Old rockers never die 8) 8) so far you are quite right its the yoing ones you worry about Title: Re: Boot Polish Post by: Albie on November 12, 2009, 08:12:35 AM Hasn't Steve Tyler been ill? I thought I heard the band were thinking of playing some gigs without him. Or am I having a senior moment and getting confused and it was really about someone called Dave Taylor?

Or am I having a senior moment and getting confused and it was really about someone called Dave Taylor? There was talk about him leaving Aerosmith (or at least 'temporarily' replaced like Jon Anderson in Yes), due to the injuries he sustained when he recently fell offstage, and his bandmates even went so far as to say he'd left, but apparently it's not true. Title: Re: Boot Polish Post by: Albie on November 12, 2009, 12:06:52 PM Ah yes, he fell, that was it.
I like the idea of Chuck Berry touring at 83. Hard to imagine him as a grumpy old man. ::) Title: Re: Boot Polish Post by: ThomA on November 12, 2009, 03:43:40 PM He's playing up the road from me in Limehouse shortly. I'm quite tempted; I saw BB King (who is a similar age) a couple of years ago, and he still has a hell of a voice, and the guitar chops are still there, even if he has to play sitting down

Title: Re: Boot Polish Post by: Ian W. on November 14, 2009, 11:01:01 PM I saw Chuck Berry 3/4 years ago and he was still great.
Jerry Lee Lewis, who was on the same bill, however was a big disappointment. |
