So, does this mean Aerosmith will reunite? Or did they ever break up?

Steven Tyler is entered rehab.  Again.

Now this explains some of the odd, unless you follow Van Halen, behavior surrounding Aerosmith and their status as a current or past rock band.

This year, Guitar Hero Aerosmith came out and that should have led to a great tour for the band.  Well, that was cut short because Steven Tyler fell off the stage and go hurt.  That’s what he gets for…wait…wait….Living on the Edge. 

I have never seen Aerosmith in concert, but I have seen the band.  In fact, I have seen more of Steven Tyler than most, but that is another story that some of you may know.  [Airport at Americana Lake Geneva Resort in 1990 or 1991]  But I have been a fan since high school.  I think “Dream On” is possibly the greatest classic rock song of all time.  I would love to see them in concert sometime.

Maybe when Steven gets straightened out, this can happen.

For now, the rest of the band wants to move on…..but as what?  Can Aerosmith exist with out Steven Tyler as vocalist?  Maybe, but who do you plug in to replace him?

I liked Van Halen with David Lee Roth and the reinvented version with Sammy Hagar.  Different sounds and I consider them different bands because of it…though I never called them the stupid name than many others did.  But Gary Cherone….never.

I understand that Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer want to move on.  Hopefully, they are able to do so with Steven, once he gets straightened out.  But if not, I will given them a shot in whatever entity they become.  But I will consider them a new band….even if they keep the same name.  They are the majority, so they are entitled.
