Just shut the fuck up, smile for the camera, and collect your paycheck. Its not like any of these old bags are making art in the studio anymore. Just play your hits and go back to your limos, assholes you mean like GNR? no ... glad other bands still love what they do and don t do it for a huge paycheck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this is true or not? I mean haven't all the members have something wrong with them from time to time. The guys are in their 70's. Your bodies don't hold up well at their age. All the shit they did when they were younger, gets you when you're older. Who is the drummer now? Honestly, never liked Aerosmith and still don't like them Of all the rock bands out there to appear on the Grammys this is who they pick? Come on! BTW, heard an ex Grammy person talking about how some of the grammys awards are fixed. lol Maybe Kanya was right! Yeah the band claims he couldn’t play well anymore after the injury, but Joey himself claims this isn’t true, from what I gather. Yeah, all the members have sustained injuries time and time again for the last ten years, mostly due to their age now. That being said, drumming is usually the hardest thing to maintain once you get older, hence why drummers are usually the first to either be fired (like Black Sabbath) or retire (like Rush). Sounds like the current drummer is still John Douglas, who has also been their drum tech for a long time now, I recently read. i think the Grammys invited them cause this year is the band’s 50th anniversary.

Lio Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 It all sounds familiar. They say he didn't show up for rehearsals at times. They say he isn't emotionally and physically ready. He says he is. However this pans out, taking them to court doesn't seem to bode well for his future in Aerosmith. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I feel bad for Joey having been an original member for 50 years, but I don't think the legal route is going to work. I mean, if he wins, he shows up to rehearsal and says "hey guys, a judge ordered you to let me back into the band." I'm sure that won't be awkward.

rocknroll41 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Didn’t Slipknot’s original drummer also get kicked out for being “no longer able to play the songs anymore,” or something to that effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paraphrasing: The grammy performances are too soon for the band to rehearse with Joey. So his demand is deemed unreasonable. Additionally, as Joey himself acknowledged, the bands written legal documents do not specifically address this type of a scenario. So there is no easy way to display any clear wrong doing with the bands actions (in the legal sense).

Apparently Joey did have to sit out some dates last fall, I’m reading, and they had a substitute for those shows, but I can’t find any info on who that substitute drummer even was. Are there any Aerosmith experts on here who can shed some light please? John Douglas, his drum tech.

chevelle Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Bands should really fucking hang it up before it comes to the point where they're publicly eating each other alive in their old age. These dudes are all at or nearing their 70s, do they really need MORE money that badly? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I suppose it is because the drummer is the easiest person to eradicate when the other greedy buggers want to increase their fortune. Even if they have him on a salary, you'd have to pay a Kramer, a Criss or a Ward more than you would have to pay a Johnny Schmuck who has been roped in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they have to pay him either way, whether he's performing or not, as he is a 20% shareholder. 12 hours ago, Stiff Competition said: No, it was later than that. I saw him with them in June.

JONEZY Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Maybe they have been trying to get rid of him for years. Making too much money for songs that he didn't write, etc...? Kind of like Michael Anthony and Van Halen. They screwed him over. Just a thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I guess since Joey can't play anymore, the band felt it was best to let him go. I mean if you see Aerosmith and they sound like shit it would suck for every fan. But these guys have been together for a long time and through drugs and cancer too. Guess Joey isn't the drummer he used to be. Sucks all around. I know the judge voted in the band's favor, but at least Joey will still get royalties from the albums he's on. On 1/23/2020 at 6:38 AM, DieselDaisy said: Peter Criss also. Peter Criss wasn't a good drummer at all. Also his drug abuse was a nono for KISS. Same with Steven. We all know he can't play anymore and his drug abuse was so bad. As for Matt, he and Axl never got along, so that's why he was out. By then, Axl had fired Slash and Izzy left and so did Duff, so why should Matt stay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Steven still sounds pretty good at his own solo shows, imo, but that’s probably just cause he only plays AFD material, for the most part. I have a hard time picturing him on most UYI and CD stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
