The
first sign that Aerosmith were back as a creative force and writing
new material came during this year's American
Idol finale
in May, where singer Steven Tyler signed off as a judge by joining
the band to perform "Legendary Child," their first new song
in eight years. With the big rock guitars of Joe Perry and Brad
Whitford behind him, Tyler barked and wailed just like the old days,
and even quoted from 1975's "Walk This Way," remembering
when "I took a chance at a high school dance . . . " The
lyrics go on to describe the life since, and "That same show/ 40
years ago /is being televised tonight."
