Steven Tyler, 'Red, White & You' -- New Track

Steven Tyler just released a new track from his upcoming country album. The track is called "Red, White & You." I'm just not a country-music person, so I can't get into this. I don't understand Steven's desire to make country music, but more power to him. It's none of my business to criticize his creative goals... but when you're the frontman of Aerosmith, it's just hard to swallow. What do you think?

Boy, did this guy jump the shark. How far we have come from "Round And Round" from "Toys in the Attic", and I don't mean that in a good way.

Please Steven, "No More No More"......

You know that Run and D.M.C. are shaking their heads, thinking: "And we thought it would be a good idea to hook-up with this loon?!!?"

That said, here is some advice: short Skittles stock. You will make a bundle. Thank me later.

First of all, it is not country. Although it does fall right in line with the inane pap that makes up most of country radio right now.

Secondly, it's just a horrendous song, which means it should fit in nicely with the vomit-inducing cacophonous din masquerading as music on mainstream country radio right now.

Hahaha!!!, Cheapseats nailed it! You've summed it up better than I ever could.

I actually have a ton of Country Standards that mostly crossed over into the Pop Standards category, i.e. Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, etc., and you're right, this ain't country!

If Tyler had gone Country Rock a la Gram Parsons and The Stones, I would have viewed it as a legitimate move but this inauthentic Pseudo Country crap that's been coming out of Nashville for the last decade and longer he's now also churning out just plain s*cks! LCD: Lowest Common Denominator!

Look, it's not like Tyler needs the money! Why the h*ll such a talent would decide to follow in the steps of The Reigning King of Mediocrity, Brett Michaels, is beyond comprehension. I mean, many grass-fed Organic Steaks can one eat in a lifetime?

Yee-Haw, all you f*ckin' Hicks out there pretending to be Heavy Metallerz! Say "Howdy" to Brett Michaels when you arrive at Mediocrity City!

With Crüe gone and Aerosmith on the rocks instead of making "Rocks", only Guns n' Roses can save us! Let us pray to The Metal Gods, Gn'R complete the deal correctly and get Stradlin and/or Clarke plus Adler and/or Sorum and pull it off in Vegas and Coachella to keep the Nightrain rollin' through a town near you.

This guy. Lmao

I have no problems with artists doing what they want, and it's obvious Steven doesn't need the money...But c'mon, at least try to put some quality music out there, no matter what the genre is. Dave Grohl is a great example of that, Love him or hate him, anything he's put out has been pretty good, durable, and has had substance, whether it be Nirvana, Foo Fighters, or his newest project Teenage Time Killers (give it a chance, it's pretty killer, one of my favorite albums last year). Metalboy! You are absolutely right that GNR can save us all from this hole rock n roll has gotten over the last few years, and more specifically the last few months...I know only a semi reunion has been announced, but Sorum or Adler would be cool, and I'm honestly blown away that Izzy isn't involved, although it might be his own decision.

This is awesome. Shows what a great talent Mr Tyler has. Ive been waiting for this and cant wait to get the album. Been waiting for this and the new Def Lep. I guess Def Lep is not out yet because i havent heard jack squat about it from anyone. But back to Steven i can remember when we were snorting whiskey and drinking cocaine i told him he should leave those other assholes and start a country band and call it TYLER and yes u guessed it, all in chrome letters. It took a while but looks like he finally did it. Cant hardly wait for the tour. Hope he takes my other advice and wears Robert Redfords outfit from the Electric Horseman. This will be the top act of 2016. Watch out !!!!!

[Metalboy!]

Hahaha!!!, BADLAND (in Chrome Letters)... Robert Redford's outfit from "Electric Horseman"! Troll on, fool.

[Him]

You had me spitting up my drink, Badland. That was a perfect post!

If the world was a fair place, Tyler would receive a knock at his door. Upon opening it, he would be slapped by Charlie Pride. Mission accomplished, Pride would turn, and without saying a word, saunter back whence he came.

[Jack T. Ripper]

Badland, you are AWESOME dude! Tyler in CHROME letters!!!!

[Ed]

I like Steven Tyler disappointed he would do this sounds terrible.
