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.

Steven Tyler: Records Are Like Surfing
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Release Dates, Upcoming Releases, Rock,
The Aerosmith frontman is hoping the group's forthcoming new album Music from Another Dimension will spawn several successful singles and is thrilled with the finished record.
"Your album is like a wave, and you ride that album all the way and see what you got. Hopefully we have three or four singles deep, which means radio play. [Producer] Jack Douglas and I and Joe Perry... We worked this thing for the last year, and we're so happy about it," he said.
Steven believes the record is a good representation of the band as people - which is useful as he often doesn't know who he is: "It's the kind of thing where it represents who you are. Who are you? We don't know. Sometimes our music speaks for us so this album - as Joe said on one of his solo records - 'Let the music do the talking,' and this one does."
The album, Music from Another Dimension, will be released in August, preceded by the single, "Legendary Child."

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."

Music Video: Steven Tyler Debuts “Feels So Good” on American Idol
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music Videos, Videos, Rock, New Releases,
For decades, Steven Tyler has been shrouded in the mystery of fame -- an elusive, larger-than-life stage presence who fills magazine covers with big hair and grimaces. Thanks to reality TV, we now know he’s the type of guy who rhymes “gaga” with “yaya” (granted, there aren’t a lot of places to go with that), isn’t afraid to drop an F-bomb on the Fox Network and actually makes Jerry Seinfeld’s puffy shirt look vaguely cool.
Still, we weren’t prepared for the weirdness of above music video. It’s for Tyler’s “(It) Feels So Good,” and it’s strangely compelling. The video debuted on American Idol's Top 4 results episode (recap on TV Envy). The song is currently available for download on iTunes.

Taylor Swift, 21, earned the Entertainer of the Year title at the Academy of Country Music Awards, an awards show that became a girls’ night when Miranda Lambert took home four awards of her own. Swift gave Lambert a hug before she made her way to the stage to accept the night’s big award.
“I’m just losing my mind,” she said of the win. “The fact that this is from the fans makes it so special.”
Lambert lost the Entertainer of the Year title, but she was the biggest winner of the night. She won an award for best song, single record and video of the year for “The House That Built Me.” She was also named as top female vocalist for the second year in a row.

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.
