Money to Burn! Aerosmith Donates $10,000 to Burn Program of the Massachusetts General Hospital

BOSTON, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- It was announced today that rock band Aerosmith has made a gift of $10,000 to the Massachusetts General Hospital on behalf of their drummer Joey Kramer, who was treated there last month after he was burned in a gasoline fire near his home in Massachusetts. Joey sustained burns to his arms and legs when his car caught fire at a gas station in Scituate, MA. He was taken immediately to the South Shore Hospital for several hours and then released. The next day, he was taken to Massachusetts General where he was treated. He then attended the hospital each day for several weeks as an outpatient and is now fully recovered.

"Without the care and time taken by the entire staff of the burn unit at Massachusetts General Hospital," Joey states, "I don't think my rehabilitation would have been so speedy. The tireless efforts of this extraordinary bunch enabled me to get back on the road as soon as possible. It's hard to find the words to thank such a special group of people -- particularly Colleen Ryan -- who deserves a medal."

The hospital's Burn Program provides comprehensive outpatient care for individuals with acute and reconstructive burn care needs. It is part of the MGH Regional Burn & Trauma Program, the only program in the United States that is verified at the highest level by the American College of Surgeons as an adult and pediatric trauma center and as an adult and pediatric burn center. Aerosmith's gift provides much-needed funding for the expansion of MGH's outpatient services to burn victims.

Thanks to the excellent care he received, Mr. Kramer is now fighting fit and is currently on the road with Aerosmith to resume their mega-successful Nine Lives World Tour. This time the band will be taking in 40 cities across 20 of the country's Mid-west, Eastern and Southern states, together with three stops in Canada. Their two hour show will include their #1 smash hit 'I Don't Want To Miss A Thing.'

This latest leg of the 'Nine Lives' World Tour coincides with the release of a double live album from the band, released October 20, entitled 'A Little South of Sanity.'

NEW YORK, Oct. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- America's premier rock band, Aerosmith, broke cyberspace records on Saturday, October 17, 1998 with the success of their Internet broadcast, previewing songs from their new double live album "A Little South of Sanity."

In what was their first truly interactive Cybercast (produced and directed by New York-based experts Live On Line), Aerosmith performed more than two hours of songs from their latest release (Geffen Records, October 20), live from the band's sold-out show at the PNC Bank Arts center in Holmdel, New Jersey. With 120,000 streams, this was the largest single artist webcast since the medium's inception.

With the event being so successful, Aerosmith has agreed to rebroadcast on Wednesday, November 4 at 7 p.m. (EST), using both Microsoft Windows Media (Nasdaq: MSFT) and Real Networks Real Media (Nasdaq: RNQK). Please see below for details on how to obtain both of these products.

Designed to showcase the live material from "Sanity," their latest 23-track release, the October 17 cybercast broke new ground, as well as existing records, in that for the first time ever, viewers were able to direct their own programs, switching live between seven separate camera feeds, each broadcasting a different perspective of the concert. Producer Jack Douglas mixed the outgoing audio feed to keep the webcast as true to the live album as possible.

With all five Aerosmith band members outfitted with special wireless microwave cameras, broadcasting their individual points-of-view from the stage, and a feed that combined three front-of-house cameras, capturing the on-stage action, cybercast viewers were able to select what to watch at any given time, swapping between the feeds at will to create their own unique programs.

Using remarkably small, lightweight surveillance technology, singer Steven Tyler's perspective of the 20,000 capacity crowd was captured by a camera attached to his signature, scarf-covered microphone stand, while the Perry Cam was mounted on a chain around the guitarist's neck. Generating bassist Tom Hamilton's p.o.v., the Hamilton Cam was inset into the crown of his hat, while the Whitford Cam was hidden in a specially made pair of the guitarist's glasses. Drummer Joey Kramer's perspective was transmitted from a camera mounted across his chest. The sixth on-stage feed was broadcast from a swiveling remote-controlled camera, fixed to one of the monitors, that was able to film both the band and the front row of the audience. The remaining feed gave a more traditional, real-time perspective of the show, combining images from three cameras positioned front-of-house (which was also broadcast onto the large video screens in the venue).

People wanting to register for the rebroadcast should go to http://www.aerosmith.com at least 24 hours in advance. Here they will find links on the registration page to download the necessary tools to watch the event, as well as a test area to make sure that the tools have been installed correctly.

