Interview with Todd Sucherman on Peterson's Drum Blog
Q) When John(Former STYX drummer)passed, you became the drummer for Styx. What was your first show like?
A) Well, I was brought in before then. John was in ill health and I was called to play the remake of "Lady" from the A&M Greatest Hits CD in '95. In '96 they called me again to Play on "Little Suzie" for Greatest Hits II. I was asked to do the summer tour in 1996 with the caveat that if John's health improved, the gig would be his. He died in the middle of that summer, so I've been around ever since. The first show was great---May 21st, 1996 in Cedar Rapids. I'll always remember that one. We did another 71 shows that summer.

His liquid legato lines, spellbinding speed, incomprehensible intervallic leaps, confounding chord clusters, and mercurial melodies are legendary—and all but the most intrepid (foolish?) guitarists have abandoned whatever hope they may have once harbored of fathoming his trip...
