Crisis Talks Prevents Splitting Of Aerosmith

April 9th, 2010

Aerosmith held an emergency crisis talk in February to save the band from splitting up.  The move to hold the talks came after Steven Tyler had announced that he planned to take a two-year hiatus from the band before quitting the band.

“There was management there. (We were) all lawyered up,” he told the Boston Herald. “There was a lot of sort of reconciling and processing feelings and stuff. Everyone said how they wanted things to be in the future and it became clear that, for everybody, the coolest thing to do would be to resolve things with the band.

“The phone was ringing. People wanted to see the band. We finally realised, even with all the bullshit flying around, that there was a beautiful thing right there if we had enough sense to grab it.”

Hamilton also mentioned that Steven Tyler going into rehab for an addiction to painkillers helped to keep the band together.

“(It was an) intensive sobriety treatment (programme),” he added. “He took a really big step and it was really great.”

The band have since announced a European tour taking in a show at London’s O2 Arena
and a headline slot at this summer’s Download Festival alongside Rage Against The Machine and AC/DC.

Aerosmith: Essential Interviews

Beginning with one of AEROSMITH’s first lengthy interviews in 1973 and spanning the legendary hard rock quintet’s 35-plus years, AEROSMITH: ESSENTIAL INTERVIEWS lets “America’s Greatest Rock & Roll Band” tell its own inspirational story. From its explosive, drug and sex-steered early heyday and the propulsion of mid-70’s classics Toys In The Attic and Rocks, to its fall from grace and initial disintegration as a result of those vices, Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Joey Kramer and Brad Whitford not only survived these experiences, but learned from them and ultimately forged one of the greatest rock comebacks ever.

Steven Tyler is one of life’s natural born survivors. With an exhaustively vibrant personality, this dynamic lead singer has been one of the most distinctive figures in rock music for more than three decades. Although he was raised in a close knit, loving family, Tyler survived a tough upbringing in the Bronx. His inherent passion for performing and a talent for playing instruments propelled him into rock music as a teenager. He fronted a succession of local bands before meeting the guys with whom he would form Aerosmith in 1970. Laura Jackson reveals the stories behind Tyler’s relationships with band members and the many women in his life, his battle with Hepatitis C, and his drug-fuelled meltdown during the late ’70s and early ’80s when he was snorting pure heroin. She also explores his visits to rehab in (more…)