Armageddon 4X Platinum

I think I actually saw the other 2 but I did not see ALSOS.

More of a surprise was no sign of A little South of Sanity on the UK Top 20 albums!!! When NL was released, it came in at No4. Unfortunately a lot of the real general shops just aren't stocking it.

The "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" single fell another spot
from last week to end up @ #5. [Now in it's ninth week of release]

The "Armageddon" soundtrack fell 2 points from last week
to end up @ #26 [Now, in it's 17th week of release!]

"Big Ones" climbed four points from last week
to end up @ #204. [Now, in it's 17th week back on the charts!]

Singer Steven Tyler scheduled for additional knee surgery in early '99

January's Aerosmith show, that was announced last week, will not go on sale tomorrow (Saturday October 24) as originally planned, as the band's schedule has had to be changed to allow singer Steven Tyler to go back in for additional knee surgery.

Following an anterior cruciate ligament injury in late April of this year Tyler was admitted to the hospital for reconstructive surgery on his leg. After four months of rehabilitation to his knee the band returned to the road, making up US summer dates that had been postponed.

Unfortunately, doctors have now confirmed that Tyler obviously went out before the knee was fully healed and that if her continues, past the end of the year, the repeated performances will cause further serious damage.

All dates for 1998 will remain unchanged. Future dates for next year will be announced shortly.

LIV TYLER AND JOAQUIN PHOENIX CALL IT QUITS:
Leading indie acting queen LIV TYLER and longtime beau JOAQUIN PHOENIX have reportedly called it quits on their relationship after three years. Apparently Tyler, who is the daughter of AEROSMITH frontman STEVEN TYLER, dumped her longtime love to start dating English rocker ROYSTON LANGDON who is (or should we say WAS) one of Phoenix's friends!! Langston (who I can confirm is quite a hottie...) is a member of the NYC- based band glam rock band SPACEHOG. Langston and Tyler have recently been spotted getting cuddly in some of the more dimly lit New York nightspots. The two probably met when Tyler and Phoenix went on a road trip with some of the members of the band. Ironically, Joaquin recently went on the DAVID LETTERMAN SHOW and spent the entire time talking about his "good friends" in SPACEHOG and the fantastic road trip they had all just taken together! Doh!! No wonder he refused to tell Dave anything about his relationship with Liv when Dave asked him!

Meanwhile, Tyler's family doesn't seem to be too upset about the latest turn of events. Tyler's mother BEBE BUELL confirmed the couple's split recently and added that she was pretty pleased that her daughter and Phoenix had parted ways. Apparently the actor, who is the brother of the late RIVER PHOENIX, was considered by Momma to be a bit quirky and perhaps not the most reliable of boyfriends for her daughter. However, we should probably caution Liv's momma that we have partied hearty with the Spacehog boys and can confirm that reliability is not really Royston's middle name either. But, then again, Buell knows all about what it is like to date a rocker. Aside from her Liv-producing affair with Steven Tyler she also had flings with ELVIS COSTELLO and TODD RUNDGREN.

SPEAKING OF THE TYLER CLAN: While we are gossiping about his daughter, we should probably give poppa Tyler his props as well. Although he is certainly getting a tad long in the tooth, he and da boyz have packed their Grecian Formula and are back on tour as we speak. In fact, a Sleaze fan recently wrote in to rave about their latest NYC performance. While I tend to think that Tyler and Co. are a bit past their prime, apparently they still know how to put on a fabulous show. Sleaze fan Mick wrote in with the following observations:

"I just thought you might like to know about an Aerosmith Concert that I attended at the Jones Beach Amphitheater in New York on Thursday night. The place was completely sold out despite the fact that the venue was outdoors and the weather was freezing. You had the usual crowd that you expect to see at an Aerosmith concert, aging hipsters and teenagers. The opening band was FUEL and they were pretty good but could not compare to Aerosmith. Despite the wearing of a knee brace, STEVEN TYLER can still definitely dance and jump around on stage for nearly two hours straight. I also have to say that JOE PERRY has replaced SLASH with a god-like persona. The guy is incredible but his choice of facial hair (a patch on each side of his lips) must go. Anyway, the boys played most of their old stuff including SWEET EMOTION which led in to a great rendition of LED ZEPPELIN's classic song HEARTBREAKER. The concert was incredible and TYLER and the boys can still rock."

