Aerosmith Drama!
It seems that Aerosmith's recording and touring break are not just due Steven Tyler's injuries from a recent stage accident - it's also due to his ego!
According to the band's co-leader Joe Perry, Tyler has not spoken to his bandmates since the accident in early August. And if he does have to communicate, he does it through his new management team.
For a band that's been together 40 years, that's cold!!
The two haven't even composed a piece together for the past 10 years!
"I'm down in my studio every day, writing, and for some reason he wants to write with people like (songwriter) Mark Hudson and whatever," said Perry. "I can't explain it."
He's been writing songs and using them for himself on his doomed solo album!
But, Perry still wants the band back!
"I'm an eternal optimist. We've been though some pretty thin times and some pretty thick times, and there have been periods when Steven and I - for no reason other than just to get some space - have not talked to each other for months. Then we get back together and things mesh," he said. "I think we need more time to get everybody healthy and the whole thing, and see if Steven wants to be part of the band again."
Aerosmith is legally obligated to play several shows in Hawaii at the end of October, so only time will tell if they can make amends!
Or just retire!!!

Quote Of The Day
Aerosmith sold out a long, long time ago.
…40 years is longer than most marriages. Add to the equation the travel, success, stress and most importantly, the creative process and it is a lot to handle.
For yearrrrs it's been Tyler who's kept the band together. Who is your source Perez? This story is extremely hard to believe!!!
Re: twi-addict – HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT MUSIC SO DONT LISTEN TO HIM.
Doomed solo album? God! Perez is so stupid! (And hate-filled…)
I find this extremely hard to believe as well. And Aerosmith never sold out, I don't think very many bands sell sold out shows anymore like they still do.
Re: LizardKinG – I know, and this aggravates me.
i love them!!
i feel so lucky that we got just in time to see one of theyr last concertssss
This is old ass news. Everyone in the rock world of news knows Steven Tyler is hated by the other band members not only because he can't stay on the wagon, but because is ego is M F HUGE. Just because its a slow news day, Perez, doesn't mean you can fool us with rotten info.
that´s not called EGO… that´s cuz we all need our space !!
they´re like a marriage, and that happens, they´ve been togeather for 40 years, that´s a whole life!
of course they can´t do everything togeather or work exclusively with each other!
they are individuals who also have projects aside of aerosmith, and that´s ok !
i think you´re just exaggerating and being a liar!
i´ve met steven tyler before and he is one of the kindest and most noble persons i´ve ever met in my entire life !… what you´re trying to say it is so not true!
STEVEN TYLER ROCKS !!!!!!!! love him 4 ever
This is about the stupidest "news" story you have ever posted. It's junk.
Did any of them visit him or give him a hand through his ordeal? Yeah.
Sometimes disasters show you who your true friends are, and it can cause hurt and withdrawel. Not saying this happened here, but it makes sense, considering.
LOVE Steven Tyler…always have, always will. "Doomed solo album"…I would buy it and have no doubt a lot of others would too. Aerosmith is great BUT Steven is the voice.
"Make Amends"….don't think we don't know what you were up to when using that line.
Won't believe for a second Perez SORRRY but NOOOO! You have also posted wrong things before as I have seen from the stars themselves…what is your source on this??? This is so questionable.
I love aerosmith..
that's REAL rock, dude..
