Aerosmith announced their retirement from touring due to Steven Tyler's vocal injury and many Rock stars paid tribute to the band. The Mötley Crüe bassist and main lyricist Nikki Sixx shared a message on his social media talking about how important the Hard Rock band is and how they influenced him. Nikki Sixx pays tribute to Aerosmith after retirement announcement "In 1973, a fifteen-year-old kid named Frank Feranna walked into a record store alone and emerged with the first Aerosmith album in hand. I would carry that album with me everywhere, including to friends’ houses, confessing to them that this was the future of rock ‘n’ roll. As the years rolled on, my opinion never changed. Lyrically, musically, rhythmically, and especially with those monster songs, Aerosmith was unparalleled." "Their entire catalog is outstanding, but those first five albums were the holy grail for a young, future Nikki Sixx. I recently sat on the cliffs in St. Barths, playing along to those albums. Can I just say, Tom Hamilton’s work continues to inspire me, and what a rhythm section they had with Joey Kramer behind that kit." "Joe Perry and Brad Whitford wove those guitars back and forth to the point you sometimes couldn’t distinguish the dueling guitars because the sound became one big kick to the side of the head. Steven Tyler, to me, has always been the ultimate singer, lyricist, and showman, but personally, he’s a man who helped me at the beginning of my sobriety. I’ve been lucky to become a peer, a friend, and always a fan of this great American rock ‘n’ roll band. Thank you, Aerosmith, for everything," Nikki Sixx said. In their final concert, the band was formed by Steven Tyler (Vocals), Joe Perry (Guitar), Tom Hamilton (Bass), Brad Whitford (Guitar) and John Douglas (Touring drummer). The original drummer Joey Kramer was not a member of the band during these last years. He decided to not be part of their shows due to personal reasons and sometime later his wife sadly passed away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcC1Ea7s-Dw&pp=ygUUYWVyb3NtaXRoIG5pa2tpIHNpeHg%3DThe post Nikki Sixx pays tribute to Aerosmith after retirement announcement appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

Journey is currently managed by the original guitarist Neal Schon and the classic keyboardist Jonathan Cain, who are the only two classic members of the band who are part of the current line-up. During the past few years their relationship wasn't the best, not only because of their different political views but also due to a lawsuit filed by Cain back in 2022 involving a band credit card. He accused Schon of maxing out an American Express account with a 1 million dollars limit, saying that the guitarist has spent up to 10.000 dollars per night. Even with that lawsuit they continued to tour together and it seemed like the tension between them was over. However, Schon has filed a new lawsuit, once again charging him with overspending. The new court case accuses Schon of maxing out an American Express account with a 1 million dollars limit. It also says the guitarist exceeded a daily hotel fee cap of 1.500 dollars, saying he spent up to 10.000 dollars per night. The lawsuit also says that debt payments were blocked and that the band didn't have enough money to pay the crew and production company during the current Stadium tour. Cain's lawyers said that these "unforeseen strains on cash flow pose a severe threat of harm to the company and to Journey's storied history of musical greatness." They stated that the band is suffering through divided loyalties, crew defections and general tension. So the band announced that their upcoming United Kingdom and Ireland tour dates are canceled due to "unforeseen circumstances". But their shows in the United States and Japan are still confirmed.

Born in Sydney, Australia back in 1950, Bob Daisley was part of many incredible bands during his career like Rainbow, Uriah Heep, Gary Moore, Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne. But besides being an incredible bass player, he also is a really fantastic lyricist and he showed that by writing the lyrics for most of the best-selling Ozzy Osbourne albums. In an interview with Johnny Beane (Transcribed by Ultimate Guitar), Daisley recalled how bad Ozzy and the late guitarist Randy Rhoads were bad when it came to writing lyrics. Bob Daisley recalls how Ozzy and Rhoads were bad at writing lyrics "I first got into it really was that Ozzy wasn't a lyricist and neither was Randy. It was only the three of us to start with. And we were auditioning drummers and writing songs at the time. I remember, we were at a rehearsal place called TransAm Trucking in a place called Ilketshall in Suffolk in England. And I came down, it was a live-in situation, and we were auditioning drummers and writing, and I came down one morning, and Ozzy and Randy had tried their hand at writing and lyrics with one of the songs." "And I thought, 'God, this is awful.' (Laughs) It was like Spinal Tap, but worse. (Laughs) So I thought, 'I'm gonna have to wear the lyricist hat.' And I just thought — we wanted to be self-sufficient, we don't want to get writers outside of the band and we want to keep it under our roof. So I took on the role of lyricist and lyrics for the songs. There was a couple where Ozzy had had a line or a title or something like that. But, you know, 99% of it was me," Bob Daisley said. During the same conversation he compared being a lyricist for Ozzy and for the other groups he was part of. According to him, in Rainbow, for example, Ronnie James Dio was an amazing songwriter, so he didn't need to help that much. Daisley was part of Ozzy's band from 1979 to 1981, 1983 to 1985, 1988 (As a session musician), 1990 to 1991 (As a session musician) and from 1995 to 1995.