Ok, Mick. We still think that stupid ARMAGEDDON song was utter cheese, but SWEET EMOTION rocks and DREAM ON still gets me every time. Not to mention, of course, their brilliant pairing with RUN DMC for WALK THIS WAY. So, I'll give ya the benefit of the doubt on this one.

Inside there is a 4 page article with some new good pics. Amongst all the things they talk about they quote Joe as saying that rumours are rife that there are plans to turn the book Walk this Way into a MOVIE.

Liv and Joaquin Kaput?

Has one of Hollywood's sturdiest young couples finally decided to call it quits? The New York Daily News reports that longtime honeys Liv Tyler, 19, and Joaquin Phoenix, 23, "are on the outs."

The twosome, who fell in love on the set of the 1997 film Inventing the Abbotts, recently broke up, a friend tells the paper. "They still care a lot for each other but just couldn't work it out," the helpful pal says.

Mouthpieces for both Tyler, last seen emoting in Armageddon, and Phoenix, currently starring in Clay Pigeons, are keeping mum on the state of the relationship.

But, as always, keep in mind that the couple has been dogged by similar rumors in the past, and they were very much together at the Clay Pigeons premiere in September, dancing cheek to cheek.

"I fell in love the second I saw him," Liv has said of Phoenix. "What I felt," Phoenix has said, "was that I have a new friend, a really great friend."

Nieto has sued the rock group, saying its concert a year ago cost him his hearing. He alleges he suffered permanent hearing loss after the show at Concord Pavilion, a city-owned amphitheater named as a co-defendant in the lawsuit filed Monday.

Nieto contends he has continuous ringing in his ears. He says he was "not aware of warnings for ear damage" when he attended the band's "Nine Lives" concert in October 1997.

"We'll look into it, but this is a new one," said City Attorney Richard Doyle. "This is a first."

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for medical expenses and wage losses.

Aerosmith has attracted legions of fans since 1970 with such hits as "Dream On" and "Dude (Looks Like A Lady)."

She said that Tyler said to her that when he dies, he wants his ashes spread a beach so he can still get in the pants of young ladies after he's dead. Typical Tyler quote. : )

The Central European Time (CET) (including Sweden) for the Chat is 1:30AM and 3:00AM for the Live Cybercast. It's in the middle of the fuc*in' night but hey! it's Aerosmith so who cares about the clock? : )

For the people in the UK the time for the CyberCast is 2:00AM

"AEROSMITH ROCKS BACK WITH LIVE CD"

Aerosmith has evoked both praise and criticism for the slickness of its recent hit, "I Don't [Want To] Miss A Thing," a Diane Warren-penned tune from the "Armaggedon" soundtrack that became the band's first No. 1 song. But no such argument should accompany Aerosmith's new twin-CD live set, "A Little South of Sanity," which rocks as hard as any live record in memory. Forget the slickness.

"This is a real live record," says Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer, on the phone from New York. "It's the band playing live on stage and there's not going back into the studio and redoing stuff and making it sound all pretty. It's the band on stage, mistakes and all. What you hear is what you get."

And what you hear is excellent, even by Aerosmith's lofty stage standards. The recordings are taken from various shows from Boston's FleetCenter to venues across the world during the band's "Nine Lives" and "Get a Grip" tours of the last five years.

"The album is really up-to-date," says Kramer, who returns with his mates to the FleetCenter Dec. 31 and the Worcester Centrum Centre Jan. 2. "There might be four or five songs from the "Get a Grip" tour, but the rest of it is all from "Nine Lives.'"

The new live set, which comes out Tuesday, follows the general song list of Aerosmith's latter-year shows, starting with a whomping Steven Tyler/Joe Perry-driven "Eat the Rich." Tyler also launches wild screams on the drug-exorcising "Money on My Back" and, in another feverish moment, dedicates "Mama Kin" to the Boston club the band owns by that name. "To the people that go to Mama Kin and work at Mama Kin and hang at Mama Kin," Tyler shouts.

The live set actually represents a contractual obligation to Aerosmith's former label, Geffen Records. Aerosmith switched to Sony for the last studio album, "Nine Lives," but as part of the negotation to leave Geffen, the band promised Geffen a live set that would include the first two singles from the Sony deal.

"I think they're going to be a little sorry they let us go," Kramer says of Geffen.

The band could have put out a lackluster disc, as many bands do when they're leaving a label, but Aerosmith made a heightened return to rock n' roll. That was supplied in part by the reappearance of the band's former producer, Jack Douglas, who mixed the new record. "We had a lot of fun with Jack back in the old days," says Kramer. "And it was a good idea to have him mix the live stuff, because if there's anybody who knows how the band is supposed to sound, it's Jack."

