From what I hear it is a pretty short cameo with Steven playing Record Producer David Foster. I also hear that when Steven shot the movie...he had just gotten his yellow streak in his hair.

The "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" single debuted in the #1
position on the U.S. Billboard "Hot 100 Singles" charts!

The "Armageddon" soundtrack fell 2 points from last week
to end up @ the #4 position...Now, in it's 9th week of release!
{Selling another 154,000 copies in the process!}

"Big Ones" climbed 3 points from last week
to end up at #206 in it's 9th week back on the charts!

"Nine Lives" fell another 12 points this week
to end up at #232 in it's 75th week of release!

When my collection of cassette tapes started to overflow the milk crate in my closet, I knew it was time to upgrade to CD technology. But how could I decide which Aerosmith tape to replace first? Lucky for me, CDnow has just announced its Greatest Hits CD special -- dozens of choices for $9.99 or less! Now I can hear all those classics by Poison and Night Ranger in clear digital sound without blowing my whole paycheck.

Disc One:
1} "Eat the Rich"
2} "Love in an Elevator"
3} "Falling in Love (Is Hard on the Knees)"
4} "Same Old Song and Dance"
5} "Hole in My Soul"
6} "Monkey on My Back"
7} "Livin' on the Edge"
8} "Cryin'"
9} "Rag Doll"
10} "Angel"
11} "Janie's Got a Gun"
12} "Amazing"

Disc Two:
13} "Back in the Saddle"
14} "Last Child"
15} "The Other Side"
16} "Walk on Down"
17} "Dream On"
18} "Crazy"
19} "Mama Kin"
20} "Walk This Way"
21} "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)"
22} "What it Takes"
23} "Sweet Emotion"

Casey Kasem said "Aerosmith broke the record held by Yes..."
It was 25 years from the first time they hit the charts to their first number one.... With Yes it was about 14 years or something..."

This the first Aerosmith single to hit #1 on the American Top 40.
The closest they have come before was #3 with "Angel"

Q: Am I the only one who sees a resemblance between Ally McBeal chantreuse Vonda Shepard and Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler?

A: No; she hears that a lot- and loves it. "He's so much fun," Shepard tells us. "I'd love to be him for a month or something. There's a part of me that dreamed of being a rocker like that, especially when I've been sitting at the piano writing." Shepard, 34, is having plenty of fun herself right now. The success of Ally has given her a much wider audience. She's touring and plans a new release for March.

"We start writing the new album on Monday. Joe has a beautiful studio in the basement of his house, he's got a great set of drums and we'll sit down and start jamming away 'til we're done."

I Don't know what he ment with this since the next album is gonna be a live one, maybe they're working on a new studio album or maybe they will recorded some new songs for the Live one?

Now i've found some Articles about this:

Rolling Stone Magazine: "You Wont Want to Miss a Thing":

Since quite a few folks (to put it mildly) have expressed interest in seeing Liv Tyler in the buff, a few denizens of the literary world think that there might also be some interest in snapshots of papa Steven Tyler au naturel.

Yes, we're pretty skeptical about the notion too, but the literary agent for the Aerosmith leader's ex-wife Cyrinda Foxe-Tyler (the two were married from '78-'87), is reportedly peddling a new improved edition of Dream On, which Cyrinda wrote about her hubby's debauched heyday.

The hard-cover version of the soft-core tome, originally published in '96, has already faded from bookstore shelves in the wake of the original publishing company's demise. But having regained rights to the manuscript, Cyrinda is now promising a paperback version replete with some even seedier tales and a passel of photos that -- according to a source close to the project -- "leave nothing to the imagination."

While we hate to spend too long thinking about the spectacle -- lunch being right around the corner and all -- we can imagine getting some use out of the photographs, if only to get Steve's tips on some new uses for all those scarves.

