I haven't paid any attention to Aerosmith (for the most part) since Permanent Vacation.

I gave up on Aerosmith after Get a Grip. That was the beginning of the descent into being a Rock Bollards band.

Well, that pretty much goes without saying, but I'd have been semi-interested in seeing them live, performing their good material. I'd have no interest in seeing them with some replacement singer, which, as cheesy as they are now, they'd probably handpick from the contestants on some kind of competetive reality show. I can see it now, Joe Perry and Brad Whitford sitting behind a judge's table, Joe scratching his chin thoughtfully as he watches some 20-year-old American Idol reject in leather pants with a trendy haircut belting out some terrible rendition of "Dream On." Remember "Rockstar INXS?" I can totally see Aerosmith trying some nonsense like that.

I've seen em twice, once on the Get a Grip tour, and once at Donnington Monsters of Rock around about the same time.

They were amazing both times, I met Steve Vai who was supporting and Steven Tyler after the first gig and got them to sign my guitar and some records.

Awesome night.

While its a sad story that Steven Tyler has quit, the band itself hasn't done anything worthwhile for nearly 10 years now. They should quit while they are still somewhat relevant.
