Aerosmith: Music Will Never Be the Same
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Collaborations, Gossip, Upcoming Releases, Rock,
Aerosmith claim it's the "end of an era" for rock 'n' roll music.
The "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" hitmakers are releasing their first studio album in 11 years, Music From Another Dimension!, but guitarist Joe Perry says the music scene has changed forever: "It's the end of an era. People listen to music in a different way. They cherry-pick songs off records. They aren't going to want to listen to live bands anymore. I don't know if we will see The Black Keys doing two-and-a-half-hour sets in 10 years."
The band have spent a lot of time perfecting the album and teamed up with the late John Lennon's son, Julian, on one track after he heard frontman Steven Tyler singing in the shower. "A lot of weird stuff happens in Los Angeles. I was staying at a hotel where Julian Lennon was staying and one morning I was singing in the shower with the window open. I heard through the window, 'Steven?' and I shouted back, 'Julian?' After that, we brought Julian over to the studio and he sang on the opening track," he revealed.

Aerosmith’s New Album Almost Complete
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Release Dates, Upcoming Releases, Rock,
Aerosmith will release their new single in "three or four weeks."
The veteran "Walk This Way" rockers are putting the finishing touches to the follow up to 2004's Honkin' On Bobo and excited the record - which they say will sound "modern and hi-fi" - is almost complete.
"It's really close. We've started to mix. We've mixed a couple of the songs already, but I guess this week we're really kind of rolling into mix mode. We have a couple of tracks left to finish up, just to put some overdubs on, but we're kind of going from the final, final recording tracks to mixing this week. The record's gonna sound modern and hi-fi. We're not sitting around going, 'We're gonna do Night in the Ruts again or Rocks again.' We want to make a modern sounding record, but the main thing is the energy that the early records had," guitarist Joe Perry told Rolling Stone magazine.
The new track "Legendary Child," which is likely to feature on the record, will also appear on the soundtrack to new film G.I. Joe: Retaliation. Singer Steven Tyler said the recording of the song was great, especially Joe's contribution on guitar: "It's gonna be slammin'. Joe was on fire. Wait, you'll see."

Aerosmith: New Album on the Way
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Reunions, Upcoming Releases, Rock,
The feud between Steven Tyler and Joe Perry is over. Along with the other members of Aerosmith, the rockers will get to work on a new album this summer.
According to Tyler, he and Perry smoked a “peace pipe” to at last bury the hatchet. Reportedly, the rift began when Tyler accepted his current American Idol judging gig.
But Aerosmith isn’t going to question a good thing anymore. Since Steven Tyler started appearing on the new season of the reality gorilla, sales of the band’s greatest hits have increased 250%.

Aerosmith Rift: Joe Perry and Steven Tyler at Odds
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Rumors, Rock,
“I mean, after working with me for 40 years, he couldn’t tell me about this?” These were Joe Perry’s words to the Boston Herald.
Perry, Aerosmith’s longtime and legendary guitarist, was discussing frontman Steven Tyler’s possible appointment to the American Idol judging panel.
Joe confronted Steven on Saturday - before the band took the stage at the MGM Grand to perform - but Tyler wouldn’t offer any information, saying he could not discuss it. “Why so secretive? We’re told it’s a done deal. If Steven is committed to a TV show, that kind of affects the rest of us. We’d like to plan our lives, ya know?”
Perry’s complaint is pretty valid, but it seems the Idol gag order can’t be broken.

Steven Tyler: Home Depot’s Latest Act
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Rock,
Steven Tyler recently shocked hardware store staff and shoppers by serenading them with two of Aerosmith’s biggest hits.
The rock star launched into a cappella versions of “Dude Looks Like a Lady” and “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” over the loudspeaker system at a Californian Home Depot store this weekend.
“Steven also swallowed a few mouthfuls of gas from a helium machine, for blowing up balloons, and kept singing in a high pitched Bee Gees style. He was very relaxed though, and happily signed autographs for anyone who asked,” a source told TMZ.
The troubled star is currently on hiatus from Aerosmith after a rocky few months with the group. He entered rehab last month to seek treatment for an addiction to painkillers, which comes from years of orthopedic injuries. The other members of the group have said they are looking for a replacement, but have no idea if it will be on a permanent basis or not.

He may have an interest in doing solo projects, but that doesn’t mean Steven Tyler‘s quitting his day job. In fact, the lead singer made certain everyone knew that last night.
After surprising an audience at a Joe Perry gig, the 61-year-old lead singer told the crowd that he isn’t going anywhere. “New York, I want you to know I’m not leaving Aerosmith,” Tyler claimed. Following his announcement, Tyler fronted a peformance of “Walk This Way.”
That declaration was seconded by Perry on Twitter earlier in the day. “Aerosmith is definetly NOT breaking up. One of the members is doing his own thing and said so in the press. That’s all I know,” he wrote.

Aerosmith’s Joe Perry Disappointed with Steven Tyler’s Setbacks
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Concerts / Tours, Gossip, Rock,
Every time I hear someone attempt “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” on American Idol, I think to myself: “I wonder what happened to Steven Tyler?” Apparently I’m not the only one asking that question these days.
Over the past year and a half, the Aerosmith lead singer has suffered a number of physical setbacks including sore feet (seriously) and a broken shoulder. (The latter problem forced a cancellation of the band’s summer tour.)
But if you’d like to know how Tyler is doing now, you shouldn’t ask Joe Perry. The guitarist hasn’t exchanged words with Steven for some time now.

Aerosmith Tour Canceled After Steven Tyler Fall
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Rock,
A frightening fall earlier this month has forced the cancellation of Aerosmith‘s summer tour.
On August 5, Steven Tyler and the rest of his bandmates were in Sturgis, S.D. when the lead singer - as seen in the video - took a spill off the stage. The 61-year-old was performing his signature moves when he gave the crowd more than they had bargained for. “I was doing the Tyler shuffle and then I zigged when I should have zagged ... AND I slipped, and as I live on the edge ... I fell off the edge!” Tyler recently stated.