Indeed, Aerosmith seems to be firing on all cylinders these days. Tyler is back in the saddle after injuring his knee this summer with a twirling microphone. And Kramer is back after suffering second-degree burns when his Ferrari caught fire at a Scituate gas station. Kramer contends the automatic shut-off valve at the pump failed to work, though he does acknowledge that he failed to turn off the engine before it shot up in flames and destroyed the car.

"It was a hard way to get the summer off, but it kind of refreshed everybody," says Kramer.

As for the recent hit single, which went from idea to conception in just 10 days, Aerosmith doesn't mind taking heat for it from core fans. "Well, I guess enough people like it if it became a No. 1 song," say Kramer. "And because if the hit single, our shows have been pretty much sold out."

As for Kramer's burns: "They've healed up very well and I've got no scars," he says. As for future plans, he adds that Aerosmith will start writing another record in the spring, then maybe release it next fall. "But we're going to pretty much stay on the road for a while now," he notes. "We're going to stay out there and pound the boards a bit."

SOUTH OF CYBER SANITY

America's premiere rock band, Aerosmith, will make New Media history once again this week, when they perform live over the Internet, in the first ever truly interactive Cybercast.

The Cybercast will be broadcast from the band's sold-out show at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey, on October 17 at 9 p.m. EST.

With producer Jack Douglas at the helm, mixing the outgoing audio feed, the Cybercast will give fans the full-on Aerosmith experience. However, what really makes this event unique is the viewers' ability to direct the special themselves, switching live between seven separate camera feeds, each broadcasting a different perspective of the concert.

With all five Aerosmith band members outfitted with a special wireless microwave camera, broadcasting their individual points-of-view from the stage, and a feed that combines three front-of-house cameras, capturing the on-stage action, Cybercast viewers will be able to select what to watch at any given time, swapping between the feeds at will, to create their own unique program.

Using remarkably small, lightweight surveillance technology, singer Steven Tyler's perspective of the 20,000 capacity crowd will be captured by a camera attached to his signature, scarf-covered microphone stand; while the Perry Cam will be mounted on a chain around the guitarist's neck. Generating bassist Tom Hamilton's p.o.v., the Hamilton Cam will be inset into the crown of his hat; while the Whitford Cam will be hidden in a specially-made pair of the guitarist's glasses. Drummer, Joey Kramer's perspective will be transmitted from a camera mounted across his chest. The sixth on-stage feed will be broadcast from a swiveling remote-controlled camera, fixed to one of the monitors, that will be able to film the whole band as they interact. The remaining feed will give a more traditional, real-time perspective of the show, combining images from three cameras positioned front-of-house (which will also be broadcast onto the large video screens in the venue).

Prior to the Cybercast, as they warm up for the show, the band will be participating in a chat with America Online starting at 7:30pm. This will also be simulcast on www.aerosmith.com. Surfers who register for the show will automatically be e-mailed a digital still, signed by Aerosmith the night of the concert.

The show will be held @ The Sheraton Universal in Universal City, California, U.S.A. on Friday, November 6th, 1998 @ 8:00 P.M. No word yet on if it will be on T.V. or not. The show will be hosted by Eddie Griffin

"Ballard and Gharty investigate a drive-by shooting whose sole witness can only recall one detail - the crime did not occur in Baltimore. Meanwhile Lewis and Sheppard deal with the murder of an identical twin. Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry guests as a D.C. narc."

Program those VCR's.:)

That's 250 each day and that makes the average about 90000 a year. So that's pretty much more than last year when the average for each day was only (and that's not so "only" either) about 70 vistors.

Sorry to bore you with this shit but no one's forcing you to read it ,right? I'm doing this is mainly for my self so that i sometime in the future can see how many visitors i've had in the past....
Anyway, now back to Aerosmith!

Did everyone see that thing on MTV about Breaking the Law? Accomplices:: Geffen and Marty Callner Yep, the BOYS did it 12 times with the Crazy Video LOL And then they blamed the parents of Liv (Steven in particular) LOL I cracked up. And then former NYC mayor Ed Koch sentences the BOYS to tour with Hanson. Ed Koch actually said Steven Tyler and Aerosmith Who would have thought he'd ever utter those words?
