My Globe colleague Mark Pothier was keyboardist for Ministry, a band of some renown. “We are bonded together by much more than our time on stage,” Aerosmith said in a statement criticizing Kramer’s legal action. Then they said he had to show he could play as well as his replacement. Allen had his issues, but his band stood by him.Īfter Kramer suffered a minor injury, Aerosmith insisted he audition to get his job back. Not only did his bandmates help Barker heal, they understood his fear of flying and allowed him to take a bus to their gigs, and then an ocean liner so they could tour overseas.Īfter Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen lost his arm in a car accident, his bandmates welcomed him back two years later and let him play with one arm. His bandmates went to visit him in the hospital, and there they decided to get the band back together after a five-year hiatus. Other bands have been more understanding when their drummers encountered the difficulties that life presents.Īfter Blink-182 broke up, their drummer, Travis Barker, was badly burned and nearly killed in a plane crash. They don’t call ’em Boston’s Bad Boys for nothing. Spinal Tap’s drummers kept dying in mysterious circumstances.Īnd so, Aerosmith’s decision to push drummer Joey Kramer out of the band is pretty low. Ringo Starr was dismissed as being the least talented Beatle.
