Feud between Joe Perry and Steven Tyler 
Is it just media hype?

In September, 2009, Steven Tyler unexpectedly jumps up on the stage during  Joe Perry Project performance.  Perry's singer was a German fellow by the name of Hagan. Hagan was on stage when Tyler appeared. Tyler was angry with Perry at the time. He made some sarcastic remarks, ignored Hagan, and told Perry he was going to sing Walk This Way. Watch the drama............

Same event: Different angle, better sound

Later, Joe was interviewed (below) about the incident. I don't think Perry is as angry with Tyler as Tyler is with him. I think Tyler is still pissed off about the fact that when he fell off the stage August, 2009 in Sturgis, North Dakota, broke his shoulder and injured his head and was in the hospital 27 weeks, no one in the band came to see him. Why this happened, I don't know at this point, but I intend to find out and post it here

 Aerosmith Returns to the Stage This Fall

The Rock ‘n’ Roll Legends Bring Their Unforgettable Live Show To Latin America

America’s greatest rock ‘n’ roll band, Aerosmith, will bring their one of a kind live show to Latin America this fall. The tour kicks off October 22nd in Lima, Peru. Presale tickets will go on sale May 24th and 25th for the fan club. General tickets will go on sale May 26th. The band first played in Latin America in 1977 and last year’s electrifying tour through South America left fans begging for more.

Frontman Steven Tyler says of the upcoming tour, “I'm looking forward to sweating up a storm with the crazy Latin American fans."

"The band is so excited to play for our Latin American fans. We didn’t think we would be back so soon. Every gig we play there is always a special one,” says guitarist Joe Perry of their return.

"We had a fantastic time when we toured South America in 2010 and are looking forward to seeing our amazing and passionate fans across Latin America when we return later this year," adds bassist Tom Hamilton.

Rock icons for over 30 years, Aerosmith’s music spans generations while its members remain as dynamic and innovative as they were when the band first began. As four time Grammy winners, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees (2001), recipients of 12 MTV Music Video Awards, and countless other awards, Aerosmith shows no sign of slowing down performing memorable sold out shows around the world for decades as well as selling over 150 million albums. Blazing past the trends and fads of rock and roll, the band has created their own unique place in rock history as one of the most powerful forces in popular music.

Johnnie Depp and Steven Tyler may collaborate on songwriting

Johnny Depp has always enjoyed working on some odd projects, but his latest endeavor may be his strangest yet -- working on songs with 'Idol' judge and Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler.

"We've been hanging out here and there," Depp told Extra (via MSN). "He's someone I've admired greatly for such a long time. The idea of writing songs with him is a dream come true."

The pairing isn't totally out of left field. The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor's roots in rock 'n' roll go back to early 1993, when Depp joined Butthole Surfers frontman Gibby Haynes to form the band P. He has since performed with the Kids and Brit band Babybird.

According to the Boston Herald, Depp recently announced that he would like to play the enigmatic lead character of Aerosmith in a biopic. "I would give it a shot, why not?" Check out Depp rocking out -- cigarette in his hand -- while playing the bass below
Dedicated to amazing and creative performers and writers...

Tal Wilkenfeld took up guitar at 14 in her native Sydney, before switching over to the electric bass just three years later. “I’ve always just picked up any instrument and been able to play it," she said.  Only 24 yrs old, she is playing her awesome Bass solo (below) in Cause We've Ended As Lovers with Jeff Beck' s band at Ronnie 's Scott in 2007. Her presence was especially remarkable considering how often Beck has chosen to play in a trio format (with drummer Terry Bozzio and keyboardist Tony Hymas) in recent years, eschewing a bass player altogether.

Director Tim Burton and actor Johnny Depp collaborate again

Walt Disney Studios has just released the movie Alice in Wonderland, pairing director Tim Burton and actor Johnny Depp. These two are a wonderful combination in the making of unusual and "far out" movies. They work well together and have teamed up more than once in the past.

It appears that both Burton and Depp have a penchant for the exaggerated, perverse, and bizarre. Their first film together was Edward Scissorhands (1990), a strange tale about a shy young man created by an inventor who, upon dying suddenly, left him with scissors for hands. The film documents what it feels like to live your life being different from everyone around you.

Other films combining the talents of these two creative geniuses include Ed Wood (1994), Sleepy Hollow, (1999), Charlie and The Chocolate Factory (2005), and Sweeny Todd (2007). Together they have turned out one unconventional flick after the other. Both men are brilliant, unique, and apparently obsessed with off-the-wall, somewhat nightmarish and warped drama, which includes an element of humor and tenderness.

A fascination with the dark and perverse

Tim Burton has made twenty five films since 1982. During that time, he has managed to stay just within the mainstream of Hollywood, although his films do not reflect that. On the contrary, he has remained true to himself and to his particular film and artistic choices, with a strong personal vision and a distinct uncompromising style. A past creator of horror films, his work although visually amazing and innovative, contains strong dark overtones. Yet, for some reason, he remains connected to the commercial Hollywood tradition; a contradiction to say the least.

A meeting of two brilliant and talented minds

Burton met his partner, actress Helena Bonham Carter in 2002 when the two of them worked on his film Planet of The Apes. They have been together ever since and now have two small children. Carter, an award winning actress, is a seasoned artist in her own right, with many films under her belt. Her first film was "Lady Jane Grey", in which she played the 16 year old queen to Henry the Eighth. Next she starred in "Room With A View" when she was barely twenty years old, for which she received an Academy Award nomination.

She has been making films well over 20 years and her career has seen her tackle every kind of role from the suicidal queen Ophelia in Hamlet, to a romantic heroine in Howard's End (1992) to a neurotic misfit in Fight Club (1999) to the helpful wife of a maniac butcher in Sweeney Todd (2007). And now in the new film Alice in Wonderland, to be released in 2010, she is playing the Red Queen.

At the age of 43, Bonham Carter pretty much concentrates on working with her partner, Burton, on his particular genre of films, which are brilliantly innovative and exciting visually and truly unique in every other way. She is fond of saying "I hate this image of me as a prim Edwardian. I want to shock everyone." And so, this team of Burton and Bonham Carter continues to amaze, frighten, and shock us with a continuous output of creative, entertaining, and visually stimulating images.
