Steven Tyler says his that during his two season stint as a judge on American Idol he let contestants that he should have bounced advance, saying, '...I was gentle because I couldn't imagine telling some girl ...she sucks and she can't sing' Speaking with Howard Stern, the Aerosmith front man admitted taking the gig as a judge on the show because he '...was pissed off at the band. I fell offstage and nobody called me', referring to his famous twirling stumble and tumble during the group's set at the Sturgis Rally that caused cancelation of Aerosmith's tour and nearly ended the band.
