That's so strange... When I heard a while ago that Tyler quits Aerosmith my jaw dropped... the unbelievable. Then I heard about joining Perry on stage, saying he doesn't quit and my world was good again. Now I just read those interviews and I see there's a lot going on behind the curtains... really sounds like Tyler's on drugs or something. Umph.

They got through a 40 year long history, one should think that would make them sort issues out when they come along. Well, I hope they will.... having another singer could never be the same thing, even if it's 4 out of 5 members. Even the new Queen with Paul Rogers never worked for, even though Rogers does a fantastic job. But it's not Queen at all. Freddie Mercury was too much of a trademark singer. And so is Tyler. Please sort things out guys... and finish that album I am desperately waiting for!

I was a bit shocked to read that they never liked their commercial songs? And really, since 1987 when they started having hits with those songs it was a different band. But not in a bad way. I always thought they'd enjoy stuff like "Dude (Looks Like A Lady)" or "Cryin'" - it's commercial in the means of success, but not selling out stuff (like those crafted songs they put on their 2002 "O Yeah Hits"-compilation, "Girls Of Summer" and "Lay It Down", they just felt written after a formula). Those "commercial" songs are so much a trademark of Aerosmith since 1987, and they were very unique. Only on "Just Push Play" they kind of pushed it a bit too far.

Another thing I stumbled over was a quote from John Kalodner:

"I told Jon Bon Jovi years ago that he should work with people in Nashville and he did and you see the success they had."

So, whose idea was it now???
