Las Vegas 10/25/05

VH1 has Las Vegas 10/25/05 listed as a tour date. 10/25 is when Rockin the Joint comes out.


 

Ailing Aerosmith Drummer May Sit

The Boston Globe, MA
September 30, 2005

Here's a news flash: Word is Joey Kramer may not be with Aerosmith when the band hits the road next month to promote its smokin' new CD "Rockin' the Joint." But if you think Kramer has been booted, "Dream On." Kramer, who attended the Boston Music Awards the other night, is recovering from a shoulder injury, so the band will "Just Push Play" without him, at least temporarily. Who'll be behind the skins when the band plays Mohegan Sun and the TD Banknorth Garden? One option, we're told, is Kramer's kid, Jesse. Interestingly, Bebe Buell was also spied at the BMAs. The gold standard of rock groupies, Buell's been linked over the years to Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page, Todd Rundgren, Elvis Costello, and, of course, Aerosmith screamer Steven Tyler, with whom she had a daughter, the lovely Liv Tyler. . .


 

A Taste of The Bigs

Seattle Post Intelligencer
September 30, 2005

In case you've got $12,995 you're dying to get rid of, Major League Baseball will treat you like a big-leaguer for nine days.

For that low, low price, you can be on one of six 20-person teams and travel to six major league ballparks, playing games and receiving instruction from a slate of former major leaguers including Tony Phillips, Brett Saberhagen and former Mariners manager Maury Wills.

The program is run by a company called "Ultimate Experiences," whose partners include Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton.

The first tour begins Nov. 4 and tours the West Coast, starting in Phoenix and ending in Seattle.

No word on whether participants will be tested for steroids.

Rockin' The Joint

Pollstar
September 29, 2005

Aerosmith is set to heat up the chilly months with an arena tour. There are 14 initial dates starting October 30, all east of the Mississippi, but more shows are on the way as the road trip spreads across the country.

The Rockin' The Joint tour commences five days after the release of a new Aerosmith live DualDisc CD/DVD combo - Rockin' The Joint (Live At The Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas).

The concerts will feature a special stage setup designed to give fans on the floor the opportunity to get up close and sweaty with the band as it performs on the ramps extending from the stage to the middle of the auditorium. The layout is sure to give folks throughout the venue a better view of the show.

Aerosmith have invited Lenny Kravitz as their special guest on the tour. He'll be performing hits from his 15-year career with the help of his 10-piece band.

Talent, Unity Abound at Local Music Awards

Boston Globe, MA
September 29, 2005

So informal were this year's Boston Music Awards that it almost didn't seem to matter who won. They were once a more ornate affair held at either the Orpheum or the Wang Theatre, but last night they took place for the second time at the Avalon club...

Winners and presenters ranged from Keith Lockhart of the Boston Pops to hot local rockers Dear Leader and Lost City Angels, plus senior-citizen bluesman Weepin' Willie, who won a lifetime achievement trophy... Aerosmith's Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer gave the Hall of Fame award to the Neighborhoods, who played a strong mini-set recalling their punk-pop zenith....

Also on the list, such well-known Boston-bred entertainers as Tracy Chapman, Carly Simon, Bonnie Raitt and James Taylor, as well as newer groups such as the Pixies and Human Sexual Response.

Regarding concert pictures this tour

Some of you may already know about this but I urge everyone to read this.

Concert pictures will be done in a completely different system then the past tours, I am making it so it will be incredibly easy for everyone to post their own pictures to the site. You can view it by clicking on the headline above and give it a shot. You can upload random pictures to the TEST folder, PLEASE do not upload pictures to the other albums.

I've decided to use this new system (Coppermine) for a few reasons;
1) I am away at school now and do not have the same amount of free time I did the past tours to upload the pictures as soon as they were sent to me
2) There are more features this way. You can send each picture as an e-card, comment on pictures, vote on them, view slide shows, etc.

