Good one, Brenda. In addition to "Dream On" and "Walk This Way", how about "Toys In the Attic", "Love in an Elevator"...just to name a couple.
Liked their "old" stuff better than the new-maybe 'cause I'm "old"...lol May also be why I'm drawing a blank on other songs-burnt out years.

Big Ten Inch LOL. I used to crank it on the record player when the frat boys next door came home in the early hours with that night's conquest. Good times. God bless college and paper-thin walls!

Aerosmith Divorce? Steven Tyler Says Not Leaving

By: Roger Friedman // Tuesday November 10, 2009

The war of words among Aerosmith’s members is going to get a little stranger.

This morning, Joe Perry declared that Steven Tyler, the band’s leader and songwriter, had quit. Perry suggested that the band would find a new lead singer and go on. This, after 39 years.

However, I am now told that Tyler is about to make announcement saying he never quit, doesn’t intend to quit and wants to go back to work. It might be true. Or it might be like in any divorce. The husband is always advised not to exit the domicile.

I'd do Steven Tyler in a heartbeat. Dunno why I think that man is so sexy!

One of my fave songs is Janie's Got a Gun. But Aerosmith has a bunch of classics besides Walk This Way. Love In an Elevator, Dream On, Sweet Emotion, Crazy... and those are just off the top of my head!

I loooove "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" from the movie Armageddon. (despite the fact that about 15 American Idol contestants have butchered it over the years, and their crappy versions replay my head while I am trying to listen to the great original)

OK, a blind item that's been revived on a gossip site I visit every now and then has people guessing, so I thought those who like BIs might want to see it here. I'll post the original and the follow-up. Warning: it's long.

Let me preface this post, by saying that if this story ever comes out, it would blow the music world up and shake it to its core..This would put the Milli Vanilli scandal and Ashlee Simpson SNL situation so far down the ladder it would be crazy..

Towards the end of last year I had a woman come into my office and she began to explain what she had done and had been doing for several years and it was one of the very few times that I just could not believe what I was hearing..I know the music industry inside and out, and I had never heard of something so extensive and pervasive as this..

This woman (S) came into my office because the payments she had been receiving had stopped and she wanted to either get the money that was owed to her, or expose what she had been doing to the light of day..

S is a sessions/studio/backup singer and is very good..Prior to her involvement in what I am going to describe, she made a very good living singing on commercials and being a backup singer for groups and other solo acts, etc..Like I said she is very good, but she does not really have that "look" which would make her a star, so record companies did not put her out front, but just used her talents..

In late 2000, a man came to her one day and said he needed someone to record some demos because he had written a lot of songs, but wanted a demo to shop the songs to singers and record labels..This is not unusual at all and she had done this type of work before and it paid pretty well so she agreed. What was unusual about her recording of the demos was how much work was put into the actual recordings..It was extensive..Generally there is not much time put into the recordings because you never really know if the song will even sell, and the money spent on recording could be put to better uses..These demos she was recording were actually being treated as if they were going to be released on a CD or to radio..They even did some mixing which was REALLY unusual..

After a few weeks she had recorded about over a dozen songs and she went on her way and was really oblivious to anything else pertaining to it, UNTIL several months later she was in her car and heard her voice coming from the radio, only it was another singer being given credit..(We will call this other singer MV for Milli Vanilli) She could not believe what she was hearing and did not know whether to be excited to hear herself on the radio, confused about the credit given to another singer or just pissed off for the same reasons..

What she did do, was to call the man who had originally come to her and had her record the songs..The man agreed to meet her and gave her a substantial sum of money and promised to keep giving her money every month as long as she kept her mouth shut. MV was taking off..(MV has/had several Top 40 songs and CD's. They could have gone to #1 or languished in the 30's..I really cannot go into much more detail or else it would be too easy to discover) MV was everywhere..on television, radio, awards shows, commercials..EVERYWHERE..meanwhile, S continued to get money every month and kept her little secret to herself..The guy who picked S was VERY lucky..Most singers would have caused a fuss, but S has always been in the background and was resigned to the fact she always would be, and was very happy just taking the $$, and did not want that to stop..

About 9 months go by and S is called by the guy because MV is going on tour and they want S to record some extra mixes and such for the tour..She agrees and does not really do much, but money is money..

