	Kilroy was here - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kilroy was here is an American popular culture expression, often seen in graffiti.
		Kilroy Was Here was the name of a song by the band The Move on their self-titled debut album.
		Kilroy, according to this theory, actually means "kill roi" (roi is the French word for king); king and father are identical, so Kilroy is an expression of the Oedipal urge to kill one's father.

	Kilroy Was Here
		The idea behind the album was also created in response to the wild accusations (basically, the accusations of putting backward Satanic messages on their albums) and new regulations (warning labels on their albums) that some legislators tried to impose upon not only Styx, but other falsely accused bands at that time.
		Kilroy, however, was still putting on forbidden rock concerts with his band for their loyal fans who opposed the oppressive ways of the devious Righteous.
		Unfortunately, Righteous eventually arrested Kilroy by making it appear that he (Kilroy) had ruthlessly murdered a member of the MMM by beating him with a guitar in front of the thousands of “rebellious” rock n’ roll fans who watched while this indecent act was being done.

	Aversion.com Reviews
		Kilroy Was Here casts the singer/guitarist in a light much different than his time in his Celtic rock outfit ever did.
		More introspective and personal than anything his band produced, this album shifts away from the direct approach taken in the past in favor of songs that move in somewhat darker circles as they allude to scenes painted with a more subtle touch.
		Though Kilroy Was Here is a much more difficult listen than any Black 47, mostly because its restrained atmosphere doesn?t work nearly as hard to win over listeners as outright rock, Kirwan?s trump cards, engaging storytelling, sharp wit and well-read instincts make this album a challenge that?s worth taking on.

	Mr. Roboto by Styx Songfacts
		The album title, Kilroy Was Here, is a phrase that was graffitied all over the place in the 1940s.
		Kilroy found out that his subordinate was over-counting the number of rivets riveted, and then sharing the extra money made with the workers.
		Kilroy nipped this in the bud by doing the rivet counts personally, and then writing "Kilroy Was Here" over the areas he'd checked, to keep everyone honest.

	Black 47 Front Man to Release Solo Album - Aversion.com
		Kilroy Was Here, scheduled for a Feb. 27 release on Gadfly Records, features a sound removed from the rock laid down by Black 47, with acoustic guitars, violins and trumpets making up the bands sound.
		The album takes on both autobiographical themes as well as pure storytelling, and touches on everything from recreating author Lawrence Durrell’s "weight of memory"—translating milestone memories into song—to exploring erotic themes.
		Just because Kilroy Was Here was built around Kirwan’s lyrics, he didn’t neglect the musical side of the record.

	Reverse Speech
		''Kilroy Was Here'' is the brainchild of Dennis DeYoung, Styx's 36-year-old senior member, keyboardist, lead singer, and writer of most of the group's hits.
		DeYoung plays Robert Kilroy, a famous rock star who is falsely accused of murdering a protester at an MMM rally and sent to prison.
		''Kilroy Was Here'' should have been a half-amusing, half-menacing parable of technology, the rock culture, and modern demagoguery.

		Kilroy’s hand is clamped firmly on the man’s shoulder now, their eyes locked together.
		Kilroy is thrown by this, and forced to rely on The Scotsman to translate for some early interlocutors.

	snarkout: kilroy was here. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Despite the ubiquity of the slogan "Kilroy was here" -- it was common enough during World War II to have served as the title of a period humor collection, not to mention a Styx album -- there's debate over the phrase's origin.
		Kilroy was briefly topical (Isaac Asimov wrote a pointless Kilroy story) and never quiet forgotten (more for Chad and the opportunities for visual puns than anything else).
		But unlike the smiley face (invented by Harvey Ball), Kilroy's creator may never be fully known; he belongs to all of history.

		Roboto, the first single from that album, was a #3 Billboard hit for Styx, and the Roboto character remains an enduring symbol for the band.
		I was fortunate, at age 19, I went from leading a 2 dimensional life (the Kilroy film) to living a 3 dimensional life (the live action on stage).
		Here there used to be sketches drawn by Stan Winston.

