Poll: What Did You Think of Steven Tyler, Neil Diamond, And Dr. Dre At The Red Sox Game?
By Travis Woods
Last Sunday night’s match-up at Boston’s Fenway Park between hometown heroes the Red Sox and bitter rivals the New York Yankees featured a musical invasion of sorts, with appearances by Dr. Dre, Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, and God… er, Neil Diamond (don’t even make a joke—I will gladly knife-fight anyone who makes fun of the Diamond), with both Tyler and Diamond turning in musical performances of, let’s say, ‘varying’ quality.
Live Daily reports that Dr. Dre appeared pre-show to hawk a new set of Red Sox-themed headphones, called “Beats By Dre,” while Interscope chairman Jimmy Iovine talked up Dre’s new single with Jay-Z, “Under Pressure.”
Later, during the seventh inning, Tyler showed up with his daughter to bizarrely strangle, bludgeon and, finally, brutally murder “God Bless America” with a series of wailing caterwauls too painful to truly describe. Watch the YouTube clip if you’re curious, or if you’re simply interested in snuff films.
Thankfully, Neil Diamond arrived to save the day in all his winking, Shatner-esque camp, running onto the field to perform “Sweet Caroline” during the eighth inning. Seriously, you’ve gotta check this out. It’s amazing. And good luck getting the song out of your head anytime soon.

Steven Tyler finally performed this tune the way Irving Berlin intended. Hey do you suppose, yes you Mr. Woods, think you will even be around when your 62 to give your opinion. Hopefully you and Rush will find a place to wither away together. Yeah if he's a man (Rush) of his word he should be leaving this Country soon. They have lots of Oxy in Mexico.
Aerosmith Rox!!!

Ummm Steven looked fine. If you are not familar with someone's mannerisms and effects, you shouldn't be judging them from a 2 minute video poop.

Travis you are an elitest and thank you. It's people like you that turn the masses to America's Best Rock Band Ever – Aerosmith. Up your nose with a rubber hose.

Tyler sang it ok

Steven Tyler sang it his way. His vocals are something one either loves or hates. I love them and him and have for 30 years. They are the only band I still love from when I was a teen. I also thought it was sweet he had one of his daughters with him. I also love that he and Joe Perry still have the long hair and dress the same way they did in the beginning. Don't know of any other 60 year old men that could pull off that look and still be hot. Seriously, have you seen the abs on both of those guys??? They look better than most guys in their 20's.

Steven Tyler was wacked on who knows what! What a disgrace, to allow a fool, stoned or intoxicated, to stand in front of a stadium, no, the entire world, and make a mockery of The Red Sox and more importantly, the United States of America. They would have done better to find a high school student ( I have heard many great ones ) to sing God Bless America ! ! Does anyone wonder where this society is headed when this kind of conduct is condoned? Is this the kind of example we want to set for our impressionable children and grand children? I doubt that he would have made it off the field without falling if he hadn't had his daughter to hold on to.

steven tyler and neil diamond are both fine – but those are 2 acts that should not take place in the same STATE at the same time! as for rap "music," if you put it with anything, it is like taking a crap in a bowl full of punch.

A disgraceful rendition of the national anthem. Tyler needs to stick to rock.

How many times have you seen Tyler perform live, cuzn vinnie? If you knew anything about the way he moves when he performs then you would not have made the comments you did. I've seen him perfrom many times–both sober and not–and those are his mannerisms, you stupid. Even though I've been a huge fan for 30 yrs, I would be honest if I didn't think he did a good job. He hit all the notes with enthusiasm and vigor and his awesome trademark style. I admire that he does not cater to the status quo and lowest common denominator, like yourself.
