    Steven Tyler Isn't Quitting Aerosmith

    Joe Perry and Steven TylerDon't write those Aerosmith obits yet. After tons of media reports in recent days about the legendary Boston rockers heading to splitsville, mainly fueled by guitarist Joe Perry, the guitarist and singer Steven Tyler reunited, appropriately, onstage.

    At a Joe Perry Project concert in New York City on Tuesday night, Tyler made a dramatic return to the Aerosmith fold, joining Perry for the Aerosmith classic 'Walk This Way.' According to reports, before the song, Tyler let everyone know he was still the lead singer of Aerosmith. It was a very public end to an equally public spat, which stemmed mainly from several canceled dates this summer due to injuries Tyler sustained.

    The pair have also disagreed publicly over which direction to take the band musically, with Perry telling Rolling Stone when he listens to 2001's 'Just Push Play, "Sometimes I listen to that record and I'm not sure it's my band. All I want to do is make a record that sounds like Aerosmith." That was obviously fueled by a summer of frustration, as when Spinner spoke with Perry in April of this year he was very excited by the new stuff. "We have all this material and because we've been playing a lot, everybody's chops are at the top of their game, especially at the end of the tour. After a little rest, that's really the prime time for a band to record, and not having to worry about writing a bunch of songs as well, I'm kind of excited to see how that'll turn out," he said.

    Tyler has said he wants to work on "Brand Tyler," so when we'll hear new music or see more dates remains to be determined. But Aerosmith fans everywhere can breathe easier tonight and the media can turn to the next band drama.

    Hell.....I was always better on drugs, too. But hey, I'm the same age as Tyler and Jagger and I don't look half as dead as they do.

    I'm writing a book about drugs and alcohol. Everyone is addicted to SOMETHING. Even if they quit doing drugs or never started. How many people do you know who cannot and WILL not start their day without at least 2 cups of coffee. Caffeine. Made very similar to Cocaine. But the bible thumpers don't want to hear it. And I'm as God-fearing as they are. It's just the truth. Nobody wants to be 100% sober all the time. Whether it's taking tons of vitamins, herbs, herbal teas, coffee, prescription drugs, illegal drugs, alcohol, etc., etc. My friend has a brother who owns his own company. He designs websites and he makes tons of money and is very successful. He also gets up every morning and smokes pot. So, go figure.

    There comes a time when you have to face your own reality. I love Aerosmith, but its time to hang it up. Do some "behind the scenes" stuff but trying to perform like you did in the 70's is painful to watch.

    Sometimes distance makes the heart (music) grow stronger?
    these guys are nothing without each other... it's all in the chemistry, no matter how much they won't admit it...
    TOGETHER is the only way!
    Have your fun, make your money, entertain your loyal fans, don't forget what its like to get up and live like we do.???
    Keep the Music raw! and less pop.. Like Joe says "let the music do your talkin" Joe I'll see the JPP in Windsors Caesar's Nov.19th... always a loyal fan.
