If we are to believe all that we are told, things are looking bright for Aerosmith. A few days have passed since a twitter post from guitarist Joe Perry got people talking about Steven Tyler leaving the band, and it seems as if the two are tighter than ever. Why, Tyler even jumped onstage with the Joe Perry Project in New York to blast out Walk This Way! Steven Tyler took the opportunity to let us all in on the news that he would not be leaving Aerosmith. “New York, I want you to know I’m not leaving Aerosmith,” Tyler said. “Joe Perry, you are a man of many colors, but I, motherfucker, am the rainbow!” Tyler not leaving, nice quote to say so, and all is well between Perry and Tyler. Listen to the story from Joe Perry’s vantage point. It sounds like things are not settled between guitarist and singer. “There was all this commotion during our encore break and somebody said, Steven is here.” Perry says. “And I was like, what?” Tyler asked to get in on the encore. “Being an acquaintance of 40 years, I said, why not?” So he came up and sang and that was the last I saw of him.” I wonder what you have to do to be considered a ‘friend’ of Joe Perry’s? Rocking out together for four decades only gets you to acquaintance, so the man must demand at least a blood offering to be considered his buddy. Perry went on to talk a bit more about the differences between Tyler and himself, saying “He (Tyler) wants to take two years off from the band. The rest of the band wants to keep on working. We have so many different options to fill up that time. Anything is possible at this point. Basically, any communication that we’ve had over the last couple of months has been through managers, so that’s been pretty strange… I never won any money trying to second-guess what goes on in Steven’s mind. I guess this is just Aerosmith business as usual.” I guess things aren’t so great between the man of many colors and the rainbow after all.
