The Flamboyant Front Man for Aerosmith Steven Tyler Throws Out the First Pitch at the St. Louis Cardinals Baseball Game Thursday, September 24

NEW YORK, Sept. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Aerosmith's Steven Tyler has been invited by the St. Louis Cardinals to throw out the first pitch for their game against The Montreal Expos, this Thursday, September 24, at Busch Stadium in front of a sold out crowd of 48,000 fans.

Tyler, in town for Aerosmith's show at the Riverbend Amphitheatre on Friday, September 25, originally expressed interest in attending the game specifically to see the record-breaking Mark McGwire in action. The Cardinals then extended the invitation to have Tyler participate in the event.

Riding high on the charts with the band's #1 single, "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing," Tyler jumped at the chance. "When I was growing up, I had two dreams," he said, "and since the Red Sox did not draft me, this is the closest I'm going to come to fulfilling the second one!"

The Game will start at 7:10 pm CST and is one of the final games of The Cardinals regular season.

Then for Joey it says, Joey Kramer of Aerosmith. Injury- Second-degree burns after his Ferrari caught fire while he was getting gas. Damage done-Tour postponed, Ferrari fried. Volume-11 amps (amplifier). He was at the pump with his car running! Topped only by spontaneous combustion while drumming.

It's on page 27. It's the issue with Marilyn Manson on the front.

ALICE COOPER TRIBUTE TO FEATURE METAL STARS GALORE

Cleopatra Records is suddenly becoming a driving force in killer tribute albums, with works on the way honoring Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, Prince, and Madonna (allstar, Sept. 23). While details remain sketchy on the albums, info has emerged which may slate Culture Club's Boy George on Prince's "When Doves Cry," while the track listing for the Alice Cooper tribute has just been finalized.

A slew of heavy metal immortals have contributed to the Cooper album, whose liner notes read like a who's-who in the heavy metal Hall of Fame. Included among the bunch are Def Leppard's Joe Elliott and Phil Collen; the Who's Roger Daltrey; former Guns N' Roses members Slash, Matt Sorum, and Duff McKagan; Alice in Chains bassist Mike Iniz; former Twisted Sister vocalist Dee Snider; Don Dokken; Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman of Megadeth; Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden; Ronnie James Dio; the Sex Pistols' Steve Jones; and former Cult guitarist Billy Duffy.

"All these bands flamed out by the mid-seventies, brought down by a combination of drugs, partying, bad management, and hectic recording and touring schedules. But there was a new generation waiting in the wings. Mixing the party rock of Grand Funk with the blues of the Stones, and equaling everyone else's drug intake combined, was Boston's Aerosmith;"

Then it goes on to talk about Kiss and Judas Priest then all the hair bands of the eighties. I never thought of Aerosmith being in "the new generation" but I guess it makes sense. All together, a good article, for all the heavy metal fans out there. I wish they would have had a little more about Aerosmith, but what am I expecting, respect? LOL

...Aerosmith's new Live album will be released in Sweden
on October 5th (That's 15 days before it's released in the US!!)

I Would guess that this means it will be released earlier in the
rest of Europe too but i haven't got that confirmed anywhere.
Ofcourse the site can be wrong but i hope it isn't..... YES!!!

Anyway, what caught my eye was that the clip showed the star of the show standing at her apartment door, the shot was from the outside looking into her apartment. On the wall I SWEAR I saw an Aerosmith poster! It was in the upper left corner of the wall, and I think there was a poster of the band underneath it.

Fox Sports West aired a clip this morning, and some captures of it can be found in a new section of my picture page [ Click here]
All those Pictures are from Lynn's Aerosmith Page

Well after Steven was 45 mins late. (and I was pacing my living room for an hour) The interview started with the DJ playing a little harmonica. Then Steven did a little thing with his voice and then said "See you got your harp, I got mine, my jaw harp."

They talked about the Black Crows and the DJ talked and asked things about how long they are always on tour. (Sorry there is just so much, its hard to type it all up.)

Anyway the first girl got to ask her question after telling Steven she use to live in Boston. She told him she had their first two vinyl records. Steven told her to bring it to the gig and he would sign them. She said she was not going to the gig. ( :o( Crazy girl hehehe). The her question for him was did they ever get to play at the Boston Tea Party. Steven told her no, but he thought Joe Perry did when he did The Joe Perry Project.

Then I was introduced. :o) I said Hi Steven. And he said "There's just something about Mary." I just giggled and then he said "Talk to me girl". I feel like a dummy hehe. I was so nervious all I could say was (again) " Hi Steven I just wanted to tell you that you are my hero." He said, "You think?" I replied "No, I know. You have inpired me in such a way this past year. That you just would not believe (or something like that. Sorry I am trying to remember this all correctly)" He said, "Aw that's sweet. That's terrific, I hope it was something I said." I replied, "It was something you did, and said." He just kept saying it was sweet, and thank you. Then I just asked my question. Sorry, I had a pathetic one. But it pasted the screening the DJ's did. LOL!! I just had to ask something I thought they would want. So I asked Steven "I know you came up with the title for your new live album, "A Little South of Sanity" and wondered where you came up with that." He replied, "with the life I lead?" Of course we all laughed. Then he just played around about the names. And all I could do at this point was giggle. (Jeez…I feel like an idiot now) Then they said well thanks for calling Merry and I said 'Oh thank you!!" and that was it for me.

