No-Names Need Not Apply for Steven Tyler's former position....
Well, the rumors are still flying, but it looks like they have some solid insight this time around. Aerosmith is still moving forward with plans to replace Steven Tyler as their frontmant. *Gasp* But before you get your rock-star hopes up, Joe Perry has gone on record saying that they are officially looking for someone who has already made a anme for themselves. "In order for both parties to get something out of this, to move things along musically, it's important to get somebody who's a legitimate headliner of their own, " Perry stated in a recent interveiw with TheGolbeAndMail.com. My question: what legitimate headliner is going to be willing to fill the very big shoes (and lips) of Steven Tyler??? Good luck with that Perry.
New STP Album is in the works!!!
"We just finished two songs at my home studio, and we're going through the editing process and getting everything sounding tasty," Robert DeLeo let slip in an interveiw with Spin.com.
Nothing better than hearing it straight form the artist's mouth.

Avenged Sevenfold frontman Says Goodbye to "The Rev"
M. Shadows paid tribute to hid friend and bandmate, James "The Rev" Sullivan in a new tear-jerking online post at www.avengedsevenfold.com.
“I don’t know how to start this or know where to begin. First I would like to thank all the fans for their support through the passing of Jimmy. It has been comforting to see his fans, our fans, and everyone in general give their support. Jimmy was my best friend, as he was best friends with many other people including the members of Avenged Sevenfold. He was hands down the greatest person I have ever known. I told him I loved him everyday. He demanded your love and was never afraid to give it back. I have walked side by side with Jimmy, everyday, for the last 18 years of my life. I have no memories before Jimmy, and it’s going to be damn hard to move forward without him here.
“It still doesn’t seem real. He was my best friend, songwriting partner, band mate, confidant, and most importantly, he was my brother. The crazy thing about Jimmy was that everyday was a crazy story. We have told our favorite Jimmy stories for the last two weeks and never have we repeated ourselves. This guy was magical. The out pour of art from his soul was unlike the world has ever seen. Unless you spent a day with Jimmy, or 18 years, it’s impossible to explain, so I’m not going to try.
“He inspired people in different ways. He wasn’t just a drummer, he honestly didn’t care so much for the technical side of drums, cause he could play anything he wanted. He was all about creating beautiful songs, original fills and hopefully touching people with his art and mind. He told all of us for years, including his parents, that he knew two things in life. He wanted to be a rockstar, and that he wasn’t going to live past 30 years old. He was right on both accounts, but I know Jimmy, and if he knew how much pain this would cause for the ones he left behind, he would have done anything he could to stick around a little longer. Jimmy gave so much and in the end it was his time to go. All my reasons for wanting him to stay are selfish and I know he is in a better place then this, so in a way I’m joyful that my best friend is now at peace. He made it to the other side first and I can’t wait to hang with him again.
“I have so much to say but can’t find the words so I will wait until time can allow me to find a way to express myself. As for the rest of us, it has become clear what we need to do. We had just finished writing a record with Jimmy. I can’t promise what the future holds because right now it’s too painful to think about, but we know we need to record and put out this record in honour of Jimmy, for Jimmy. He would call me every night to talk about songs and tell me ‘this shit is gonna change the world.’ I agreed with him, unfortunately I didn’t know it would be on these terms.
“Please be patient with us for we cannot imagine how hard this is gonna be to get through, we just know we have to do it for his legacy. After that, who knows? But I know Jimmy will help us make that decision when the time comes. I love you Jimmy and I feel like the luckiest man in the world to have known you and spent 18 years of my life with you. Rest in Peace my friend.
“M. Shadows.”
