You know, I look at their pictures now and think to myself, How much sweeter does it get? And isn't it crazy that my ex-wife Teresa was a twin and my girlfriend now is a twin?
In , the original members of Aerosmith convened for a reunion tour after a few years of inactivity. The guys were reportedly all so high and drunk during rehearsal they had trouble remembering how to play their own songs. One night, the band was hanging out at a famous Boston DJ's apartment while he spun records for them. Over the music, Tyler said "Hey! We should cover it. Who is it? In a piece on Aerosmith 's fall from grace and triumphant comeback published in Rolling Stone in , Tyler spoke of worrying noted drug aficionado Jerry Garcia with the amount of illicit materials he and his bandmates consumed.
Steven Tyler's sexcapades are just as well-documented as his drug abuse. However, the frontman said in an interview with Rolling Stone he regretted all the women he missed out on because of his coke habit.
I'm still bummed that I didn't get all the pussy I could have had in the '70s. We were more interested in the finer blends of cocaine from a shipment of dates that came in on the back of some camel with the stamp of a half-moon on it and the star of Lebanon, which by the way was laced with opium.
We were real connoisseurs. That was much more important to me than some girl Steven Tyler's severe abuse of narcotics is well-documented. I might have done a bit more than others, but I have a problem with that. Despite Tyler's battle with drugs and alcohol, all the stints in rehab, and losses he's suffered, he still said many of the band's accomplishments wouldn't have been possible without coke fueling them.
During a interview with Howard Stern , Tyler said:. Drugs took me down. Yes, it got us through the '70s, if it wasn't for Peruvian marching powder, we wouldn't have been able to do what we did. From the '70s to '79, we played every state except Alaska and Hawaii. In , as the members of Aerosmith were at the nadir of their collective downward spiral, Steven Tyler saw This Is Spinal Tap in theaters and was stunned to see so much of himself in the film.
As he told Rolling Stone in I was real high at the time, and Aerosmith was sinking — we were like a boat going down. And that movie was way too close, way too real. Our last album was Rock in a Hard Place , which sold, like, maybe ten copies; Spinal Tap did Stonehenge , and our album cover looked exactly like that.
I freaked. I took Spinal Tap real personal. Thankfully, Rolling Stone scribe David Wild was on hand to contextualize Tyler's musing for readers:. Aerosmith had become a virtual parody of itself. Tyler's ex-girlfriend, former Playboy centerfold Bebe Buell, didn't introduce daughter Liv to her father, Steven, until she was Buell was so disturbed by Tyler's drug and alcohol abuse, she avoided telling Liv her father's identity. When Steven got clean in the late '80s and Aerosmith made a successful comeback with Walk This Way , Buell decided to introduce her daughter to him.
Before meeting her father, Liv's surname was Rundgren. After meeting her dad, she changed it Tyler and launched her acting career. Her first paying gig was Aerosmith's video for "Crazy," in which she appears alongside Alicia Silverstone.
Liv went on to star in Empire Records , Armageddon , and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, among other things. Speaking with The Guardian on his relationship with Liv, Steven said:. That's the good news. Kelly [one of the Aerosmith entourage] always made sure the girls were in the shower when I got in the room. I liked my pulchritude pristine! I can't kiss a girl that's been stage diving with other guys. On being half male, half female: I've been misquoted as saying that I'm more female than male.
Let me set the record straight -- it's more half and half, and I love the fact that my feelings are akin to puella eternis Latin for "the eternal girl". What better to be like than the stronger of the species? On how Aerosmith did cocaine: One of the things we always put in our riders was that the promoter had to provide in the dressing room a full-length, 6-foot-long mirror.
I would take the local promoter's rep into the dressing room and he'd say, "Well, there's the 6-foot mirror you requested, Steven. On gay sex: Gay sex just doesn't do it for me. Outrageous outfits, crazy stage antics and whatnot, Tyler knows how to tickle the funny bone. The band is currently on a break from their Las Vegas residency, as they have just concluded the first leg of the extensive string of shows. Tyler is known for being very active on his social media accounts, especially Twitter and Instagram.
In one recent post on his Twitter account, Tyler plays with his mic stand, with a comic innuendo for a caption. In another Twitter post, Tyler shows off his adrenaline-junkie side as he boards the cockpit of a F fighter jet.
