Steven Tyler tops the hennemusic Hot 10

Steven Tyler leads the pack this week as he tops the hennemusic Hot 10.

The Aerosmith’s singer was in Boston recently and was asked about his possible return to American idol next season.

“We’re in negotiations,” was about as far as Steven was willing to commit, while Entertainment Weekly had previously reported that Fox had confirmed that Tyler and fellow judge Randy Jackson are set to return to the judges’ table for season 11 of the popular reality series, but no reference was made to Jennifer Lopez’ status.

At #7, we have video of Tyler playing a few impromptu songs with the house band at the Boston House Of Blues for a local magazine’s party attended by the public.

Metallica and the Big 4 are certainly making headlines lately as their European swing kicked off recently in Germany. The second show of the tour – in Sweden – was carried by Swedish TV and fans posted Metallica’s full set to youtube; we collected all 18 videos into one place and rock fans are eating it up, as it lands in the #2 position on the HH10. More video from the Milan, Italy show landed at #5.

Other new additions to the list include Sammy Hagar, who recently commented that his eventual reunion with Van Halen was “inevitable” - while making no reference to how he’d convince Eddie VH to drop his son, Wolfgang, on bass so that Hagar’s pal Michael Anthony could return to the fold. Hmmm.

Bluesman Seasick Steve continues to be a high-profile artist in the UK these days, as he plays the festival circuit there. At #8, we have video of Steve as he was joined by Led Zep bassist John Paul Jones, Jack White and Dead Weather vocalist Alison Mosshart during his iTunes Festival appearance in London.

At #9, Soundgarden kicked off their first tour in 14 years with a show in Toronto, and hennemusic has snagged video of opening night for fans to check out.
