Steve Martin's Surprise Banjo Cameo on Aerosmith & Yungblud's New Desert Road Version
Aerosmith BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Aerosmith and British rocker Yungblud dropped a surprise reimagining of their collaborative single this week that has the rock world buzzing. On October 24th, the legendary Boston rockers released My Only Angel Desert Road Version, a stripped-back acoustic take on their original track that features none other than comedy icon Steve Martin on banjo. Yes, you read that right, Steve Martin. The original My Only Angel had already made waves, entering at number one on Billboard's Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, marking Aerosmith's first new music in over a decade. But this Desert Road Version takes things in a completely different direction. Multiple outlets including KTLO and Kerrang reported that Steven Tyler, who's apparently a longtime admirer of the 80-year-old Martin, personally reached out to the Father of the Bride star to be part of the track. Martin even posted a wholesome text exchange between himself and the 77-year-old Tyler showing the two icons coordinating the collaboration, complete with all the tech struggles you'd expect from two guys in their late seventies.The acoustic version closes with a soulful banjo riff courtesy of Martin, who posted on Instagram, "I'm playing banjo on a Steven Tyler song," clearly thrilled about the unexpected partnership. Capitol Records announced that this new version follows the emotional core of the original but explores its more vulnerable side, with the band and Yungblud returning to the studio specifically to create this stripped-down interpretation.Both tracks will appear on the forthcoming Aerosmith and Yungblud collaborative EP titled One More Time, set for release on November 21st. Joe Perry previously praised the 28-year-old British artist, calling him "the real deal" and noting that "the end result turned out to be an amazing collaboration." Tyler echoed the sentiment, saying they "got on so well" and had "a blast" working together.Meanwhile, Aerosmith's Joe Perry is also scheduled to appear at the 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony on November 8th in Los Angeles, joining fellow performers Nancy Wilson from Heart and Jerry Cantrell from Alice in Chains.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Aerosmith Intrigue: Joe Perry's Hall of Fame Appearance Sparks Reunion Rumors as Tyler Recovers
Aerosmith BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Aerosmith remains squarely in the news this week as Joe Perry is set to appear at the 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Only days ago, widely circulated headlines confirmed that Perry and Heart’s Nancy Wilson have been added to the already stacked presenter and performer lineup, joining legends like Elton John, Mick Fleetwood, and Iggy Pop. Industry insiders are speculating that Perry’s appearance may hint at further collaborations or reunions, especially as the band’s future stays uncertain after last year’s farewell tour announcement according to Regional Media News.The band is still reeling from the late 2024 retirement from touring after Steven Tyler’s devastating vocal injury. Aerosmith announced on Instagram that despite months of rehabilitation after fracturing his larynx, Tyler’s full recovery is not possible. This forced them to make what they called a heartbreaking decision to retire from the road, expressing gratitude to their multi-generational fan base for five decades of support. Tom Hamilton recently told WBUR that Tyler’s healing is progressing well but at its own pace, and though he didn’t rule out a reunion, he insisted that any future plans would have to come from Tyler himself. The band is not rushing back, and the mood across interviews has struck a careful balance between nostalgia and realism.Just as fans were gaining hope for new behind-the-scenes content, the Aerosmith camp quietly canceled their long-rumored 50th-anniversary retrospective documentary. Sources close to the production told Aerosmith Back-Burner that the project—under development since at least 2023 and expected to chronicle everything from their last Vegas shows to the flurry of activity around Tyler’s recovery—was abruptly shelved in early October. Although there were glimpses of filming activity as late as spring 2024, including footage of Tyler in Central Park with a camera crew, management has not provided a concrete explanation, fueling frustration among diehards waiting for new archival releases. The archive itself, described as vast and largely unseen, remains tantalizingly out of reach. There is some optimism that, pending the outcome of Tyler’s legal proceedings scheduled for May 2026, the documentary could resurface, possibly alongside a short series of commemorative performances.Meanwhile, the Aerosmith brand continues to trend on social media, owing partly to coverage around Joe Perry’s Hall of Fame appearance, ongoing fan campaigns urging Sony Music to release the locked-away documentary, and the buzz generated by tribute acts like Draw The Line, who just played a packed show in New Hampshire as America’s only officially-endorsed Aerosmith tribute band.No new original music, band business deals, or solo releases have been reported in the past few days—and rumors of imminent new Aerosmith activity remain just that, unverified. The band’s long-term biographical legacy, however, appears as hot a topic as ever, with their final tour, canceled documentary, and Hall of Fame connections keeping Aerosmith’s story headline-worthy throughout October 2025.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Yungblud teased the release on Instagram, featuring a remix of the iconic Aerosmith wings logo replaced by a skull, and merchandise bundles include everything from collectible vinyl, B-side etchings, to poster-booklets designed by Joe Foti and celebrated photographer Ross Halfin.Online, the EP has triggered a viral surge, with the band’s official Threads and Instagram posts scoring tens of thousands of views and hundreds of replies. Notably, some fans wondered if this marked a last creative chapter—or a preview of more studio projects, sparking speculation in comments sections. Meanwhile, the group’s management has reportedly cancelled a long-awaited 50th-anniversary documentary, stirring considerable disappointment among diehard fans and industry insiders who saw it as a chance to solidify Aerosmith’s legacy alongside contemporaries like Metallica and the Stones. Social campaigns urging Sony and management to revive the project have started to trend, with the hashtag #ReleaseTheAerosmithDoc gaining momentum.Mainstream press and music insiders continue to debate Aerosmith’s influence in 2025. Following the band’s retirement, musicians like I Prevail’s Eric Vanlerberghe have publicly criticized institutions like the Grammys for relying on Aerosmith—rather than new acts—to represent rock, echoing a wider shift to younger artists. Meanwhile, tribute bands such as Draw The Line threw anniversary shows this week, drawing nostalgic crowds in New Hampshire while fans worldwide posted millions of “thank you” and “goodbye” messages, confirming Aerosmith’s impact is far from fading.There are whispers circulating online about Joe Perry searching for a new vocalist to potentially keep the spirit of Aerosmith alive, but so far these claims are unconfirmed and should be taken as pure speculation unless the band issues an official statement. For now, Aerosmith’s retirement stands, but their creative fire remains, their legacy debated, and their social channels more alive than ever.