Rather surprising. Good luck to the band after this...

He's taking time off to spend more time with the lips

wow didn't see this coming. Really can't stand this band though.

hot damn, good news!

huh

I doubt that anybody does.

meh it's still music news, gotta be relevant to someone on here. Kind of surprising if he actually has left the band and this isn't some retarded not returning calls confusion. It'd be kind of a shock to see him leave before they just decide to call it quits unanimously

dont care at all. but that sucks for them.

This was interesting to me. Rocks is an enjoyable album.

Never bothered with these guys, but some people are gonna be sad. Were they not working on a new album? :S

whatever. let the battles over royalties commence

i had damn good seats to them recently but then they canceled those gigs...was really hoping they would still come back

one of the better rock bands of all time. kinda sad if this is the end of them.

seems so abnormal and spontaneous especially since this band is extremely popular.

He's quit before...

YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES

I like these guys a lot tbh, sucks.

RIP Aerosmith

oh well

People are actually still listening to Aerosmith?

they were still selling out arenas before steven's fall, so yes apparently some people were.

a world without aerosmith is a world im proud to call home.

band is fine shut up pplz who just hating to hate.

aerosmith are bigger than the beatles, they had their own music-themed videogame first remember

i'm not a huge aerosmith fan but i can recognize they've accomplished a lot over their careers and i think they should have earned everybodies respect. also dream on is still one of the best songs ever. final thoughts on the subject.

i'm hating because i actually hate them.

I still love Dude (Looks Like A Lady) and a few other tracks.

WHOA

surprisingly, I don't really care...

Best thing Steven Tyler's ever done: Liv Tyler

aerosmith are bigger than the beatles, they had their own music-themed videogame first remember

hahahaha

no fucking way! NO! WAY!

Best thing Steven Tyler's ever done: Liv Tyler







SO FUCKING TRUE.

This kind of came out of no where. . .

aerosmith are bigger than the beatles, they had their own music-themed videogame first remember

I second the hahahahahas

I don't think this band is relevant anymore so this isn't the worst news ever. Still, shitty for them.

Used to like them, but I really don't care now.

aerosmith are bigger than the beatles, they had their own music-themed videogame first remember

Aerosmith wishes they were anything close to the Beatles.

haha who cares

except they r way better

all-inclusive classic rock spectrum:

better > good > bad

the who/pink floyd/led zep/aerosmith/queen/CCR/GNR/Rush > acdc/yes/kiss/greenday/nirvana/alice cooper > rolling stones > beatles

NO....

FUCKING....

GAY!!!

This makes steven tyler sound like a huge douche

i just rememberd when he fell of stage thanks to this article

Fuck haters and anyone who doesn't care, Aerosmith were boss in their heyday and even their later albums have that raw fun rockin edge that's been lost for the most part in today's music. Hopefully they'll get back on track before they all die

Tyler at his douchebag best here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uXRTWuk3XM

unexpected. I don't rly care, but I wish them all luck in the future

Good news, band has always sucked.

I thought he was dead...

you think they'd be able to figure out how to make compromises with each other after 40 years as a band

Hahahahah good point^^^.

I grew up with these guys, so some nostalgic pussy side of me is shedding a tear.

When I was a kid, my dad and I used to rip on these guys while listening to GOOD classic rock.

Cool

should have happened at least 30 years ago

seriously

steven and joe perry were the most important members of the band. Steven might have contractual agreements so its hard for others to take the name aerosmith wid a new lead singer.

Besides its better steven stays indoors and drink hot choclate milk coz the winters are comin up

DONT WANNA CLOSE MY EYES!

beat his ass

i bet he's leaving to join chiodos.

Now, only if this happened before they started writing extremely horrible pop music. I mean, their 70s stuff did rock and they used to be good, but man, I am glad they are finally stopping. No more "Crazy," "Amazing," "Crying."

I liked them when I was like eleven, saw them live when I was 12-13. They were bad live. So I stopped liking them, and decided that Aerosmith just aren't good anymore. As if they still fill arenas.

wtf, he is aerosmith

^correct

"i bet he's leaving to join chiodos."

^ i lol'd

dude looks like a lady

I smell a publicity stunt

Isn't this why timbaland's album is delayed givin all his beats to tyler's solo release; move over JT

Without Stephen Tyler there is no Aerosmith.

this band is okay, and this kind of saddens me.

Finally

Is it so bad to like a popular band on this website? Really?

Aerosmith made good music, now I can't say anything about their newer works, but to see Tyler quit is still something I care about. I can't believe the amount of people who act like they don't give a shit, but in reality like this band but just want to conform to what everyone else is saying.

So dumb.

i mean they're inconsistent as hell quality-wise, but they're fun.

well I'll be damned

"aerosmith are bigger than the beatles, they had their own music-themed videogame first remember"

I won't touch it, you've made enough of an ass of yourself.

My dad was really upset when he heard this over the radio, but I don't really give a damn. Guess that means that some people care.

Aerosmith is done without Steven Tyler. That being said, Joe Perry is actually an insanely good guitar player. He absolutely shreds live.

Steven Tyler is like 90 anyway so its time for him to call it quits. And Aerosmith hasn't been relevant for quite some time.

^what?

70s Aerosmith were really good.I agree they went downhill since mid 80s,but still.....bad news.
And good god,Tyler looks like 120.

There is just too much money left in aerosmith for him to stay away forever...

oh and lol at "aerosmith are bigger than the beatles, they had their own music-themed videogame first remember"

Where did Tyler say online that he was quitting?

Not the biggest fan, their 70's output is pretty decent, but this is pretty shocking. You'd think they'd all call it quits before Steven Tyler up and decided to leave.

Nah I was expecting them to keep performing and what not until one of them died.

Kind of sucks but, like many bands their age, they're past their prime.

oh snap! didn't see that one coming

Shouldn't it read:
"Aerosmith leaves Joe Perry and a couple other musicians"???

I really don't care though. I mean, nobody actually expects them to make decent music these days, do they?

Thank god. Aerosmith sucks.

i bet he's leaving to join chiodos.

looks Like Josh Todd has a new job if he wants it
