could bring back paradise" also makes me feel something deep in my soul I can't explain it

Dennis' smile and lil' "thank you"s at the end of The Best of Times 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 💙💙💙

I just love that even 40 years ago as soon as ppl hear the first note of Come Sail Away they go feral like they do now

EVERYONE SINGING ALONG HHHHHHHH IT WARMS MY HEARTTT

i would lay down my life if it means i couldve been at this show

((it was here the second glass of wine kicked in))

I SAW THAT WINK JY

Chuck needs to come out of the shadows so we can see his insanely gay outfit

TOMMY BOUNCIN HIS LIL BUTT DURING THE KEYBOARD SOLO IN COME SAIL AWAY 🍑

something in me ascended when JY took over that solo 👁️👄👁️

THE GIRL ONSTAGE ONSTAGE HUGGING DENNIS AND TOMMY PLEASE THEY LIKE IT A LITTLE TOO MUCH THE WAY THEY WERE ALL SWAYING FMSKSKKVOBLF

that lil flick of tommy's wrist is SENDING ME FKANAKKFKG HE'S SO FUCKJNG BABY

tommy needs to be kept on a leash and that's why i made those memes i posted

UH OH TOMMY'S HUMPING CHUCK ONSTAGE

it's fine he's okay it's during Renegade he gets a pass on this one this is His Moment™ again

JESUS THAT'S A LOT OF SCREAMING TOM

it's okay it's during Renegade he gets a pass on this one

JESUS CHRIST THAT'S A LOT OF RUNNING TOM

JY and Tommy booty bumping so aggressively

TOMMY'S SHIMMYING FJSNAKKFKGKDK

OH NO THE STAGE IS GETTING RAIDED

JOHN NOOOOOOOO

Tommy as Jonathan: Dammit. DAMMIT! *girls squeal*

AAAAAAAAAATOMMYISSINGINGASONGASJONATHANGIVEMEHISTHEATREKIDMOMENT I'M LOVING THIS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Tommy's eye makeup is also so ✨✨✨

I feel the primal urge to give tommy a bouquet of roses after this show is over

i'm gonna cry Haven't We Been Here Before is just so beautiful i was NOT EXPECTING DENNIS/KILROY TO COME IN LIKE THAT

Fight me on this hot take but Tommy could do broadway and so could Dennis

the SWEAT that is GLISTENING on his face low key looks like tears

RIGHTEOUS 👏 THINKS 👏 IT'S 👏 OVER 👏👏

THE GLOWING GUITAR I'M TRYING NOT TO SCRAAEMAMD

Callsign ideas!

(I've been coming up with codenames for a book im writing and coincidentally they all make great call signs)

Atlas (I've always loved the name Atlas)

Axis (anatomy joke pairs with Atlas)**

**atlas is the vertebrae (c1) holding the head, axis is the vertebrae (c2) just below it, which allows pivoting motion

Almanac (the lesser Atlas)

Equinox

Midland

Kilroy (listened to mr roboto and inspiration struck)

Huntress

Raiden (Metal gear reference)

Honey

Kepler (I like astronomy ok)

Texas (it sounded funnier in my head, can only be used on texans)

Chaser (because tracer was taken by an overwatch character)

Destiny (Miles Teller said in an interview he flew with a pilot with that callsign)

Density (destiny but a bad speller)

Deepthroat (the intrusive thoughts won this time, also apparently the Watergate informant was nicknamed deepthroat and I happened to remember that useless piece of trivia)

Mania (??? I don't remember how I landed on that one)

Radar (i rode a horse named radar once)

Joe ( who's joe? Joe mama)

Duck (i have a bird named duck also since there's a goose there's probably someone named duck)

Killer (honestly stole the nickname from the wing-maker for the Victoria's secret fashion show)

Coolio (don't tell me there isn't a pilot out there named coolio)

Computer (idk i thought someone would be a 2001 space odyssey nerd)

Midas

Four-eyes (Bob's original callsign until they told him it was too long)

Mustang (ngl, got it from Roy Mustang, the flame alchemist)

Ocean

Ender (Ender's game)

Wheels (doesn't have a drivers license)

Tango (horrible dancer)

Blue (Sad Boy. I literally watched a movie where this guy's friends just call him blue cause he's always sad)

Stinger

North (ngl I stole it from that android lady in Detroit Become Human)

Baby (my friend couldn't figure out what to name her kitten so we named it baby.)

Hawk (I'm gonna be totally honest, stole this one from mha's Hawks)

Falcon

Dream (sandman)

Disco

Alloy (those guys from super smash training mode)

Vortex

Mop (idk fam it sounded really funny in my head)

??????

Honestly I'd probably be called something stupid like "frizz" or "eyebrows"

Feel free to take from this list for OC's in fics and whatnot. I'm constantly stealing cool names from media and memory.
