WHY JOEY KRAMER WILL NOT BE PART OF THE AEROSMITH FAREWELL TOUR

[@paulkraynak5604]

50 years on, this should be no surprise - If I had a choice in my 70s between spending time with my family, or ANYTHING else, it'd be family, hands down - Esp since his wife died, he must be hearing tick tock. God bless Joey Kramer. 🤘🏻⚡️☦️🙏🏻💪🏻

[@SullyDunn]

always looked up to Aerosmith keeping the original members together for half a century. So incredibly rare

[@MichaelABruce-ew8zs]

I saw them in 1987. They were supporting permanent vacation. That was the last time I seen them. Another band I'm glad I saw when I did with that being said? It preserved my memory of how I would like to remember them.

[@JJMcHurt]

I caught that tour too!!! I think White Lion opened for them in Atlanta

[@rokarolla]

I saw em in New Years Eve 1990 @ Boston Garden, high energy. Their only bad song was 'Janie's got a gun' back then.

[@markbirchette8740]

Steven and Joe could be strung out on Oxys but no audition...I saw them several times as well and I'm good with not seeing the Peace Out tour too.

[@shandonsahm3343]

Tommy's Aldridge is still playing like he did 49 yrs ago.. he's still skimming it

[@robertbishop5357]

I don’t pay high ticket prices for any band.

[@jennybh08]

Same here. I’m done with concerts I suppose because every show that comes thru, the prices are way too high. Besides….I saw most of the great bands in their prime!!

[@johnnyringo9759]

Drummers always get treated poorly. Joey needs to join a therapy group with Ringo, Bill Ward, Bun Carlos, Lee Kerslake, and Peter Criss!!!

[@chrischoir3594]

I saw Aerosmith at a show in 82 or 83 and Carmine Appice played the show

[@susanscharch5562]

Love You!! Thanks for keeping it REAL!!🤘🤘🤘❤️

[@Kinger1625]

Well Ralph, I see them nest week in Toronto. It will be a great show.!! THE ONLY NEWS THAT MATTERS!!!

[@icantintyou]

my one and only show was the honking on BoBo tour. i thought they were great, the sound was amazing. they blew KISS away

[@SilverStackersLocal999]

I TOTALLY understand not wanting to go for price reasons. I dropped $800+ for lower section seating for thier date in SLC. I was born in 83 and have 16 shows I think under my belt of Aerosmith. They've played a HUGE role in my life, but I'm also a DIEHARD with a tattoo and growing up had all thier magizine pics plastered on my wall all schoolwork desk in my room. My 1st show was in Vegas for the Nine lives tour corner stage side 🤯🤯🤘

[@frankny4947]

We saw Aerosmith at The Dr Pepper Music Festival at the Central Park bandshell in 1975 for the 'Toys' tour. I was 17. Then 3 times at the Garden in 76/77. Then in 1979 at The Tangerine Bowl in Orlando. Then lastly at The Hollywood Sportatorium in Fla. in I guess 80 or 81 with Jimmy Crespo. Jimmy kicked ass with Aerosmith that night. Great player too. We were tripping on acid. That's the last time we saw them live except on dvds. I'm 65 now. Those guys gotta be 75. They should maybe hang it up. They did it all. Without dying of drugs or old age. Do they really need to rock and roll around the country still? Shit. I get tired just walking around Walmart a few times. But I bet Steven and the boys would still kick ass. God bless those guys. frankny65yroldwhitekid rockfan

[@grindhousecartoons6896]

TOO BAD, JOEY KICKED ASS! I SAW THE ROCK IN A HARD PLACE TOUR AS A MIDDLE SCHOOLER AND THE PUMP TOUR AS A ADULT, AND I GOTTA SAY, JOEY ALWAYS PLAYED GREAT, EVEN AS THE OTHER DUDES WERE SLOPPY DRUNK AT TIMES. HAHAHAH

[@carystorm1863]

I guess a drum tech is taking over the drums ,good for him.

[@psykodj67]

Aerosmith is a hell of a band..Im glad I got to see them in 88 and 2012...great memories there

[@janiterinadrum1627]

It’s always the singer that causes problems… just think about every band that you know of that broke up or someone died or they had some sort of problem and then they tried to regroup and it was the singer that caused problems. Go ahead and think about that for just a second……. Anybody come to mind? Led Zeppelin , foreigner, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Van Halen, quiet riot, Deep Purple, 38 special, rainbow on several occasions… Guns N’ Roses,, Mötley Crüe, poison.. AC/DC(didn’t cause a problem, but was necessary, but yet they got actual rows to replace Brian)… Genesis .. journey..YES! STYX, several times.. ironmaiden!.. Fleetwood Mac.. Judas Priest…. and that’s just right off the top of my head. I’m sure there are 50 more that I can’t think of right now…. Not every case is the singer’s fault… but most of the time being the front man or woman.. they are the one that caused the problem

[@lamplighter2085]

Two things come to mind, Lead Singer Disease (LSD) and Spinal Tap

[@ChampippleD]

I saw Aerosmith’s very last Vegas show and they are still amazing.

[@jdiona]

Saw them in 1994 here in Portugal, at the eight of their comeback success (get a grip era). They rock a lot!!!!!!!

[@idjut1080]

All the things I wanna hear about! Dr. Fukk has the medicine 🤘

[@GodessIsabelRaina]

Insane❓️have you seen the TSwifty prices❓️😱 Im hurt😢 I wanted to see the farewell tour but it was canceled for Florida. Steve's voice😢😢😢😢😢

[@BlindArthurBlake]

I would be surprised if that tour even happens now

[@rokarolla]

Last clip I saw of Joey, Brad was turned towards the drums and stomping the ground to remind where the kick drum hits were supposed to be. He's forgetting how to play.

