Aerosmith confirms a new tour, but lets see how long this one lasts. Before you know it, Steven will be getting drunk and being the usual pill popping idiot until he lands himself in the hospital with some crazy stage stunt.

Aerosmith maybe auditioning for new singers with the decision made by Joe Perry but Steven Tyler is not letting them. Steven threatens Joe Perry if he is replaced, the band will get sued.
Billboard reports:
I’m gonna have to side with Steven on this one. Steven is doing a good thing. No matter if Billy Idol or any other singer is a perfect fit for Aerosmith. Aerosmith belongs to Steven and Steven only. I think everyone knows that. Joe and Steven has known each other for at least 40 years or more, if Joe replaces Steven, then that’s a stab in the back right there.
What would it be like if Metallica replaced James Hetfield?
The only legendary bands that were ever sucessful at replacing lead singers were Ac/Dc (Bon Scott replaced by Brian Johnson), Van Halen (David Lee Roth replaced by Sammy Hagar), and Black Sabbath (Ozzy replaced by Ronnie James Dio).
Other than that, if Steven was replaced, it would anger a lot of Aerosmith fans and the band would get a pretty nasty backlash. They would lose a lot of fans. Especially the longtime and die hard fans.
Steven Tyler has a huge ego yes, but even he knows that Aerosmith belongs to him. Joe Perry’s ego is much bigger than Steven’s. It’s good that Steve is fighting back, get ’em, man!

What do you all think? Do you think this British spiked white haired badass named, Billy Idol, has what it takes to front Aerosmith? It was rumoured from Classic Rock Magazine that Joe Perry definitely wants him.

In my opinion, I think he might be the right guy. Idol has quite a range in his vocals and he could give the Aerosmith songs a different feel. His voice sounds different than Steven’s but Idol is an interesting choice. Idol has performed in cover bands in his past I’m sure and I think he could possibly nail Aerosmith hits perfectly.

On that video where Steven Tyler showed up at the end of Joe Perry’s solo gig, do you think that was planned? Did Joe Perry himself invite Steven to the stage? Nope. Think again.
Perry never invited him to the show. He just came. Steven definitely was drunk or something ’cause he was acting weird in that video. I think his ego got in the way that he wanted to take over Joe Perry’s set….but, Joe Perry didn’t seem to mind. In this article, Joe said he let Steven sing, just to be nice.
Even though Steven says he’s not leaving Aerosmith, things haven’t changed with Joe Perry’s feelings on him. Joe is still upset with him.

Joe Perry’s solo band performed a gig in NYC, at the end of Perry’s set… Steven Tyler showed up on stage out of no where. After weeks and weeks of news reports with Joe Perry telling the media that Steven Tyler is leaving Aerosmith, Steven Tyler wanted to confirm the news isn’t true himself in person and not directly to the media. Steven wanted to let the fans know that he isn’t leaving Aerosmith. The man said so himself in this video below.
Notice while they were performing, “Walk this Way”, Steven is taking it easy on the dancing this time. He’s not dancing as much. He is mostly standing while singing. Yep, Steven is learning.

Oh no, Joe Perry is really upset with Steven Tyler, big time. Perry is furious with Tyler lately that he is actually thinking about replacing a new lead singer for, Aerosmith.
Aerosmith has been together for way over 20 years. They’ve been together long before they were signed too. Aerosmith without Steven Tyler?
Perry wants Tyler to get his act together and get clean and healthy if they want the band to survive.

What do you think about this? Aerosmith without the iconic frontman? Wanna know my thoughts?
I’d say go for it!
If Alice In Chains is going on without Layne Staley, I don’t see why not either?
Joe Perry must be smoking on something if he says, “if anyone’s willing to do it”. Of course, anyone would love this opportunity to sing for Aerosmith. I’m sure there are plenty of singers out there that can sing like an exact match to Tyler’s vocals. 🙂

Joe Perry speaks out on Steven Tyler, saying that he is upset with the Aerosmith frontman that he hasn’t spoken with Joe since his fall off the stage. He is also upset that the Aerosmith tour has been cancelled because of his accident which explains why Joe Perry just released a new solo album this year instead of a new Aerosmith album.
Perry also reveals that him and Steven Tyler hasn’t written any new songs for the new album in over ten years.

Look like we’re going to have to wait a LONG time for a new Aerosmith record, I don’t expect them to go back into the studio anytime soon. Steven needs to get off the booze and the pain killers before he kills himself.
