Has Steven Tyler Quit Aerosmith?

tyler_90Joe Perry seems to think that he has. It’s very sad news indeed if it’s true.

Legendary Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry seems to have confirmed last week’s rumours that Steven Tyler has left the Boston titans.

Speaking to the Las Vegas Sun, Perry has said: “Steven quit as far as I can tell. Right now i’m adjusting to how we’re going to go on. Aerosmith is such a powerful band, I mean it’s like a steam locomotive. You just can’t disregard 40 years of four guys who play together as well as they do.”

“As far as replacing Steve, it’s not just about that, it’s also four guys that play extremely well together, and I’m not going to see that go to waste. I really don’t know what path it’s going to take at this point, but we’ll probably find somebody else that will sing in those spots where we need a singer.”

Can Aerosmith continue without Steven Tyler? That’s one hell of a big pair of shoes for somebody to step into, isn’t it?

No they can’t continue without Tyler, that would be like Zeppelin without Robert Plant. Hope they get their act together, I want to see them live!

they need to sort this out.. i am desperate to see them

Bad news indeed. Thank fuck i saw them a few years ago at Hyde Park. I almost didn’t go!

Moshtank

well thats another band ill never get to see live…properly anyway…
THUS ENDS ANOTHER GLORIOUS CHAPTER OF ROCK
i hope tyler comes back though noone can fill his shoes :(

Benmetal

Noooooooooo

I never got to see them live yet and missed 2006 Graspop appearance.

Please let it be lies.

Aerosmith can’t continue without Tyler, it wouldn’t be the same!

Epic publicity stunt. Just wait for the inevitable reunion tour

He’ll come back at some point. It’ll end up like Maiden with Bruce. He quits to persue a solo career, the band get a new singer n start to go down the pan, so they beg him to come back & become massive again!

The perfect replacement: BLAZE BAYLEY!

Yeah I’m not with em if Tyler ain’t in, just as if Perry, Kramer or any others pulled out it wouldn’t be the same! I hope they realize how badly it’ll work without him and just stick around for a few more years so I can see 1 of the greatest bands goin!!!

I hope they stay together, but if it’s inevitable that they’ll split, at least do one big-ass tour to finish off. A festival would be nice. (hint: Download.)

Thank god, I fucking hate Aerosmith.

No Demon Of Screamin’ = No Aerosmith.

Such a pity that I never got to see them live and it’s soul destroying that they now won’t be able to make that one last ‘classic’ sounding album!!

If he has left then i dont think it will be forever.

Keep the faith my friends. If you book them, they will come.

So whats robert plant doing nowadays? it wouldnt be aerosmith but it would be fun!

He fell off the wagon….and the stage, LOL! So far as the genra is concerned the rolling stones are king. Steven has earned his retirement, I say, ’so long and fair-well’. ‘Go drink some margaritas in tahiti, brother!’

Can’t say this is much of a suprise. The band has not produced any decent music for a good few years. Perhaps this is a good excuse for them to pack in and put us out of our misery.

They’ll get somebody else, do a few gigs (so people can say ‘I saw them without Tyler’), Tyler will release a poppier single with either a younger/hipper producer or a duet with, say, Justin Timberlake or Miley Cyrus, and then he’ll realise he’s being a twat and come back.

I don’t like Aerosmith at all)… but the band just won’t be the same without Tyler. he’s as much as the image of the band as the voice. But many bands have replaced vocalists and got it right, although more have gotten it wrong. I am hella curious to see what happens for the future of the band though…

I’m sad to see it happen but everyone must admit that ‘Smith have been off the boil for a long, long time now. They’ve been bringing out so much AOR rubbish these days and it was only there live show that was saving them (and even that has been limping a fair bit too lately). I’ve never really been one of these people that thinks that once a band gets to a certain age they should give it up – if they’re good then who gives a fuck?? I’ve seen some awesome reunions by some great bands that totally blew the young guns off the stage (Sex Pistols, KISS and The Police are three that spring to mind) but Aerosmith are not what they used to be and maybe should go out with a bang and not a whimper.

The perfect replacement…ladies and gentlemen, Mr Conway Twitty!! :o )

What about those high end watches though eh?

Blaze Bayley is a great singer but I don’t see him feeting in Aerosmith.
