The Aerosmith boys got a sneak preview of Disney's big summer action flick,
``Gone In Sixty Seconds,'' at the Showcase Cinema in Randolph yesterday. The
Bad Boys From Boston and their rock babes got to see an incomplete cut of the
new thriller written by Needham homeboy Scott Rosenberg of ``Con Air'' fame.

A little Aerosmith mention on Dharma and Greg
News as of March 22, 2000
Tom Hamilton Report, from aerosmithdirect newsletter
After the second show in Tokyo we were done with our quick soiree in Japan.
We've actually been back for awhile and sometimes I have to stop and think:
Wow, we've already been to Japan and back? It went by so fast it doesn't
seem real.
We got on a jumbo jet for the flight home, but we'd have to wait a month or
so for all the gear to get back because it goes by boat. Last year we lost a
bunch of equipment when the ship it was on broke in half in a storm. I
wouldn't be surprised to hear Joey's drums washed up on the coast of Spain.
The equipment finally arrived back home in the States. It was that time when
everybody goes down to our warehouse and starts going though their stuff. If
there's one thing you accumulate a lot of when you tour it's stuff. We have
these giant wardrobe cases that for the last two and half years were a
mobile home to our clothes and whatever else found its way in there.
I started by taking all my hanging stuff out. I couldn't believe how many
shirts there were that I hardly wore. It's so hard to get rid of stuff.
There were at least two shirts in there that I was saving for that "special
gig." The only problem is that I wound up saving them for the whole freakin'
tour.
So one by one I took shirts, pants and jackets out and reflected on each
piece. It seemed like there was a special vibe or poignant memory for every
one. My favorites were the army surplus combat boots that I wore for the
whole tour. They were stretched and molded to the shape of my lower legs and
feet. The soles were rounded, all the edges mellowed by all those nights on
stage. They have zippers on the sides that I used to have to hold up with
gaffer's tape. At the top of each one was a telltale rectangle of faded
leather where I put the tape on and took it off every night. If I didn't,
the zippers would sneak down with all the foot stompin'. Many nights I had
to put my foot up on the drum riser and pull the zipper back up. Funny, the
little things that make up a night's gig.
All these things seem too valuable to throw away but not useful enough to
keep. I stood there with a huge pile of "stuff" on top of my case, trying to
decide what to do with it all. I felt a little guilty as I decided on the
fate of these old friends. What if they could pick up my thoughts about
throwing them out after so many shows together? I actually felt a little
loyalty to a pair of socks. Hmmm. Sounds like sanity has been avoiding me
again.
Well, we're going into the studio this week to try out some new material so
I'm pretty excited about that. I've spent the last couple of months
woodshedding. That's when a musician goes out to the "woodshed" to work on
skills. I'm looking forward to taking all my new wood into the studio to see
if it burns.
Okay, enough out of me,

The Doors Tribute Album
3.17.00 12:00 EST
Doors guitarist Robby Krieger, who guests on most of the tracks on the
album, told MTV News this week that the long-awaited project will finally
arrive this summer.
Word of the tribute album first surfaced in January of 1998, when Smash
Mouth spoke with the MTV Radio Network about reworking the Doors' nugget
"Peace Frog" (see "Smash Mouth Does The Lizard King For Tribute Album").
Later that same year, Creed told MTV News that they would be on board as
well.
Now Krieger confirms that contributions from both bands will make the final
cut, as well as Marilyn Manson's cover of "Five To One" and Stone Temple
Pilots' rendition of "Break On Through." Other confirmed acts include The
Cult, Aerosmith, Chrissie Hynde, Oleander, Bo Diddley, and John Lee Hooker
with the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea on "Roadhouse Blues." Iggy Pop is also
in talks to appear on the album with a cover of "L.A. Woman."
While many of the tracks are new, some (such as Aerosmith's cover of "Love
Me Two Times" which appeared on the 1990 soundtrack to "Air America") have
turned up elsewhere.
When the album surfaces this summer, here's what you're likely to find:

