The official Aerosmith topic

I recieved 'Permanent Vacation' in the post today. Have been begging my brother to buy me it for over a month and he obviously did.

Excellent album, with some absolute classics and hidden gems.

You sound like a selfish douche. What happened is unfortunate but to wish for it to happen after your show is just selfish and that Steven Tyler was the selfish one is a lame excuse. There's no promises when you see a rock show and that includes the band or in this case the frontman being sober. Creed fans learned that one the hard way.

But wasn't Steven Tyler supposed to be sober? He had an accident about a month ago and was supposed to take painkillers.... He abused them and over did them and took them with alcohaul... I dunno if that was 100% true, but my aunt told me about it (who went to sturgis) and said he seemed out of sorts. And what I said about not caring if he 'fell off the stage elsewhere' wasn't meant to be selfish, only to show how pissed I am and how excited I was to see them... I really didn't mean that.

And if you wanna here selfish, it's ****ing charging $125 for nosebleed seats and $225 for good seats for a 75 min concert that was promised something but wasn't given because they "didn't feel like playing it". Little over half the stadium is sold, and I was near not going, but went anyway out of fear of not being able to ever see them again.

And I would have been seing them tomorrow night...

Good album, especially for the track 'Magic Touch'

Aerosmith cuts short US tour due to Tyler's injury

LOS ANGELES (AFP) – Rock group Aerosmith announced it had cut short its US tour due to injuries suffered by its vocalist, Steven Tyler, during a concert in South Dakota.

Tyler fell from the stage during an August 5 show that was part of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in western South Dakota, the group said in a statement.

The accident resulted in a broken shoulder and stitches to the singer's head.

After receiving treatment at a local hospital, Tyler returned to Boston to consult with his own doctors.

"In his current condition, Tyler is unable to tour and the band wants to give him time to get healthy," the statement pointed out.

Guitarist Joe Perry thanked the group's fans "for sticking by us through thick and thin" and their understanding.

"We hope we can get the Aerosmith machine up and running again as soon as possible," he added.

Toronto just got cancelled. Ah well...the refund can go right onto my credit card haha

On a real Aerosmith kick right now.

I like later Aerosmith, but the new album was garbage.

A band that should go back to their roots, instead of writting another Get a Grip.

Aloha !

I wouldn't mind another Get A Grip, but the latest record sounds like a modern day Night In The Ruts to me. Many great ideas but none of it ever came together.

Salaam Aleikum,

I went back to it last week for the first time after listening to it in the week it came out. It definitely grows on you I'd say.
