AEROSMITH's STEVEN TYLER Helps 'American Idol' Bounce Back - Apr. 12, 2011
According to Bloomberg.com, the current season of "American Idol" — featuring AEROSMITH frontman Steven Tyler as one of the judges — is averaging 25 million viewers a night, matching last year. The program has lost viewers since 2007.
"I'm surprised as anyone the show's bounced back," Hal Vogel, a media analyst in New York, told Bloomberg.com. "The new judges appear to appeal to a wide demographic. It's likely the show really does have more life left — longer than I'd expected."
Although season 10 started with a 12 percent drop in viewers in January, Fox ratings began to exceed the prior year's episodes on February 3, according to Nielsen data supplied by the network.

Re: Aerosmith Discussion
I've seen maybe a couple of minutes of the show this year, I hate the show and refuse to watch it. From what I hear, the new judges are terrible, even Steven. But the ratings sure don't reflect that. I thought/hoped this would be the death of American Idol, but apparently not.

Yeah but it's gotta be a turn on seeing her in GN'R t-shirts. 
I used to really like her as a vocalist, I thought she was really strong.
Maybe she needs a break or something, but she's really going downhill, she's starting to pull a Jagger, and starting to "talk her way" through songs on stage live, not sing. Faith Hill eventually did the same thing, and she started out a strong vocalist too.

The show has been fucking awful since the first day it premiered. It's always been a porn, cum, money shot on the faces of Americans for Ford, Coca-Cola, and Fox Corp. since day one.

STEVEN TYLER Says He And JOE PERRY Did Drugs Together As Recently As 2008 - Apr. 27, 2011
AEROSMITH frontman Steven Tyler told Rolling Stone magazine in a new interview that during the band's ill-fated attempt to cut a new album with producer Brendan O'Brien a couple years back, he did drugs with guitarist Joe Perry for the first time in years. "It was just like 30 years before," Tyler said. "I whipped out mine, he whipped out his and we got high together again. I say to Joe, 'Wow, man, how you been, it's been, what, 17 years since we got high together? Joe, you've been fucking running away from me ever since.' "
He added, "Joe was high and he couldn't play. I couldn't sing, really, because I was snorting everything, and it fucks up your throat. It was the wrong time."
In May, Tyler will release his autobiography, "Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?" Around that time he'll release the first solo single of his entire career, a poppy tune called "Feels So Good". "I can hear it coming out of people's cars this summer," he s

Steven Tyler Tells All: The Real Story Behind His Aerosmith Battles and 'American Idol' Triumph
'Did I take this job to show the band?' he says. 'F—k yeah'

Watch: Steven Tyler reminisces at his Rolling Stone cover shoot in the video below.
The new issue of Rolling Stone, on stands and in the digital archive on April 29th, includes an in-depth cover story on Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, who is overflowing with positive energy. "I'm really lucky right now," Tyler says as he hikes to a edge of a Laurel Canyon cliff. "I'm on top of the world: I'm Hollywood's little fuckin' sweetheart, basically."
In the story, Tyler talks about his motivation for signing on as an American Idol judge – a move he made after his bandmates threatened to throw him out of Aerosmith. "Did I take this job to show the band?" he says. "Fuck, yeah. Not to show them, but that I can't be held hostage anymore. I will be my own hostage. The band can't throw me out."
Tyler is awestruck at the Idol finalists' level of talent: “You know what, out of the 20 kids you saw tonight," he says, after watching an Idol episode at home, "if you could just sprinkle 10 years of smoking pot, getting fucked up, getting laid, getting fucked, and 10 years of just life, which one of those people wouldn’t be a star?”
Tyler was one of about 40 people that the show's producers interviewed to replace Simon Cowell. "I actually saw Roger Daltrey," says Fox exec Mike Darnell. "He came in and was the complete reverse of Steve, very formal, his hair was cut, he looked like a regular guy. He had lost that sort of rock & roll charm. But Steven was unbelievably charming."
Most of the members of AEROSMITH spent a few days in late January/eary February working on songs for a new album with co-writer Marti Frederiksen at a studio in Los Angeles. The only man missing was Joe Perry, who was unable to join his bandmates for the sessions due to what Billboard.com described as an "unspecified commitment."
Although a recent New York Post article indicated that AEROSMITH was "unable to work" due to singer Steven Tyler's "American Idol" gig, Tyler's attorney Dina LaPolt responded, "Mr. Tyler's 'American Idol' contract was specifically negotiated to work around his AEROSMITH touring and recording schedule."
"Steven has been really good at selling the idea among his bandmates that the band is No. 1 and this is where his heart is," bassist Tom Hamilton told BostonHerald.com. "I look forward to him demonstrating that."
"I am bursting at the seams to [make a new album] and have been for a long time," Hamilton said. "Everybody's head is into it, and once Steven is done with his TV gig, we get to work and damned if we don't have a finished record by the end of September."