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Aerosmith, one of the most iconic rock bands in history, was formed in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1970. The band's classic lineup consists of Steven Tyler (lead vocals), Joe Perry (lead guitar), Tom Hamilton (bass guitar), Joey Kramer (drums), and Brad Whitford (rhythm guitar). The story of Aerosmith begins with a chance meeting between Tyler and Perry, who were playing in separate bands at the time. Tyler was in a band called Chain Reaction, while Perry and Hamilton were in a band named Jam Band. Recognizing a shared musical vision, they decided to join forces and recruited Hamilton, Kramer, and Whitford to complete the lineup. This merging of talents led to the formation of Aerosmith, a band that would soon become synonymous with rock and roll. Rise to Fame: 1970s Aerosmith quickly gained a reputation for their electrifying live performances and blues-infused rock sound. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1973, featured the hit single "Dream On," which became a signature song for the band. The follow-up albums, "Get Your Wings" (1974) and "Toys in the Attic" (1975), propelled Aerosmith to national stardom. "Toys in the Attic" included the hits "Sweet Emotion" and "Walk This Way," both of which received extensive radio play and solidified the band's place in rock history. The late 1970s saw Aerosmith continue their success with albums like "Rocks" (1976) and "Draw the Line" (1977). The band's combination of gritty rock and roll, Tyler's charismatic stage presence, and Perry's guitar prowess earned them a devoted fan base and critical acclaim. "Rocks," in particular, is often cited as one of the greatest rock albums of all time, influencing countless bands and musicians. However, their rise was not without challenges, as internal conflicts and substance abuse issues began to take their toll. The pressures of fame, coupled with relentless touring and recording schedules, led to increasing tensions within the band. Struggles and Resurgence: 1980s The early 1980s were a tumultuous period for Aerosmith. Drug addiction and personal disputes led to Perry and Whitford temporarily leaving the band. During this time, the band struggled to maintain their previous level of success. Albums like "Night in the Ruts" (1979) and "Rock in a Hard Place" (1982) did not achieve the same commercial impact as their earlier work. The band's live performances suffered, and their reputation took a hit as a result. In 1984, the classic lineup reunited, and Aerosmith began a remarkable comeback. Their collaboration with rap group Run-D.M.C. on a reimagined version of "Walk This Way" in 1986 introduced them to a new generation of fans and revitalized their career. The success of this collaboration was followed by the release of "Permanent Vacation" (1987), which featured hits like "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" and "Angel." The album marked the beginning of Aerosmith's resurgence and a return to commercial success. The band's decision to seek help for their substance abuse issues played a crucial role in their ability to stage a comeback, demonstrating their commitment to their music and each other. Peak Commercial Success: 1990s The 1990s were a period of sustained success for Aerosmith. Their 1989 album "Pump" produced hit singles such as "Love in an Elevator" and "Janie's Got a Gun," both of which received significant radio and MTV airplay. The band's next album, "Get a Grip" (1993), continued their winning streak with hits like "Livin' on the Edge," "Cryin'," and "Crazy." These songs, along with their memorable music videos, cemented Aerosmith's status as one of the most popular rock bands in the world. Aerosmith's ability to adapt to changing musical trends while staying true to their rock roots was key to their continued relevance. They maintained a relentless touring schedule, playing to sold-out arenas and stadiums around the globe. The band's work during this period earned them numerous awards, including multiple Grammy Awards and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001. Their music videos, often featuring cinematic storytelling and high production values, became iconic in their own right, further solidifying their place in popular culture. Continued Evolution and Enduring Legacy: 2000s to Present The new millennium saw Aerosmith continue to evolve and experiment with their sound. The band released "Just Push Play" in 2001, which featured the hit single "Jaded." They also explored their blues roots with the 2004 album "Honkin' on Bobo," which included covers of classic blues songs. Despite lineup changes and health issues, Aerosmith remained a powerful force in the music industry. Their live performances, characterized by Tyler's energetic stage presence and Perry's masterful guitar work, remained as electrifying as ever. Throughout the 2010s, Aerosmith continued to tour extensively, performing for audiences around the world. Their "Global Warming Tour" and "Aero-Vederci Baby! Tour" demonstrated their enduring appeal and ability to draw large crowds. The band's ability to connect with audiences of all ages highlighted their timeless appeal and the universal power of their music. Latest News and Retirement Announcement In recent news, Aerosmith announced their "Peace Out" farewell tour in 2023, signaling the band's intention to retire from extensive touring after more than five decades of performing.

The "Toxic Twins" moniker given to Tyler and Perry during the height of their drug use underscored the severity of their addictions. Both have been open about their battles with drugs and alcohol, and their eventual recovery has been an integral part of their story. Their willingness to confront and overcome their addictions has been a source of inspiration for many fans. The band's decision to enter rehab in the mid-1980s marked a turning point, leading to a renewed focus on their music and their relationships with one another. Their successful comeback in the late 1980s and 1990s is a testament to their resilience and determination. Influence on Music and Culture Aerosmith's influence extends far beyond their music.

They have supported numerous charitable organizations and causes, including those related to addiction recovery, children's health, and disaster relief.
