Aerosmith

The brewing legal battle between Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and his former manager, Allen Kovac -- which just last month found Tyler issuing a public statement branding Kovac "rude" -- has spilled over into the Motley Crue camp.

What has it been like experiencing the long, strange journey of Aerosmith? Fans have gotten a glimpse of it thanks to autobiographies from Steven Tyler and Joey Kramer, and there may be even more insights coming from bassist Tom Hamilton.

It took Aerosmith an awfully long time to get back to the studio for this year's 'Music from Another Dimension' LP -- and according to recent comments from guitarist Joe Perry, it sounds like they aren't in any hurry to return.

Johnny Depp cameos at California Aerosmith concerts are becoming as dependable as hits like 'Sweet Emotion' or 'Dream On.' The actor showed up once again on Monday night (Dec. 3) during the band's set at Staples Center. He jammed through two songs on guitar before departing. Witnesses describe Depp as being "really happy and at ease" during the appearance.

It might sell more papers to say that the members of Aerosmith are feuding, but the members of the band insist that a recent New York Post report alleging dissension in their ranks is way off base.

Bringing it back to where it all started, Aerosmith staged a takeover of 1325 Commonwealth Ave. in Allston, Mass. today, Nov. 5, playing a free show outside the apartment where they crafted many of their early songs.

Boston and politics go hand in hand, but one thing that Bostonians like as much as an election is their hometown heroes, Aerosmith, and the band is planning something special for election week. The group has announced their intent to play a surprise show next Monday (Nov. 5), a day before we elect our president, as they try to rally their fans not only to vote but to also pick up their new album,

Steven Tyler may have a mouth that doesn't quit, but Kiss frontman Paul Stanley is known for giving as good as he gets, and he's firing back at Tyler after the Aerosmith vocalist called Kiss "a comic-book rock band."

Growing up in the early '60s, one would think the Beatles were a heavy influence on Aerosmith's Joe Perry, and maybe later the Rolling Stones. While those bands may have paved a road for his group to follow, it was a local 14-year-old named Steve Rose that first inspired Perry to play rock and roll.

With a cachet like Cheap Trick has, it's not frequent that they open for other bands, but the group just signed on for another leg of dates supporting Aerosmith and that suggests that camaraderie has eclipsed billing in terms of importance for the veteran rockers.

Aerosmith won't exactly be cooling off as the band has announced a whole new slate of 'Global Warming' tour dates for the fall, beginning Nov. 8 in Oklahoma City and winding up Dec. 13 in Nashville.

According to Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton, there’s a simple explanation for what inspired he and his band mates to talk trash about singer Steven Tyler during last month’s ’60 Minutes’ interview — reporter Lara Logan’s copious cleavage. Yeah, that would work on us too.
