I'm Not Leaving Aerosmith

Relax, Aerosmith fans: Steven Tyler says he isn't leaving the band.
Tyler made a surprise appearance with guitarist Joe Perry and his band Tuesday night at a New York City venue. Tyler told the crowd: "I am not leaving Aerosmith."
Rolling Stone and Billboard magazines report the two then launched into their song "Walk This Way."
The appearance seemed to put an end to speculation about the band's future.
Perry currently tweeted that Aerosmith was "looking for a new singer to work with" and told the Las Vegas Sun that Tyler had quit, as far as he could tell.
The 61 year old Tyler was injured when he fell off a stage during an Aug. 5 performance in South Dakota, and the band canceled the remainder of its summer tour.

'quits Aerosmith' Tyler

According to the band guitarist Jeo Perry, Steven Tyler has quit Aerosmith.
It comes just months after the singer spoke out publicly to dismiss reports the band was on the verge of splitting following a year of cancelled tour dates, injuries and accidents.
In August, Tyler broke his shoulder after falling off stage while performing in South Dakota, and the group was forced to scrap the remainder of its summer tour.
Perry admitted that following the accident he and Tyler didn't speak for more than a month, prompting rumours the band's future was in jeopardy.
And it seems fans' fears were justified guitarist Perry has revealed his pal has left the rock group after its performance as part of the Formula One racing season's final weekend in Abu Dhabi last weekend.
He tells the Las Vegas Sun, "Steven quit as far as I can tell. I don't know any more than you do about it. I got off the plane two nights ago. I saw online that Steven said that he was going to leave the band. I don't know for how long, indefinitely or whatever. Other than that, I don't know."
Perry claims the discord in the band is down to Tyler's lack of communication, including his failure to return phone calls: "He's notorious for that. That's one thing I've learned to live with. I try to overlook it. I like to pick my battles.
"Frankly, the last few months I've been wanting not to rock the boat. I don't want him cancelling any more gigs. We actually wanted to do these last four. We just kind of didn't want to call him out or anything and get him anymore p**sed off, for whatever reason. So we just let things lie. So we did the gigs and, like I said, I got off the plane and saw this online. That's how I know about it... He has had no contact with me or the other band members."
But Perry is determined to continue with Aerosmith, even if Tyler refuses to return.
He adds, "Right now I'm adjusting to how we're going to go on. Aerosmith is such a powerful band, I mean it's like a steam locomotive. You just can't disregard 40 years of four guys who play together as well as they do. We're just trying to - at least I am - trying to figure out what direction the band should take.
"As far as replacing Steve, it's not just about that, it's also four guys that play extremely well together, and I'm not going to see that go to waste. I actually don't know what path it's going to take at this point, but we'll probably find somebody else that will sing in those spots where we want a singer and then we'll be able to move the Aerosmith up a notch, move the vibe up a notch."

Troubled Times For Aerosmith

The future of Aerosmith has come into question by a current post on Classic Rock’s website. Steven Tyler confirms that he is thinking of embracing a solo project in 2010. “I don’t know what I’m doing yet, but it’s definitely going to be something Steven Tyler,” says the iconic frontman. “Working on the brand of myself – Brand Tyler.”
Classic Rock also report:
At the moment the future is an open book and over the next couple of weeks the band will reconvene (probably sans Tyler) to discuss future plans, which could be either the announcement of a long hiatus or even possibly include carrying on with a new lead vocalist.
Guitarist Brad Whitford revealed:
“I’m not sure how good that would look, it would largely depend on who we could get and who would want to do it. That’s big shoes to fill.
“Nobody could replace Steven or imitate him – he’s one of a kind. But if somebody was willing to do it and the chemistry was right, why not?”

Perry told the Associated Press that Tyler has "got to get his act together."The Honolulu Advertiser saw no sign of tension between Tyler and Perry on Sunday night, adding that Tyler "took every chance to sidle up next to Perry . . . and declared he 'loved' the guys in the band. If there was any discomfort between the two, or any of the band, it didn't show on stage or in the music."Perry will hit the road next month in support of his CD, taking along his JOE PERRY PROJECT touring band.Newly announced Joe Perry tour dates (subject to change):

Aerosmith officially postpone Canadian tour

Aerosmith have officially announced the postponement of their tour of Western Canada so that frontman Steven Tyler can recover from injuries he sustained after falling off the stage at a concert in South Dakota last week.

Newly rescheduled dates for the cancelled concerts in Winnipeg, Regina, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver have not yet been announced.Guitarist Joe Perry told Illinois radio station WXRX he believes it could be anywhere from four weeks to two months until the veteran rockers are able to hit the road again. Tyler broke his left shoulder in the fall and had to receive several stitches in his head.

