Who Could Sing For Aerosmith?

Are people making serious suggestions? I was joking!

No "name" singer out there could adequately fill in for Tyler.

Maybe there is an unknown somewhere but who knows ...

Tom Keifer can't even sing for his own band. I doubt he's ready to scream "I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK, Back in the saddle again".

Jason McMaster is an interesting choice.

Yeah, good paycheck for Nuno. I was just thinking he'd joined her band or something.

This guy.

Yeah, Joe Perry found out he was dead before he had a chance. The band throught his voice would be perfect for Janie's Got A Gun.

Theres a guy I think who could do it you might have heard of him his name is

Steven Tyler

I know MG started this thread as a fun thread and etc but to replace Steven Tyler is foolish at best, no Steven Tyler no Aerosmith.

Well of course, this is all hypothetical. Without Steven Tyler, it'd be an absolute mockery for them to tour as Aerosmith. Maybe they could do a Heaven & Hell thing, at best.

the fat lady. end that damn thing.

First off change the name, secondly get back to that Yardbirds meets JB's gritty heavy funky r&b metal they used to make and thirdly get Lisa Kekaula from the Bellrays to sing.

Tyler's has always been trying to sound like a black woman...........why not get the real thing!

Adam Lambert so Metal Rob continue his never ending man crush for the former American Idol contestant.

This is hilarious because I can actually see this happening.

Here's an even better idea - the band gets A&E's Intervention show to join them in confronting Steven Tyler about his drug use - better for the fans than Rock Star: Aerosmith!

Believe it or not, the guy from White Stripes could come close. I heard their live cover of Dolly Parton's "Jolene" without knowing who it was and thought it was Steven Tyler. I kept looking for an mp3 of it (I thought it was cool) but couldn't find it as Aerosmith or Steven. I later found out it was the White Stripes. He really has the vibe of Tyler's lower register in that cover.

Man, how could we miss the perfect choice - the Chocolate Rain man himself : Tay Zonday !

This topic got moved to the Dead Zone? Huh. Ok.

Wesley Willis.

Or possibly Thor.

i dont think anyone could fill Steven tylers shoes. him and joe perry are the real nucleus of that band

Interesting and have nothing against Lenny Kravitz, but no.



The Pulse of Radio reports:
The current issue of Rolling Stone magazine features an in-depth look at the rift between Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler and the rest of the band, including interviews with guitarists Joe Perry and Brad Whitford, plus drummer Joey Kramer, in which they speak openly about their relationship with Tyler and their plans for the band's future. The most surprising comment, however, may come from former Geffen Records executive John Kalodner, who oversaw Aerosmith's late eighties comeback and some of their biggest albums, such as "Permanent Vacation" and "Pump."
When asked who could possibly take over as lead singer in the band, Kalodner says, "I was talking to Marti Frederiksen about this because he co-wrote 'Jaded' and worked with them for ten years or so. We were talking about how no one can replace Steven Tyler, but the only person he said — and I agreed with — that could even make Aerosmith anything would be Lenny Kravitz."
But, Kalodner added, "If you're asking me, is there Aerosmith without Steven Tyler, my answer is no. And if Steven Tyler goes solo, my answer is no."
Nevertheless, the rest of Aerosmith have publicly announced their intentions to look for a new singer while Tyler takes his proposed two-year break to work on "Brand Tyler." Whitford told The Pulse of Radio that the band is open to taking a new direction. "You're never gonna fill the shoes of Steven Tyler," he said. "Not even possible. So we're not even thinking in terms of filling his shoes. But there may be some people willing to try, and hopefully we do something creative with it, you know, and not just go out there and be like an Aerosmith cover band, you know what I mean?"
Tyler has been estranged from the band since August, when he fell from a stage in South Dakota and forced the group to cancel the rest of its summer tour.
The other members have revealed that Tyler has his own management, and that none of them have had any contact with him in months. Whitford and Kramer have hinted that they think Tyler might be using drugs again.
The Rolling Stone article also hints at musical differences between Tyler, who prefers to record radio-friendly pop hits, and the rest of the band, who want to get back to their harder-rocking roots.
Joe Perry is touring with his own band, The Joe Perry Project, and will perform on CBS-TV's "Late Show With David Letterman" on Friday, December 11th.

Has Steven made any comments on this yet? Seems like he's been pretty quiet since he made that brief appearance on-stage with Joe. I haven't heard him dispute all these accusations of falling off the wagon.

Interesting.

Unfortunately, he's probably too high to comment right now!
