Aerosmith "blown" away by Prince at Grammies Hey, not sure if you want this in NEWS section or just in prince music and more so many apologies if i should have put it there instead!!
Basically every so often Aerosmiths tour manager(?) or something, John B. writes a report for the fans, well this week he wrote about the Grammies as Aerosmith presented Best Rap with BB King. Heres the whole thing and I've put the Prince Ref. in CAPS (if you just want to use that!) Cheers! JB News from the Road 2/19/03 (DMAAT) 2/19/03 Cookin' Grammy Style! I'm going to pick up where I left off last week. After landing at LAX, Joe and his son Tony headed straight to the hotel for a shower and a quick bite to eat. Steven was already at the hotel. At about 3:00 PM everyone left for the Green carpet at the Staples Center. The carpet was green this year because it was sponsored by Heineken. I did not find any free samples to my chagrin. All I could find was H2O and RC Cola. RC Cola? Who drinks that stuff? I had about 8 of them through the course of the night, however. I digress. BB King heard that the twins of toxic were about 5 minutes away so he waited for them. He wanted to walk the carpet with Steven and Joe. They love BB and you could tell he was well schooled in Aerosmith. After about an hour of pressing the flesh the guys were ready to go inside, but not after Joe cornered Carson and the guys from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Joe asked Carson "How am I doing? Joe opened his coat and leaned on his cane. Great! Quipped Carson. "Don't change a thing." Joe gave him a rare smile and continued inside. The guys headed for David Wild and the teleprompter room to go over their lines with BB King. David Wild in case you don't know is one of the most respected journalists in the business. He has forgot more than I will ever know about rock music or music in general. Steven and Joe rewrote their lines to fit them and BB looked on in amazement. After that they went to their dressing room and watched the beginning of the show. TO SAY PRINCE BLEW THEM AWAY IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. Joe and Steven then headed for the stage to present their award for Hip Hop Rap Album. On the way Joe said hello to Jack and Meg from the White Stripes. Tony is a huge Stripes fan and I'm sure was bummed not to accompany his father to the stage. After the award Steven joined his family in the seats to enjoy the show. Joe did a quick spin around the press tent before catching the last half of the show. I'm sure the whole band will be there next year when "Honkin' on Bobo" is eligible for a few victrolla's of its' own. After the show Steven went to a few of the industry parties and Joe headed for the red eye to NYC to be on the show "Cooking with Emeril." It was taping at 3:00 PM the next day so it didn't leave much time for sight seeing. In the lounge at the airport Joe and Tony got to see the West coast feed of the show live. People were looking at the monitor, then looking at Joe and wondering what the hell was going on. As we boarded the plane and started to settle in our seats, Tony gave me a tug and said "Hey that's Sarah Jessica Parker next to you, Go say something." What the f*%k am I going to say to her. Hey Jess, I love your show. She must hear that 100 times a day. She seemed nice and signed some autographs for the crew. Then it was lights out. Next thing I knew we were landing at Kennedy and SJP bolted like she was shot out of a cannon. I then thought of a witty line to say to her, but it was to late. She had disappeared in a sea of New Yawkers before I could get my carry on out of the overhead bin that shifted in flight. After getting to the hotel 2 hours later because of rush hour traffic, it was time for a quick catnap before heading over to Emeril. We arrived at the studio and Joe got acquainted with the band. He went over a few songs and it was show time. What a blast! He made a bunch of dishes with Joe's Boneyard Brew and kept Joe in stitches the entire show. He even helped him with one of Emeril's creations. After the show Joe took a tour of the studio's kitchen, which must employ 40 people or more to make the show a huge success that it is. He gave out 200 bottles of hot sauce to the entire audience. The show should air the last week in May. The 5 guys got together the next day to put the finishing touches on "Honkin' on Bobo." It is slated for a March 30 release as you know and it will be so fresh that your cottage cheese in your fridge won't even go bad by then. Although I've heard "Bobo" many times, I experience the same frisson when the band hit on all cylinders on the opening chord of "Roadrunner." Brad, Joey and Tom headed to Florida for a little R&R before the guys all get together to rehearse before heading to Lubbock. Brad took in the Daytona 500 and could be spotted in Victory Lane, giving Dale Jr., thumbs up on his win. See you on the Road! John B. Sounds like Aerosmith are fans of Prince, wasn't Steve Tyler spotted at a Prince show lately? | |

Kudos to Steven Tyler for mentioning the grammy awarded offscreen to the Funk Brothers, nobody would have known otherwise. | |

Steve's dance moves in the stage portions of the "Janie's Got a Gun" video always reminded me of Prince's choreography, especially the mic play. | |

moderatorJoe and Steven have mentioned their respect for P several times. P once gave a shout-out to them at the MTVEurope awards (1994, I believe).
There was also a cryptic post on the old Love41another site a few years back, where Prince mentioned doing something with Grath Brooks and Aerosmith at Paisley. What was worked on has never been revealed. Maybe something for the cancelled Chris Gaines movie?
