No one shall be brought before our LORD David Bowie without the true and secret knowledge of the Photoshop. For in that time, so shall He appear.
I’m surprised they made it this long. Steven Tyler’s in his mid 70s and was still performing. Absolute rock legends, wish I would have seen them live.

Crazy how long these old farts kept rocking.

I respect them saying that they just can't do the material justice now. Better that than doing what Guns N Roses are doing - playing with a singer who clearly cannot perform the material anymore.

Bon Jovi too - absolutely shocking.

Good. Sorry but seeing mick jagger, rod stewart, and ozzy limp around the stage the last 2 decades has been demoralizing.
Liv Tyler on the other hand should keep rocking

At least they didn't change their songs for modern audiences.

Good for them. And yeah it's crazy how long these older Rock stars keep touring and performing
To be fair Steve has looked like a lesbian for over a decade

I wonder if they will sell off their catalogue or go for the digital avatar thing like KISS.
LOTTA bands out there that need to hang up their spurs but still have an audience that wants an authentic live experience. I wish there were ways to get an immersive VR concert experience from the old footage we have of bands in their prime, I suppose AI will be able to do it in the next couple of years.

KISS sucks, Aerosmith ruled the digital before anyone
(pretty sure that's earlier than '97 but whatever YouTube is a little light on the greatness that is REVOLUTION X)

No one should be allowed to perform rock music after the age of 35. It's embarrassing.

It's crazy how old these guys are. James Hetfield just turned 61. I think Maynard from Tool is like 60 as well.I’m surprised they made it this long. Steven Tyler’s in his mid 70s and was still performing. Absolute rock legends, wish I would have seen them live.

I'm gonna half agree with this. The vocalists that spend their 20s screaming rock music just don't hold up even in their 30s. Meanwhile the instrumentalists can stay as good or better indefinitely or at least until arthritis hits.

It's crazy not only how old Metallica and Guns N Roses and Bon Jovi, etc. are - who are all roughly the same age, but how old Dave Grohl is - Nirvana seemed to come from a totally different era but he's practically the same age - 55.

I've always been fascinated by Aerosmith because they were a big rock band in the early- to mid-70s. Then they didn't do shit for nearly 15 years before becoming relevant again in the late 80s/early 90s. And from there they continued putting out hits through the early 00s with Just Push Play.

Not yet, but Steven told them to go fuck themselves after they censored him flashing the shocker in the pre-show.

I don’t think anyone’s doing it before the age of 35.

I think the Paris Disney was being earmarked for getting re-themed to be something to do with Marvel.
Fun ride though, glad I got to catch it as an Aerosmith ride.
EDIT: Reopened in 2022 as an Avengers themed ride:

Good on them for retiring instead of going the lip syncing route like the eagles ( Don Henley looking at you).

What an incredible band, one of the loudest, best sounding bands of all time.

Saw them at a festival in 2010 and walked away after about half an hour. Never been for me, but undoubtedly a shame for those in the UK who hadn't had the opportunity to see them here for the last 7 years and now won't.
Really 35? That is rather young. Hell most musicians dont even make it big until late 20's if they are lucky enough to make it.

Everything about that pre-ride bit is genius. The bad acting, the anticipation, the way it sets the stage for the ride itself. One of the great line queue experiences. Hogwarts castle is another great one, of course its like a 45 minute wait at least.
