Steven Tyler Cancels Aerosmith, Flies Solo. UPDATE

That’s the word from MTV and Twitter. I know there will be some who are heartbroken over this latest development. Not me. I’ve thought their stuff in the last ten years was mediocre at best, a ghost of the great work they did in the 70’s. Rocks is a favorite album. Still, I’ll trust this more when it’s confirmed by Pat… (hey, just kidding man, that horse has left the barn).

You know, this summer, there was a rumor that Tyler was going to go on tour as lead VOX for the reformed Led Zepplin, which of course means that a jealous Robert Plant will now replace Steven Tyler in Aerosmith.

PS. Here is a quote from one of my friends over at Talk Bass, who is, understandably,  not too sad about the whole thing:

Personally I am done with Aerosmith anyways. Our city had its show this summer cancelled when buffoon Tyler fell off the stage in Sturgis. We had bought 4 tickets through the fanclub for $200 EACH. (Way to high to begin with but ZZ Top was the opener). Gig gets cancelled and Aerosmith’s fanclub dinged us $200 for a “cancellation fee”. Couldn’t believe it. Tyler can’t make the gig and I get nailed. Aerosmith will never get another nickel of my money.

UPDATE: Well, so much for that. Here is video from yesterday that has Tyler himself saying his “not” leaving Aerosmith. Robert Plant’s gonna be pissed.
