The last tour in support of Bobo, was the complete opposite and it wasn't due to the fact that they played Bobo songs, in fact, I had hoped they would, but there were very few and Tyler sucked. Whatever they had, it wasn't present that night and from what I gathered afterwards, tons of people were disappointed by their performance on that tour.
Of course, I am rather critical and don't just 'love' it simply because it is the almighty Aerosmith we are talking about  regardless of how long I've been a fan.  |
It was amazing - At least Kiss was. And I'm not even a big Kiss fan. I went to the show at the Tweeter Center in Mansfield, MA - It was lame. There was at least, a 30 minute blues jam by Aerosmith where many, MANY people actually left the show. Granted, it was a work night and it was late, but it had lots to do with the music. And given that Aerosmith is bigger nowhere than they are in Boston, that's saying something.
I agree - I don't love Aerosmith because it's the almighty Aerosmith. I love them because I really enjoy their music (most of it anyways.) There are many bands I feel that way about - Metallica and Van Halen come to mind. Neither band has done anything I've liked since 1995.
On the other side, Def Leppard, who was all but shut out for 3 records in a row, released 2 GREAT albums (Slang and X) and Euphoria was pretty damned good as well. I didn't jump off the Leppard bandwagon because so many others did.
Guess my point is, current status of a band has no effect on whether I like or dislike them. If this were true, I wouldn't have been a Bon Jovi fan from 1992-2000.
