Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler exudes the coolness of a veteran rock star, but the former New Hampshire lad is a gadget geek at heart. In the new issue of Private Air magazine, the rocker shows off a watch that contains a 007-like emergency beacon that he says he smuggled into the US from France. "These are illegal in the States, but I had to have one," Tyler (left) gushes. (He also talks about the band, which just finished its biggest tour in years, promising that their next album - their last for Sony - will be "a nice, real record.") Tyler loves flying (he estimates he's leased hundreds of jets), founded Red Wing Motorcycles with a couple of family members, and once was in training to fly in the Russian space shuttle program. "The only reason I passed on it was because of my kids," Tyler tells the magazine. "But, I was ready. I was so ready."