DAVID SPRAGUE
(August 18, 1998)

New York Post: "TYLER: Baring all":

NEWLY discovered pornographic pix are expected to embellish the paperback edition of "Dream On," Cyrinda Foxe-Tyler's sensational sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll memoir. The snaps are of Cyrinda and her ex-hubby, Steve Tyler of Aerosmith. "Some rock mavens say that this is the nastiest, juciest and most in-your-face chronicle of that world yet," said one Cyrinda fan. The hardback was published by the now defunct Dove but Cyrinda recently regained the paperback rights and is waiting for publishers to bid for the A-list saga that includes everybody from emaciated pal Andy Warhol to not-so-emaciated model daughter Mia Tyler.

The New York Post

Q: What's you guilty pleasure?

A: "Getting Godiva chocolate on my king size Chinchilla bedspread while we're naked" --STEVEN TYLER, Aerosmith

Also... in the newest Metal Edge's "Metal Wire" section there are three different pics with the boyz from the Armageddon premire. One with Steven and Liv Hugging, One with Joe and that Steve Buchemie, and another of the whole band!

"Armageddon - The Score - Coming This Fall"

Movie's usually release two albums...A soundtrack album and a score album. The soundtrack has artists on it and the score has usually instrumentals (orchestral arrangements).

One CD single found at a record chain called "The Wall."
Has the following track listing:

1. "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" (Album Version)
2. "Animal Crackers"
3. "Taste Of India" {Rock Re-Mix}

Another Version is the IDWTMAT cassette single
That could be found on "Sam Goody" in NYC:

Side 1
1. IDWTMAT
2. Animal Crackers

Side 2
1. Taste of India - Rock Remix

"WALK THIS WAY will be released in paperback
in February of 1999."

How low will she go to get her fuckin' book to sell?
On the same note, let's not say horrible things about Cyrinda
--out of respect for, and only for the fact that she is Mia's mother.

Skydiver Killed at Ill. Meet
.c The Associated Press

QUINCY, Ill. (AP) -- A California man who helped pioneer sky surfing fell to his death when his parachute failed to open properly during a skydiving convention.

Jerry Loftis, 29, of Modesto, known worldwide for his sky surfing exploits, was killed Friday while participating at the World Free Fall Convention at Baldwin Field, outside Quincy.

He was completing a sky-surfing maneuver during a free fall from about 16,000 feet when his parachute failed to deploy, said Adams County coroner Gary Hamilton.

Loftis did cut away the main parachute, but he was unable to get his reserve chute out in time. He landed on the airport's runway, Hamilton said.

Approximately 3,000 skydivers are participating in the two-week free-fall convention in Quincy, a Mississippi River town.

...Loftis was considered an expert sky surfer, a sport that involves jumping out of an airplane from an altitude of two miles and then doing flips and twists on a 5-pound, 55-inch sky-board. Sky surfers use their board as a platform to manipulate wind currents, which allows them to perform aerial acrobatics while hurtling toward the ground.

Loftis, who began skydiving nine years ago in Lodi, Calif., appeared on national television shows such as Regis and Kathy Lee, and in commercials for Mountain Dew, Sun Tiger sunglasses and the HBO cable television network. He also appeared in the Aerosmith music video ``Amazing.''

Loftis is survived by his wife, Quetta, and two daughters, Kristen, 6, and Sarah, 4, all of Modesto.

The Patriot Ledger

BRAINTREE -- Cristyn Alfano's spirits passed cloud nine weeks ago. Tuesday, the 12-year-old said she was on ``cloud 60.'' It's been a magical summer for Cristyn, who suffers from chronic renal failure, is legally blind and soon must undergo two operations, one to install a catheter in her abdomen, the other to transplant her two failing kidneys.

The telephone doesn't often ring for Cristyn because children her age tend to shy away. Cristyn has only peripheral vision and must walk with a long red, white and blue cane leading the way.

But recently, the phone in family's Cleveland Avenue apartment began ringing off the hook. First it was Aerosmith's lead singer, Stephen Tyler.

