A Little South of Sanity AEROSMITH
Just when they had begun to win respect, the band once dissed as a poor imitation of the Rolling Stones put out a live album at the same time their British counterparts delivered their best concert recording in years. When the smoke bombs claer, Boston's finest sound, as expected, like a poor imitation.

"Well they've disavowed drugs which I find a lie. Because at that age, if you're not doing drugs there is no reason to even be involved in rock n'roll. So if they don't start admitting to doing drugs, I'm gonna insult them. And I will plant drugs on them and call the police. Everyone's better when they're on drugs undoubtedly. Rock n' Roll is about drugs"

Let me give you all my ideas on this whole Marilyn Manson thing, you may find this stupid so don't read it, then!... Please people take this for what it is, a comment to make the press write about him and i can bet that after the journalists has left Manson Laughs his ass off, and understand that saying this is a part of Marilyn's image. look at other's who people (parents mainly) found dangerous back when they were new in the biz: Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osbourne (and 'Sabbath) Kiss, and Even like Motley Crue. they started out with all these weird Horror/ Blood/ Satanistic things that made the press write about them, the parents hated them - so kids loved them and then they were famous and popular and after some time they didn't have to do it anymore (Not as much anyway) and now they are, by most people, accepted as the great musicians they are. Ofcourse Manson is 10 times worse than them but this is the '90's so you gotta be worse if you want to get publicity. So... if you hate him you're give him exactly what he want. i can bet Manson has stopped with these things in 5-10 years. but this is an Aerosmith page so back to them now!!!!

the "Armageddon" soundtrack fell one point from last week
to end up at #24 [Now, in it's 25th week of release!]

Also, the "A Little South Of Sanity" fell another 15 points from
last week to end up at #128. [Now, in it's 8th week on the charts!]

Jeff was on SNL when Aerosmith was there, and he was kind of nervous so during rehearsal he went over to see if he could fool around on the keyboard while Aerosmith was practicing... so he started playing but somehow the keyboard fell down and he felt real bad about it.

A while later he was at an Aerosmith concert, backstage, and all of a sudden Steven asks him to come out and play with them. So someone taught him the chords real quick and he ended up having a blast playing on stage with Aerosmith! Awesome!

"Hi I'm Space, and I'm sitting here with Joe Perry.
Joe's sitting here with quite a cute muffin...."
JOE: "Well, actually it's a bagel."

Space went on talking about how when they played Blossom in the summer of '97 Steven and Joe brought in their own music and played it on MMS. Steven wanted to fool around, and Joe just wanted to play music.

Space asks: How many CDs do you travel with?
JOE: well between all of us we have a travelling library of about 300 CDs.
Space: what type of music do you listen to?
JOE: blues, rock, opera, new age.....
Space: what CD are you playing right now?
JOE: The new Black Crowes. I play it every day.

Then they went into a discussion on how the Black Crowes opened for them back in 1990, and how they had opened for them when they played in Cleveland then. They talked about how I Don't Want to Miss a Thing was their first #1 single, and Joe said how surprised they were by that. Space then asked about the rest of the shows this year, and Joe said they only had a few more shows this year until they "melt down the Fleet Center" and then had a few dates in Jan. Space asked him what he was going to do in his time off, and Joe said "ski." Joe said skiing was his favorite sport, whether it be on snow or on the water. Then Space asked (since they were in the tuning room) which guitars were Joe's. Joe said: the purple Strat is Brad's...it's his warm-up guitar, and the bass was Tom's. His (Joe's) guitars were in his dressing room, so "I don't have to walk this far." That was the end of the interview......

EWG2polo@aol.com Reports:
"I was at the Philadelphia show last night..... Joe was moving around and dancing more than I had ever seen him before. He shaved that stupid thing off his face and looked really young on stage....."

It wasn't very much though, just an 18 minute clip with:

• some Interviews with Steven Tyler and Joe Perry
  
• some Concert Clips (pulled from the cybercast concert?)
  
• I Don't Want To Miss A Thing live
  
• followed by the IDWTMAT video, and that was it.

It will be up on that page for the next 3 weeks for those of you missed it

"Stylists will basically bully you into wearing hideous outfits because they're trying to please their advertisers. White jeans and vinyl cowboy outfits are the look this year and you must have them," says Kate Schellenbach, drummer for Luscious Jackson and a participant on the Indigo Girls' recent Suffragette Sessions tour. "But I want to see (Aerosmith guitarist) Joe Perry on all fours in, like, white vinyl boots."

"-Every year around this time the old guy comes into town"
"-You mean Santa?"
"-No, Steven Tyler!"

The event will be broadcast live on December 15th
9 PM [Eastern Time] at http://www.secondcoming.com/

And...After 15 weeks, The "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing"
single fell out of the "top 50" on the "Hot 100 Singles"

Then later last night, I was watching the figure skating on ESPN.
One of the Russian pairs skated to I Don't Want to Miss a Thing,
The commentators made comments about how this was really nice,
and that Aerosmith typically wasn't the easiest to skate to.

Steven Tyler of Aerosmith helps rock the house at a sold-out Joyce Center on Sunday night.

Aerosmith Pleases Mixed Crowd

"Oh, my God," a young woman screamed as Steve Tyler shook his rail-thin moneymaker in silhouette behind an elaborately painted streamer

"Come on, Baby," he teased the crowd, milking the thunderous applause before -- amid explosions, smoke, and piercing guitars -- rock supergroup Aerosmith launched a full-scale assault on the University of Notre Dame's Joyce Center on Sunday night in what has to be on of the best live musical performances here in recent memory.

The 28-year-old band put most contemporary rock groups to shame, putting on a vigorous two-hour glam rock spectacle that didn't slack on the music. From the outset, the band set a pace that didn't slow through the first five songs, careening from "Love in an Elevator," "Falling in Love (Is Hard on the Knees)" "Eat the Rich" and "Rag Doll" before stopping to draw breath while Tyler and lead guitarist Joe Perry worked both sides of the stage-in-the-round. One of the triumphs of the evening for this group was in the multi-generational crowd it drew to the sold-out show -- youngsters in their teens, families and graying baby boomers were on their feet through most of the show. Many knew the songs and others did not, but the enthusiasm in the arena was as infectious as Tyler's childlike effervescence.

Tyler, in fact, seemed to gain strength as the night wore on, strutting and pouncing from one end of the high-tech stage to the other, in a show of seemingly endless energy. On ballads like "Dream On" and "What it Takes" Tyler demonstrated remarkable versatility and emotional range, with his powerful, piercing falsetto intact, while on up-tempo numbers he screamed and shouted well above the band.

An hour into the set, the band launched into a scorching Joe Perry blues vocal, with Tyler contributing more than credible harmonica backup. The band threw the audience a curve with a spirited version of the James Brown tune "Mother Popcorn," and with hardly a road marker, segued into "Walk This Way" while pyrotechnics shot into the air.

Critics of the band's recent $30 million deal with Columbia/Sony Records five years ago may have underestimated the band's ongoing musical appeal and live popularity. Collectively, Aerosmith is younger than the Rolling Stones, a band they are often compared to, have a stage persona that is arguably fresher, and a front man who manages easily to be more engaging and entertaining than Mick Jagger.

If this concert was any indication, Aerosmith will be making better music when the Stones have long since folded their tents and left the game.
