Aerosmith - Falling off the Edge

Recently I posted how Aerosmith was back on the road. Well it looks like that tour has come to a screeching halt. If you haven't heard yet, Steven Tyler has reportedly quit the band. (Just do a google search and you'll find a ton of articles about this).

So now, Joe Perry is saying that Aerosmith will look for a new singer to continue on. Now I can understand the frustration, but are they really going to try to continue without Steven Tyler? Sorry, but it just doesn't make any sense to me. That would be like Led Zeppelin without Robert Plant.

I know that they could probably find someone that sings like him and too fill in on stage - other bands have done it - but it just wouldn't be the same. Sure bands like Van Halen had success after David Lee Roth left, with Sammy Hagar (making them more commercially successful), but with such a recognizable frontman, it just wouldn't make any sense. Not too mention Perry and him are behind all the bands biggest hits.

So if they did continue without Tyler and bring in a new singer, then I would hope they wouldn't use the name Aerosmith. Maybe the guys should just give it some time, most fans of the band know this isn't the first round of trouble for the band (just check out behind the music for a complete history and their downfall and rise too the top).

So let me know what you think, could you really see another singer in Aerosmith?

"Orphan" - Scary movie with a twist

This post would have been perfect for Halloween, but sorry running a couple of days behind. However, even though that day has come and gone - there's no reason why you shouldn't watch this movie.

"Orphan" may look like another scary kid movie - it may remind you of "The Ring" - creepy girl with dark hair - But rest assured, there is no little ghost girl in this movie. It's very suspenseful and will keep you on the edge of your seat - but this scary movie is more of a thriller than a horror film.

The story begins with a mother who's unborn daughter died while she was pregnant. So her and her husband decide to adopt. When they go to the orphanage, the parents fall in love with this little 9 year old Russian girl - Ester. So they bring her home to meet their other 2 children, and that's where it gets interesting. Soon after she joins the family, things start to get interesting as trouble follows her and anyone who gets in her way.

The one thing that I really liked about "Orphan" was a big twist at the end, that you probably wouldn't be able to guess (I won't give that away, of course). Although the movie starts a little slow, once Ester joins the family the pace picks up quickly and you'll be wondering what's going to happen next.

Isabelle Fuhrman - who plays the 9 year old - does an excellent job at bringing this frightening character to life. So if you're looking for a good thriller, that will keep you guessing as too what's really going on, my wife and I highly recommend "Orphan".
