http://survey.usatoday.com/survey/grammy.html - A-Z Aerosmith on 94.9 KGGO in central
Iowa!
Matt "Last Child" Keller reports
I have to tell you that I was in Aerosmith heaven yesterday. I was in
the shower around 2:00 in the afternoon, and I turned on the local
classic rock radio station. They were playing Blind Man. I thought,
"Hmm..strange...not really classic rock, and not that big of a hit."
This station would normally stick to the "Walk This Way"s and "Sweet
Emotions". But, I didn't think anything of it. Then, Bolivian
Ragamuffin starts....I was shocked...I had never heard this on the
radio! I thought it must be some sort of contest... Then, as I was
shaving, Bone to Bone came on, followed by Bright Light Fright!
Finally, I heard the promo. They did an A to Z Aerosmith! It took
nearly 12 hours to play EVERY song in the Aerosmith library! They even
played B-sides like Fall Together. It was incredible.
I only heard a
couple of mistakes:
-they played "Combination" when they meant to play "Rats in the Cellar"
(programming error? The girl DJing wouldn't have known the difference
I'm sure)t
-they played Sharpshooter off of Pandora's Box, surely thinking it was
an Aero tune
-they played "When I Needed You", probably also thinking it was an Aero
tune
-they also played several strange non-songs...like the "Let it Slide"
clip from Pandora's Box that was actually a prepubescent version of
Cheesecake.
But, they get an A+ for effort! Everybody thank 94.9 KGGO in central
Iowa!

AP-NY-01-29-98 0729EST - MissJen18 reports (on a Joe Perry interview)
I'm reminded why I love 101.1 WRIF
(Detroit) so much,
Joe Perry is being interviewed on the radio!
He's talking about how back in the day, they messed up so many hotel rooms
that he himself should own his own hotel:) LOL and how they'd make sure that
all the things they broke HAD to fit through the TV screen (LOL!)...
Ohh this is so fascinating! :listening: SET LISTS!!!!!!! They changed
the set around too?? *GASP* Toys.. Seasons... OHHH:) They keep copies of
the songs that they play in each city, and when they come back through that
city, they change it to fit what the audience wants to hear, what has been
requested.
ANGEL!!! He's talking about angel!! He's mentioning how they
played it a few nights ago.... but he doesnt think it's gonna stay on the set
list. Aw:( Oh what's this! He's saying why he doesnt like it... He doesnt
like to play it because "It's SO 1986.. I mean.... I can see us playing crazy
for the next, like, 20 years and it won't sound dated or anything, you know?"
Hmm... its sounding like this might not be in the set list for the 2/10 show..
damn!! Oh my god:) :) AHH This is soo neat though!! I dont care if they
play it or not (Though it would be nice)... This band is the BEST!!
Ohh he's off the air now! They're talking about how nice (and CLEAN they<
added) he was! They're just complimenting him and everything!! Ohh how
wonderful!! Yay! :) I just wanna give all the people on WRIF a HUGE hug
right now:)

it's getting some playing on the radio and it was number 3 on a music video tv show called "voxpop" and the guy that presents the videos said that it was his favourite
You probably didn't care about this but i thought it was pretty cool since "FIL" & "HIMS" almost didn't get any attention when they were released
incase you want to know who they were after, it was the great band "rage against the machine" and the worst band "back street boy" or as i say "back SHIT boys" - Listen to "Love in an elevator" (live) in real audio
Aerosmith did a session for Dutch
TV late last year.
jan.30 1998 they'll show
"Love in an Elevator" from that session.

which i think is the highest
position it has had since I think early Sept 97. - It will be a strong bias on the Geffen material with a few of the old
Columbia classics on the New Live Album.
- Mainstream Rock Tracks
1. Given To Fly, '' Pearl Jam. Epic.
2. Touch, Peel And Stand, '' Days Of The New. Outpost.
3. My Own Prison, '' Creed. Wind-Up.
4. 3 AM, '' Matchbox 20. Lava.
5. Back On Earth, '' Ozzy Osbourne. Epic.
6. Taste Of India, '' Aerosmith. Columbia.
7. Wash It Away, '' Black Lab. DGC.
8. The Memory Remains, '' Metallica. Elektra.
9. The Girl I Love, '' Led Zeppelin. Atlantic.
10. Everlong, '' Foo Fighters. Roswell.
Compiled from a national sample of airplay.
To me it seems like the best groups are the ones that are below Aerosmith
(then i think of Metallica, Led Zeppelin,the Foo fighters and Ozzy) - Aerosmith Stars in Get Shorty Sequel
Hot off the bestseller lists with its memoir, Walk This Way,
Aerosmith is about to appear in another book—this time a novel.
The
Boston bad boys will be the main rock band featured in Be Cool, the
sequel to Get Shorty, by author Elmore Leonard, who's currently
riding high thanks to Jackie Brown, Quentin Tarantino's adaptation of
his book Rum Punch.
Ind
In Be Cool, Chili Palmer—the gangster who made it big as a film
producer in Get Shorty and was portrayed in the film by John
Travolta—enters the world of rock and roll.
Leonard has been
attending concerts and interviewing rock luminaries as they passed
through the Detroit area, where the author lives. He met Aerosmith
during a tour stop there last fall; the group members visited his
suburban Detroit home, and Leonard even played some tennis with
bassist Tom Hamilton.
There's no firm publication date for Be Cool
yet, but it's expected the novel will be turned into a film, and that
Aerosmith will provide at least one song for the soundtrack.

Aero flight hits minor turbulence
Talk about a turbulent flight! Aerosmith main man Steven Tyler and the band's deposed manager, Tim Collins, found themselves on the same American Airlines jet from Los Angeles to Boston the other day.
But even though the two split ugly - with Tyler accusing Collins of being a sobriety Nazi and Collins accusing Tyler of slipping back into his old druggie ways - our spies report that no blows were exchanged.
"They shook hands and everything," said Someone Who Was There.
Collins hasn't spoken to Tyler in more than a year, not since the day he was called to the Four Seasons and summarily dismissed after 12 years of service.
But the ex-manager, who's now riding rubyhorse, said the encounter was not unpleasant and it was "bound to happen" sooner or later.
"It was great to see him," Collins said. "Although our conversation was incredibly short. I still think he's the greatest frontman who ever lived."

- Here's a story from Anne-Lise:
Over the weekend, I saw a TV documentary called "Rock Stars' Wives". I thought I'd give it a go to see if they mentioned any of Aerosmith. Bebe Buell came on and started talking about her time with Tod Rungren and how eventually she started an affair with her daughter's father, Steven Tyler! She talked about how she had made a conscious decision to be with Steven, but couldn't go through with it, because there was too much cocaine all the time, and as she was expecting Liv, she couldn't stay in that environment. It was just really interesting to hear it in her own words. I've never seen her talk before and she seems very down to earth with a good sense of humour. Another thing that interested me, was seeing how big she was compared with Steven. She towered over him and was a much bigger build (as in body frame) than him...