Then came the news about the shopping spree. Not many 12-year-olds go on daylong shopping excursions with a chauffeur in tow. But Tuesday, as the saying goes, Cristyn shopped until she dropped. ``This is better than Christmas,'' Cristyn announced Tuesday afternoon, as she sat surveying items from Filene's, Bath and Body Works, JC Penny and Claire's, that were spread across the living room floor.

Her new bird, Taj, named after one of Stephen Tyler's daughters, squawked in the background. It was a long day for Cristyn, who began shopping shortly after 9 a.m., paused around noon for pizza-making at Al's Pizza in Plymouth, and then continued long into the evening. In fact, it's been a whirlwind month for Cristyn --that began with a phone call from Tyler.

Cristyn said she grew up listening to Aerosmith with her mother, Caryn, and older brother, Michael. Because her vision has declined since she was 4 years old, music was one of the few things the family could share. A framed picture of Tyler is on a shelf behind the head of her bed. She knows the band's songs by heart.

The VCR in the living room sits ready with a recording of Aerosmith's latest video, ``I Don't Want to Miss a Thing'' from the movie ``Armageddon.'' Cristyn wanted Tyler to sing for her on her birthday, which was June 21. Caryn Alfano, a single mother, contacted Tyler on a whim, not knowing what to expect.

On June 22, he called. ``My mom was like, `Hello,' and he said, `This is Stephen Tyler. Is Cristyn there?' '' Cristyn recalled. ``So, I said hello and he's like, `Happy birthday!' '' After a 10-minute conversation, Tyler, who lives in Marshfield, told Cristyn his limousine was headed for the Hilltop Restaurant in Braintree, just a few blocks from her apartment.

Tyler asked Cristyn to meet him there. The meeting lasted about an hour. Tyler gave Cristyn three of the bracelets he wore in the ``Armageddon'' video and talked to her about a recent leg injury he suffered. The dream-come-true ended with a hug. ``He hugged me so tight I couldn't breathe for a minute,'' Cristyn said. ``Then I ran home and turned on MTV so I could see his new video.''

Cristyn often replays the video, pausing it during the close-ups so she can see Tyler wearing the bracelets he gave her. The meeting, Cristyn admitted shyly, made her feel truly special. Her good fortune didn't end there.

Because of Cristyn's medical condition, Caryn needs to stay home full time during the summer to take care of her daughter. Money is sometimes short, which means Caryn often has to buy clothing on sale, which is not always what appeals to Cristyn. Around the same time Tyler called, the Make-A-Wish Foundation called to tell Cristyn they would grant a wish of hers.

The foundation is dedicated to granting the wishes of children between 2 and 18 who have been diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses. The goal is to help children forget about their illnesses, at least for a short time, Make-A-Wish spokeswoman Amy Haelsen said. ``We laid in bed at night for days going through everything we could request,'' Caryn said. ``We lived out all her fantasies.''

Cristyn's wish list included a trip to the Bahamas or New York City and a pool table for the apartment. She also considered a week in the mountains of Lincoln, N.H., a place she, her mother and brother used to visit. ``Finally, I told her, whatever you wish, make it something you'll always have and something we couldn't do ourselves,'' Caryn said. So, a shopping spree it was.

Cristyn spent all day Tuesday at Independence Mall. She was driven around in a limousine donated by Kerri Limousine of Quincy, and in the evening, after stopping home for dinner, Cristyn headed back to the mall to use more of the gift certificates supplied by Make-A-Wish. The biggest surprise of the day was a stop at Cheryl's Parrot Place in Plymouth, where Cristyn was allowed to pick out a bird to take home. Tuesday night, Cristyn told her mother she had the best day of her life. And, this summer has been the best summer of Cristyn's life, Caryn said.

Aerosmith Reschedule Upcoming North American Tour Dates From September 9, 1998 December 15, 1998

NEW YORK, Aug. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- After a 4-1/2 month break from touring, Aerosmith today announced details of 46 US shows that they intend to play between September 9, 1998 and the end of the year.

These will include all 18 of the shows that had to be postponed because of singer Steven Tyler's knee injury at the end of April, together with the 12 dates that had to be rescheduled when drummer Joey Kramer was badly burnt in a freak gas station fire last month.

