I was fully into Aerosmith in their early days, but I would put several bands above them. Van Halen, Steely Dan, The Doors, The Black Crowes, The Eagles, The Allman Brothers Band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and maybe a few more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 The Zepphead Butt Wart Monoliths. They've never been the same since Zepphead left the band, how could they be??? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it’s not like Glenn has ever officially left the band, he’s just incapable of participating much anymore. 2 replacement guitarists... I disagree. What happens if Glenn dies tomorrow? Does that change the formula and the 'validity' of the band at all? If so, why? Or why not? I think even with Rom and Ian, they are still a cover band at this point. When should they hang it up? Really, at what point does someone else thing they become 'invalid as a band'. And why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, at what point does someone else thing they become 'invalid as a band'. And why? It won’t change when Glenn passes. Everyone knows how vital he has been to the band since the beginning, but he’s passed his reigns to Faulkner (even though Faulkner was KK’s replacement technically). They’ll keep going until Halford can’t do it anymore. I still hang on to Ian here. It’s his band really, he’s been in it consistently since the beginning. I’m sure nothing happens without his approval. If he leaves before Rob hangs it up, then I’ll probably agree with you.

I don't think Aerosmith was even the best band to come from Boston (that award goes to a sextet that also put out their first album in the '70s).

stoopid Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 King Crimson. They haven't released new music in ages, but have toured extensively. Some would say Alice In Chains, but I like the post-Layne band even if it's not exactly the same thing. It's still good music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike Yes, KC more revolves around one key micromanaging musician who hires a bunch of virtuosos to play with him so I've always forgiven their various lineup changes. Plus it allowed me to finally see Gavin Harrison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moody Blues /John Lodge are probably an example, their new music is irrelevant and they're long past their peak as a live band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest they've come to an original composition is a live improv or their "re-interpretation" of a classic song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
