Tonight in Texas, Aerosmith fulfilled Motley Crue's #ALSIceBucketChallenge and challenged Quentin Tarantino, Fleetwood Mac, Cheap Trick, the Dalai Lama, plus Aerosmith and Slash's road crews to do the same.

Now, I can definitely see Mick doing this. Not sure about the others. Well, the others would give a monetary donation. Don't think all 5 would do the bucket.

[FuzzyPlum]

Ha. Mick & Lindsey maybe. Stevie, Christine & John- nooooo chance.

[sanders8323]

Stevie would never! It would be funny to see her with wet hair though.

[FuzzyPlum]

It's cool they picked FM. I wonder if Steve Tyler's hung out with his pals Mick & Chris et al recently.

[HelloMonster]

Of all the things that will never happen, this is number one. Never. Money donated, (or pried out of hands) and that will be it. Nope. Micks' restaurant even did the challenge, but not Mick himself.

[James89]

I would pay a large sum of money to see Stevie do this! :laugh: Actually, all five of them would be hilarious.

[Macfanforever]

That would be great if Stevie and FM gets the bucket.

Mick probably love to have it done.

[bombaysaffires]

HA! Someone in the FM camp hopefully has a clue about social media and actually hears about this. Probably their kids will have to tell them about it!! :laugh:

BEST one out there PERIOD, since Jason (Jason Becker - played in Cacophony and in the David Lee Roth Band) has had ALS for the past 25 years and can no longer speak or PLAY guitar. His video is sad to watch, but it is an eye opener as to what this disease can cause to a person.

What a shame wasting POTABLE WATER can't people just donate cash and the water instead of seeking 2 seconds of fame , and I do /did Donate CASH a friend of my husband has ALS



AND FOR $39.99 YOU CAN HAVE IT AS A HALLOWEEN COSTUME http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2014/08/22/this-halloween-costume-isnt-the-only-ice-bucket-challenge-commodity-on-the-market/

[WildHearted]

Not a chance in hell.

The mental image is very gratifying, though.

[michelej1]

Not to take away from the need for ALS research, but if they did do the challenge, it would be a great way to get a little viral youtube buzz ahead of their tour.

Exactly. I've seen people do it who I never thought would (Oprah) that nothing would shock me.

[Montclare]

I could see Mick and Christine doing this; John, only if everyone else did. Lindsey, back in the day, but not now. Stevie, never.

Actually, I see Lindsey being the first one to consider it-- he has kids that would LOVE to help, he has no aversion to water (they have a pool, etc). John has been sick, but he's a sailor at heart and not afraid of water. I agree, Michele. This would be a cool thing to do, and get the band out there. Win Win.

I agree that if anyone of them would do it it would most likely be Lindsey. I can totally see his kids seeing it on social media and encouraging him to do it (I think of that video of Will pointing out the TMZ guy to LB and getting him to talk to them). As for the rest, doubtful.

[michelej1]

And he's a member of the Swimming Buckinghams (even if his coach said he would never amount to anything)! Certainly, they're no stranger to cold water.

Michele

[Stormwind]

Lindsey needs to find his old swimming trunks and then he can do it. Trust me: his screams in the live versions of "Not that funny" would be nothing compared to the ones caused by a bucket of cold water :laugh:

[bethelblues]

John has been sick, but he's a sailor at heart and not afraid of water.

Have we heard an update about John? I just realized that I wasn't sure if it was announced whether he was now in remission. I'm hoping that he's been cured, or almost there, with a huge tour imminent in weeks.

If all they did was ask for donations they would've gotten a small fraction of what they've raised. They'd be like anyone else asking for donations for their cause. The success of this campaign is entirely because of the ice bucket challenge.

Robert Plant just did it. This Ice Bucket Challenge keeps surprising me more and more.

I actually think Stevie would find it funny and do it. Or at least jump at the chance to be the bucket pourer. She's a lot funnier than people give her credit for.

[Danielle]

Never thought Robert Plant would do it...
As for FM, I can see Mick doing it, not the others.

[Montclare]

Good point. I didn't think about his kids.

I could see Stevie pouring the bucket on Lindsey's head. :D

Yes, I think so too. Also, and perhaps I'm wrong about this, but I thought the point was to make a donation as well as doing the water dunk? Not just to do the dunk to avoid making the donation.

[michelej1]

I think you make a $10 donation if you take the dunk and you make a $100 donation if you don't.

Matt Damon cited the water drout and he used toilet water for his challenge, rather than clean water. But I'll be honest with you, I don't think the water use is significant enough to be concerned. We lost much more water when that UCLA water main broke.

Yes, seriously. And many of these musicians and stars have swimming pools. It'll quickly soak up into the land. A bucket of water is about one toilet flush.

I can't stop laughing. Too cool!

Maybe they'll do it when they're on the 'Today show' in September. I really hope they do this. It would be so funny and something totally different to what we're used to with this band and especially Stevie! :laugh:

That water main break was horrible!! CAn you imagine Christine in the ice bucket challenge? lol

[bombaysaffires]

well our heroes have just ignored the whole challenge…. can't imagine no one in their camp heard about the challenge. i mean, even Robert Plant did it for pete's sake. By now of course it's peaked and gone down the other side so doing it is jumping the shark. I don't care if they put water over their heads but it's just reinforces how in their own world they are.

no one is paying them to do it so they're not

As the fall cool nights and mornings are coming upon us now here in the NYC/New England area .It will probably be to cold to do it at that time if they are outside.If they do it now .They wont freeze.

I love to see them get soaked .
