Did not know that.

Why?

because their music is just boring and the singer is an ape.
they are the most successful candyass band.

I love everything up until Get A Grip. Toys is my favorite though.

Music boring? It is not! if you're drunk/high even the lyrics start to make sense What I'm trying to say is that I love Aerosmith, but I understand that you have to be in a certain mood to appriciate them.

When the dude on the page back first posted these press pics I was like what the FUCK...

Joel, Roth the ALL of Aerosmith..arent there any other fucking bands on this show ticket.

Shouldn't a singer, lead guitarist, from 5 other bands be there... shouldn't one guy be on that stage as in eight reperesentatives instead of joel dlr steven ...what the fuck.

I know there are some other bands worth the money to pay to sit there and discuss what is going down...is there another press conference for the guys that should be filling the 4 aerosmith chairs...?

I bet they are cool cats too...yes no...?

I thought the same when I saw the press pics, it was not fair to the other bands.

[Matt White]

does anyone know I'm a HUGE anti-Aerosmith?

Have to say...they've been pretty mediocre since aboot 1978..........they were the GUNS 'N' ROSES of the 1970's

GET YER WINGS, TOYS & ROCKS are all Damn fine American Hard Rock.....

Any band today would give their left Nut to write that many good songs.....................

They've been the ultimate Corporate band for decades now....though, they do KICK ASS live............

[DLR Bridge]

I think the band, particularly Tyler, really started to wear on me once they started doing their own MTV documentaries of how hard they worked on their recordings. They did ones for Vacation and Pump and they both just showed what a control freak Tyler is and basically, how reluctantly complacent the rest of them are. Sometimes, it's better to not see the behind the scenes stuff. This altered my vision of them a bit. Though, I still love the drugged out era.

GOD!!! Poor Tom I had no idea it had come to this Joe and Brad don't look great either. And why is Joeys face red? Tyler looks like I would imagine Daves girlfriend to look. He does look like a woman.

Lol, look at the faces on Aerosmith and then look at Daves facial expression

[envy_me]

ha. this explains why I don't like them.

This is one of my favorite songs, if not the favorite, but I understand that most people can't appriciate it while sober (I do appriciate it both sober and drunk). It's SO fantastic. This is what Aerosmith is all about.

Referring to the band as "delinquents with an alcoholic coach", Roth described the challenges of motivating his band mates, who were conspicuous in their absence and arrived in Sydney on a separate flight.

"Getting the Van Halen band to turn around is like moving an aircraft carrier. You can't do it in two minutes, you can't even do it in two hours. It takes twenty summers plus," Roth said in reference to the band's 24-year absence from Australia.

I really wish Dave would stop doing this!

[Seshmeister]

I agree - Tyler is always good. I just hope it works in VH's favour and makes the band - Dave especially - put in the best performance.

Had no idea Tom Hamilton had cancer

He had it, then it went away for years, then it came back, late last year they were saying it had gone away again.

[Seshmeister]

I really wish Dave would stop doing this!

I guess it's hard not to when asked why it takes Van Halen years to do anything.

Especially when you've just done a line...

[envy_me]

I really wish Dave would stop doing this!

Strange that Ed doesn't react to it. Maybe the have some sort or jargon in between them where they are mean to each other but in a good spirited way.

[Northern Girl]

Only because EVH probably had a meltdown...

I doubt it, but I wouldn't be quiet either if they tried to change things a week before the show!

They did the right thing!

[Matt White]

Songs like this are the reason VAN HALEN covered AEROSMITH when they were a bar band!
