Is it April fool or something?Aerosmith as a credible relevant act were finished a decade ago, if not longer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At least ACDC and Motorhead are still putting out high quality product and Motorhead tour Europe unfailingly, but this mob are just a fucking piss poor nostalgia act and if that is the strength and calibre of headliner the promoters are aiming for then dont see much future for the festival,which would be a real shame!!!!At this rate fucking Ozzy will be getting added next!!!!!Personally i think the Sonisphere bill beats everything else hands down!!!!!
Poison and Thunder blew them off the stage in 90,they certainly aint going to fare any better now!!!!

Assuming that they’ll be headlining on the Sunday night, and having seen them three times before, I’ll be well on my way home by the time they hit the stage as I don’t want to witness yet another tired performance. Besides haven’t they got a new singer…SUNNY MANN!

Saaid couldnt agree more.

Perry and Tyler have made up some bullsh*t story about how they are not getting on and that Perry has auditioned singers (that would never fit – now we know why!) and that the band is close to meltdown and then….Oh we are OK and will perform at Download.

Great PR which is obviously needed by a band that hasnt released anything new (not honkin’ on hobo) since 2001 and cant give away tickets in the US for $10.

Asmith-please play Rats, Lord of the Thighs, and if anything ‘new’ has to be played make it ‘fever’ and fine!

AC/DC & AEROSMITH. Superb!! Gutted we didn’t get Van Halen but I appreciate Download must appeal to everyone and RATM are a probably the best in their genre. I’m also very happy with Billy Idol being added. Now give us some W.A.S.P., Airbourne, Steel Panther, Buckcherry & Motley Crue… Hell, I don’t ask for much… What about Metallica checking their ego’s in at the door and supporting AC/DC in a re-run of 1991?? Make it happen D’load!!

I don’t think for one second the strange, twisted saga of Aerosmith is over yet. I don’t see this as a reunion, it is simply Aerosmith doing what it always does – making decisions based on dollars. If they have to have Tyler there to get this payday then they will. Don’t read into it too much yet, folks.

There is going to be way more to this story before it’s all out there, trust me . . .