If you have a LOT of pictures to post (or you just don't know how to use the software), you DO NOT have to post them. You can still e-mail me your pictures and I will make sure everything gets posted in the right spot and you get credit for your pictures. Currently the limit is 10 pictures per upload, I can NOT make that higher even though I would like. This does not mean you can't upload 100 pictures, it would just take a little more time.

If you have any questions about using the upload feature or any other feature do not hesitate to ask on the message boards.

As always Aero247 will be your #1 source for Aerosmith News & Concert Pictures

Concert promoters hear fans singing the blues

USA Today
September 27, 2005

Sellers' market for hot live acts

...But popular performers usually call the tune, especially in rock and pop. They typically generate far more sales per concert than do performers in other genres, including R&B, hip-hop, country and Latin.

And the demand for hot acts seems to outweigh the supply.

"There aren't a lot of great bands out there that can put on a great rock show," says Aerosmith's Joe Perry. "They didn't come up in that environment, in that era before MTV where you really had to be a good live band."

Fans also don't have to settle for a mediocre show. "There are a lot of other kinds of acts and other things people can spend their money on now," Perry says....

With classics such as Sweet Emotion, Dream On and Walk This Way, Aerosmith is the quintessential American rock band and one that could headline any concert all by themselves.

Copycats? 'Boston' says 'Dream On'


(Boston magazine, October - 2005)


Boston Herald, MA
September 24, 2005

"Sheer coincidence."

That's how Boston magazine Editor Jon Marcus explained Steven Tyler's image appearing on the cover of the publication's October issue - just 48 hours after new rival Boston Common debuted featuring its own cover photo of the Aerosmith frontman.

Coincidence?

"This issue has been planned for more than a year," Marcus insisted. "We decided on the cover a month ago."

Boston Common, Niche Media LLC's newest publication, says it tapped Tyler three months ago. Boston Common slaps an "exclusive" label on its fall cover - and it's got a point. Tyler, 57, posed for a photo shoot and spoke with Editor Kim Atkinson about Aerosmith's new album, "Rockin' the Joint," his new clothing line, his home and his friends.

Boston magazine commissioned an oil painting of Tyler for its cover and uses a series of illustrations (including one from The Simpsons), which Marcus says were "more appropriate" for a Tyler tribute issue. Marcus said an interview with Tyler wasn't necessary, though he concedes "we talked to his people" about it.

Still, it's clear Boston magazine didn't just slap together its Tyler issue, which offers an in-depth look at various sides of the rock legend through the eyes of award-winning writers.

Calling Tyler "the most lyrical singer ever to front a hard-rock band," writer Andrew Corsello describes how the vocalist's voice "shoots up an impossible octave into pure thin air."

Niche Media CEO Jason Binn had nothing to say on the cover stories story.

Putting aside the question of who tried to steal who's thunder, dueling Tylers on the magazines' covers should fuel an already promising magazine rivalry.


 

Tyler has it covered

The Boston Globe, MA
September 24, 2005

Forgive us for thinking we could look forward to something different from the city's newest glossy mag. But Steven Tyler, the guy on the cover of Boston Common's first issue, also graces the cover of Boston magazine's October edition. "Sheer coincidence," said Boston's editor, Jon Marcus. The cover of Boston magazine, which hits stands Tuesday, is an oil painting of Aerosmith's singer by Roberto Parada that the mag's editors say was commissioned in July. Marcus said his magazine learned about Boston Common's cover in the newspaper on the day of Boston magazine's publication deadline. "It's a music issue," Marcus said. "Who else would you put on the cover other than Tyler?"

Joe Perry in Mojo Magazine - 10-05

October 2005 (#143):

Joe Perry Self Portrait

The Guitar half of Aerosmith's Toxic Twins, in his own words and by his own hand.

I'd describe myself as...a hard-working, red-blooded American young boy, a musician and a fascinated observer of history and human doings!

Music changed me...as a performer and artist and also as a fan. It's one of the most important things in a person's life, but on the other hand it's just entertainment. We provide an outlet, give people something, some bright spots, that give a diversion from a life that has a lot of ups and downs.

My biggest vice...is spending money. I outspend my wife on clothes three to one. I also collect antique weapons, such as swords. That's why I love Europe so much. They have the best markets and stalls to pick these things up on the sidewalks.

