1970 originated rock band, Aerosmith, is breaking up. After 14 albums and almost 40 years together, they are making a change. After the cancellation of the rest of their 2009 Summer Tour due to Steven Tyler’s fall from the stage in South Dakota which broke his shoulder, lead guitarist Joe Perry has admitted to the press that Tyler, “Needs to get his act together,” in an article on Spinner.com. Considering Perry has his own line of hot sauce and building his own solo career named 'Have Guitar, Will Travel' with the Joe Perry Project, Perry has established himself enough to back-up his own accusations toward Tyler.
Although the remaining five shows were cancelled due to Tyler’s fall, refunds for the rest of the shows were issued to fans. Regardless, thousands of loyal Aerosmith fans were sad to find out that not only is their favorite lead singer injured, but the band itself is in pieces. Younger generations might have to go without ever seeing Aerosmith play together again, depending on if the band ever reconciles.
Word has it, the band is looking to replace Tyler altogether since its 40th Anniversary is actually next year. A 40th Anniversary concert without the loud-mouthed-front-man? Lame! Steven claims he is set on working on his solo career, writes Fox News. However, the other band members aren’t sure the status of Aerosmith, dude to the fact that Steven doesn’t return any of Perry’s phone calls, according to Blabbermouth. Fox News has reported that Aerosmith, sans Tyler, plan to meet to discuss whether replacing him is in the best interest of the band, or if a long hiatus would be best.
Moves like this can remind avid rock music followers of band-changes like Guns-N-Roses taken elsewhere by Axl Rose allowed the rest of the band members to form Velvet Revolver. Bands making changes aren’t so much of a reason to sit back and gasp in disbelief. It actually encourages the birth of a new sound. Can Steven Tyler survive flying solo? Or, will he come runnin’ back to his band-mates of 39+ years? There’s only one problem that bands like Velvet Revolver have proven true: Everyone can be replaced.
