We recently reported that Steven Tyler allegedly threatened to cancel Aerosmith’s performance at Twin Cities Summer Jam at Canterbury Park in Shakopee in Minnesota, and it turns out that Tyler also got frustrated during the performance. Tyler attempted to get the crowd to sing the chorus to “What It Takes” and they failed miserably.
Tyler unloaded, “Worst [bleeping] crowd in the last 10 years.”
He gave the crowd a second chance though, and they were able to pull off the chorus on the second take. Tyler was rumored to threaten to not perform if the festival didn’t let regular ticket holders take up empty VIP tickets up front, which were empty due to very high ticket prices. Tyler was recently filmed licking a hot photographer’s camera.
Star Tribune wrote in a review, “Tyler and Aerosmith, those bad boys from Boston, certainly had what it takes to win over a Midwestern crowd on Friday — the rock-star swagger, high-octane energy, singalong hits, terrific guitar work and the loud mouth of Tyler.
No doubt, Aerosmith’s 90-minute set ranks as the highlight of the three-day TC Summer Jam, which also featured Rascal Flatts, REO Speedwagon, Pitbull and Tim McGraw in an attempt to mix musical genres on the same bill.
The review later stated, “Perry, 68, was on fire all night, with tasty fills and outstanding guitar solos. By contrast, Tyler, 71, seemed to turn it on and off. He’s been more consistently engaged in previous Twin Cities appearances, but then Aerosmith hadn’t rocked in town since 2012.
The band seemed to shift into high gear when Perry took over vocals on ‘Stop Messin’ Around,’ an early Fleetwood Mac blues tunes featuring standout solos by guest Buck Johnson on organ, Perry on guitar and Tyler on harmonica, blowing right in Perry’s face.”
Steven Tyler recently stated his intention to ‘take down’ impersonators, as they continue to disrespect him.
