It’s over. Maybe…

Sometimes when I wake up in the morning, something happens that makes me want to crawl back into my bed for a forever nap. Usually it’s a just a bad hangover but today, it’s that pesky Internet whispering shit into my ear that I don’t want to believe. Today, and until further notice, the flag outside Cherrybombed.com will be flying at half-mast until I hear the straight dope from Steven Tyler himself, and not Joe Perry’s “Twatter“ account. Because if I believe the latest out of Perry’s trout-mouth, Aerosmith is over. Commence 70’s Rock freak-out in 3, 2, 1…:

Steven quit as far as I can tell. I don’t know any more than you do about it. I got off the plane two nights ago. I saw online that Steven said that he was going to leave the band. I don’t know for how long, indefinitely or whatever. Other than that, I don’t know.

I’d be lying to you if I said that I actually listen to any of Aerosmith’s music that post-dates 1995. What’s to be mourned here is the possible end of a nearly 40 year run by one of the greatest bands in the history of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Under less than amicable circumstances. As if this most recent rumor about Aerosmith wasn’t bad enough, Perry’s already talking about replacing Tyler and his mike stand isn’t even cold yet. Brutal…:

We’ll probably find somebody else that will sing in those spots where we need a singer and then we’ll be able to move the Aerosmith up a notch, move the vibe up a notch.

Yeah, Joe. I hear YouTube is a great place to find vocalists. You should look into that. All speculation aside, if Steven Tyler has actually “quit” Aerosmith then, Aerosmith is truly dead. There is no Zep without Plant, no VH without Diamond Dave (yes, really) and there ain’t no song and dance for Aerosmith without Steven Tallarico.

True (although I hope it’s not really) story.

Thanks: Dlisted.
