Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler was featured on a recent episode of BBC’s Top Gear.
The rocker took a spin as the Star In A Reasonably Priced Car, and the long-running automotive series is sharing some behind-the-scenes video from the program.
Top Gear’s blog noted that its new Vauxhall Astra Tech Line had its “first mechanical sin bin of the series” thanks to Tyler deciding to take the quick route from fourth to first gear. “But after a quick car change, and some menacing morse code messages from The Stig, the Demon of Screamin’ didn’t miss a thing… apart from a few apexes.”
This week, Tyler and Aerosmith are playing a series of shows in Japan.
The Boston rockers recently released the new “Rock For The Rising Sun” DVD, a project that shares the story of the band’s tour of Japan following the devastating March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami that hit the region.
In the autumn of 2011, despite advice to the contrary, Aerosmith brought their "Back On The Road" tour to Japan, a country with which they'd always had a special relationship.
Directed by Casey Patrick Tebo, "Rock For The Rising Sun" combines live performance material with behind-the-scenes footage that shows the nation coping with the destruction.
