With all the confirmations and denials of Aerosmith breaking up former Geffen exec John Kaldoner, who’s responsible for the band’s 80s revival, is pushing the band to continue on without Steven Tyler and find a replacement.
So who does he think the new front man should be?
Giving his two cents on the situation, Kaldoner says:
“I was talking to Marty Frederickson about this because he co-wrote ‘Jaded’ and worked with them for 10 years or so. We were talking about how no one can replace Steven Tyler, but the only person he said – and I agreed with – that could even make Aerosmith anything would be Lenny Kravitz.”
Joe Perry and bandmate Brad Whitford have confirmed they are searching for a replacement, whether or not they’ll take John’s suggestion is unknown.
However, John has his doubts about Steven Tyler’s absence from the group. “If you’re asking me, is there Aerosmith without Steven Tyler, my answer is no.”
Maybe they should go the reality show route like Rock Star: INXS. That’ll get them more money publicity.
Just make sure Steven Tyler isn’t around to rush the stage, again.
