How about Corpsegrinder?

death metal is so much better than all this washed up radio rock. Cannibal Corpse rules

I'd be up for some AeroHagar

gotta agree saw vanhagar in 1995 he has a great live voice...

Corpsegrinder is too mainstream for Aerosmith

How bout SammySmith.

They should have got the Crypt Keeper from Tales from the Crypt, no one would have noticed if they threw a few scarfs on the guy.

steven taylor is aerosmith. is like having metallica with no hetfield or slayer with no araya.

look what happened to sepultura ... ;)

Agreed. another example of how the singer is the voice and fave of a band. You can usually replace any other member and do ok but its extremely difficult to replace a singer and have the same success.

Ummm thay said they were thinking about renaming the band... Not have him replace Steve Tyler.

Savage Animal? :)

Would of been cool to hear something from them both. We'll never know now..

Lemmy would have been better than Sammy or Steven.

... a cool collaboration. There's some Aerosmith songs I can't see Hagar doing, but others would have been interesting.

You couldn't have called it Aerosmith though, it definitely would have needed a fresh name.

LOL the trolls can't make sarcastic remarks about Sammy making 'pop ballads' on an Aerosmith story can they? At least Sammy writes his own ballads, doesn't buy them from Diane Warren & Desmond Child!

2 wrongs don't make a right.

How is Sammy writing lyrics to Eddie's music "wrong"? Get over yourself. Putting labels like pop, fluff, and other nonsense is childish.

you're the one getting all uptight my metal friend. I'm sure Desmond Child and Diane Warren fans out here might tell you the same, get over yourself. Seriously, what the hell's the difference between Angel, or Dreams? Both are incredibly sappy, and cheesy, no? get over yourself I retort! . Because YOU like Sammy but not Desmond Child. No difference in the ballads. The cheese-o-meter's maxed at 10 on both artists, in this case.

and I like Asmith and vintage VH. Even like some of Aerosmith's 70's ballads. Can't get behind "don't wanna miss a thing" OR "love walks in" for that matter. I would assume Diane Warren did write those Hagar ballads.

I won't label the those songs, other than putting them in my personal category of "major sellout suckage". Rock, Pop, Fluff metal, doesn't matter, sucking is sucking.

Fine, as long as you acknowledge it's only your opinion. I wouldn't agree that they are the same, because Eddie had written those songs as full songs. They have synths, and are catchy. So they get labeled as pop crap. Pop music had never been successful and synths hadn't rule the airwaves, would they have been considered crap? What's the difference between writing a simple catchy song structure on a guitar or with a synth?

It's true the lyrics are simple, Hagar has never written with as much personality as Roth, but guess what? 99% of artists are like that. Less 'commercial' hard rock acts like Foreigner and Bad Company wrote the same bland souless lyrics, made for easy radio consumption. Hagar's clicheness actually made them more unique then most other artists.

of course its opinion, as we both know, 5150 sold through the roof. That stuff was huge, as was Starship, .38 Special, and Poison.

Because Eddie wrote them, doesn't mean they can't be bad. (and I'm a huge EVH fan)...and in my "humble" opinion, you CAN write a simple catchy song, but when you add electronic drums, keytars, a generic solo, write lyrics like "we'll get higher and higher, baby dry your eyes, because thats what dreams are made of", it jumps the shark, no? Eddie's solo in Dreams is Eddie trying to be flashy, he sounds like his own copy cats.

and like I said, I like Ballads, but the "power" ballad has all those elements that make it cheesy. Dated. Those VH songs are SO 1986. it could have been on Miami Vice.

the last paragraph is true, but that's why I don't listen to a lot of Foreigner(and they have some decent early stuff). Bad Co is flat out over played, their lyrics may be generic but sound like Dylan compared to Hagar...in any case, if 50% of those artist are like that, listen to the other 50% There's so much GOOD music to torcher yourself listening to Dreams or I can't drive 55. Its like forcing yourself to like Brussel Sprouts. :) cheers.

Not sure why this is newsworthy again all of the sudden.
They Had To get Steven Tyler back. There is no Aerosmith without Steven Tyler singing. It's a bit like The Stones without Mick Jagger. Impossible, or just an awful idea.

To Aeroshit or chickenshit, that is the question.

Joe Perry having to play I Can't Drive 55 or Sam trying to rap Walk This Way.

I could see Sammy doing a ripping version of Lightning Strikes... and maybe some tracks from Done With Mirrors... My Fist, Your Face, Shela,... sonically, it might work, but the reality is it would never work. There is no Aerosmith without Tyler, that is for certain.

That would be like Queensryche replacing Geoff Tate.....oh wait.

Sammy was great in Montrose,and also on his own, But he ruined Van Halen and he would have ruined Aerosmith.......

is a Steven Tyler clone...

Aerosmith should quit making albums and just tour these days.

Hangman Jury was the last great Aerosmith song and that was 1987.

Next time Stevie Ty jumps the boat for a reality show ( soon, i'm sure ) they should still make some music together..just don't call it Aerosmith. AeroHagar or SammySmith, yup!! For those who don't think he can do "Walk this Way", you never heard him do "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party!)". Ok, it wasn't perfect..but considering his age, impressive!


Say what you will about Sammy but for his voice, and work ethic to hold up as it has in his 60s is impressive. More impressed with him than with Ozzy, Stones or anyone else in his age group. I'd still take classic Sabbath and Stones over any Sammy stuff but he has aged better.

This sight is so funny.........You Sammy Hagar freaks should start calling him Mr American Idol. Next post.....Sammy replaces Geddy Lee......LOL.....what a laughing stock this world has become

Sammy is also in line to be in INXS.

I heard he is up for the part of Paul Stanley in Kiss...

Take the song Source Of Infection and just listen to those lame ass phoned in lyrics and then tell me all about his work ethic. Dave could've made that song a classic in 5 minutes. If you can't see where I'm coming from then you truly don't understand Van Halen or they're history.

As compared to Drop Dead Legs?

Just because words rhymes doesn't mean Dave should just throw them together.

An Aerosmith album with the song Don't Tell Me This is Why Can't Stop This be Love Walks in'n'out? Awesome!

You're an idiot and deserve to be insulted. How did Sammy ruin Van Halen?

Who plays guitar in the band?
Who plays keyboards in the band?
Who writes the music in the band?
Who wrote the keyboard love ballads?
Who's decision was it to replace Roth with Patty Smyth?
When Sam & Mike went out as the Other Half, who was bitching about "those guys playing MY music?

Edward Van Meth-head ruined Van Halen. No one else.

Sammy singing Aerosmith tunes would have been killer. Not many vocalists out there that could have pulled it off. They didn't contact Roth.

a point you are missing is Roth wouldn't have done the majority of those songs, or changed them to be less poppy. and wrote edgier melodies. and NOT have written all the lyrics about "love".

for crying out loud, Smthye wasn't in the band, nor was Townsend, and the list of others they threw around.

some of your points are indeed valid, but half baked...and no, Sam coudn't pull of the Tyler vocals. not close. even if you think Sam has a great voice(which he doesnt), its nothing like Tylers...Roth had his day. He's apart of some of the best rock songs in history. Sam was always a B or C level rock artist, a Billy Squier, Loverboy type.

As an all-new thing. I couldn'y see them doing "each others" material so to speak, but I wouldn't mind hering what fresh stuff they would come up with together.
