Fire KO's Rockin'
Home
A vacant N. H. home where Aerosmith front man
Steven Tyler used to jam was gutted by fire yesterday and investigators
suspect arson.
Two firefighters suffered minor injuries
battling the blaze and the state fire marshal told the Associated Press that a
preliminary investigation showed the fire appears to have been set.
Tyler, who grew up in New Hampshire and
still owns property in Sunapee, used to visit the house on Pleasant Pond in
Warner to play music.

Clubland To Be
Released Next Month!
According to the website UpcomingMovies
"Clubland", the movie in which Steven Tyler has a cameo role in, is
going to be released on VHS & DVD next month!
The cover of the movie has a picture of
Steven with Lori Petty in the upper right hand corner.
upcomingmovies says it will be released on "December 12th, 2000"
while Amazon.com says "December 26th, 2000." Either way, you can
pre-order the regular VHS, the Subtitled in Spanish VHS, or the DVD right now.
Both VHS titles are still the "Rental Price" which means like
$100.00 though. But, the DVD is only like 14 bucks. So, I guess it will be
available to rent on December 12th.
I believe Steven filmed his role in 1997 and
he plays record producer David Foster...

Tom and Brad Rock For
The Skinner House
Tom and Brad picked up their bass and guitar
for a children's benefit on Saturday, November 18 in an effort to raise funds
to build Skinner House in South Hadley, MA, a music haven for children living
with Williams Syndrome. Tom and Brad accompanied three individuals living with
the condition on various Aerosmith tracks. The first performance was with a 40
year old female singer and accordion player who performed "I Don't Want
To Miss A Thing;" the second was an instrumental jam session with a child
drummer on "Sweet Emotion." The night ended with Tom, Brad and a
young musician belting out "Come Together."
Aerosmith donated an autographed guitar
towards the event's silent auction that earned $7,500 for the Skinner House.
The Skinner House is conceptualized to be a multi-faceted program for children
to learn about music and the arts. Williams Syndrome is a rare genetic
condition that causes medical and developmental problems. Individuals with
Williams Syndrome have a unique strength in their expressiveness and it was
clearly displayed Saturday night as Tom and Brad had a great time with all for
the Skinner House.

P.S. The new version is very re-mixed (but

the song. the original is more stipped down and simple...but the new version
is very good as well with the addition of Manzarek's keyboards.

News From The Road
Tom Hamilton writes:
Okay, I think I'm awake now.
The record is cruising. We're all feeling
really inspired. The vibe of the creative process is really different this
time and everybody's just diggin', diggin', diggin', it. It's our first
"in-house" record since our first one. One really cool thing is
being part of all the cutting edge changes that have come lately in ways to
make records. We've pretty much shattered our long held belief that you have
to go into the big studios in the big cities to get good sounds and make a
proper record. Ain't true no mo'! Don't get me wrong, I love recording
studios. The times we have spent as a band locked up together in a really
great studio are like pearls on a string. But the way we're doing it this time
is much more laid back and dialed in to the creative process. YEAH BABY!
So, the album is on schedule, if there
really is such a thing. Whether or not doesn't matter this time simply because
the project's just cookin' along. If this were our last album we'd only be
halfway through it.
The Museum of Fine Art in Boston has a new
thing called the Art of the Guitar. It has guitars made in the Sixteenth
Century and all the way up to present day. They had instruments from Hendrix,
Clapton, Lennon, and even from that famous Sixteenth century star, Heathcliffe
Springsteene. Well, maybe not him butŠ there was one from Joe. He has this
ancient Supro he uses for slide guitar. When I saw it I instantly pictured
being on the road watching JP play that thing. It took me a minute to get used
to it in this genteel, quiet environment.
Meanwhile there wasn't even one bass guitar!
What the freakin' frig!! I guess people don't know whether to think of basses
as basses or bass guitars. I've always thought of them as guitars. They twang,
they chomp, they ring, they wail and they rock. Sounds like a guitar to me.
Not only that but us bass players are up to five strings now. Some of the
wackos have six strings. Lately I've found four to be plenty. Live simply, I
guess.

