You buy tickets to a concert, it gets canceled - you get your money back. That’s the end of the story right. You might be disappointed, but these things happen.

 Unless you are an Aerosmith fan in Hawaii! About a dozen or so, so far have signed onto the class action lawsuit seeking damages for travel costs (and who knows what else) after the band had to cancel a gig out there in order to play a much larger show in Chicago.

How can you sue a band you like so much that you bought airfare to go see them in Hawaii? YOU STILL GET TO GO TO HAWAII! geez…

    To hell with Aerosmith then. I mean I personally detest listening to them, but still give them respect for making it as far as they have. But now that respect dwindles to a useless pile of shit, when they decide to shit on their loyal fans who have paid large amounts of cash, just to see them. So I’ll jump on any wagon that decides to use a chain and drag all of Aerosmith’s members to their death. These guys have piles of money beyond count, and still decide to go for the larger concert. So fuck you Aerosmith.

  2. Joe  Says:

    Justin, to hewll with your respect, Im quite sure they do not want ytour respect anyway. Dont you know that the tour manager is responsible here? Thats the person who sets dates and cancels whatever is cancelled. Dont hold the band resposible. And dont pretend to be a worthy fan like Justin here. Aerosmith rules.

  3. Chris  Says:

    I thought maybe they were suing them after they saw Aerosmith’s live performance.

  4. Mike  Says:

    That kind of shit is why rag heads bomb our buildings and people around the world hate the US… if it isn’t politics or being politically correct, it’s the sue happy fucking ass hats.

  5. Jeff  Says:

    Haha, I was on the same line Chris. bleck.

  6. WenZee  Says:

    I long for the good old days when class action lawsuits were the exception to the rule and not the rule itself!

    These so called fans should be more creative. I would have organized an e-bay auction or raffle for all of those plane tickets. They would have gotten their money back in no time and they wouldn’t have to pay lawers!

  7. Trojan  Says:

    Aerosmith sucks dog balls

  8. JIgsaw  Says:

    aerosmith needs to be tied up with litigation for years in order to keep their music out of people’s ears

  9. MandaMurda  Says:

    dude seriously its just a bunch of sue happy people who think that money is everything well screw that aerosmith is fuckin bomb

  10. Jacob  Says:

    Yeah…Aerosmith sucks big fat balls and if anything they should be sued for playing such shitty music but useless tools who file lawsuits for a stupid fucking reason like this suck the fattest balls of all

  11. mr. M  Says:

    rag headS? what a hick “mike”
    anyways yeah those people get no play it was fare and square but kinbda shallow on Aerosmiths behalf.

  12. Chuck Reagan  Says:

    Maybe you should of waited for them to come to your town like normal people do.
    Prolly some fat lazy non havin’ a job slob wanted to get $$$$omethin for nuttin”.Prolly had that Hawaii trip planned way before Areosmith planned on tourin’ there. Get a job & leave the Toxic twins alone.

  13. Tom  Says:

    This sounds like a story about 1-2years ago, where a fan paid for air-fare, hotel room, & a ticket to see The Rolling Stones, in Atlantic City , The show was cancelled cuz Jagger was sick, The lady tried to sue for several millions… come on, giving the benefit she might of spent roughly $1,000.00, Where did she get tryin to sue for millions ( might of been 50 million ) for damages. She didn’t get shit!! I hope she paid Lawyer & court fees, & she probably tried to sue for those damages….

  14. keith  Says:

    areasmith suck, and they bombed on fans to play a bigger show, and no the tour manager makes sure it all flows smoothly of course the band has a say in cancelling shows etc i know as i am in a band on thirty days of night records so i tour a LOT.

  15. john  Says:

    I think they should get sued and then be forced to retire from music and then life in general.

  16. cuddles  Says:

    if u’r steven tyler…..then u’r steven tyler….what ever he wants….most the time…. .it’s all about the all mighty $

  17. Dusty  Says:

    Yes they have lots of money, but everyone wants more. Can you blame them. Yes it sucks. But as far as being a fan shit happens get over it. As far as people who think they suck live you are fucking crazy. I have been to many concerts in my life. And they were like top 3 on the live shows list. So I don’t thing you guys know what the fuck you are talking about.

