laughedatbytime Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 They're way too old for their first farewell tour. How can they expect to milk the public for 20 years if they wait this long for their first? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 I keep trying to wrap my brain around the fact that Steven Tyler is 75 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 No Joey no Aerosmith I mean it’s not nearly as bad as most bands who reach this age in terms of accurate membership, but Joey’s been an integral part of the band as long as any of them. He should get to say farewell too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should get to say farewell too. Oh wait I see his reasoning now. Health and family. As long as it’s not petty band drama like it usually is. That’s a fair call. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Heck! Everyone should enjoy a bit of retirement time. Hope they go out with a blast! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Their net worth is $150 million EACH, because of te deal they made with Guitar Hero. All of them are old, don't really get along, and don't seem to write good songs together anymore...so I'd say it's appropriate to call it a day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Since they waited until they were in their 70s to announce a farewell tour, I think there's a decent chance they may really honor that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom55 Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 I saw Aerosmith the last few tours ( not the residency in Vegas ) and they've still got it. Steven's voice is still great. I will be at one, maybe two of their shows. Great evening with this band. Yup, it's time for them to retire. I just hope they can keep their health together for this tour. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMontanaSKY Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I'm old enough to remember when it was more likely that the band would have been kaput over the member's substance abuse issues versus them just calling it a day. I would like to mention Steven Tyler does charity work for women who have been victims of abuse, which is really wonderful. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I always thought of Aerosmith as the American muscle car of rock bands. They're like a '69 GTO or a '70 Chevelle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom55 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) I remember first hearing Aerosmith blasting from a floor below me at my college dorm and it was amazing and powerful. I went down to the guys room and while listening to the rest of Get Your Wings. I was a fan. First saw them in concert the summer of 1975 at Central Park, NYC.

Lynyrd Skynyrd (although no one original is left) cancelled their retirement! At least they were honest about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the end of an era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping my buddy who has an "in," for this type of thing (he got the box we sat in at Fenway last September) can get seats. That should be a GREAT show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAccountant Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I will skip this one. Saw them back in 1988 and again in the early 2000's. Very unimpressed both times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