Joe Perry Article
from The Boston Globe
PERRY PERTURBED BY LOCAL RADIO
Author: By Michael Saunders and Jim Sullivan

Section: Living
NAMES & FACES / BY MICHAEL SAUNDERS AND JIM SULLIVAN
Do not mistake Aerosmith's Joe Perry for
anything but a happy man: lovely wife, booming career, new album on the
horizon. But he is not happy about the state of Boston rock radio these days,
not when it comes to Aerosmith being heard on it.
Here's the deal, according to Perry:
"Angel's Eye," the band's new song from the "Charlie's
Angels" soundtrack, is being played heavily on rock stations all across
the United States - everywhere, in fact, except in Aerosmith's hometown.
"Radio here is a backwater," said the guitarist, who was at the MFA
last weekend for the party celebrating (what else?) the "Dangerous
Curves" guitar exhibit.
"'BCN and 'AAF are not playing
it." Perry figures that's because Aerosmith, a band that's more than a
quarter-century old, doesn't fit the stations' concept of modern rock, active
rock, or alternative rock - those pesky subdivisions of music according to
radio. The song's at No. 6 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock tracks chart.
"People don't call it `alternative rock' out in the world," he says.
Radio here, he says, "is provincial, quaint."
As to the upcoming and as-yet-untitled
album, Perry says the bad boys are about to start mixing; they expect to hand
it in in January, release it in March, and begin touring in May. Perry and
singer Steven Tyler wrote and produced it with Mark Hudson and Marti
Frederiksen. "We couldn't stand the idea of working with another
producer," Perry says, "and making another record by the numbers.
[This one is] reminiscent of the old Aerosmith, but Steven never sang like
this. We're either going down right or going down. I'd rather do it this
way."

Rolling Stone photo and quote
Here's the photo of Steven,
Joe and Vincent Pastore, from the November 23 issue of Rolling Stone (#854)
As reported earlier, Steven and Joe were
recently in New York completing a track for Mob Story: A Hip-Hopra with
Vincent Pastore, formerly known as "Big Pussy" from the
highly-acclaimed HBO series, The Sopranos. In the current issue of Rolling
Stone (Issue 854 Drew Barrymore cover), Steven explains his involvement in the
Jack Douglas work.
"I sing on a song called 'Breaking
These Chains' - as opposed to [in faux Italian accent] 'Breaking My Balls'
which is what Pussy wanted. I told him to shut up before he gets
whacked…again."

100 GREATEST ARTISTS OF HARD ROCK
Led Zeppelin is the greatest hard rock band of all time, according to VH1's
"100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock" -- a five-part special airing
Nov. 13-17 (at 10 p.m. ET/PT). Second on the list is the original goth-rock
band Black Sabbath, followed by legendary guitar wizard Jimi Hendrix. AC/DC
and Metallica round out the top five. Hosted by Carmen Electra, "100
Greatest Artists of Hard Rock" spans music's high-volume era from its
chord-crashing genesis in the 1960s (Yardbirds, Rolling Stones, Hendrix)
through its arena-rock ascendance (Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith),
the angry new wave (Sex Pistols, The Clash), and the alternative movement
(Nirvana, Soundgarden). The special features never-before seen performance
footage, rare photos, archival clips and new interviews with the artists
themselves.

Stone Magazine / Info on 'Mob Story'
In the current issue of Rolling Stone Magazine
(Issue 854 w/ Drew Barrymore on the cover) there's an article and a picture of
Steven and Joe with Vincent Pastore (Big Pussy from the Sopranos) on page 27
(Random Notes)
In the picture Steven is holding a gun,
biting on a cigar and wearing a t-shirt that says "Pussy is not
Dead".
