Aerosmith star Kramer hits back at fan complaints

Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer has used the group's website to hit back at fans who have started complaining the act has gone soft live by playing too many ballads.

The rockers have been inundated with moans and groans from devotees after asking fans to request tunes for the Aerosmith setlist as they tour with Motley Crue.

Kramer felt the need to speak out after fans used the invitation to criticise the group's cigarette-lighter-waving anthems.

In a message posted on the fan club website aeroforceone.com, Kramer states: "I disagree with anyone who is saying there are too many slow songs in the set.

"A great song is a great song. It's a very difficult thing to try and please everyone all the time and we do the best we can to put a good show together to make everyone happy.

"People who complain can direct their comments (from) now on directly to me, and I can take them into consideration. And believe me, they will be read."