[@EdwinCannistraci]

I’m also not seeing this tour for all the reasons you cited.

[@0necrazywhiteboy30]

It’s a shame Joey isn’t able to do the tour. But if Aerosmith sticks to their guns and this is their final tour (unlike other bands eh hmm KISS, Motley Crue) I’m hoping they will pull out some rarities and go out with a bang.

[@kapenakanaiaupuni5816]

I'm with you brother

[@romangarcia608]

are they going to have the members from the Rock and a Hard Place album up there (Jimmy Crespo and Rick DuFay i think)?? and i was on the fence re going but if Joeys not going to be a part of it then no way - especially for $400 for nosebleeds.

[@phillipmarlowe0525]

So Areosmith is down to only three original members. Steven Tyler Joe Perry Ray Tabano Joey Kramer Tom Hamilton This was the original lineup. Brad replaced Ray.

[@ShockMe1994]

Good point but that’s the same as Michael Anthony replacing Mark Stone or Bon Scott replacing Dave Evans. Nobody remembers Mark or Dave but everyone remembers Michael and Bon.

[@phillipmarlowe0525]

@@ShockMe1994 True. Just as with Rush : Alex Lifeson- guitar John Rutsey- drums Jeff Jones - bass and vocals.

[@Skycladatdusk78]

If you want to get super technical about it the only original members in Judas Priest and Iron Maiden are the bass players.

[@MrRidleyDog]

Ray doesn't count as he never recorded with them.

[@phillipmarlowe0525]

@@MrRidleyDog He does count. He was in the band as an official founding member. Regardless or not if he recorded with them or not.

[@MaterLacrymarum]

No offense, but Def Leppard's drummer has ONE ARM. There's nothing that can be done for this guy?

[@jimmiebroadbrook1057]

Dude you're crazy the greater grip tour was one of the best concert ever that CD produced three amazing hits possibly four done with mirrors and night in the ruts they were horrendous

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

2:18 the single most ridiculous photo of the 1970s.

[@dalime605]

next to AC/DC, Aerosmith was the first band I was obsessed with as a child being exposed to rock n roll music. I'm sad to see them go, but not TOO sad

[@lamplighter2085]

I checked out after Rock in a Hard Place.

[@timmothymonaghan5236]

Sabbath did its last tour without Bill Ward as well it is a Bummer with out Joey i saw Joey in 84 and also the Rock in a hard place tour and also latter 80s as well

[@robertsparling917]

I've heard that Joey has not been well lately. Last year, his wife died as well.

[@anthonypanneton923]

its what happens when you get old.

[@dennisolsosn9321]

He has a heart condition. We live near him.

[@kevinleblanc47]

No Joey no Aerosmith

[@dlux8735]

I Won't go see Aerosmith for the same reason I would not go to Sabbath who screwed Bill Ward and Kiss who also screwed Peter Criss both with low pay. Seems to be a greed trend going down.

[@richardmoszer8670]

That are not the same without him, and never will be. Pity.

[@julianschulz1620]

I met Joey years back, and he was not a very pleasant man...BUT....who cares?! He's Joey Kramer, and he will always be awesome & essential to Aerosmith. Love 70's Aerosmith, love Joey's incredible drumming, and it truly sucks they have to close the final chapter without him behind the kit.

[@lancecrocket2391]

They haven't been Aerosmith since 1980. PERIOD!!!!! No yellow barrels. At all

[@richardmoszer8670]

But why is he locked out? If he can't play, fine, but why isn't he allowed to be involved.

[@MrRidleyDog]

Because he's emotionally frail and probably a little unpredictable at this point.

[@richardmoszer8670]

how do you know? @@MrRidleyDog

[@MrRidleyDog]

@@richardmoszer8670 I have read his book and I have met him in person AND he has tried suing the band in recent years.

[@toddmorrissey8372]

Really. They're calling it "The Peace Out" tour? Ugh.... that's got Tyler's grubby fingerprints all over it. Remember "Trip Hoppin'"?

[@maureenmcbride3845]

Addiction is horrible and every drummer I know over 55. Just doesn’t have it anymore. Sadly he will be missed and I adore Douglas. I wanna see aeromachine w Kramer tho. I don’t care if he sucks. I have seen them 49 times in my life. They all sucked at one show or another

[@MizzesB]

Probably Sammy Hagar will replace him.

[@georgebrice8329]

Please don't do that i bet you hagar drumming is just as garbage as his singing

[@MBRMrblueroads]

They lost me on the Draw the line tour. I could not make out what song they was playing. To bad for the drummer he has a tough job. The guitar is nothing.

[@dalebarnes5642]

Why doesn't someone just ask Joey?

[@MrRidleyDog]

He's being paid well to keep his mouth shut, probably.

[@coalregionrider18960]

Ahh man another band doing a farewell tour without the drummer. Same thing with Sabbath. What bullshit. Why even do a farewell tour then.

[@muziktrkr]

They're still including Joey Kramer as a member though. Sabbath pushed Bill Ward out and did him dirty (which is what Nikki is trying to do with Mick Mars). It's such a dick move because they get it in their heads that they're paying him "millions to sit at home" yet the touring lifestyle is very very 5 star hotels, private jets, and private chefs.

[@coalregionrider18960]

Yea but if the first tour back in the day was with joey then the last tour should be with him if hes still in the band.

[@anthonypanneton923]

the $$$$$. and the ego(s).

[@julianbarreras4854]

Because is old and sick

[@otisdriftwood8469]

More farewell bs.