  18. Jack  Says:

    They sound like crap live…and have’nt had a good song since the 80’s…….who cares?… suckers

    I hate to sound mean.. but what in the hell are you talking about? lol

  20. your worst nightmare  Says:

    i got screwed out of an iron maiden gig in AZ for the same reason. they played in san diego instead of the little shit bar by my house (electric ballroom). I bought tix and i dunno if i got money back but i was pissed. 6cryptic6curt6

  21. Justin  Says:

    Is anyone else sick to death of those goddamn annoying 3 songs that all sound the exact same that had Alicia Silverston in the videos??? Crying, Crazy and Amazing. Why do radio stations play these awful songs still? AHHHHHHH-Im getting pissed just thinking about how much those songs suck.

  22. Scott  Says:

    People still pay to see Aerosmith?

  23. DKA  Says:

    Personally I think that is totally wrong for them to cancel for that reason, it is the little people that helped them make it big and I do hope that the people who sue get something, I also agree that back in the 80’s they were the bomb,but now they… well I dont listen to there music!

  24. DKA  Says:

    Yes the songs Crazy, crying and amazing are so outdated they should just retire!

  25. Travis  Says:

    You can sue to get the ticket money back, but for the plane tickets and stuff, you have to take that up with the agencies in charge of that. And Aerosmith was probably unaware of the change until their management agency told them they were not going to Hawaii.

  26. chackie jan  Says:

    Aerosmith are just straight up……..balls
    steve tylers one ugly mother fucker and the rest of the band are unheard ofs following a monkey faced lead singer who inturn follows the almighty dollar as someone mentioned earlier in the thread
    they should just give up really

  27. Corey  Says:

    I don’t see why ppl are bein such @$$holes. It dont matter if u like Aerosmith or not they are rock legends n prolly influenced half the bands u listen to so give them respect. I’m not tellin any1 to like em but respect em. N for the lawsuit bull ppl need to lighten up ur fans n thats y ud go to see em so if u like em enough to buy tickets why the hell would you SUE.

  28. Never Enough Bullets~  Says:

    No matter what they cancelled a show to play a better show. Thats just as wrong as the peeps sueing them. I’m sure they have enough dough to pay up seeing they’ll make alot at the Chicago show. No winners with this one.

  29. joey  Says:

    I`m be hella pissed but not enough to sue.

  30. Jakadocius  Says:

    Before sticking your middle finger out the car window and getting it shot off like here in California. Consider that they may not have been responsible for the cancellation. Also, I do believe they are not big enough dicks to not help those people out or get another show lined up. I am sure thye will do whatever necessary to please the fans. This is their job and the customer is always right, no matter how much of an asshole the customer is.
    Give them a freakin break people.

  31. Ur Mum  Says:

    Fuck anyone who says fuck someone because in this situation its no onee’s fault. ok the band manager had a decision to make. Hawaii= $12,000 or Chicago= $60,000. What would you chose? and be reasonable don’t go off and mouth off just because you ass rape fucktards don’t always get ur way…this is probably what some fans r thinking ” Boo Hoo, I dont get to go to one Lousy Stinkin concert in Hawaii so im gonna sue my fav band of all time Aerosmith just because i don’t get to see them play in Hawaii”

  32. JOHN  Says:

    THEY WILL HAVE TO ANSWER TO JESUS IN THE END,LIKE EVERYBODY ON THE PLANET.

  33. John Crapper  Says:

    Wow. Real dumb - on all accounts. Shows get cancelled. Big Deal. Who cares why it was cancelled? It’s noone’s business but the band’s. In response to Joe: Tour managers are pee-ons. They do what the band says. My tour manager has nothing to do with booking shows. In response to Tom: “might of”? It’s “might have”. Read a book instead of the internet once in a while.

    Aerosmith does not suck balls you just don’t like their music. Give some credit to guys who write hit songs for 30 years unlike YOU.

    I didn’t come here to correct people. I’m just venting like you people because it’s too early and noone is awake so I’m taking it out on you.

    This lawsuit is proposterous.

  34. Morgan Maggot  Says:

    “who ever apeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward, who ever cannot take care of themselves without that law is both”

    thats lamb of god, and they say sueing is bad, so fuck those wanna be aerosmith fans!

  35. Me  Says:

    Bullshit thats hard earned money people broke their back for… What did Aerosmith do for that money?? play a shitty show where stevin tyler sounds nothing like the recordings.. They have the money to pay them back and their is no excuse for shitting on fans
