Aerosmith – they sucked in the 70’s, they suck in the 00’s
coming up on 40 years of suckage.
We’d all be better off if the Toxic Twins had both OD’d
shred – lol
Yes. Aerosmith – the Led Zeppelin for the teen-aged girls.
No PowerPC, no integrated graphics (i.e. Mini or old MB), no Extended Case-Sensitive disk format… What development tool did these guys use to port this???
Essentially, this means pretty much mostly iMacs and not much else. I hope they do understand that vast majority of Macs sold today (and for the past year or so) are portable, and majority of those are MacBooks (and not Pros). Kinda limiting their addressable market quite a lot?
Aerosmith proves that drugs are good. Their music kicked @$$ in the ’70’s (sorry qka and krquet but I disagree) and has sucked ever since they got clean.
This seems to hold true for so many others, too: Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, Lou Reed, etc.
Aerosmith dont suck!!!!!!! people that say that dont know any about rock history… a lot people know aerosmith just in the 90s that are a bad age for aerosmith… in the 70s are a amazing band, I have round 5000 albums of rock, believe me for some many reasons, topics etc… aerosmith is a great band in the history of rock n roll.
ps: apple rocks too!!!!
