JohnRogers Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Name a band that doesn’t exist to you anymore. They may still technically exist. They may be recording in an album. They may even be touring, but to you they are dead. Quiet Riot, with Kevin DuBrow and Frankie Banali whom are both dead, the band is dead to me.

No. I've just always hated them. I get that they are probably the greatest rock band america has produced, I've just never liked them. Funny little side story. Years ago when I was still doing pest control I had a customer out in Ware named Mike Tallarico. I had been warned ahead of time that he was a real dick to techs. He started out that way toward me as well. Halfway through treating his house, I asked if he was by any chance related to Steven Tyler (real last name Tallarico). I'll never forget the look of surprise on his face. After that I couldn't shut him up. Apparently they were 2nd cousins or something, and he came running out with an old photo album with pictures of family gatherings where he was there. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to see Tyler around town quite a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just use the name of a Dio album as their band name and play a number of Dio songs when they perform live. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Foreigner, who have played multiple times without any original or classic members. Mick Jones is the only guy from the classic lineup still in the band, and he has occasionally missed shows since becoming so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as Halford is still there it’s still gonna be Priest, not to mention Ian. And it’s not like Glenn has ever officially left the band, he’s just incapable of participating much anymore. Journey…. I mean technically as long as you have Schon that’s kinda that only determining factor. Plus Cain is still in it and I do think he counts. But yeah, with no Steve, I don’t really care about them anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I’m not understanding the Aerosmith logic. Aside from Kramer being left out of this last tour (iirc for health reasons?) you still have all the original members, and it’s been that way on every record since Done With Mirrors way back in 1985. What makes Tyler, Perry, Whitford, Hamilton, and a fill in drummer definitively NOT Aerosmith? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world accepted it then, and they’re still in the band now. What makes now different? The fact that they’re old and don’t play as well as they used to? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
