They broke up years ago and got back together. Without Tyler they are nothing, but basically they are a bunch of former drug addicts who could never play in the first place. Just a party band really. The thought of Rush opening for them is amusing.

 

Just as amusing is that The Mahavishnu Orchestra used to open for them and according to Tyler, Aerosmith would come on and the crowd would still be going "Mahavishnooooooo". rofl3.gif

Tmz caught both Perry and Tyler on video denying rumors of a break-up. They asked Perry who started the rumor and he said he didn't know....ummm wasn't it him? unsure.gif

Wonderful! Now we can look forward to another album of Brittany Spears type pop songs. 062802puke_prv.gif

"Done with Mirrors" (1984) was the last solid record.

yes.gif

IMHO that is the absolute worst thing they ever did , only thing worth a crap was the remake of Joe's solo song Let the Music Do the Talking.

AEROSMITH IN TURMOIL: INSIDE THE BAND'S 40-YEAR WAR

December 1, 2009

 

http://www.sleazeroxx.com/news09/1201aer.jpg

 

In the new issue of Rolling Stone, the magazine goes inside the rift that threatens to tear Aerosmith apart, as Steven Tyler has openly stated he wants to take two years off to work on "Brand Tyler," leaving the remaining members of the band to ponder recruiting a new lead singer for their upcoming 40th anniversary. In Aerosmith in Turmoil: Behind the Story, Rolling Stone interviews Joe Perry, Joey Kramer, Brad Whitford and longtime A&R rep John Kalodner to get their take on the state of Aerosmith, the hunt for a new singer and whether Tyler's sobriety is to blame.

 

The roots of the band's fallout stem back to when Tyler fell off the stage during a concert in Sturgis, South Dakota, this past summer, but Whitford tells Rolling Stone "there's been a serious lack of commitment on [Tyler's] part for a while. We've been trying to make an album for a few years and he's been the guy that suddenly one day he just doesn't show and the next thing we know he doesn't want to work, he doesn't like the producer, whatever."

 

The band has also been divided regarding the sound of their next album. While Tyler prefers the more radio-friendly pop hits, Perry is in favor of a sound closer to '70s Aerosmith. Perry admits that he's "not a big fan" of the band's last album of original music, Just Push Play, and Kramer tells RS that the tracks the band had been working on with producer Brendan O'Brien "were probably closer to old school Aerosmith stuff like Toys or Rocks."

 

Perry, Kramer and Whitford all tell Rolling Stone that they haven't had any direct communication with Tyler -- the last time Perry called Tyler personally, the singer hung up on him -- and instead rely on talking to Tyler's management to relay messages to the frontman. Whitford and Kramer are both concerned that Tyler, who has a history of drug problems, might have relapsed. "His behavior suggests to me that he's... he doesn't act like a sober person," Whitford says.

 

As for recruiting a new singer, "anything is possible at this point," Perry says. "We are still trying to figure it out. Steven has made it pretty clear; he wants to go off and do what he wants to do. But the band isn't going to wait around. Aerosmith is too good a band to sit around and twiddle their thumbs." Adds Kramer: "We have a 40th anniversary coming up and we all would like to celebrate that with our fans out on the road and everybody deserves to take part in that, and that's what we've been talking about. There's really no way to replace Steven but like I said, Joe and Brad and Tom and I plan to, we want to continue to tour."

They got sick of his shit, plain and simple . It is good to hear that Perry wants to make an old school album like Rocks . Will they pull it off? Time will tell but anything is better than the shit they have put out in the last 30 years

Steven Tyler Eyes Lawsuit To Stop Aerosmith Replacement

January 31, 2010

 

http://www.sleazeroxx.com/news10/0131tyl.jpg

 

Gary Graff of Billboard.com reports: Amidst continuing reports of other singers being approached to front Aerosmith, Steven Tyler and his handlers are taking steps to reassert his position in the band.

 

Tyler's Los Angeles-based attorney, Skip Miller, fired off a letter to Aerosmith manager Howard Kaufman last week, independently obtained by Billboard.com, requesting that Aerosmith's management "immediately cease and desist from engaging in acts and conduct to the harm and detriment of your own client, Aerosmith, and our client who is one of its members." Miller subsequently told Billboard.com that on behalf of Tyler he's called a meeting of Aerosmith's "shareholders" on Feb. 9 to discuss the band's future, including recording a new album and touring this year of Europe and South America. The four-page letter also states that "we reserve all of our legal rights and remedies in this matter, including, without limitation, pursuing legal action for damages and other appropriate relief."

 

"Steven Tyler does not want lawsuits," said Miller. "We do not want to go in that direction. The direction we want is Aerosmith, with Steven Tyler, touring in Europe, touring Latin America, releasing a new album...This is the direction it's all intended to go. It's just amazing to me current management would be taking any other position."

 

Aerosmith's management declined comment. Miller says he has not yet received a response from Kaufman or any of Aerosmith's other representatives. As for what the next step will be if Aerosmith continues with its search for a new singer, Miller said "we'll cross that bridge if and when we come to it. I hope we don't. I don't think we will."

 

Tyler is currently undergoing therapy for a painkiller addiction brought on by orthopedic problems. The location of his treatment is unknown, but recent public appearances -- singing karaoke at a bar in Palm Springs, Calif., and signing autographs and singing over the public address system at a Home Depot -- led to speculation he's at the nearby Betty Ford Center.

