Steven Tyler

Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Joe Perry are still fielding questions about the rift once caused by Tyler's decision to be an 'American Idol' judge, and for the record, Perry says his public anger over the situation was not based out of jealousy, but rather the consideration shown by Tyler at the time.

Aerosmith's Steven Tyler is not ruling out a return to 'American Idol,' though he says in a new interview that if he did come back it would be in a much different role.

As anyone who’s ever read a Steven Tyler press release knows, it can be difficult to understand where he’s really coming from on any particular subject, and Tyler’s rambling explanation for the last-minute scheduling bump for the new Aerosmith record is no exception. Happily, we have guitarist Brad Whitford to set the record straight.

Steven Tyler has beat Jennifer Lopez to the punch, quitting American Idol today (Thursday, July 12).  A statement from Fox confirms that Tyler is departing the show. Poor Randy Jackson -- doesn't anybody want to be on this show anymore?

They’ve had over a decade to get things just right, so why are Aerosmith bumping back the release date of their long-awaited new album ‘Music From Another Dimension’? According to Steven Tyler, there’s a relatively simple — albeit disappointingly un-rock ‘n’ roll — explanation.

With Aerosmith preparing for liftoff on their ‘Global Warming’ summer tour with Cheap Trick, they’ve been doing a lot of press to talk about both the upcoming trek and their highly anticipated new album.

The members of Aerosmith may have engaged in a war of words during their long layoff, with the most recent battle coming during a profile on ‘60 Minutes.’ However, a video shot before the band’s first concert of their ‘Global Warming’ tour shows Steven Tyler engaged in some good old-fashioned chop-busting on bassist Tom Hamilton.

On Wednesday night’s ‘American Idol,’ the contestants did songs from the years they were born, which ranged from 1983 to 1995 — proving even fetuses can sing. Hell, Steven Tyler probably has nail polish older than these kids.

With Aerosmith now in its fourth decade of existence, Steven Tyler has been in our public consciousness for so long that sometimes it’s hard to remember what the rubber-faced singer and ‘American Idol‘ judge used to look like. Let’s jog our memories a bit, shall we?

Now that Aerosmith have finally gotten down to the business  the music do the talking on their long awaited new album, it’s sounding more and more like it has the legs to be a future classic. Additionally, it’s possible that ‘Smith vocalist Steven Tyler might draw on a surprising collaborator for some lyrical assistance.
