Joe Perry: Aerosmith Will Perform on 'American Idol' Season Finale | Music News | Rolling Stone - In the fall of 2010, Aerosmith's future was thrown into doubt when news broke that Steven Tyler would become a judge on American Idol. The singer hadn't shared the news with his bandmates yet, even though they were touring at the time, and the fact that Tyler had taken a job that would make him unavailable for a big chunk of the year didn't sit well with the guys. "It's his business, but I don't want Aerosmith's name involved with it," guitarist Joe Perry famously told the Calgary Herald at the time. "It's a reality show designed to get people to watch that station and sell advertising. It's one step above [Teenage Mutant] Ninja Turtles." Two years later, Perry seems to have a whole new attitude. In March, he appeared on Idol to sing "Happy Birthday" to Steven Tyler and even sat down at the judge's table.
