Re: Aerosmith

hey, i know i'm going to make some enemies with my next statement. 
but as
far as sloopy and pathatic. come on!! we all have boots of 75 thru 80 
of
zep. and if you cant say the same about them at times you are jaded by
your love for zep.. 
now dont get me wrong, i love the band and have for over 25 years. i
wouldn't been on this list if i didn't.
but it brings tears to my eyes sometimes when i dig out the boots of
their later concerts and hearing pagey smacked out of his mind. he
sounded awful. it really did make me cry. to see such a gifted artist
loose what came naturally to him. and then with plant being horse all 
the
time. he just couldn't get it up..
i'm sure robert listens to the boots as well and maybe thats why he
doesn't want to reunite. he doesn't want to kill the beast..
sorry guys but thats my opinion.
hope i dont burn in hell..
