Default Aerosmith Looking for a New Lead Singer?

From the Associated Press:

New York, NY -- Joe Perry has posted a tweet looking for a new lead singer for Aerosmith. Perry writes that the band isn't splitting up, but they just don't know if Steven Tyler is still their lead singer. Perry told a radio station in Concord, New Hampsire (WKXL) that he hasn't heard from Tyler since he hurt himself falling off a stage last August. Tyler's been quoted as saying he's thinking of going solo.


I'm not the biggest Aerosmith fan, but I can't see them being a success without Steven Tyler. The two are just too intertwined.

And, way to go, AP, on spelling "Hampshire" wrong.

Aerosmith with either Perry or Tyler is not Aerosmith.

They're all old and rich. If Tyler's done, I say the band should be too.

They should have been done twenty years ago, after the Pump album and tour. They haven't released anything worth a damn since then.

They're well past their use-by date. Time to pull the plug.

Agreed. I'm not particularly eager to see Aerosmith to go down the path of Van Halen.

I don't really like Aerosmith but they really can't replace Tyler.

I wonder how many of the whippersnappers these days are more familiar with Liv Tyler than her father? I was surprised to hear they're still around, but this has been corrected.

Link.

Looks like Tyler and Perry kissed and made up. Tyler joined Perry's solo act, The Joe Perry Project, on stage last night to tell fans he wasn't leaving the band.

I smell a set up.

The Project still performs? Shit, I had no idea. Who's singing these days?

Ahhh I think its likely bad nerves and frustration over the last tour. I read in the newspaper , Tyler wasn't the only one hurt during it. And that he felt like it was some kinda battle to get thru it.

Good to hear Tyler and Perry are being good to each other again.

Me, too.

Apparently Perry wants to get back to the 70s sound Aerosmith had, and Steve wants to stay pop rock, like Jaded.

For what it's worth, I side with Joe on this one, though I absolutely wouldn't mind it if they had albums with both kinds of songs.

They could alternate them. Then I could just skip the poppy crap.

Almost anything that came after Pump. And anything with a cheesy sexual pun in the title.