With all five band members now back in top form, Aerosmith's upcoming 14 week run of dates will include 20 outdoor concerts, followed by a further 7 weeks of indoor shows. Taking in 44 cities, across 22 of the country's MidWest, Eastern and Southern states, together with three stops in Canada, this latest leg of the 'Nine Lives' World Tour will coincide with the release of a double live album from the band (scheduled to hit stores October 20, on Geffen Records) entitled "A Little South of Sanity."

Kicking off at Montage Mountain Amphitheater in Scranton, PA and finishing up almost four months later in Cleveland, OH, the band's already-year-long tour (which was launched last May in support of their multi-platinum album "Nine Lives" -- Columbia Records), has been hailed by critics across the country as their best ever.

With their hit single "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" (from the blockbuster Touchstone Pictures' movie "Armageddon"), now riding high on the charts (#1 at Top 40), the 47 new dates will take the band's audience figures for the "Nine Lives" world tour to well over 2.5 million, at 169 shows across three continents. Highlights of this spectacular run include headline slots at a series of prestigious festivals in Europe, two capacity New Year's Eve shows in their home-town of Boston, a special anniversary concert celebrating 20 years of sold-out shows at New York's Madison Square Garden and a record- breaking stadium tour of Japan, which marked the first time that an international act has ever been able to complete a sold out dome tour of the country.

On stage for more than two hours each night, the five original band members (Steven Tyler -- vocals, Joe Perry -- guitars, Tom Hamilton -- bass, Brad Whitford -- guitars, Joey Kramer -- Drums) are performing better than ever before, playing songs that span their rich and controversial career.

With support confirmed for September 9 - October 3 as Monster Magnet and October 5 - October 26 as Fuel, Aerosmith are promising a highly charged, no- nonsense show.

What the papers are saying:

"With a band like Aerosmith everybody is able to enjoy the show -- it is an experience that empowers the soul." (Moscow Pullman Daily News; Idaho)

"After twenty years, the band's got 'What It Takes.' Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer showed up to play -- and by the time their two-hour show came to a close, they had pretty much blown the roof off the joint." (Muskegon Chronicle; MI)

"Nothing had prepared me for the adrenaline-pumping rock and roll bomb blast that I witnessed in Charleston Friday night. The roar of the crowd and the excitement raged on for over two hours as Aerosmith rocked the city." (Webster Echo; Webster Springs, WV)

"Led by the forever young Steven Tyler, the crowd was treated to more than two hours of Aerosmith, complete with over-the-top staging, high drama and high jinks." (Kalamazoo Gazette; MI)

"Perry's riffs were as smooth and well-rehearsed as if crunching from the album, yet his years of experience made it look as easy as walking a dog." (Daily Cardinal, Madison, WI)

the Armageddon soundtrack is STILL at #2
on the charts for the 4th week in a row!

"Big Ones" falls one spot to end up at #202
in it's 7th week back on the charts!

"Nine Lives" continues it's fall off of the charts
{Now, OUT of the top 200} to end up at #207
In it's 73rd week on the charts.

Inside there is an interview with Jack Douglas regarding how he weant about recording the album. One thing you get to know out of this (besides a lot of technical jargon) was that they are doctoring up the versions. He says there are 27 tracks and two had vocal flubs and they had to be redone he also said that some songs were pieced together from a couple of concerts. He also mentioned two cities one being Little Rock and I can't remember the other.

"And finally, thanks to all the in-the-know Aerosmith fans who rang in to tell us that Steven Tyler was at the Lane Bryant fashion show in New York to show some parental support to eldest daughter, Mia. It was her debut as a plus-size model. Mia's mom is Cyrinda Foxe-Tyler.

- They were wrong. Mia is Stevens 2nd Daughter

Bad Hair Day
[picture of liv looking sad]
We are quite saddened by the news that movie star Liv Tyler is not at all happy with her pixie haircut for which she recently paid someone good money. "I wish my hair was long again," she exclaimed to fans at a screening for the movie "safe men" a few days ago. "I have an identity crisis now. I go home and put on a wig and read my mail."

