54 years. That's a damn pretty good run.

They've seen it all. The gutter, fame, fortune, the gutter again, redemption. And through all of that, they've given us some great rock and roll.

Even their most drug-drenched trainwreck of an album "Night in the Rutz" (1979) is an order of magnitude greater than virtually 99.9% of the garbage that's being released today.

Great run! Great job, Toxic Twins! Enjoy your well-earned retirement!

You've earned it.

Karma finally got him. It took a couple of years, but firing your drummer without notice right at the beginning of a Vegas gig was a nasty thing to do, Steven.

What exactly happened to Steven Tyler’s vocal chords?

This is the guy whose (illegitimate) daughter (of whose existence he had had absolutely no knowledge until she, in her late teens, approached him) played the "love interest" in "Armageddon" and an elfin princess in "Lord of the Rings," right?

I wonder how many other illegitimate children he has spawned. He probably doesn't know, himself.

Regards,

Aerosmith was America’s response to the Stones.

They’re a zillion times better than the Stones, too.

I love their music, but they were one of the worst live performances I ever saw. They were all still drinking and Tyler couldn’t finish the set. Jeff Beck came on and filled their time.

And he owned the entire stadium. It was at Comiskey Park for one of the old Monsters of Rock events.

I saw them at least three times. Good shows, but then haven’t really had any good music since the 1980s. All that pop-rock trash they did later was horrible. Their best was their earliest, of course.

Had tickets to see them (again) last November. Ticket prices were approaching stupid Taylor Swift levels so i decided to get a refund when Tyler blew out his larynx and the show was rescheduled to later this year.

Paid $10 to see him perform about 10 years ago when a wealthy tech guy arranged a private concert for his employees.

An imitation of The Rolling Stones. But you have to hand it to them for longevity.

I saw them a few times when they were in their prime. Those first 4 albums they released were outstanding. Some of the best music of the era.

Maybe he can do what Bonnie Tyler did - sing anyway with a new sound....

Probably America’s greatest rock band of all time when you factor in longevity, number of hits and overall body of work. And no, not at all like the Rolling Stones.

Back in the day we used to burn a lot of rope and rock out to "Train Kept A Rollin!"

Aerosmith the first rock concert I ever attended. Nazareth was the opener. I met my first real girlfriend at the show. Good memories.

Dream On…IMO the greatest American rock & roll song. I never saw the band perform.

Saw them just before they “hit the big time” at Genesee Community College in a small gym. Maybe 100 people.

I could have reached out and touched Tyler. Saw them a couple of other times as well.
