Rick Dufay working on a new solo album
Rick Dufay, the former Aerosmith guitarist, is in the studio. Rick is putting the finishing touches on what he promises to be an exciting solo album.
The Next Album
After AEROSMITH wound up their Japanese tour on Jan. 7, they began seriously thinking about their new album. Once they finished penning half the songs for the follow-up to 1997's Grammy-nominated Nine Lives, the Boston-based bruisers decided it was about time to hire a producer. According to a label rep, the band has selected knob-turner Mark Serletic, who produced MATCHBOX 20's Yourself or Someone Like You. He also produced "Smooth," the track Matchbox singer ROB THOMAS recorded for SANTANA's platinum-chart topper Supernatural. Sony is giving Aerosmith a wide-berth, and don't even have the record penciled in for this year. Our best advice, look for it in early 2001

Aerosmith Contributes To 'Gone In 60 Seconds' Soundtrack
Aerosmith, Possibly Springsteen Contribute To `Gone In 60 Seconds'
The soundtrack for the upcoming film Gone In 60 Seconds could be packed with a
diverse array of music, including Aerosmith, Bruce Springsteen, Rob Zombie,
and more. The upcoming Jerry Bruckheimer-produced remake of the 1974 B-movie
car-chase thriller is due out June 9, and the Capitol Records soundtrack will
definitely include a new, still-undetermined Aerosmith song, according to a
source at Touchstone Pictures. Calls to Capitol Records for comment were not
returned by press time.
Although the Touchstone source could not confirm any artists other than
Aerosmith, the film soundtrack will also reportedly include several
Springsteen songs. It might also include material from more cutting edge acts
like Zombie, Buckcherry, Godsmack, Staind, Slipknot, Powerman 5000 , and
rappers the Wu-Tang Clan, according to the film-gossip site, Dark Horizons (www.darkhorizons.com).
Gone In 60 Seconds stars Nicolas Cage as a car thief who, in order to save his brother's life, agrees to lead his gang in stealing fifty cars in one night before retiring. The film also stars Robert Duvall ( The Apostle), Giovanni Ribisi ( Saving Private Ryan, Boiler Room), Angelina Jolie ( Girl, Interrupted), and Timothy Olyphant (Go, Scream 2).

Aerosmith Readying New Album
(2/14/00, 7 a.m. ET) - While they may be taking their time, Aerosmith is hard
at work on their next album. There's no name or release date for the project
yet; in fact, the band hasn't even settled on a producer. What is known is
that the group has already written a bunch of songs, and they're expecting to
come up with a few more before they enter the studio for more serious work
later this year.
LAUNCH spoke to songwriter and lead singer Steven Tyler, and we asked him how
Aerosmith decides which songs make the final cut when they're recording a new
album. He said it's a very simple process. "The songs we pick out of the
20 or 30 songs we write for an album, we pick because I look at Joe [Perry]
and say, 'Hey, man, could you play that to the audience?' 'No.' 'Well, then
let's not put it on the record.' You know, it's about what gets us off, and
what we think we would get major boners from playing to an audience in
Barcelona."

Draw The Line on MTV
People Magazine
"If you see Aerosmith's Steven Tyler stepping out with ink stains on
his pants, don't think the rocker had an accident with a fountain pen. The
outrageous trousers are the brainchild of L.A. designer Henry Duarte, who
spent 30 hours doodling on the $3,200 Vanilla Leather Pants."

"Big Mike"
The new guy is Thomas LeBrun, or "Little Tom". He is tough looking, but apparently a sweetheart (so far). About 40ish with a moustache.

Q Magazine
In the heavy rotation area, to top the list was ‘Draw The Line’, with the review going ‘Recorded by a band in disarray and fuelled by heart-stopping amounts of cocaine, this 1977 offering remains a criminally overlooked gem in the Aerosmith back catalogue’
On the last page, there is an interview with Henry Rollins, and a question goes ‘What was the first gig you ever went to’. He said ‘lets see. Aerosmith, with REO Speedwagon opening. It was in Washington DC and I was 15 or 16 years old’
Also, there is a review of the Best Of Joe Perry Project album. It got 2 out of 5 stars for it, and basically the paragraph long review explains how he broke up with the band and that the album starts good and ends like shit. The review ends with ‘not even Perry himself could have mourned their passing’

It was also translated into Japanese, a girl on stage read
it to the audience.
Oh great spirit manifested in all things
As infinite intelligence of the universe
The one God of all religions called by many names
Bring our hearts together in peace
So we may realize that all things are connected through you
Remove all our fear
So we may see the true meaning and purpose of our existence
Fill our souls with your spirit
So we may join together will all loving beings
To bring peace and joy to all the world
According to your plan
So thy will be done
Amen
Peace
And peace forever.

Aerosmith Tribute Album "Right In the Nuts" update
AEROSMITH - RIGHT IN THE NUTS TRIBUTE
The Aerosmith "Right In The Nuts" Tribute CD is set for a spring
2000 release on Small Stone Records: http://www.smallstone.com
Vinyl will be on Tee Pee Records. "Aerosmith has been my favorite rock
band since I was a little kid", says Small Stone chief Scott Hamilton,
"although, their newer material from 83-present completely stinks.
Anyway, I always said I would do an Aerosmith tribute record when I was
starting out my label about 5 years ago...and everyone at the time thought it
was a stupid idea, but here we are now in early 2000. The same folks in
Detroit, still think I'm nuts...I do not give a fuck...I just want to put
records worth owning in my eclectic record collection and for other people to
dig on'."
"So anyway, we just put the word that we were going to finally put this comp together and response has been overwhelming. Through the network of musicians/bands/friends/other labels/on-line stores, magazines, & info sites, the "Right In The Nuts" comp literally fell into place in a few short weeks. We are hoping to have all of the bands songs by the end of February, assemble and master in March, Do the artwork & manufacturing in April and have it out to the world in May-June. This is going to be a very limited run cd, no more then 5000 copies total - double cd. (the first 2500 copies are for all the bands on it, radio station, press and all of that other promotional propaganda)."
Line-up & selected tunes:
Other bands that Small Stone are trying to get a hold of/or
are on the fence: Beaver, 7 ZUMA 7, The Heads and Nebula. Song wish list: (of
tunes that have not yet been spoken for): "Three Mile Smile",
"Woman Of The World", "Lick And A Promise", "Critical
Mass", "One Way Street", "Make It" and "Let The
Music Do The Talking"
