On second thought, Steven Tyler will just stay in Aerosmith

Two days ago, Steven Tyler threatened to leave the only band that could tolerate his antics and instead form “Brand Tyler,” a nondescript project. Last night, Tyler surprised the crowd during a Joe Perry Project show in NYC and announced that he’s not quitting Aerosmith. Yeah, nobody would care about “Brand Tyler.”

The video is below.

The guy is a big goon. Joe Perry, however, seems level-headed enough. After all, Perry wanted to make another record in the vein of their bluesy sound from the 70s. Steven Tyler, however, wanted to write simple pop songs similar to “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing.”

Joe Perry says Steven Tyler is done with Aerosmith

I could care less about Aerosmith, but I understand this is big news.

Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry said today that singer Steven Tyler quit the band following a recent concert in Abu Dhabi.

Bassist Tom Hamilton told the Boston Herald’s Inside Track that there is dissension among the “Bad Boys From Boston,” but that he hopes things can be worked out. He dismissed a report that guitarist Brad Whitford discussed the possiblity of Aerosmith finding a new frontman.

However, Perry told the Las Vegas Sun today that he believes Tyler is history.

“Steven quit as far as I can tell,” Perry said from his Boston home. “I don’t know anymore than you do about it. I got off the plane two nights ago. I saw online that Steven said that he was going to leave the band. I don’t know for how long, indefinitely or whatever. Other than that, I don’t know.”

The band will continue whether or not Tyler comes back. Either way, Joe Perry still has his own solo project, which is probably more interesting than anything Aerosmith will put together in the future.
