Aerosmith to Disband?

[CAP1]

I heard one song compliments of a friend...sounded like thrash punk or something like that...maybe death metal...rather listen to Helmet, much better band...still not in the same league as Megadeth, Sabbath or Zepplin.


You still have to explain Cream...The Doors...and Judas Priest.  

If you liked that cowflop you should have liked Motorhead and Montrose...  

i like some of creams stuff......and to me the doors are 2nd only to the beatles.

 my tastes vary though...a lot....i have a pretty screwed up mix in my cd changer here at the shop. and to see what i have on my laptop.....would make your head explode.  

[Tango]

I agree...second to "flush it with the rest of the turds"...I mean seriously, "Yellow Submarine", "Uncle Albert", "I am the Walrus"...Romper Room music!!! 
May as well be listening to "Puff the Magic Dragon"...

If your music list is anything like mine I'm betting you have everything from Bach to Dimmu Borgir. My collection is a bit dated right now but I have everything from classical to death metal and shamefully beyond...35 GB and counting.

uumm.........aerosmith's "crappy" songs are lightyears better than 90% of the poop that passes for music today.

Umm depends one what you like. To me they are stuck in the same old rut with the same old sound. Many bands have expanded from their original sound and chose to concentrate on their music rather then make more money. To me their just another Rolling Stones . Just the same old same old.

I disagree on The Beatles, Stones (I do not like ANY of their stuff after Some Girls, but the Mick Taylor years are awesome) and Bon Scott years of AC/DC.   I'm with you on the others for the most part.   I do like Touch of Gray by the Grateful Dead, because of the Lyrics.   But Kiss, I'm right there with you, I own nothing by them and never will.   I've most of their "relevant" music and it is played to death.   

Aerosmith has always been hit or miss with me.   I lose them after Pump, by then, they had leaned towards "Top 40 hits" instead of worrying about the Music.   I sort of see Aerosmith and the Stones in the same light, they've put out a lot of crap since 1989.   But, they'll stick around now because of the flip flop of Concert Ticket pricing.   10 years ago, as a band you lost money on Tours and recouped it in the Stores.   Now it's flip flopped, because the Stones can charge $90 for an Upper Bowl seat ticket.

As for today's music Paul:   I listen to Oasis, Supergrass (awesome band), Weezer.   I still listen to the Revolting noodles and am pissed I was out of town when they toured last year.

Kings of Leon and Volbeat

thats funny, Jailbreak 74 was and is a great song, that is when they were good but so much crap since then, just cant stand them.
the only song from the Dead I like is "going to hell in a bucket"(think thats the name)

I never heard of any of the music you list as today's im a dinosaur stuck in the 70's

Give Supergrass a shot Paul.   I think you'll like em.   I'm the same way for the most part mostly Classic Rock here.   T. Rex, Pink Floyd, Queen, Rush, Zeppelin, the Who, Stones, Beatles, Cream, The Cars, etc.

This smells to me like a publicity stunt to drum up interest in the band again   Then they can have their 2,000 th reunion tour like the Eagles or other WAY over the hill bands that should be home collecting SSI checks and going to the early bird specials. I agree with Lusche that music quality taste is entirely subjective. Considering most people stop listening to anything new or different past the age of 25 perceptions of quality will be skewed to the music heard or listened to in those years. As always exceptions exist but several studies have shown that after the age of 25 most people limit their music to the familiar or similar to their favorite types.

Read my first reply, that is exactly what Perry has done.   Tyler just merely wants to be 100% after surgeries.   Think of Journey around 94 or 95.   Steve Perry was finally over his "stagefright" and needed just a few more months of recovery from a degenerative bone condition (Pelvis).   The rest of the band pushed him too hard and he left for good.

Aerosnorters(and shooters), The Beaters, all that stuff: Commercial GARBAGE that record companies have rammed down your throats and brainwashed you into thinking they are actually any good....  Even Paul himself has said that the Beaters were mediocre at best..  There is no difference between bands like The Backdoor Boys/Nsync/Sluttney Spears and all the other commercial/corporate butt-rock you people so adore....
Pathetic....
Whinetallica: Let me tell you something about these sweetheartbags....  Kirk Hammett is the only musician worth anything among them..  You can bet your arse that if Cliff was still around, they'd be as heavy as they were during the Kill 'em All, Ride the Lightning and Master Of Puppets eras or there would be no Metallica..  Metallica ceased to exist after Cliff got crushed by the buss...  Cliff was metal..  Cliff will always be metal..  The rest of these washed out skinbags are worthless without him....  And, I can absolutely without a doubt outplay Lars Ballrich anyday with both arms and legs tied behind my back and the drumsticks in my back side..  Saw them live on their tour this summer(was free: I'd never pay to see them)..  Lars gets worse and worse every time I see them..  He's had timing issues ever since he's been playing, but this last time I them, he was horrible and I hear him make many many errors..  I seriously hope none of you think he's actually a good and technically inclined drummer..

As far as what I listen to: Most of you are too indoctrinated and brainwashed by corporate musical entities to the point that anything else outside your current familiarity or scope of the world sounds like an alien language and is more or less unintelligible..

Oh!  I saw that those sweetheartbags from Greed(creed) got back together....  Well, not really got back together..  They just changed singers at one point and called it something else but sounded exactly the same..
So, they have their original sweetheartbag Eddie Veder vocalist wannabe back..  Oh, the humanity....

Most of you have absolutely no clue what music is....    Many of you think that if a band doesn't play an arena to a capacity crowd, have a video on MTV, or are played every 20 minutes on the radio that they must not be any good..  Look past the corporate music oligarch mediocrity..  

Beh, most of you haven't a clue when it comes to music...  Seriously.....

Not a fan of Hip Hip(I don't think it's music)..
Not a fan of country(I can only take so much twangy-ness and pushed out bottom jaws to get that
                            characteristic vocal country singers are so noted for)..

[Motherland]

I've never understood how you can sit down and listen to a post-Rubber Soul Beatles song and say 'the Beatles suck'. I would agree they made some crap in the early years (they made some good songs too for sure) but Rubber Soul, Revolver and Abbey Road are among my favorite albums ever... To be honest I can't put anyone over the Beatles other than Led Zeppelin.
It's just good music...


To me it almost seems like there's only two kinds of music anymore... the people who soulless pop crap, and then people who think their music taste is superior into the proportion of ridiculously obscure bands they listen to... which are equally soulless and crappy in their attempt to be obscure and unreachable by any kind of considerable audience.
