While Steven Tyler's crazy shenanigans have been gaining him a whole new set of fans through his current stint on American Idol, seeing all these new contestants has given the Aerosmith frontman the inspiration to want to record a new album with his longtime band. Tyler announced on Twitter that he has buried the hatchet with guitarist Steve Perry, who at one point criticized Tyler for joining a cheesefest like Idol and will work on some songs together during their downtime. This will be the first album of new material in over ten years.
I say you'd be a fool if you didn't see this coming, since people who criticize AI should know that since MTV and other music video outlets have traded in showing actual music videos for reality shit shows, programs like AI and Glee are introducing a new generation of kids to music they may not have heard anywhere else. And since Aerosmith's Greatest Hits album Big Ones is selling out like hot cakes, as well as their biggest singles Dream On and I Don't Want to Miss a Thing (both which were sung on Idol), now would be as great a time to come out with a new album. JLo knows this strategy well, since she's using the show to promote her latest music video and her album Love? which comes out next month.
