Aerosmith says that they are done touring. Tyler's voice is shot

Good thing I caught a show before they stopped.  Circa 1986.

They just need to find a Filipino guy.

[Gil Bang 25,905]

I saw 'em 5 or 6 years ago and they still sounded great.    Tyler was one of the great frontmen.

I had a pair of tickets to the Dallas show that was postponed from last year.  Sad reality is to see legacies the moment an opportunity arises.

I saw Aerosmith and Tom Petty at the same festival in back-to-back years for that very reason.  "Kaaboo" in Del Mar CA

Caught them on the Done with Mirrors tour, followed by Permanent Vacation. Rocks is one of the best records from the 70s. The boys had a good career.

My favorite Aerosmith song.

They should have given a shout out to Rick Rubin and Run DMC for giving them a second life. 

[4th&Five 41,483]

And Alicia Silverstone. 

[Jerry Callo 8,676]

This is crazy and it might seem like the same old song and dance, but if you think they are getting back in the saddle – you can dream on.  Tyler’s voice has been livin’ on the edge for a while now and this is what it takes to be pushed into a permanent vacation.

I met the guy that was going to be the fill-in drummer for this tour through a mutual friend, sucks for him I'm sure.

They sounded like total crapola in that live concert video release they put out several years ago. Probably should have hung it up a long time ago.

Well... First off let me say that Aerosmith was one of my earliest original find bands, I had one of the original Album pressing, the one you cannot find, and I loved that band. I assume all of you are fans of "Dazed and Confused!"  Well I actually attended the very same concert Wooderson was trying to woo the young red head to.  The Sam Houston Coliseum show On June 24th, 1976.  I walked out, Tyler's voice sucked and I was bummed out.

But as much as I liked "Dream On" I sort of understand Steven Tyler got a tattoo of "Mama Kin" on his arm, thinking that was going to be the song that made them.  As I still love that fucking song. 

And Tyler was fried for sure, as was I and everyone else there, but I could have sung better

Should have quit in embarrassment after recording that god-awful cover of Come Together. 

The worst.

I don't know why any drummer would ever sign up to cover that song.  Huge mistake.  That's Ringo on steroids and you can't copy that.

yeah if I’m them I’m hoping just kinda dip out and stay under the radar till I’m dead. Honestly the Led Zep guys too.

 

I saw them in The Woodlands in the… Pink era maybe. I think Get a Grip was the first album I bought.

If you are a rock band and agree to release a song simultaneous to a country artist releasing the same song, you should re-evaluate your choices or contract.

I think it's been generally accepted that all of those rock bands nack then had groupies who were underage by today's standards.

I think that people are kinda trying to just say "yeah different standards" and if I was one of those guys I would be constantly afraid of it turning into a conversation about how 13 year olds were always too young to be fucking

Additionally, the family's (Tylers ) contemporary accounts, the legal paperwork, the eye-witness accounts. And agreed, I was alive in the 70s and I don't remember adults publically condoning engaging in sex with 13-year-old girls.
