"here's one from the band from Boston that all the drugs in the world couldn't kill..."
And in honor of Brad's birthday, they played later last night,
all of Toys in the attic and all of Nine Lives.

The latest Total Guitar magazine (April 98) has Aerosmith on the front cover of its CD which accompanies the mag, It has Walk This Way with full backing track on it. The mag carries the Tab. Also in the mag is a feature with pictures & extracts from the biography. Although this is a UK magazine It has been seen in the USA.

Incase anyone gives a shit.....Yes it was a Joe Perry signature. the signature was there, you could see it pretty clearly at some points.

Nine Lives down 10 to #72
Pink up 7 to #29.

Aerosmith didn't win :(
The Wallflowers won for Best Rock Performance by a Duo Or Group
and John Fogerty won for Best Rock Album.

In one of the following (Don't know wich) Guitar Player, Guitar World, or Guitar they had a Reader's Poll thing for best album of the year, Nine Lives was rated second to Aerosmith's former support act, Kenny Wayne Shepperd.

There were some rumors that the oldest Hanson brother was playing a Joe Perry signature Les Paul on the Grammy awards. but i have now been informed that it was just a regular studio Les Paul. But it is the same guitar that was used in Livin On The Edge Video!

But i have also been told that the guys has rated Nine Lives as their favorite album of the year and that the youngest Hanson brother has Pink as his favourite song and they even mentioned Aerosmith on Swedish TV without any reason so i supose they are pretty big fans of our bad boyz

Pink dropped 11 places to 18 on the MTV top 20 countdown. =(

In the Jan/Feb 1998 issue of Boating Life magazine

mmy Pink debuts at #36 on Billboardīs Hot 100 singles

Nine Lives keeps climbing, up 2 to 62
(it is now 48 weeks since it debuted on the charts)

The Pink video is continuing its slow and steady climb up the MTV charts. It is now #7.

For those of you who missed it the first few times it played, the MTV Grammy Special with Matt Pinfield, Steven Tyler, and Joe Perry will be airing again Fri. 2/20 at 2 PM EST and on Sat. 2/21 at 12:30 PM. It lasts one hour and is very cool!

the Uncensored Version of Pink Is airing frequently on MTV Brazil And it's currently on #8 On Top 20 Brazil and Nine Lives Is currently in # 78 in Top 100 album Chart

Found this on the net:

I was at an Aerosmith concert a few weeks ago in New Haven, CT, and some guy had a laser pointer, and kept shining it on Steven Tyler, so after about the 3rd song, the guy did it again to Steven, and Steven says looking up in the seats at the guy,"Hey Mr. Laser Pointer up there, do me a favor, bend over and shove that thing up your ass.!!"..The place went nuts, and he never shined it for the rest of the night.!

knlbryan@earthlink.net reports
After listening to Radio Disney FOREVER (or it seemed like it anyway), I finally heard Steven's version of "I Love Trash" this morning...and I gotta say that song NEVER sounded like that! Wow! The Demon was screamin'! It sounded like he had SOOOOO much fun doing it! I KNOW I had fun listening to it!

Did a little web searching and found that the Elmopalooza album is scheduled for release on February 24 (next Tuesday). It's a Sony release (Guess that at least partially explains Steven's participation), and the Sony Catalog # (per the Music Blvd site) is 63433.

It's too bad that Steven did't participate in the upcoming TV special....this would have made one WILD video!

There is an uncensored version of the Pink video which has been seen in Italy. They show the tatoo lady dancing around topless and the girl in the tight blue dress walks toward the camera and her breast falls out. She laughs and turns around.
Thats something we all would like to see, right. he he

Taste of India is now #2 on rock radio charts.

CNN has a grammy poll in which you can vote for Aerosmith in BOTH the Best Rock Album Category AND The Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group.
http://cnn.com/SPECIALS/1998/showbiz/grammy/vote/rock.html

it looks pretty good right now Aerosmith is in front in each nomination, and U2 is pretty far after wich i think is pretty strange since they were in front of Aerosmith pretty long in the USA today poll

go check out http://www.98online.com under the peep shows section for some pictures of our boys. They're not that great, but I doubt you've seen them before.

It was on 98 Rock Baltimore and the person that heard it actually liked it a lot. The song is basically the same, except the bass and drums are kicked up and the guitars don't dominate the song.

if you haven't seen it already, there's a new, members-only section of the AF1 website with audio Valentine's Day messages from the guys....well, at least from four of them.

http://www.fanasylum.com/aerosmith/aerosmith.html

On Feb 20 ABC will air a Sesame Street 30th anniversary special. There is a soundtrack that will also be out featuring a song by Steven Tyler "I Love Trash". No mention if the song will be heard on this special.. but it may.

Steven says the "well well well" on Nine Lives was inspired by AC/DC. when they were in Florida... and in an interview with Joe Perry on Rock Brigade (october/97), he mentions that too... he says he'd love to have a concert only with songs like the ones AC/DC plays

While CBS was getting ready to a commercial break at the Olympics, none other than Love is an Elevator was played as an intro to men's speedskating!
They also played Angel a few nights ago right before they went to a commercial.

t. AEROSMITH LET DOWN THOUSANDS OF FANS:

LOVE IN AN ELEVATOR rockers AEROSMITH have ended their American tour with a fizzle instead of a bang - by canceling their final show on short notice. Thousands of fans were turned away Wednesday night from the group's last show on this leg of the tour, in Dayton, Ohio. The show was canceled at the last minute due to an "unspecified ailment" affecting singer STEVEN TYLER. Hmmm - sounds a bit suspicious, don't ya think?? The group will now be starting their break a day earlier than planned. They head to Japan for a two week tour starting March 1st andthen will try and make up the missed date when they return to their home country.

Here is an article from a Dayton newspaper giving additional information that you did not in your Aerosmith item in the Thursday, February 12 edition of Cyber Sleaze...

Aerosmith: No Voice, No Show Steven Tyler's illness forces the band to cancel Wednesday's concert at the Nutter Center.
By Carol Simmons

You don't feel well, you call in sick. No big deal. Well, not if you're rock star Steven Tyler, lead singer of the veteran band, Aerosmith, which was scheduled to perform a near sell-out show Wednesday night at the Ervin J. Nutter Center at Wright State University. Tyler, reportedly diagnosed with viral laryngitis, called in sick Wednesday, and it was a very big deal for the concert's more than 9,500 ticket-holders. Some didn't know the performance had been called off until they arrived at the arena for the 8 p.m. curtain. The Nutter Center posted plastic signs along roads leading to the Center and lit up the venue's large marquee to notify people that the concert had been "postponed". But some still ventured up to the box office to confirm. Three 19-year old friends - Heidi Joseph, Carrie Lieb, and Laura Smith - had left work early to drive down from Lima. "We saw the sign and said "NO!" said Joseph. Other friends were also planning to make the trip, she said. Nutter Center management, which notified television and radio stations of the cancellation after they learned of Tyler's illness Wednesday afternoon, hopes to reschedule the concert in April, according to arena spokeswoman Laura Januzzi. Tickets for Wednesday night's show which cost $36.50, will be honored at the rescheduled date, she said. Refunds were not available Wednesday evening.

"Heavy Metalists Aerosmith, the kind of guys you'd expect to embrace puce, are percolating over pastel hue. Listen to these lyrics from a new song on their "Nine Lives" album.

Pink, its my new obsession
Yeah, pink, its not even a question
Pink on the lips of your lover
Cause pink is the love you discover
Pink is the color of passion
Cause today it just goes with the fashion

And the Aerosmith bunch aren't the only ones with a penchant for pink."
