The tense dynamic between Tyler, Perry, and their once-friendly girlfriends was apparently a leading factor in the gradual decay of Aerosmith, circa 1980. Tyler, apparently much more dedicated to the band, seemed to resent Perry's passive attitude and envied Perry's prioritization of the women in his life. Their relationship is well documented in many of Aerosmith's video releases as well as in the Aerosmith Behind the Music. Tyler and Perry were often called the Toxic Twins, for their legendary intake of stimulants and heroin. However, as the decade wore on, the fast-paced life of touring, recording, living together, and using drugs began to take its toll on the band. Aerosmith's first five albums have also all gone multi-platinum, and Toys in the Attic and Rocks are considered to be among the greatest hard rock albums of all time. These albums produced legendary hits like "Dream On", "Walk This Way", and "Sweet Emotion". It was followed by Get Your Wings, Toys in the Attic, Rocks, and Draw the Line, which catapulted Aerosmith to international fame and recognition. They subsequently signed a record deal in 1972 and released their eponymous debut album in 1973. Later, they added a second guitarist, Tyler's childhood friend Ray Tabano (who was quickly replaced by Brad Whitford), and drummer Joey Kramer.Īfter spending time on the Boston club circuit, under the tutelage of their first manager, Frank Connelly, the band began working with New York managers Steve Leber and David Krebs. In 1970, they met again in Boston and formed Aerosmith with bassist Tom Hamilton. In 1969, Tyler met a guitarist named Joe Perry in Sunapee, New Hampshire. He has residences in Marshfield MA and Lake Sunapee NH.
Tyler spent time in the summers of his youth in the NH lakes region where he met his future bandmates. Steven Tyler also took a liking to blues and in the 1960s, he was a drummer and singer in a variety of local rock and roll bands including The Strangeurs/Chain Reaction, The Chain, and William Proud. His father taught music at Cardinal Spellman High School in the Bronx for many years.
Music has always played a large role in Tyler's life as he was the son of a classical musician who helmed the Vic Tallarico Orchestra.

Before working as a professional musician, Tyler says he worked several odd jobs, including a stint at a bakery. He was expelled from Roosevelt for drug use and later graduated from Jose Quintano's School for Young Professionals. His family later moved to Yonkers, NY, where he attended Roosevelt High School. Tyler was born in New York, NY on March 26, 1948. His maternal background on the other hand, is Cherokee and Ukrainian. So the band wasn’t that tight, there was talk and there were so many people involved, like I said, lawyers, different managers,” said Perry.Steven Tyler was born Stephen Victor Tallarico: on the paternal side of his family, he is of Italian (his grandfather Giovanni Tallarico was born in Nicotera, Calabria) and German descent. I just knew he had to do something like that, and doing that solo record that he did.

And I remember Steven doing that TV show, I thought that was great. “Over the years, everybody has to bust out and do what they want. Lead singer Steven Tyler’s decision to join American Idol prompted the band to consider moving on.
Things went the way they did, everybody got out of the system what they wanted to, and then we slowly glued back together.” But we also had a shortlist at that point. And he definitely had the pipes so I can see why that idea had been floated. Perry explained the band’s thinking in an interview with Ultimate Classic Rock: “I’m not sure how it got out there, but Sam I know as a really mellow guy, easy to get along with. Now that’s livin’ on the edge.Īt different times, Sammy Hagar was asked to join Aerosmith, Motley Crue, Pantera, Velvet Revolver and The Grateful Dead. According to guitarist Joe Perry, Hagar was on the short list to replace Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler. Crazy as it seems, legendary rocker and tequila connoisseur Sammy Hagar nearly jumped from Van Halen to Aerosmith.
