Aerosmith go up 250%
The Hollywood Reporter has reported that, since Steven Tyler sold out for the millionth time became a judge on American Idol, Aerosmith‘s album sales have gone up by 250 percent.
Wow, that must mean Aerosmith have sold 250 albums. Congrats guys.
I’m wondering now if perhaps all the Metal artists in need of sales boosts should make TV appearances too. Imagine Glenn Benton on Songs of Praise, Robb Flynn on Glee, or Seth Putnam on The Hills. Wouldn’t that be like totally awesome?
Joe Perry tweets a lot
This can’t be the 70s, right? I mean, I’m blogging, Joe Perry is texting, there’s 3D mature porn streaming on my laptop — this has to be the 2000s.
So if we’re not in the 70s, why would anyone care if Joe is still in Aerosmith?
Well, whatever, apparently he is. And apparently he can also work a computer, because he confirmed this on his Twitter account.
“I am in Aerosmith. I am not going anywhere. The band isn’t writing any more. It was only for 8 days. If ya need a jolt get my last solo CD“

I didn’t know senior citizens could tweet. That’s adorable!

Steven Tyler said no to Led Zeppelin
And pigs flew out of his mouth today. According to Mr. Idol, he was offered a spot in the band after the full-time reunion of Led Zeppelin with Robert Plant didn’t work out in 2007:
“I looked Jimmy in the eyes and it came time for him to say, ‘You want to write a record with me?’” Tyler said. “I went, ‘No.’ I’m in Aerosmith. He’s in the biggest band in the world and I’m in a band like that. I have such an allegiance to my band and I love it so much.”
I’ve never bought an Aerosmith album, and I’m not buying this either. I mean, is there an easier way to hype up your new album and keep fans calm, than to say you’re so loyal to them, you actually refused to play in a good band?
By the way, his hype building abilities aren’t that great, because all the drama earlier didn’t really help American Idol, whose premiere took a dive. Guess America said no to him, because they’re loyal to their Brit.
Steven Tyler is a professional
Even though Steven Tyler ditched Aerosmith to judge a reality show, he’s now making it seem like he’s the one being ditched… Pretty clever, huh?
“I’m trying to rally the guys together. We’re having trouble getting Joe. I don’t know where he is, but just come down to L.A. at the end of January sometime. I’ve had enough downtime.“

I think I know where Joe is. He’s whoring himself out on some TV show… Oh wait, no, that’s not him…
Sully Erna isn't a Kid Rock but an American Idol fan
To get you started; Kid Rock isn’t an American Idol fan, Steven Tyler isn’t a Kid Rock fan and Godsmack’s Sully Erna isn’t a Kid Rock fan but an American Idol fan.
What is this, Battle of the has-beens? If it is, I don’t think Erna qualifies for it because to become a has-been you have to have had a career of some sort. Bummer.
Anyhow, in response to Kid Rock’s comments, Erna said the following;
“Kid Rock needs to shut up. That’s not true. This is gonna be great for TV, man. It’s supposedly the right thing to do to is to rag on a show like that ’cause it’s so popular, and everybody that has a problem most of the time, they have a problem with something that’s really popular — it’s the envy/jealousy thing; I don’t know what it is. I’m not saying that’s what it is with Kid Rock, because I get along with him fine. But I have to disagree. I think it’s brilliant that Steven Tyler is gonna be one of the judges; I think it’s gonna be so good.”
And when asked what he thought about Tyler’s decision to be part of American Idol, he said:
“I think it’s brilliant. Beyond good. I think he’s gonna be the male Paula Abdul, ’cause he’s a little bit dingy, you know what I mean?! He’s probably all pilled up, and he’s gonna be funny. I mean, he’s witty, he’s really witty.”
Most interesting story of 2010… not. I wonder what Kid Rock has to say about it. Really, I do… not.