After Aerosmith grounding takes off the project of Joe Perry

Future plans up with Aerosmith ( tickets )'s in the air following a show in Hawaii tonight (10/20), guitarist Joe Perry [ tickets ] will hit the road this fall in support of his latest solo effort.
The Joe Perry Project ( tickets ) kicks off the slate Nov. 10 in New York City, and will hit six cities during the brief outing, which concludes Nov. 21 in Indio, CA. Highlights include a Nov. 14 hometown Boston concert, and a Nov. 19 gig in Windsor, Ontario. Details are included below.
Prior to this week's group of Hawaiian concerts, Aerosmith had been on an unplanned hiatus after Tyler, 61, fell off the stage during an Aug. 5 performance in Sturgis, SD. The singer broke his left shoulder and suffered a cut on his head that required 20 stitches.
Perry has been vocal in his criticism of Tyler since the singer's fall. "I was pretty [upset], because right before that, he had pulled a muscle in his leg, and we had to take two weeks off and we missed probably seven dates," the guitarist told the AP last month.
"All I know is, he's got to get his act together," Perry added. "I mean, he and I haven't written a song together alone in the same room in over 10 years, so there's been some changes in paradigm of what Aerosmith is."
"Have Guitar, Will Travel," Perry's fifth solo album, surfaced earlier this month. The guitarist initially created The Joe Perry Project in 1979 following his departure from Aerosmith, releasing his debut solo album, "Let the Music Do the Talking," in 1980. Perry released two additional albums under the Joe Perry Project name before rejoining Aerosmith in 1984.
Additionally, Perry's self-titled 2005 solo set featured him playing every instrument except drums.

Aerosmith Has Been Taking Fans For Granted, Joe Perry says

To his credit, Joe Perry looks determined these days to shake his bandmates in Aerosmith to their senses. In a new video interview posted on Billboard.com, the guitarist says some members of the band or, rather, one in special have been taking their fans for granted.
"The thing that bothers me the most is how it (time off) affects the fans ….,” Perry told Billboard. “The only reason you're there is because of the fans. You owe them a lot, and when you start taking them for granted it's just wrong.”
Perry continued: "I think that a lot of what happened with Aerosmith over the last two or three years has been a case of that. And I'm not talking about everybody in the band. I think at this point the four band members are willing to not play for a while until the fifth member gets together and decides to come and join us again."
Perry’s comments come on the heels of revelations that he and frontman Steven Tyler haven’t spoken for weeks. Nonetheless, he insists that Aerosmith is nowhere near the point of splitting up.
“Aerosmith is taking a breather,” he said.
The veteran guitarist went on to confirm that Aerosmith will perform at a Formula One race event in the United Arab Emirates on November 1. The group is also scheduled to perform a private concert at a software convention in San Francisco later this week, to be followed by two shows in Hawaii later this month.

Aerosmith's Venezuela gig hobbled by bad knee

Aerosmith's Joe Perry won't be walking this way to Venezuela.

Instead of heading to a Feb. 1 show in Caracas, the 58-year-old lead guitarist detoured to a hospital for emergency knee surgery, forcing the Hall of Fame band to cancel what would have been its first gig in the country.

A band rep says Perry had a total knee replacement last March. But due to complications, he required a second operation, stat.

The "Sweet Emotion" purveyors are planning to reschedule the concert as soon as Perry's bum knee heals and the band has room on its calendar.

“Playing Venezuela was my idea of a perfect way to start the New Year," frontman Steven Tyler said in a statement. "But having heard Joe had to revisit the hospital this month, the band are truly disappointed we can’t be in Caracas, and we hope to see everyone there soon.”

House GOP used the Aerosmith song

GOP's they were attractive yesterday about that new troops-rallying video from Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) that used old song Aerosmith's "Back in the Saddle" to declare that "The House GOP is back" thanks to the party's common opposition to the incentive. But unluckily, Aerosmith wasn't feeling the love. Cantor's clip has been pulled from YouTube after a copyright violation claim made by Stage Three Music, which owns the rights to "Back in the Saddle."The GOP's use of the tune "was a little we, as the publishers, didn't approve and would not have accepted without going to the writers," Connie Ashton, director of copyright and licensing at Stage Three, told me. "Aerosmith did not supported of its use and also wanted to have it taken down," she added.Ashton added that House Republicans never contacted Stage Three to put in a request for use of "Back in the Saddle." Maybe they assumed it was okay because Joe Perry authorized McCain last year.

Introduction to Aerosmith

Aerosmith is a prominent American rock band. Although they are known as a Boston, Massachusetts band, none of the members are actually from that city. Three of the members, Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and Tom Hamilton had originally met in Sunapee, New Hampshire in the late 60’s, but had not yet formed a band together. Tyler was from Yonkers, New York, Perry from Hopedale, Massachusetts, and Hamilton from New London, New Hampshire. In 1970, the three decided they would form a band together, and that Boston, Massachusetts would be the place to do it. Later they met up with Joey Kramer (drums) and Brad Whitford (rhythm guitar).

The band enjoyed major popularity throughout the 1970’s, but they split from 1979-84 due to serious substance abuse and drug addictions that contributed to their decline. The Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia reportedly said they were “the druggiest bunch of guys I’ve ever seen.” Jimmy Crespo replaced Joe Perry during those five years. However, in 1984, chiefly due to the tireless efforts of Joe Perry’s then manager, Tim Collins, to reform the band, Aerosmith was born again. Despite his own client Perry’s insistence that it was unthinkable, Collins succeeded in helping the band resolve old differences and ultimately overcome their addictions. By 1989, the band had completely stopped their drug abuse. They went on to enjoy a resurgence in popularity that has made them one of top-selling and most popular rock bands in the world today. Their greatest worldwide hit was “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing,” from the blockbuster-hit movie “Armageddon”.
