STEVEN TYLER Says KID ROCK Is 'Just Jealous'

November 5, 2010

AEROSMITH frontman Steven Tyler has responded to Kid Rock after Rock called Tyler's decision to be a judge on "American Idol" "the stupidest thing he's ever done in his life. He's a sacred American institution of rock 'n' roll, and he just threw it all out the window. Just stomped on it and set it on fire."

Rock added: "I think whoever's advising him ... we should bring back the guillotine, or whatever they call that thing. And if it was himself, he needs some serious counseling. I love him to death, but I gotta speak the truth."

On Thursday, at an "Idol" press conference in Los Angeles, Tyler responded to Rock's comments (see video below) by saying, "He's just jealous, he's just jealous. And he's working his new record, so God bless him."

Tyler's move to "Idol" stunned his bandmates in AEROSMITH, who nearly split with the singer last year but regrouped for a tour this past summer. Tyler says he can juggle both.

Rock will release his new record, "Born Free", on November 16.

AEROSMITH drummer Joey Kramer said in a new interview he expects to see a new album from the band "within a year," adding, "My brothers and I are destined to make another record in the next year or so." He said that the album will be "an old-school AEROSMITH record. We're going to do it the old way with the whole band (in the same room) and it should be a good one. We're all anticipating." Kramer said that the band will begin recording over the winter and work around frontman Tyler's schedule on "Idol".
