So Rolling Stone Magazine is saying that you are in rehab. That’s great, lovely, wonderful. I’m glad that you are getting help. But you’re still a tool, and you have a lot to answer for.
Aerosmith had been together for 39 years until you decided to quit the band. What, did you decide that you didn’t like your bandmates? Do you think you can do better on your own? Do you think anybody cares?
Look, Aerosmith hasn’t been very good for years. You guys have been putting out half-dead radio friendly (not in a good way) stuff since the 90s. You even performed at the Superbowl with N Sync and Britney Spears! What the hell?
Even your blues album, Honkin on Bobo, was a disappointment, lacking the badassitude of your earlier music and replacing it with a soulless fake swagger.
At the same time, Joe Perry has been putting out great music on his own. Is this what inspired you to ditch the band?
This is what pissed me off: You said that you were taking time off to work on “Brand Tyler.” I don’t think a douchier, more “sold out” line has even been spoken. It’s like South Park’s “Reach for the Skyler,” except its real.
Now, according to Rolling Stone, you are saying that you never said that, and that you never quit. Why should we believe you over your own bandmates? You were probably too doped up to remember what you said anyway.
I know plenty of drug addicts, former and current. I sympathize for what you are going through. Of course, there have always been drugs in music, going all the way back to the Mississippi Delta. That does not excuse you for saying such awful things and then denying them. It certainly does not excuse you for putting out mediocre music for the last 20 years. You think we will take you back? Dream On.
