Joe Perry: Steven Tyler has quit Aerosmith - Friday, Nov. 6, 2009 | 4:03 p.m. - Las Vegas Sun
So, apparently Steven Tyler has 'quit' Aerosmith.
First,
Why would a band like that even say things like "quit"? They could just stop playing. Maybe if Brad Whitford "quit", they could get a replacement. But if the lead guy "quits", it's quits.
Since Steven Tyler broke his shoulder at Sturgis, they cancelled recording plans and Joe Perry went into the studio and recorded a solo album. Now he is touring on that album.
But Steven Tyler has been seen "sitting in" with Joe Perry's band as recently as last night.
IMO it's a publicity stunt, since they don't have a record in the can and need to stay at the top of the soup while they figure out what to do.
Blah Blah Blah.