		Kilroy Was Here followed, yet another concept album, which brought them close to repetition.
		A watered-down pop-rock album with a big-budget production, its success came on the back of their previous album rather than on its own merits.
		As one of the tracks on the album stated, the group were self-evidently "Not Dead Yet".

		Easily the album's masterpiece is "Life's Like That, Isn't It?" All the elements meld for an enduring and soulful story of a father's return from the sea and introduction of his son to music.
		Here's how much I liked this CD: I played it every day for a solid week, never having to employ a barf bag.
		While there's nothing in the new album which is bad, there's not enough of the very good to be found either.

		The band's latest and most ambitious album, "Kilroy was Here," advances Styx's reputation as a socially conscious group.
		The plot behind the show (and the latest Styx album "Kilroy Was Here") centers around Kilroy, a famous rock star, and Dr. Everett Righteous, founder and leader of the MMM (the Majority for Musical Morality).
		The entire Kilroy concept is a direct response to the new conservatism that has developed over the past years.

		On my part, I think that Kilroy was Here was a very good album...
		Kilroy was Here tour had an unusual production with elaborated dialogues on scene, something quite new for Rock n' Roll fans.
		I can tell that this album was surely the number one reason for STYX' going apart, but not because of its quality but for its originality.

	Rolling Stone : Styx: Kilroy Was Here : Music Reviews
		Both Kilroy Was Here and Frontiers do at least lend the impression that these two groups are taking giant steps of some sort.
		Styx has always gone in for a somewhat showy sound, and Kilroy Was Here finds their writing at its Broadway best; unfortunately, while the melodies carry the all-purpose sparkle of a stage musical, the songs lack the sort of unity expected of a genuine theatrical production.
		Roboto" is easily the catchiest tune on the album, but given the nature of its lyrics, it's hard to imagine anyone unfamiliar with the overriding concept making sense of it.

	Brave New World
		Every album this classic STYX line-up has recorded has achieved gold or platinum status, including their most recent, 1997's Return To Paradise on CMC International Records - a live album recorded during their reunion tour in 1996 (during which they played for more than 600,000 loyal and devoted STYX fans across the country).
		This is their hardest rocking album since Pieces of Eight, and it proves once again that STYX is a band whose energy cannot and will not be deterred by time or changing market trends.
		In April, the album Paradise Theatre is released, soon reaching platinum success (STYX now has four consecutive platinum albums "under their belt") and remaining at #1 on the U.S. charts for three weeks.

		''Kilroy was Here'' is quite the stylistic departure from his previous work, with a brass section, fiddles, and guitar in tight ensemble.
		If I had to choose my favorite songs, I would go with ''Molly'', ''Kilroy was Here'', ''Life's Like That, Isn't It?'', ''Girl in the Rain'', ''Spanish Moon'', and ''Walkin' With Her God''.
		''Kilroy was Here'' depicts the lonely, transient state of any World War II serviceman on leave, in search of a little companionship: the man who did not want to spend his furlough in some crowded, noisy bar.

	Cyberpunk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the same era, Styx released the concept album Kilroy Was Here (1983), the story of a rock star living in a dark future where music has been outlawed.
		Here, the setting is still that of the dystopian near future; however, it also incorporates heavy elements of fantasy literature and games, such as magic, spirits, elves, and dragons.
		Shadowrun's cyberpunk facets were modeled in large part on William Gibson's writings, and the game's original publishers, FASA, have been accused by some as having directly ripped off Gibson's work without even a statement of influence.

		The last Black 47 release was a big flop to me. It was reggai based and lacked the depth of the first few albums (problem the record companies doings).
		Telling a story is an art at which Kirwan excels, as I have learned from listening to his work with Black 47, and also from his excellent CD, ''Keltic Kids''.

		Although Dennis De Young's concept about man being replaced by robots in the near future failed to get off the ground, Kilroy Was Here still harbored two of the band's best singles.
		It was the song's mechanically spoken chorus and slight disco beat that made it Styx's fifth Top Ten single up to that point, overshadowing the rest of the album's tracks.
		The saxophone playing from Steve Eison gathers some redemption, cropping up here and there, but even some decent guitar work from Shaw and Young can't save the rest of the album.