Unsure where the other Aerosmith LPs are this week but last week, NL was at 199 and Big Ones at 201.

Liv Tyler: I look at the [Aerosmith] video I did, and I cannot believe I did it. I'm so embarrassed that I'm running into a pond and my butt is hanging out of my shorts. And that I stripped. I am so humiliated. I remember doing that and having no idea it was going to come out a couple of weeks later and be huge. Suddenly I was waking up for school every morning, and I'd put on the TV and there my ass would be. I was really unhappy.

- But we're all happy she did : )

"Can someone please explain why skinny-minny Aerosmith guy Steven Tyler, a fixture at the Big Apple's fashion frivolity, was pictured in this week's New York magazine at the Lane Bryant plus-size show???? Guess there's hope out there, gals!"

All people who has been able to get a copy says it's a must-have for Aerofans.

Steven said he was driving to VT or NH to have dinner with his sister. He pulled in to a gas station. The DJ made reference to when Steven called in May and he was pissed cause the station played IDWTMAT before he should have. The DJ reminded Steven that he predicted it would be # 1 which it is now. The DJ asked how Stevens knee was Steven said it was coming along well, although he's a little "Stiff" Again. He was a in great mood, laughing, breaking into song. (IDWTMAT) The DJ mentioned that the Boys will be at Jones Beach and PNC in Oct and it may be chilly. Steven said, don't worry he'll get us warm. The DJ made reference to the injuries, -whos' next? Steven mentioned Joe water skiing on one leg. Liv and the Movie was mentioned briefly.

Aerosmith axman learns about Life on the Street
The Boston Herald 07/31/98
By GAYLE FEE and LAURA RAPOSA

Aerosmith hunk Joe Perry, who has proven that he's had Nine Lives, wants to come back as an actor in Life No. 10.

Perry told the Track he'll "never diss actors again" after spending a few days down in Baltimore on the "Homicide: Life on the Street" set playing a disgruntled D.C. narcotics cop.

"It's hard work," said the ex-druggie, who is getting a real kick out of playing a soldier in the nation's drug war. "There were a lot of lines to learn and I'm not even finished yet, but I liked it a lot."

Joe, who returned yesterday from Charm City, scored the gig through a woman in his New York office who knows "Homicide" honcho Tom Fontana.

"I had been asking around about roles for awhile," he said. "I mean, Steven (Tyler) did that part in a movie earlier this year and I figured why should he have all the fun?"

Tyler appears in "Goodnight, Joseph Parker" with Paul Sorvino and Debi Mazar, which may surface at the Toronto Film Festival.)

The plot of Joe's show, which NBC has slated to air on Oct. 16, is based on a true story: Two kids drive to D.C. to cop some coke and one of them gets shot. So instead of getting help at a hospital in Washington, they drive back to Baltimore and the kid bleeds to death in the car.

Enter Crimefighter Joe, who drives over the border to Baltimore to work the case with the local blue crew -- detectives Laura Ballard and Stuart Gharty, played by Lincoln homegal Callie Thorne and Providence homey Peter Gerety. And, of course, trade a few harsh words with Lt. Al Giardello.

"I really don't want the case because the kid really died in Baltimore and we get into it," he said. "It's a great part -- not a walk-on, not a cameo."

It's Must See TV!

Perry, who admits he's only seen "Homicide" a couple of times, heads back down south next week to shoot a few more scenes in the squad room and on the Street.

In the meantime, Joe said he's "bummed out" about the cancelled Aerosmith show at Great Woods in August. But the band, which had to postpone their next leg of the "Nine Lives" tour for a few weeks while drummer Joey Kramer's burned arms healed, has reserved the FleetCenter for a special New Year's Eve show.

Joe will probably be a "Homicide" regular by then . .

It almost isn't the highest Aerosmith LP as Big Ones is at 193.