The last time I cried...was when my father-in-law died a couple of years ago. I have no problem with crying.

The best book I ever read...is Islands In The Stream by Ernest Hemingway.

If I had to choose between Vinyl, CD or MP3...it would be vinyl any day. It sounds the best.

When we die...I'm on the fence here. I was born and raised a Catholic, and I don't buy into that stuff, but I don't know if we simply turn into vapour or whether our life energy lives on. Whether that energy is created by electrical impulses or a higher state of consciousness I don't know, but I do think there might be another state of reality where that life energy goes. There are too many unanswered questions to dismiss this, such as sightings of ghosts and spirits - what caused them? But then again we might just drop off and that's it.

I'd like to be remembered as...a good father. I hope my memory gives my family, my kids and their kids the strength to soldier on and make the most out of life. We don't know where we're going after this and everyday is precious.

(as told to Lois Wilson)

Rockin the Joint press release

DualDisc From America's Greatest Rock 'N' Roll Band Features the Live
Album Debut of Classic Album Cuts, Set List Staples and Recent Hits Including
'Seasons Of Wither,' 'Rattlesnake Shake,' 'Big Ten Inch Record,' 'I Don't Want
To Miss A Thing' and More

Rockin' The Joint (Live At The Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas) in Stores October 25

NEW YORK, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Aerosmith -- Steven Tyler, Joe Perry,
Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer -- has rolled up a smoking set
list sure to get fans buzzing on Rockin' The Joint (Live At The Hard Rock
Hotel Las Vegas), a new live DualDisc release capturing America's Greatest
Rock 'n' Roll Band at its swaggering best. Recorded in January 2002 during an
intimate club date at The Joint in the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel, Rockin' The
Joint showcases prime Aerosmith in rare performances of vintage album cuts and
recent rock tunes in front of 3,000 hardcore fans. Rockin' The Joint will be
in stores on Tuesday, October 25.

The audio-only side of Rockin' The Joint contains 11 tracks, including the
live album debut of the fan favorite "Seasons Of Wither" from 1974's Get Your
Wings, "No More No More," a seldom-played album track from 1975's Toys in the
Attic, and a cover of the Fleetwood Mac chestnut "Rattlesnake Shake," one of
the first songs the band ever played together and a staple of early tours.
Also included are the live debuts of "Beyond Beautiful" and "Light Inside"
from 2001's Just Push Play and "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing," the Rock 'n'
Roll Hall of Fame Inductees' first mega-hit that went to #1.

"'Seasons of Wither' is one of my all-time favorite Aerosmith songs, but
we never used to play it live in the old days," recalls Steven Tyler. "Over
the years, it's really become an Aerocult favorite and always gets a major
reaction on the rare occasion we drop it into the set list. It means a lot to
me to finally give fans a killer live version of this song."

"We went back to the beginning of the band's career for some of these
songs," says guitarist Joe Perry. "We had fun knocking the dust off them but
it was a little nerve-racking too, because we hadn't played some of the songs
in a while. I think we've only played 'No More No More' live a total of 20
times in our entire career. We were going on muscle memory for some of these,
which gave our performance an edge."

New live versions of songs available on previous live albums include "Same
Old Song And Dance" which first appeared on 1978's Live Bootleg, "Big Ten Inch
Record," last heard live on Aerosmith's 1991 career compilation Pandora's Box,
plus inspired new versions of "Train Kept A Rollin'" and "Walk This Way."

The DVD side of Rockin' The Joint boasts the entire album in Enhanced PCM
Stereo along with four explosive performances filmed at The Joint including
"No More No More" and "Draw the Line" plus the DVD-only tracks, "Dream On" and
"Sweet Emotion." The DVD also captures some behind-the-scenes footage shot
during the Vegas show and on the road during Aerosmith's triumphant Just Push
Play tour.

The band plans to return to the studio this spring to record the follow-up
to 2004's critically acclaimed and commercially successful blues album,
Honkin' On Bobo.
