Steven Tyler Injures Vocal Cord; Aerosmith Reschedules Some Shows

Let's hope this is a one-off situation and doesn't spiral out of control. Aerosmith has postponed a bunch of shows because Steven Tyler hurt a vocal cord on Saturday night. Apparently the cord is bleeding so he obviously can't sing. The list of canceled (and already rescheduled) shows is below. Aerosmith will be off the road for 30 days.

You'll recall a big hunk of the Deuces Are Wild Las Vegas residency was scrapped because Steven was ill or hurt. Now this.

Tesla, 'S.O.S. (Too Bad)' - New Video

Happy football Sunday! Tesla covered Aerosmith on their most recent album Full Throttle Live. The band just released a video of the cover of "S.O.S. (Too Bad)" and it's really great! Also, I want that Aerosmith shirt that Tesla frontman Jeff Keith is rocking. 😍😍

"S.O.S. (Too Bad)" is on the Aerosmith album Get Your Wings. It's a hardcore Aero fan favorite for a reason - it's amazing live!

Aerosmith Kick Off 'Peace Out' Farewell Tour

Aerosmith's "Peace Out" tour is officially underway. The goodbye trek started last night in Philadelphia and reviews, photos, videos and the setlist are all popping up online. I'm gonna need "Last Child" and some other swaps by the time my show rolls around in January:

Edit this setlist | More Aerosmith setlists

The intro video and stage look badass - but you'll have that when there's endless money to go around! Look how close some fans are to the band when the show starts! This setup is way more in-the-round than originally advertised.

And look how happy the band is - they are all smiles. 

Some really close photos from a Redditor lucky enough to be in the pit:

Few shots from the Philly show tonight.

The Wells Fargo Center Instagram also has some awesome concert shots that show the crowd and a fuller stage view. I am excited to say the least!

22 Semis For Upcoming Aerosmith Tour!

Aerosmith's farewell tour starts in just a few days. The band posted a little behind-the-scenes info yesterday to social media.

Details: this will be the band's biggest tour production ever. In fact, 22 semis will carry the load of rigging points, lights, and heaps of equipment. I can't wait to see the videos pop up online of the first shows. Especially since my tour stop isn't until January!

Aerosmith At Woodstock '94 - Full Performance

T.G.I.F in the biggest way possible!

Thanks to Reddit - I found the video below! Woodstock '94 had about an zillion awesome headline acts. One of them was Aerosmith and I was so devastated that I was way too young to attend this festival. I remember watching the whole thing on MTV the entire weekend it was happening. I will say the rain and mud didn't look too fun, but there is no doubt that '94 was way better than the catastrophe that was Woodstock '99.

Aerosmith Announces New Greatest Hit Package

Aerosmith has announced another greatest hits package. This one happens to come in many configuration options, including vinyl. For example, here's one description:

The Super Deluxe Limited Edition boasts—for the first time ever—44 tracks spanning Aerosmith's five-decade career on 180g custom color vinyl. Featuring "Dream On," "Walk This Way," "Sweet Emotion," "Crazy," "Cryin'," "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing," and many more! Stunning live photography and band photos across their entire career in premium book-style sleeves, plus four black and white lithographs.

I was of course tempted to immediately pre-order the new mega deluxe vinyl package, but really there's no point. With no new tracks, I don't see the value since I have all the records (except Get A Grip, which I'll be ordering). I think I'll hold out for a deluxe, vinyl collection of rarities. You know there's tons of stuff in the Aerosmith vaults, just waiting for release.

But Who Killed Tony Soprano?

Ok, this new video with Steven Tyler and Chris Robinson promoting the Aerosmith / Black Crowes tour is pretty funny. I'm here for this content. I hope we get more videos as the months march toward the tour kickoff.

Also, don't tell me who killed Tony Soprano. I've never seen a single episode of The Sopranos and I might watch it all someday. Maybe.
