Aerosmith are an astonishing tale. They really are. Through drugs, women and one of the most average back catalogues in rock history, they’ve managed to become superstars simply by surviving.
And up-top, there’s wobbling sofa-bed lipped Steven Tyler, poncing around like royalty, determined to be louder than his bandmates who have had to put up with him since some time in the ’70s.
However, Aerosmith hate each other’s guts at the moment so Steven is making music with someone else. Another deity from rock’s pantheon? No. Johnny ‘the actor’ Depp. That’s right kids! Tyler and Depp are making awful music together and Tyler likes mentioning it, just on the off-chance it grinds the gears of Joe Perry & Co. Which it will. Because they’re all wrinkly children with failing livers.
The American Idol judge (no, we still can’t quite believe it either) has been holding up a pointless feud with those that helped him to get where he is today, and so, has swanned off to find someone else to play with.
And now, essentially saying “BOO YAA SUCKS TO BE YOU”, Tyler told the Today show that he and Depp regularly meet up to write dreadful music together.
Steven says:
“I get to write songs with Johnny Depp. I would have never done that being home (in Boston). He plays music and I call him (and say), ?I'm coming over, we're going to write a song together?. He's like, ?Yeah, come over .?.?. tell me if I'm playing ?Seasons of Wither? right?”
They probably do each other’s hair and make-up too.
Of course, Depp has previous. He’s played on a charity track with Oasis (the awful ‘Fade Away’ on the Help! LP in the ’90s) and was in the band, P.
You can hear them covering Abba’s ‘Dancing Queen’ (cue Depp fans giving it credence that they wouldn’t give a Deppless outfit) while mopping the blood from your ears.

Gosh that’s dreadful–Depp wasn’t serious when he sang this was he?
Tyler? He’s looks like my elderly aunt–over accessorized and aging badly.He’s lost any credibility he might have ever had due of his behavior on American Idol.
Allison says
I love Johnny Depp, but Jesus wept that is horrible! I think I can actually hear him weeping now, begging for the song to end.
JOJO says
First of all Aerosmith is not Aerosmith without Steven Tyler! He is Aerosmith !!!! And don’t you just love it when the writers don’t put a picture of them self and put their names on what they write. I think Johnny and Steven are great and thats my opinion!! Heres my name Mary Jo Hodges (JOJO).
Maha says
Lol, this is like children’s spat in kindergarten. Also, in another article Tyler said he called Depp himself, now it’s Depp calling him. Whatever.
Trashy title, and I hardly believe Depp’s doing much in the music portion of entertainment industry. His slide guitar-ing was wicked in the Oasis song, though.
Soleil says
Wow. ‘m really impressed by this “journalism.” Clearly your not letting your opinion get in the way of reporting the latest in celebrity news. By the way? That’s not Depp singing. I’ve heard him sing, in the Golden Globe winning Sweeney Todd. He’s much better than whoever the hell that was. Get your facts right at least. You’ve clearly got no problem blatting your opinion all over the place.
Cathy says
That’s Gibby Haynes of the Butthole Surfers singing Dancing Queen. Having a “bad” voice is sorta the point. Johnny loves to play guitar, and he was doing it long before he started acting. Maybe he’s no Jeff Beck, but he doesn’t seem to be inflicting his music on the public all that much. So, I dunno, it seems fair to let the guy do something he enjoys once in awhile, no?
Rock says
Aerosmith is one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Period. And it’s true that there is no Aerosmith without Steven Tyler. I think Steven is around 63 for you a s s h o le s that are saying he looks like an elderly woman. One day you will be there as well, if you are able to survive as he has. Props to JOJO. Love your comment. And great work by Soleil and Cathy for providing accurate reporting instead of this biased piece of garbage typed by mof gimmers who is clearly a spoiled little silver spooned child with no life experience. I truly despise individuals like the one that created this pitiful dribble.

Steven Tyler is iconic, sexy, sweet, super talented and who in the world cares if someone thinks he looks like someone’s aunt and chooses to diss the way he dresses? Steven is Steven and has always had the long hair and the over the top stylish flair. I’m a little older than Steven and still smart, sassy and can even pull off sexy. Just sayin’……………… let’s just celebrate that he’s alive and living a happy life these days.
