Never a big fan, but feel badly for Kramer, although it seems it may be a combination of not being physically or mentally/emotionally able to step up for the gigs. To have security at the gates to ban him from rehearsals, with paparazzi on hand to film the encounter is humiliating at best.

Worked a part time security gig in Seattle when they played here in the early nineties, ended up being assigned to their dressing room door for the afternoon/evening. Became a bigger fan of Tyler as he took a liking to me for some reason, joking with me all day and was genuinely very cool (got invited in for food and to watch porn.. strange night/funny story ) Even then one of the many takeaways from the experience for me was what a prima donna Kramer seemed. Literally carried backstage after the gig as one example that turned my head.
Aerosmith says they won't be talking about it anymore in the press as it is a "family issue". With family like that...
What a mess.

He seems out of it in that video. Very short, yes, but the dude's in a daze.

Steven Tyler got distracted by some large tracts of land that were present if you get my drift...

Agreed, but he seems crystal clear while looking into the camera. Right on time...
It's not as bad as it used to be 10-15 years ago. There's been a massive crackdown on doctor shopping and pill mills.Quote

I just find this non-descript "he's not fit to play" or whatever a bit odd.
....and if he had some sort of an injury, the odds are he got offered/prescribed opioids....doctors are prescribing that crap like candy.
"doctor prescribes, drug store supplies...who's gonna help him to kick it?"

Perry looks like death warmed over. I wonder if he's partying too much when he's doing those Hollywood Vampires gigs...which would be ironic, considering Alice Cooper is basically the godfather of rock'n'roll sobriety.Quote

There's gotta be more to it than just he's still hurt. They've been together forever. They just suddenly developed a hatred for Kramer? They're at the very end of their existence.
Based on the live videos I've seen of them recently, if he's as bad as they're portraying him to be, then he must be downright awful, because Perry's playing sucks and Tyler is just gasping through everything, taking shortcuts, hurrying up... not good at all.
That's a good point.Quote

I'll speculate, even though I'm sure there's a lot going on behind the scenes that we don't know about.
It seems bigger than just a Grammy performance. We all know that could easily be faked with a drummer playing offstage. Age takes it's toll on everyone, and it's very rare for a 5 piece band to have all its original members. Maybe Joey can't play anymore but his ego won't allow him to retire/quit. I assume that if the rest of the band really wanted him out then he would have been out already. Maybe their contracts don't allow them to fire him.

What? Besides the sound mix being bad, I think both Steven and Joe sound absolutely fine
