STEVEN TYLER Helped Get GUNS N’ ROSES Back Together

Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler was a guest Howard Stern’s show on SiriusXM radio and said he was one of the people who tried to get Axl Rose to reunite Guns N’ Roses. 

"I'm sure I'm not solely, but I did meet Axl in a couple of clubs a year ago and two years ago and three years ago. I bumped into him, and I had that talk… I said, 'You need to get fucking back together again soon, because we all miss you.' Same thing someone said to me when Joe (Perry, Aerosmith guitarit) and I were fighting. 'You've gotta get back together. What are you, crazy?' In fact, it was Jon Bon Jovi. I'm in rehab. He calls me up and goes, 'What the fuck are you in rehab? The world needs you. We're out here ripping it up, and everybody's asking for Aerosmith. You need to get out of here, because people in the world need you’”, said Tyler.

He went on to say, "So I'd say to Axl, 'You've gotta get together. There's a place and time where if you don't, you're gonna miss it.' And in another four or five years, no one's gonna even know who they were or care if they're on tour, and that's Steven Tyler's opinion. And also, I'm the lead singer of another great band, so I have a right to feel that way. I have such a huge ego about keeping the fire and the music together. Because if people come up to me and say, 'Dude, I got laid to your music,' or a woman comes up to me and says, 'We got married to your songs.' You had something to do with the fabric of people. Guns N’ Roses had something to do with the fabric of humans on this planet, so I get fucking pissed."

On whether he thinks the reunion will last, Tyler said: “The point is they’re talking to each other. They got an offer for something, and at least they’re going out. I think the world needs to hear their music. End of story.”

Guns N’ Roses will headline Coachella and will play two shows at the new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on April 8 and 9.
