Steven Tyler left Aerosmith ?



aeroAerosmith has a lot of fans in Japan too. Their first break was in late 1970′s in Japan when they released Album, Rocks, and some hit songs like Draw the line, or Walk this way. When they were popular then, Kiss and Queen were also competing the top popularity with Aerosmith. 

Although Kiss and Queen are finished the best band time already, Aerosmith is still popular as a live band after extreme up and down experience after the big time in Japan.

When Run DMC released the Rap version of Walk This Way, Aerosmith is already sleeping in a grave for music fans.  With the trigger of revitalization for Zombie in the grave by Run DMC,  Aerosmith once again came back from their grave with some big hit songs. They have no longer been Zombie in the music grave.

Today, we got a surprising news.  Joe Perry seems to have commented Steven Tyler already quit Areosmith !

I’m not a very  big fan of them, so I can not suppose the relation between Joe and Steven, but I know how Japanese fans feel. 

Probably Aerosmith is more popular than Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin in Japan. Many fans still remember their big hit songs in their mind.  If this news is a truth, at least I know some friends around me feel really down.

But I think Aerosmith will come back with Steven even if Steven really leaves the band. It’s a zombie image band, which means they will come back again and again whatever happens on them.

I think Steven Tyler is now playing out of the grave like free zombie, but he will surely come back to Aerosmith when he needs to vacuum the SOUL.  SOUL is of course the SOUL of Music, which is still alive ( or can’t die yet ) in Aerosmith.
