Long live AerosmithXXXXXXXXX

I have to agree Tyler is Aerosmith. And I'm not saying that to be bombastic at all. It is just that if were to go to an Aerosmith show which I have wanted to do I wouldn't pay attenion to : Joe Perry Tom Hamilition or Joey Kramer because they haven't made them selves the focal point of the band I would watch Tyler just so see what he is going to do to entertain me and the rest of the audience. If I were to go to a Genesis show I would watch Phil Collins in the same way. Don't get me wrong I do pay attenion to guitarist but mainly it has always been the singers like Roger Daltry Robert Plant Jim Morrison who have always caught my eye rather than their guitarist. You really can't replace Steven Tyler replacing him would only destroy a phonemonal band that I have loved with all of my heart since childhood. I hope that Perry and Tyler can somehow work out their differences and keep Aerosmith going but if they don't then oh well life goes on. I mean Zeppelin had the same problem with Robert Plant not wanting to do their reunion show in 07 . The egos that are brimming in any rock band whether it be ones as legendary as : Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, The Who, are the very elements that will tear them apart.

Ok...here goes. I have been a fan of this band since "Dream On" was first played ONLY on New England radio stations as a demo. No one knew who they were...when rock was still underground. I quickly became a fan and have seen them live many times. They have made lots of great music, during the drug periods and beyond. And the internal turbulence has always reared it's head from time to time. I still cannot just let Steven get away with all the bullshit that he himself has caused. His actions have left some deep scars this time, I'm pretty sure of that. Remember, we only hear the tip of the iceberg as far as what really goes on. Steven's manager telling the band that he would be at any sound checks or rehersal's on the last tour???? How do you think that the other band members took that? Not a very "family" like gesture, is it? Or..How about when Steven shows up at Perrys gig in NYC ,asks if he can play one song at the show. Perry says "Sure". Then Tyler Announces to the crowd " Joe Perry, you may be a man of many colors, But I, motherfucker, Am the rainbow!!".And promptly leaves after the song is over, without even saying a another word to Perry. .....That is just totally un-cool..period. Tyler is blowing it. The band is fed up and wants to move on. Whenever you declare that you can't be replaced....you'e usually replaced. Yes, Steven is the front man,and the most noticed. But they are a band, a unit, they have all worked hard..not just Tyler!!! I'm sure that was surprised that they are moving ahead without him. Oh Well!!!! Every action has a reaction. I hope that they can get over this current hurdle, but if not. I will listen to any new venture with the remaining members and keep an open mind. I'm 53, and still ROCKIN'..and not stoppin!!!

Aerosmith is one of the best American rock bands of all time, and without Steven Tyler who has been with the band through all the hard times like when the band split up from 1980-1984 and Steven Tyler kept Aerosmith going, without Steven Tyler they would just not be "Aerosmith". Don't get me wrong Joe Perry is just as important as Steven Tyler but I personally don't think that it should be his call to cast out the heart and soul of the band which is Steven Tyler.

Iagree with Alma.We over 60 ARE rock n' roll.Steven IS Aerosmith ! Steven,hang in there.We love you !

Paul Rogers is one of the iconic voices of Rock. It would be interesting to hear what he could do with the Aerosmith songbook.

I saw joe perry perform in vancouver before motley crue, And he was amazing, yes everyone thinks steven tyler, but its the rest of the band, All steve is, is a voice, they should look for up and comings, and put them in the show, everyone knows how to sing along to aerosmith, they shouldnt put anyone big in stevens shoes because it just wont fit. I love aerosmith and tried to get to their show in vancouver before steven hurt himself. I think they need to do a tour using call outs for singers sounding like steven tyler, then when he is sober he can come right back in. I think his voice makes up so much of their songs. It would be impossible to replace him, but they need to keep on playing. I think this battle is just making steven tyler look like a child. The fight is never going to end until he pulls his head out of his behind.

People , Aerosmith is not Aerosmith without Tyler it does not matter how you look at it. When you hear an Aerosmith song what sets it apart is Tyler.........anyone good guitarist can learn Joes style of play but not anyone can sound and make a song sound like Tyler, 60 or not he can blow the drawers off any 20 something synsithezed voiced kit out their including the number one singer Justin Timberlake.

Goooooo Tyler....

Aerosmith puts on a fantastic live show. I'd never see them without Tyler and can't see the band without Tyler either. I hope the rest of the band shows a little loyalty and waits for Tyler.

i doubt paul rodgers, the best voice to EVER sing blues based rock would want to sing with aerosmith. he's WAY too gifted to take on the job of vox in a circus rock act. after his foray into the queen arena, i can't see him filling in with a-smith. he'd start to look like 'rent a singer'. as the resident keystone of rock vocalists, i believe he would refuse the offer.
