Aerosmith dubbed “mtvICON,” Ki
Rock, others to cover band’s hits
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sure, there are
Grammys and a spot in the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame. There are MTV’s Video
Music Awards and platinum albums, too.
But Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler said the ulti
mate accolade comes when well-known
artists cover the songs that made his band a
household name.
“We’ve had people cover our stuff for
years. You can go into a lot of bars and hear
it. That’s an honor in itself. But then when
you hear Kid Rock or Run-DMC or some
body else perform your songs, it brings it to
a whole new level,” Tyler told The
Associated Press.
Now Tyler and his bandmates get to see it
Firsthand when they are honored on
“mtvICON,” a star-studded cover-song
salute. It airs Wednesday at 9 p.m. on MTV.
Among those taking the stage to perform
versions of Aerosmith’s music: Kid Rock,
Pink, Train, Papa Roach, Shakira and Nas.
Aerosmith will perform.
The show includes testimonials from Mila
Kunis of “That ’70s Show” and Alicia
Silverstone, who have appeared in
Aerosmith videos, as well as Janet Jackson,
who was the subject of the first “mtvICON”
special a year ago.
Aerosmith, with its 32 music videos, was
a natural choice for the honor, said Brian
Graden, MTV’s president for programming.
“They were one of the first to play in other
genres. They embraced the infusion of rap
and rock, and they have continued to work
with other artists” he said. “They really
have become generational icons.”
Guitarist Joe Perry shrugged off the icon
status.
“You stick around long enough and you get
noticed,” he joked. “It’s fun. It’s another
adventure for us. That’s why we’re doing it.”
He and Tyler formed Aerosmith in 1970.
They became the U.S. answer to British
invasion bands like the Rolling Stones and
The Who, with hits like “Dream On.”
But along with success came alcohol, drugs
and infighting that caused the band to split.
A sobered-up band reunited in the mid-
1980s. They teamed with rappers Run-DMC
for a remix of Aerosmith’s signature song
“Walk This Way.” The success continued in
the ’90s. They won Grammys and hit the top
of the singles charts for the first time with “1
Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” (the love
theme for the movie Armageddon).
In preparation for “mtvICON,” which
includes Aerosmith interviews, the band
members admitted to reflecting on their
careers.
Tyler said one night recently before he
went to bed he compiled a list of the band’s
ups and downs.
“Aerosmith has been eaten, beaten, cheat
ed, ignored. We’ve been loved, hated, cen
sored, quoted, banned, scanned, honored,
offered, rewarded and reported. We’ve been
seen, heard, read, near dead. So where do we
see Aerosmith going?” he read from the list.
The answer, he said: “Wherever the road
doesn’t take us, that’s where we’ll be
After three decades, Perry said h;
come to recognize that his association]
the band is “about the journey and H
the most out of it.”
"As long as 1 still get goose bumpsplJ
and watching Steven hit those high noi
know I’m doing OK,” he said.
For bassist Tom Hamilton, the sho»l
brought the band full circle I
beginnings.
"All these things that were suppose:]
replace us have come and gone - (
punk, new- wave. It’s all gone and weie{
lingering,” he said.
It is that staying power that hasthea
tion of many performing in the show.
“If there’s anybody to look up to fori
it's them. They are one of the o
bands left from the ’70s,” said Papa Ro!
guitarist Jerry Horton. “They ares
it and doing it well. We definitely are sc
for that kind of longevity in our careers
Shakira said she admired not
band’s longevity but its generationalfantJ
"So many people —children, olderpe::|
— know who they are,” she said.
Horton, whose band performs “S»I
Emotion” during the tribute, admitted tel

Broadway hit The Producers has
change of cast, Goodman dismissed
NEW YORK (AP) — Bye Bye Bialystock. Henry Goodman, who
took over last month from Nathan Lane as the rapscallion Max
Bialystock in The Producers, has been let go from the Broadway
musical hit after playing the role for only four weeks.
The show’s more than a dozen producers, including author Mel
Brooks, were mum Monday about Goodman’s dismissal, leaving it
to Susan Stroman, the musical’s director-choreographer, to com
ment on the firing.
“1 have the utmost respect for Henry Goodman,” Stroman said.
“He is a wonderful actor and I would happily work with him again
on another project. Henry has been well received nightly by audi
ences, but the producers have decided to pursue a different quality
for the role.”
Goodman was given notice after the Sunday matinee. The English
actor will be replaced Tuesday by Lane’s understudy. Brad Oscar,
who portrays Nazi playwright Franz Liebkind in the show.
Goodman joined the musical March 19 along with Steven Weber,
who followed Lane’s co-star, Matthew Broderick. Weber, who plays
Leo Bloom, will remain in the production.
The Producers is based on Brooks’ 1968 movie about a pair of con
artists who overfinance a Broadway musical in the hopes of pro
ducing a flop. Of course, the show is a hit —just as big a smash as
the stage version of The Producers, which has been a steady sellout
since opening last April at the St. James Theatre.
