I greatly enjoy Aerosmith. 1994's Get a Grip album was awesome. I even enjoy the 80's pop ballads "What It Takes" and "Angel". Based on this I was more positive regarding ZZ opening for Aero than other fans of the Top were. I figured it would allow ZZ to cater to and play in front of individuals that may otherwise not hear ZZ live.
It would appear the Train, for now, has stopped rollin'.
Mr. Tyler fell off the stage at a show in Sturgis, SD while dancing. Steven has always been an enthusiastic and dancing lead singer, and it seems he got a little too excited and a little too unaware of the size of the catwalk platform. So he fell off and fractured his shoulder. Based on all the complications and injuries Aerosmith has dealt with on this tour, I would assume this is the final straw. I would not expect the tour to continue.
So what does ZZ Top do with their new found time. I would propose they are reviewing their plans for the Double Down Live tour. This would also be a fantastic time to get into the studio while the band is hot and lay down some basic song structures for the new album.
Unfortunately it does not look like ZZ will occupy Madison Square Garden or the L.A. Forum this year. That's okay though. The band has a strong dedicated fan base who will always be at the ready to see and hear the next show.
Best wishes for recovery to Mr. Tyler.
