Tom Hamilton wants fans to know that Aerosmith will continue – with Steven Tyler – despite the singer’s recent public confirmation as an American Idol judge (see “Steven Tyler confirmed as American Idol judge” here).
“Steven’s been very emphatic in saying that the way his time is arranged on the show leaves room to work on a record,” Hamilton told the Boston Herald. “He’s been taking great pains to remind everybody of that, so hopefully that’s the way it will come out.”
Hamilton told the paper that he’s anxious to get in the studio to work on a new Aerosmith record, but the band is going to need to learn to juggle some new schedules. “There’s a lot of not knowing what’s going to happen, but that’s how it’s always been for us,” he said.
Tom does have an eye on the bigger picture, keenly aware of the impact AI has on pop culture. “I’m not sitting here thinking that (Tyler on AI) is not going to work for us. Steven is an incredible I-can-do-anything kind of guy. But he’s taken a big bite, and I’m looking forward to seeing him chew it.”
Hamilton confirmed that the band was made aware of Tyler’s “potential” Idol gig from band management in late July, before a show in Southern California.
The bassist said he’s never watched AI, but thinks another tv series might be a better fit for the band as whole. “Just this afternoon I was watching ‘Family Feud’ thinking we should be on this show,” Tom said, laughing, “Oh wait, we already are!
