Lawsuit: Aerosmith Not Allowed to Suck

Posted Sep 23rd 2009 12:55AM by TMZ Staff

Aerosmith Steven Tyler and his bum shoulder will be gyrating on stage with the rest of Aerosmith next month in Hawaii -- and according to a court order, he's required not to suck at it.

Aerosmith will be performing concerts on October 18 and 20 in the Aloha State after losing a class action lawsuit back in July -- which was filed after the band canceled a 2007 show in Maui.

According to a clause in the settlement agreement, the gigs have to be the same "quality, type and duration" as a regular kick-ass Aerosmith concert -- which includes all aspects of the show, down to the "stage, lighting and sound quality."

Normally this wouldn't be a problem -- but the band was forced to cancel the rest of their 2009 tour in August after Tyler fell off stage at a concert and broke his shoulder ... so he isn't exactly in tip top shape.

Brandee Faria, the lead council for the suit, tells us, "They know they can't come out and do a 30-minute gig ... because I'll be there watching."

1. Yikes! Tyler's looking like MJ everyday (when he was alive, that is)!

2. That's harsh. I wonder if Tyler can sue his ass if he reinjures the injury? Is there a clause in the contract about that?

4. Why would you go to a show when you know the band does'nt even want to be there playing???

Basically the band will be faking their performance ??

Must be losing it.

9. If Brandee was really a fan, she would let Tyler heal first before putting on a show. She's a loser and I'm sure real Aerosmith fans will be none to happy to see her there....responsible for adding more pain to Tyler.

10. Is this for real? The man just broke his shoulder for crying out loud. Couldn't they cancel? I know that's not something the fans would want but I don't think anyone wants him getting further hurt either except for haters who enjoy that kind of thing. Like he said himself he was lucky not to break his neck last time. A broken shoulder is going to throw off his dance moves. I pray he will be o.k. I love Steven. One of the happiest days in my life was getting to touch his shoe at a Memphis concert. Ah, the memories. Not satisfied with that though--I want to meet him! If he gets hurt bad enough that won't be happening :( Poor guy. I wish him and the rest of the band the best.

BOING with me,
BOING for the year
BOING for the laughter,
BOING for the tears
BOING with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good KOOKY will take you away

14. This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. The sense of entitlement in this country is ludicrous...singers and performers cancel performances all the time, so now we're suing them?? Unless Aerosmith refused to offer refunds for the tickets, this is just another sign that our country is overly litigious and overly entitled. I shudder to think that tax dollars went to support this court case.

15. they should go away. Tyler looks like he already died.
