Steven Tyler leaving Aerosmith

For those that don't know, the members of Aerosmith have been going through troubled times. Last weekend, frontman Steven Tyler stated he might pursue a solo career while the rest of the band worked without him.

"I don't know what I'm doing yet," he told Classic Rock magazine. "But it's definitely going to be something Steven Tyler: working on the brand of myself - Brand Tyler."

Although there haven't been any signs of a dispute on-stage, there have been some incidents away from the spotlight. During the band's past three shows, Tyler didn't join his fellow colleagues until the opening song of their set. Now the band has decided to talk with each other soon to discuss playing without their frontman. Since Tyler is thinking of starting a solo career, it only seems right for the rest of Aerosmith to disband or find a new vocalist.

"I'm not sure how good that would look, it would largely depend on who we could get and who would want to do it," said guitarist Brad Whitford. "That's big shoes to fill. Nobody could replace Steven or imitate him -- he's one of a kind. But if somebody was willing to do it and the chemistry was right, why not?"

Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry said he arrived home in Boston on Wednesday and read on the Internet that Tyler planned to leave the band, reports Lasvegassun.com.

"He has had no contact with me or the other band members," Perry said.

He says he hopes to keep Aerosmith together, with or without Tyler, but he was so stunned by recent developments he doesn't know what's going to happen.

"Right now I'm adjusting to how we're going to go on," Perry said. "Aerosmith is such a powerful band, I mean it's like a steam locomotive. You just can't disregard 40 years of four guys who play together as well as they do. We're just trying to — at least I am — trying to figure out what direction the band should take.

"As far as replacing Steve, it's not just about that, it's also four guys that play extremely well together, and I'm not going to see that go to waste. I really don't know what path it's going to take at this point, but we'll probably find somebody else that will sing in those spots where we need a singer and then we'll be able to move the Aerosmith up a notch, move the vibe up a notch."

That's insane. You can't have Aerosmith without him, and he'll probably find that no matter what he does he'll be the "lead singer from Aerosmith".

Looks like he will, indeed, miss a thing.

Neek · 11-09-2009, 03:29 PM

Whit, ask if they need a nearly 38 year old ophthalmologist to fill in. I do a mean "Love in an elevator".

aod · 11-09-2009, 03:29 PM

Whitford, are they going to come together?

Harv · 11-09-2009, 03:30 PM

Yeah, this sort of thing worked out just GREAT for Van Halen and David Lee Roth.

Tilapia · 11-09-2009, 03:32 PM

Was he not just with them in Abu Dhabi? That was Aerosmith there or just Whitford's dad?

You can probably toss Roger Waters on that list, too.

Maybe they can find a Filipino karaoke singer on youtube like Journey did with Steve Perry.
