Aerosmith's Steve Tyler 'blew $20m on drugs'

Aerosmith's Steve Tyler 'blew $20m on drugs'
May 2, 2011 - telegraph.co.uk

The Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler spent $20million (£14m) on drugs, he disclosed, leaving himself almost penniless from spending so much money on cocaine and heroin.

Tyler, who is one of the judges on the US talent show American Idol, said drugs were such a big part of his life that he took them on stage while he was performing with Aerosmith.

Tyler, now 62 and the father of the actress Liv Tyler, went into rehab several times and admits that he is lucky to be alive considering his drug and alcohol abuse in his autobiography to be released this week.

He said: "I blew 20 million. I snorted my Porsche, I snorted my plane, I snorted my house in that din of drugs and booze and being lost.

"I kept my medicine cabinet on stage, in a fourteen-inch drum head, the bottom of which contained... one Dixie cup with a straw and blow in it and the other with Coca-Cola and Jack Daniels in it.

"Left to my own devices I probably would have been dead several times over," Tyler admitted to People magazine.

No amount of heroin could make Aerosmith sound good

And wow, that's funny... he's still alive at 62.

I thought cocaine and heroin made your heart explode and your brain melt the first time you used any tiny amount of either.

A musician on drugs?  No way. :lol:  20 mil worth of coke and H..pretty sure I'd be completely ruined after a mere 20 grand worth.

Yeah... how does someone spend 20 million on drugs?

Was it maybe... 20 million on drugs for himself and lavishly showering cocaine and heroin on everyone around him who wanted some?

Sorry, I was just listening to some tool, and the "drugs = better artistry" connection was too amusingly apparent.

It is sad that SOME musicians seem to become talentless hacks when they get clean. On the other hand, I don't think that's an absolute rule.

Wow, great conversation out of a meaningless post.
I'm over 40 and have watched my share of musicians go through the drug/clean experience.
It would seem to me that it depends solely on the musician.
For instance:
Some of Garcia's best and worst work was done in the depths of a binge of some sort or another. On the same hand, some of his best work was done while he was supposedly clean or straight.
There is no denying that he could (if in the right space) rock the listeners world in either place.

Eric Clapton: Just changed rock and roll with his playing while doing all kinds of drugs.
Got clean and still rocks. And although I don't like everything that he has offered since he cleaned up his act; I didn't like everything that he offered while he was high either.

Aerosmith on the other hand:
To me, they took the easy way out. I only like aerosmith music in the last 15 years or so when I am in love with a chick that isn't good for me. IMO, they used to be better. Their playing, singing, production is fine but their song choice is sell out for sure.
New aerosmith sucks imo.
Now when Steven Tyler was 20 years old, I was 10.
That may make a difference but to me it's the band that makes the band and not just him.
Whoever sent them in the 'tranny in an elevator' song was bright in that he would make them rich but to me they are pure fail.
Give me the old band without a lead singer who can stay on stage anytime and I will once again support them. As it is fuck them, they sold out.
IMHO you can add Metallica to the same page. Total greedy sellouts. A bunch of money hungry loosers who can't deal with growing up.
Look at bands like AC/DC or Iron Maiden; they still deliver.
MTV ruined aerosmith and letting that douchbag on tv (a show that I will never watch unless I'm forced to) is a sin.
You may have not noticed here but I'm a fan of good music and I tend to be a tad bit opinionated as well. :smile:



Love your neighbor as yourself.
