In a lengthy interview with Britt Rock Magazine Classic Rock, Joe Perry continued to mystify the world of rock ‘n’ roll with his bizarre list of singers who he says could possibly replace Steven Tyler at the helm of Aerosmith. The latest victim is 69 year old Tom Jones. Said (yawn)The Perry:
He’s got a great set of pipes, so why not? I’ve played with him before, and know he could bring something extra to the band. We haven’t approached him yet, but if he were interested that would be great. Imagine the interest Tom would generate.
Last weeks Aerosmith rumor mill also included the horrifying notion that Sammy Hagarmight step in while Tyler is on hiatus. As if we all didn’t suffer enough with over a decade of Van Hagar. Oi!
The latest issue of Classic Rock, The Last Days of an American Rock Legend featuring Joe Perry on the cover, is out now.

The folks behind the Chelsea I Want My Flannel Back blog have one goal. To get your stuff back from an ex who decided after you broke up it was just easier to keep that old record player that once belonged to your Mom or, your favorite t-shirt. Or in my case, a set of the original KISS 12′ action figures from 1987. The last time I saw Gene, he still had the plastic wrap on his head.
Anyway, if you want your stuff back, submit your plea to Chelsea I Want My Flannel Back. And maybe you’ll get your stuff back. Maybe…

Misspelled, poorly translated Latin tattoo’s are forever…
This tattoo was supposed to be the Latin translation of Samuel L. Jackson’s famous Pulp Fiction“Ezekiel 25:15″ speech just before he blows a bunch of holes in Brett. The translation not only includes English text (the word “of” appears twice) but, it also contains a couple of typos due to the fact that owner probably plugged the quote into an online translation service then happily went off to see the first tattoo artist he could find. Nice job, Johnny.
Nick Cave, Ramblin’ Mind. From the new Jeffrey Lee Pierce tribute record, We Are Only Riders.
Nick Cave’s moving cover of Jeffrey Lee Pierce’sRamblin’ Mind can be found on the new tribute record for former Gun Club vocalist, We Are Only Riders. Fittingly, Pierce’s original guitar track for Ramblin’ Mind croons along with Cave’s mournful drawl on the completely stellar cover. Cave also collaborated with Debbie Harry on the track, Free To Walk.
How Mickey managed to match his gold cowboy pimp chains to his hat is a mystery to me. With that said, I’d still hit it with a riding crop. And blindfolds. Anyway, here’s Mickey Rourke giving the paps the 2 am “what’s your number ’cause I lost mine” side-eye at the Golden Globes last weekend.