 

Miller says the Jan. 27 letter was prompted by Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry's recent comments in the Canadian press about replacing Tyler and by a meeting earlier in January attended by Kaufman, Tyler's music attorney John Branca and Tyler's new manager Allen Kovac of 10th Street Entertainment. Kaufman, according to Miller, "said point blank he didn't think Steven should be part of Aerosmith, flat-out said the band would be better off without Steven -- which, in my opinion, is a very questionable management decision by a fiduciary."

 

Miller's letter argues that "the animus and negativity you have expressed towards Mr. Tyler has created an inability to protect both Steven as an individual and the band as a whole. This behavior directed towards a person committing to rehabilitation and recovery is detrimental and hurtful on both a personal and professional level. This is a time Steven has dedicated to transform his life." Miller pointed to Tyler's Dec. 22 statement, in which the singer "confirms his desire to be a part of Aerosmith" and accuses Kaufman of "playing band members off against one another instead of seeking to solidify their relationships and unify them for the overall good of the band...Contrary to all common sense, you are seeing to bring about the replacement of Steven Tyler. Aerosmith without Steven Tyler is like the Rolling Stones without Mick Jagger, or U2 without Bono. While this management strategy may get the band on the road a few months sooner, it ultimately could destroy Aerosmith."

 

Miller added that, "Can you imagine the manager of the Rolling Stones calling for the replacement of Mick Jagger? It's just absurd...Tyler is very unique, distinctive. Steven is Aerosmith, along with the others. He's the guy the public knows. He's the singer. I'm blown away that the current manager would even suggest something like (replacing him)."

 

Both the letter and Miller said that Tyler has been writing songs for a new Aerosmith album and will be ready to perform at the proposed European and South American dates later in the year. Aerosmith had started to record a new album -- its first since 2004's "Honkin' on Bobo" and first of all-original material since 2001's "Just Push Play" -- with producer Brendan O'Brien in late 2008 but put it on hold due to health concerns, including Tyler's bout with pneumonia, and to prepare for a tour last summer with ZZ Top that was aborted after Tyler fell from the stage on Aug. 5 in Sturgis, S.D. Perry, meanwhile, is touring to promote his latest solo album, "Have Guitar, Will Travel," while Brad Whitford is gearing up for an Experience Hendrix tour in March and drummer Joey Kramer is promoting his autobiography, "Hit Hard: A Story of Hitting Rock Bottom at the Top."

 

The Tyler camp actions come at a time when rumors are further ramping up about who might sit in for Tyler. A Perez Hilton weekend report claims that Billy Idol, who's been widely reported as under consideration, had to skip a scheduled meeting with Perry due to a cold, while other published reports maintain that Chris Cornell and Paul Rodgers have both been approached. Lenny Kravitz, another rumored candidate, has publicly stated he's not interested.

Aerosmith's Steven Tyler Over The Worst Part Of Rehab

January 30, 2010

 

Rocker Steven Tyler has completed 30 days of "intensive sobriety treatment" in a California rehabilitation clinic after publicly acknowledging he was struggling with a painkiller addiction.

 

The former Aerosmith star, who fell from a stage in South Dakota during a show last summer, is now undergoing a 90-day "residential day treatment program," according to a statement from the singer's management company, Tenth Street Entertainment.

 

Tyler has been spotted in the Palm Desert area in recent weeks, leading to speculation he has been at the fabled Betty Ford Clinic nearby.

 

Last Saturday, he showed up at a Home Depot hardware market and sang two Aerosmith songs over the store's tannoy system.

 

A source tells People.com, "(He) has privileges to leave the grounds... He was shopping."

 

The rocker also showed up at a Palm Desert karaoke bar and belted out Aerosmith ballad I Don't Want To Miss A Thing.

 

Eric Sherman, the president of Tenth Street Entertainment, tells the website, "(Tyler is) a performer 24/7, whether he's on stage, at the Home Depot or singing karaoke. We are all really proud of Steven's continuing successful therapy and look forward to the day he returns to the stage and recording studio with Aerosmith to make new music for the fans."

 

Sherman's comments suggest Tyler's hiatus from the band may be short lived. He announced plans to take a break from the group in an interview late last year, prompting bandmate Joe Perry to proceed with auditions to find a replacement frontman.

Joe Perry Says Steven Tyler Still A Part Of Aerosmith

February 7, 2010

 

http://www.sleazeroxx.com/news10/0207per.jpg

 

The war of words between Aerosmith stars Joe Perry and Steven Tyler appears to be over - the guitarist insists the singer is still very much a part of the rock band.

 

Tyler announced a surprise two-year hiatus from the group last year without informing his bandmates, prompting Perry to tell fans he would be looking for a singer to take the frontman's place.

 

The Jaded singer has since checked into rehab to take control of a painkiller problem, suggesting his time off may have been necessary, and Perry is now insisting he never meant to imply that Tyler was no longer a part of Aerosmith.

 

He tells Britain's Classic Rock magazine, "Steven hasn't quit the band, nor have we sacked him. We're taking the attitude that he's going on a vacation from Aerosmith. While he's away working on other projects, the rest of us want to carry on playing live. So we will bring another singer to make this happen.

 

"We're not daft enough to think we can replace Steven, and that's not our plan. But, after 40 years of working together, we just don't wanna stop. How long with Steven be away? He says it'll be two years, but I believe he'll be back a lot sooner. It may end up that we only do 10 shows with the new person!"