Tribute to Bruce Fairbairn
Source: http://www.canoe.ca/JamMusic/mar10_fairbarin.html
Tribute to Fairbairn
Over his 20-year-plus career, Vancouver producer Bruce Fairbairn worked with some of the biggest bands in rock -- Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, INXS, KISS, Van Halen, The Cranberries and Yes, along with Canadian acts Loverboy, Prism and Honeymoon Suite.
That musical legacy has led to Fairbairn's posthumous induction into the Canadian Music Hall Of Fame during Sunday night's Juno Awards at SkyDome (CBC-TV, 8 p.m.).
Fairbairn, who learned to play the trumpet at age five and began his producing duties with '70s band Prism, died suddenly in his sleep last May at the age of 49 while producing the latest Yes album, The Ladder.
"It's very unusual that we could rally round after that event and say, 'Let's get this album finished and dedicate it to Bruce, because he'd given us so much, you know?'" said Yes singer Jon Anderson in an interview with The Sun in December.
"He was such a beautiful guy," continued Anderson, who actually discovered Fairbairn's body at Fairbairn's Vancouver home. "It's hard to explain how we felt about him. We had great respect for him."
The Hall of Fame award will actually be presented to Fairbairn's wife, Julie Glover, and their three sons, Scott, 21, Kevin, 18, and Brent, 14, by the members of Loverboy about halfway through the two-hour Juno broadcast.
The presentation will be preceded by a three-minute taped tribute to Fairbairn, which will include appearances by Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Jon Bon Jovi.
Coincidentally, members of AC/DC -- lead and rhythm guitarists Angus and Malcolm Young, along with drummer Phil Rudd -- arrive in Toronto over the weekend to promote their latest album, Stiff Upper Lip . But they are scheduled for an hour-long radio interview at Q-107 at 9 p.m. on Sunday.
People don't know the names of producers, says Michelle Parise, the associate producer of the Hall Of Fame tribute. "And Bruce Fairbairn's responsible for (Bon Jovi's) Slippery When Wet, which sold 13 million copies worldwide. It was the biggest selling album of 1986, so he had a pretty big impact."
Fairbairn was also responsible for Aerosmith's comeback album, 1987's Permanent Vacation, which produced their first hit in a decade, Angel.
Other notable albums were 1997's Elegantly Wasted, the last album by INXS before singer Michael Hutchence committed suicide, and 1998's Psycho Circus, the first KISS studio album in nearly 20 years.
"He used to come and see Yes play because he did like the band, which helps a heck of a lot," said Anderson. "The guy who's going to produce you, understands who you are and what you're trying to achieve musically."

Mia Tyler: Model Role
Mia Tyler is just about to shed the qualifier, "daughter of Aerosmith's lead singer Steven Tyler, half-sister of Liv Tyler." She's starring in a film of her own.
Tyler plays Laura, the lead role in the indie film, A Little Bit of Lipstick, now in production. It's a coming-of-age story about a full-figure teen who doesn't need a body makeover to be beautiful. All her character needs is self-expression and a touch of the cosmetic enhancement suggested by the title.
"I love the idea of independent films," says Tyler. "Maybe it's my age, I'm 21, but I want to go against the norm. Independents aren't the same old boring stuff by big-name directors.
"With a long tousled mane, pierced nose and tongue, and three tattoos- one in the shape of a dragon that nearly covers her back-Tyler is one young woman who is not shy about going against the norm. A self-proclaimed wild child in her "earlier years," she saw the inside Studio 54 when she was five. "I made friends with the office workers there," she says. "I photocopied my hands and feet and gave copies to KISS and Michael Jackson on the dance floor before being dragged home at 11:00 PM.
"Tyler received lots of attention at home, too. "As soon as I could walk, I performed shows for my mom. I played radio talk show host and taped my voice." I called it the Me-Show."
The Me-Show, it turns out, was good training for a career in the public eye. In May 1998, a friend recommended the self-possessed Tyler for a Lane Bryant runway show. From there, Wilhelmina Models offered her a contract. Now she's one of three plus-size models ever to appear in a mainstream magazine. The newly launched Jump UK placed her on its fourth cover. In a first, Seventeen featured her on editorial pages next to her less abundant counterparts. Jane magazine readers voted her "Gutsiest Fashionista," and Steven Meisel captured her for Italian Vogue. She's now earning one of the highest day rates of any plus-size model. Following sibling Liv's path, Tyler's acting career took off from the runway. "Modeling has definitely helped get my foot in the door of the acting world. There is one plump girl for every 1000 skinny actors, so the plump ones stand out. I have to work really hard, but I know it will pay off." Aerosmith at Streambox.com (not 'news')

Invited by Daryl Johnston of the Dallas Cowboys, Joey Kramer had a lively 'ol time at The Rack in Boston to take part in the NFL star-studded benefit for the Joshua Frase Foundation. The Joshua Frase Foundation, founded by NFL player Paul Frase and wife Alison created the Foundation for son Joshua who has a muscle disorder called Myotubular Myopathy. Meanwhile, our Demon of Screamin' and longtime friend Mark Hudson were grubbing out in a restaurant near Steven's home when two girls approached them. "Hey, did you know that Draw The Line are playing across the street?!?" Being the trooper that we all admire and love, Steven trekked on over to check out the Aerosmith tribute band. Although he did not join Draw The Line onstage, Steven was gracious enough to stay for the entire set. Saturday night, Tom and wife Terry enjoyed an evening with the Pretenders at the Avalon Club in Boston. Accompanying the couple was New England Patriot's owner, Bob Kraft!

Byrnes was quoted as saying "I feel honored to be able to perform for him, and that he enjoys it!" Draw The Line's show at the Alternate Route in Weymouth (their home based club) marked the final show before the club is officially closed for good on Monday. Though the thought of the clubs' end was saddening, Draw The Line and all of their fans were excited to have Steven Tyler at this memorable show. After hanging out for over three hours, Tyler slipped out the side door, but not before leaving a lasting message for the South Shore based Tribute Band, "You guys f*ckin rock!" Draw The Line performs again next weekend at The Plantation Club in Worcester on Friday the 10th and at Marshfield's Ranch House on Saturday the 11th. Rick Dufay store
