after peoples rants about bon jovi on american idol

[mrlee]

why do i not see any rants about joe perry, and green day appearing on the show being posted?

as much as it was a pleasant surprise to see perry, and him playing the beatles song sent shivers down my spine, i need to know why is no one typing "SELL OUT" everywhere?

[Wheres Izzy]

Wow. I love Aerosmith but that is lame. I had no idea he appeared cause I have never seen the show. I think it's the death of art. But as far as Aerosmith goes I learned to deal with that a long time ago. There's really 2 Aerosmiths. The Band in the seventies that were all about making some of the most amazing rock music ever and then there's the band from the mid eighties on. Not that Pump and Get a Grip aren't great albums it's just that the band has admittedly said in interviews that alot of their writing has to do with what they think will sell and what will get played on music video stations. At this point after seeing them throw dream on into car commercials and them appearing in GAP ads and that god awful song from armageddon no one ranted about it because it probably wasn't all that shocking. Green Day appearing is pretty lame too.

[mrlee]

well. i love all of aerosmiths songs 87 till 94.

Thats my fav era by them, best live performances too.

the 70s stuff is ok, but doesnt have full on album listens for me.

after get a grip.....they arnt a rock band.

Really? Have you ever istened to all of Rocks? Just curious because I think it's one of the greatest albums ever made.

[NicoRourke]

Aouch ? He was playing while the AI people were singing ?

At least Bon Jovi didn't. I'm happy / disapointed that BJ went there.

Happy because it's good exosure for the Lost Highway and back catalogue material

Disapointed because it's a stupid fucking show that I hate

Aeroshit have been nothing but corporate whores for the last 20 years...no big surprise there.

i grew up listening to there 80s stuff richardnixon, they hold more memories for me, i didnt discover there 70s stuff till much later, and i personally preffer the 80s stuff.

[Robman?]

Aerosmith has always written great songs in all eras, even now. I thought Sedona Sunrise was a great song.

I made fun of D cuz he was going on a big sellout binge when supernova had their show...so when BonJovi was on Idol i had to say something i dont give a crap if people appear on those shows or not

[Hammy]

i dont give a crap if people appear on those shows or not

Exactly i mean really people complain about anything, i mean hell as a GN'R fan i think a lot of Axl's hero's aren't to good, never been much of an Elton John or Queen fan but i don't let that bother me it doesn't affect his music.  If artists wants to go on these shows and make some more money then fine, people are happy to sit back and say oh i'd never do that, well hell when the cheque's is waved in your face i'm sure many would change their minds.  Ultimately though it's the music that counts i would rather pick up a sellouts CD which i enjoy listening to than someone who stays true to their roots, never sells out and releases boring, crap with no enjoyable aspects, if an artist releases a good album i'll buy it whether they appear on American Idol, Baywatch, Buffy....who the hell cares   People complain about the music industry especially pop being all about image and looks, well it seems it's the same with rock and metal, go on the wrong show and even if your music is good your fans go crazy....

According to Bill Bateman, Guns N Roses did the Freddie Mercury tribute concert to unite for a common cause. The band was warning the world about one of the most dangerous diseases of all time - thier macho image was needed to spread the message that AIDS can affect everybody.