Fast forward another year or so and S stops receiving money and after a few months of missed payments, calls the guy who explains that they need S to do another CD and then the payments can continue, but there is no more money unless she does more recordings..

S agrees and records another CD worth of songs which is released several months later and does even better than the first CD. This same process is repeated (I am not going to tell you the number of CD's because again you may be able to deduce and so I will just say the process repeated itself several times)

Well everything goes well for the most part for all these years and then no more payments, and no more calls and she cannot even locate our mystery man..S has not received a payment in six months when she came into my office and related this story..She did not even know the guy's name, but when she described him, I knew who he was and was even more floored than I had been previously..This was just something I had really not heard before..

I had heard of really altering voices in the recording studios and bringing in hired hands for one song or a large portion of a song, but never CD after CD and even doing extra work so a live performance would not sound staged..I told her I needed some time to check into her story and then we could proceed..It took two calls before I got the guy on the phone and he was pissed, scared, angry, threatening, remorseful..everything..It turns out the reason he had stopped making payments was he had been playing some shell games with the money between the record company, MV's earnings and MV's investments and just did not have any additional money..In addition, MV was not sure she wanted to continue on with what had been happening and so our mystery guy might be completely out of the picture..

I actually think the record company to this day has no idea what went on as the Guy was very good at what he does/did and knew how to make sure the record company was always happy..He stayed under budget, toured, made MV available, and made the record company money..

So a meeting was arranged in my office and S and MV finally met face to face..they had never done so, even though it was S who made MV a star..MV was rude to say the least when she saw what S looked like and it really upset me although S being her normal classy self could have cared less..

What we agreed to do that day was to provide S with one lump sum rather than a monthly income which was easier for Guy to pull off and S also agreed to never disclose her role in this drama and MV was on her own for future recordings and tours..

This involved literally millions of CD's and hundreds of concerts all over the world..The one thing I did get out of this beside my fee of course is a Gold Record autographed by S and by MV..I know it is the only one in the world..

Follow-up: MV has been or is currently married.
Further follow up: It's not Mandy Moore, Pink, Norah Jones, or Beyonce.

So any guesses as to who S or MV are? I didn't do the math, but this started a couple of years ago, yes?

There are tons of guesses, and he's giving more clues every day this week. Everything from Shania Twain (sp) to JLo to Britney to Alicia Keys to Madonna. The thing is, it has to be someone who would "blow the music world up and shake it to its core" if her identity was discovered, so I hardly think that would be Britney, who at least used to be able to sing, or JLo, who was more famous for...well, whatever she was famous for--that films with George Clooney? Her ass? Dating Diddy and Affleck?...than she was for singing. So it seems to me that it has to be someone we believe can sing and sing reasonably well.

The official timeline in the BI says 2000, but he said after his first posting that it is a soft timeline because it might reveal too much, so take 2000 as a "more or less" number.

Fergie was my guess, but not sure how long she's been around.
Is the setting Los Angeles? Does that rule out country artists?

So it has to be someone who recorded first before they ever went out on the road. Even with a soft timeline, I don't think it'd be Madonna. And I'd doubt if it's Alicia Keys, considering how she was discovered. I agree that I doubt it'd be Britney or JLo (neither of whom have ever impressed me much anyways).

The writer picked MV (Milli Vinilli) for one name. I wonder if the "S" means anything.

ETA: Shania Twain had a "Behind the Music" show on VH1. They had scenes of her singing in clubs when she was young and before she was discovered.

I've seen a number of votes for Christine Millian, but I don't even know who she is so I doubt the music world would blow up if she turned out to be a fraud.

The blind doesn't say that this was a new artist.
It could be they picked S, because she sounds like an existing singer. It wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't Madonna.
Look at these tour years and then read the blind.

Madonna's voice could be changing over the years..just saying.


Throwing out more names:

Christina Agulera
Gwen Stefani

Madonna had a renewed successful career:
"Madonna did not go on the road again until 2001 when she toured with the Drowned World Tour. It went on to become one of the most successful and highest-grossing concert tours of 2001. [2] She grossed more than US$75 million with summer sold-out shows and eventually played in front of 730,000 people throughout North America and Europe. [3] She followed this success with the 2004 Re-Invention World Tour, "

Madonna's current manager is named,"Guy"... Her other manager left in 2004
