> Why not pick on Aerosmith...I won't, I just ignore 'em. > > This is a house where we have no problem stayin' up late watching Stones > bootleg dvds...hehehehe as a Bostonian- I was raised on Aerosmith from that first album on---they always co-existed nicely, thoughout the 70's, with Iggy, Dolls, punk, prog---they downright RULED right alongside Ozzy Sabbath. Hell, I even LOVE Night In The Ruts(a wicked a LOT!) and ROCK IN A HARD PLACE(just alot). After that? Well, I'm with you, have to say.....once the brought in Desmond Child, etc, it's like desperate Aerosmith fans would swallow up any riff Perry offered up. (same applies to many Stones fans since, say, 1980, come to think of it...this one included) That said, I still pick up each and ever album of theirs hoping, hoping, hoping and get burned. Goes back to what I said about Ryan Adams, I suppose.....gotta pay to play the big payoff. Jamie said: Since 1989 he's put out three live albums, three 'best of' packages, two orchestral releases (and a re-issue of the Thrillington wank), two rock and roll oldies discs, a trance dance record and only three *original* pop albums. Sounds like a lot, but the miss ratio vs. hit ratio is nearly 99%. Excuse my vitriole, but I am a huge McCartney fan and I just want to bitch slap him for giving up... I Sez: Not really thought about his output in this context, Jaime....very, very good point! With all the above artists, Roll, no Rawk, Bruce @ Not Lame
