Aerosmith bassist recovering from cancer treatment

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton is recovering from radiation treatment for throat cancer and will skip the beginning of the band's upcoming tour, the band's publicist said.

Hamilton, 55, will be recovering with his family after a seven-week radiation treatment he just completed, publicist Marcee Rondan said Thursday. He will join the "Route of All Evil" tour in mid-October.

Rondan said she had no further information about Hamilton's condition.

David Hull, a longtime friend of the band who played in the Joe Perry Project, will fill in as bassist, she said.

The tour is set to launch September 5 in Columbus, Ohio, according to the band's Web site.

Hamilton has played with the band since its inception in 1969, according to the Web site.

There are no drums in Bluegrass.

Yeah yeah, it's not really bluegrass, just Joe Perry's guitar sounds like it.

Didn't want to call it acoustic, because they obviously attempted to give it a bluegrass flavor.

Changing title to acoustic.

Thats awsome, thanks for posting rock2

But not all that acoustic...

What are you talking about? That's an acoustic Joe Perry is playing.

It's either a resonator (dobro) or an archtop guitar.

Youre right, first time I listened it sounded more like an electric without distortion

Great show this was.

Awesome semi-acoustic version of Can't Stop Messin', proof that Joe Perry is a superb guitarist and performer. MUST SEE:

Best version of Livin' on the Edge, better than the album version:

Cryin', decent acoustic version:

Steve Tyler is awesome.

He's still got it going on big-time. He looks and sounds amazing.

That's one of the few bands I've never seen live - and I'd really like to.

But did you see the lame fans at the front? The ones just standing there hardly moving to the music - as if they were watching a college professor give a lecture? :monkey:

You have no idea how brilliant Aerosmith are live, it's something you have to see unfold right in front of you to believe.

He really epitomizes cool when he's on stage. He is so damn entertaining to watch it's hard to believe.

Few guitarists outshine the frontmen on stage, and Joe is right up there with Townsend.

One of, if not my favorite guitarists ever. I saw Aerosmith last year in Columbus, and I was kind of surprised that I found myself paying more attention to Joe than Steven. Both of them are great entertainers, but like you said Adnan, "Joe epitomizes cool on stage." He really does get the crowd involved and he uses the catwalks just as much as Steven. He also did the thing with his shirt that Malicious Matt is talking about at the end of Draw the Line at the show I went to. Overall, he's one of the greatest live guitarists that I have ever seen.

He's great. There's a part in the Rockin' The Joint doubledisc where he takes off his shirt and smacks his guitar with it. And it still sounds good! The man is amazing.

(ps. If this doesnt sound cool to you, go buy the damn dvd)

DUDE right when I saw this topic, I was gonna say something about that part in the DVD! He's so fuckin cool through that entire show! I haven't gotten the chance to see Aerosmith live... :anger: ...but I can only imagine how cool it would be to see him LIVE. And Steven of course :wub: .

Screw Aerosmith and any other band that wants me to pay $400 to see them.

Frankly, I'm shocked at what some people are saying about the ticket prices for the MC/Aero shows, there are shows that aren't sold out yet where the most expensive tickets are a $125 which is reasonable as far as I'm concerned.

You must be thinking of tickets NOT from ticketmaster.

For the Columbus show:

New England:

Nashville:

$150 for both bands is the highest it goes, and it's most regularly $125.