The next guy told Steven that he got a chance to meet him in Boston at Mama Kin's and asked him a question that he never really answered. Steven said, "oh that was wrong. Sorry." So the guy asked him again. He asked why they stayed in the game (well basically). Steven's answer in Boston has simply been "The Money" and he had laughed it off. So, Steven said, that had been one of those moments when it was suppose to be hahahaha. But the truth of it was that it was not all about the money. To sum up what he said, he simply went into talking about how much he enjoys getting on stage and seeing the other guys. And just rocking out.

The last girl got on. And asked, "After all these years, and all the places you go to, why do you still choose to live in Boston?" To simplify his answer to this, he said, "Well, you know if I lived in Maui for a year, then he might move there. But then he said, "what do you mean LIVE?" The most time I have spent at home was this past summer because of my knee."

Well that is pretty much it. Sorry I didn't go into it more. But I will post when I get the clips on my page for you all. :o) And after they come here next week, I will add new clips from the interview that is scheduled.

Later,
^^A^^ fan for life,
Merry

"It's classic Elmore Leonard," says Perry, who's seen advance copies of the novel. "Without giving too much away, the band that [main character] Chili Palmer wants to manage opens for us." As for reports that Aerosmith will appear in and provide music for the movie adaptation of the book, Perry says nothing's been determined yet. "In the course of a project like that, a lot of stuff changes or ends up the on the floor," he says. "For us to be in it this far is an honor, and we'll see how it goes from here."

They talked far a little bit and the phone lines cut him off but Steven called him back asking "Was it as good for you as it was for me?" They talked about the MTV awards and how Joey was doing. He then said "Well after wacking up my knee Joey had to show me up by trying to light one of his Havannah cigars with his car."

Anyway, 2nd week in a row Aerosmith has been at no.1 here

Everyday they profile a famous musician whose birthday it is and on September 10th Joe Perry got the treatment.
There was also picture of Joe from the mini poster inside Pump.

Other birthdays: Roy Ayers, 58; Danny Hutton (Three Dog Night), 56; Jose Feliciano, 53; Barriemore Barlow (Jethro Tull), 49; Johnny Fingers (Boomtown Rats), 42; Siobhan Fahey (Bananarama, Shakespeare's Sister), 38; and David Lowery (Cracker, Camper Van Beethoven), 38.

Its also No. 1 in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. Its also top 3 in Holland, Norway and Sweden and in the top 10 in Finland, Italy, Latavia, Yugoslavia.

First week of release sees it at No12 in the UK
and higher than any UK Aero single (Elevator was No13).

The film soundtrack hasn't had the same success as in the USA but currently in the top 10 album charts in Germany and Austria.

The "Armageddon" soundtrack remains in the Top Ten,
coming in at #8 this week.

JOE PERRY
"Aerosmith's Joe Perry started out trying to match his hero, Jimmy Page, lick-for-lick. As time went on, however, Perry's style quickly developed into something quite unique, and he and fellow six-stringer Brad Whitford became one of rock's great guitar tandems. Their sly blend of swampy blues solos and boogie-woogie rock 'n' roll riffs has kept the band going for nearly three decades."

There is also a picture of Joe. It's a close-up of a 70's era photo of Joe during a guitar solo with kind of a goofy grin on his face.

The "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" single continued it's reign
at the #1 position on the Singles charts for the second week in a row!

The "Armageddon" soundtrack climbed up 1 point from last week
to end up @ #3...Now, in it's 10th week of release!

By the way...this was a dead heat to the Barenaked Ladies album "Stunt." The soundtrack beat "Stunt" by only a few hundred copies! Selling another 122,000 copies in the process! Hmmm...do I smell "Triple Platinum" just around the corner

"Big Ones" fell 8 points from last week to end up at #214...
Now, in it's 10th week back on the charts!

"Nine Lives" fell another 12 points this week to end up at #244....
Now, in it's 76th week of release!

After they had played it they mentioned why Aerosmith had Cancelled their shows. First Steven hurt his knee and then that the Drummer (That would be Joey :) had burned himself. and then they said that they were gonna be back on the road soon (Like if we didn't know that allready:)

And last Wednesday the IDWTMAT Video came in as #3
on Voxpop (On Swedish TV, SVT1)

And In the news segment of the same show they said:
"The Veteran Rockers, Aerosmith with the the 50 year old front man, Steven Tyler now dumps the Rock n' Roll myth. Forget about Sex, Drugs and the hard life now they have become addicted to something else.... Touring! Untill Christmas the group will play 46 shows and they have allready played 169 shows on their Tour. Aerosmith's manager says everything else is put aside. Can't it be that they are to old for the other things, we wonder?"

Ofcourse they said it in Swedish but they said something like that. while saying that they played "Love In an Elevator" in the background.

"Classics Live Complete" is not a new album since it's really just Classics Live and Classics Live II on one CD. The album cover is similar to the originals except it's in black (rather than red or blue). The booklet inside is a combine of the books for the seperate 20 bit SBM CDs. And The cover of it has a 1998 copyright on it.

It might only be released outside the US (like the "Greatest Hits 73-88" CD). The only person i've heard of that has found a copy so far is Clive D. Newton and he found his copy in HMV, UK

The Armageddon Soundtrack is back up to No. 3 on the Top 250 albums Chart!

Billboard posts:
Powered by the Aerosmith single "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing," the Columbia soundtrack to "Armageddon" hops up to No. 3, on sales of 122,000 units

Too bad, i really hoped that they were gonna have some new songs on it
