Tyler Idol Bid Re-Opens Aerosmith Rift

News that Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler is considering and under consideration for a judging seat on American Idol (story) reached guitarist Joe Perry the same way it got to everyone else - on the internet.  Perry is clearly not pleased over the latest case of Tyler apparently neglecting to let his band mates know he is making plans that could interfere with the touring and recording plans of Aerosmith.  This  comes on the heels of anger within the band over Tyler following the band's Las Vegas show with a party at Studio 54 that Perry told the Boston Herald others in the group did not get invited to.  The latest episode in the soap opera that Aerosmith turned into last year after a string of health issues derailed a tour with ZZ Top and threatened to end the band is just simmering at the moment, and the financial and legal consequences of another tour falling apart are probably enough to cool tempers for the time being, but the lid may not stay on if Tyler is offered the Idol gig and takes it.
