Re: Aerosmith Perry upset over tour
I like and respect Aerosmith, just wanted to post this because it maybe puts some GnR antics into perspective, ie by saying that a rock and roll band isn't always going to be the very epitome of responsible normality etc etc....
Perry upset over Aerosmith tour
Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry has spoken of his frustration at the cancellation of the band's tour after Steven Tyler fell off stage last month.
Last month, the group announced they were sidelining the rest of their North American tour, due to finish on 16 September, because of Tyler's injuries.
The singer, 61, broke his left shoulder in Sturgis, South Dakota, on 5 August.
Perry said he had not spoken to Tyler for five weeks. "I don't know what's going on with him," he said.
The Sturgis concert where Tyler sustained his injury had already been delayed by heavy thunderstorms.
The rest of the tour was cancelled after doctors told him he needed time to recuperate from his fall.
Perry told the Associated Press news agency he was upset by the cancellation because "the tour was building up to a great tour".
He added: "Right before that, he had pulled a muscle in his leg.
"And we had to take two weeks off and we missed probably seven dates."
He said: "I hear he's getting better but I don't really know what's going on with him."
But, despite hinting at differences within Aerosmith, Perry said he was there was "still life left in the old band".
"All I know is he [Tyler] has got to get his act together.
"I mean he and I haven't written a song together alone in the same room in over 10 years so there's been some changes in paradigm of what Aerosmith is."
A representative of the band was not available for comment.
Speaking after the accident, the singer said he was doing "the Tyler shuffle" when he slipped and fell.
"I'm plain grateful that I didn't break my neck," he added.

Hope they sort it out.
Re: Aerosmith Perry upset over tour
Here's a concept. Maybe it's the fact that Steven is 61 years old.
He's not a spring chicken anymore.
Sometimes it's just time to hang it up, call it a day, and walk off into the sunset. Stones should've done it. KISS should've done it. Aerosmith should've done it.

Rock is a way of life though, and I think it's cool that some people can be grandpas and still live free.
