<\/div>\n

Aerosmith<\/a> haven\u2019t even started their Las Vegas Deuces Are Wild<\/em> residency at the Park MGM yet, but they\u2019ve already announced plans to take it on the road.<\/a> In August they\u2019re going to take the show to casinos in National Harbor, Maryland, Atlantic City, New Jersey and Springfield, Massachusetts. (They\u2019re all MGM properties, making it a pretty simple business decision.) Giles Martin (son of Beatles producer George Martin) has joined the creative team for the show and he\u2019ll work with director Amy Tinkham and producer Steve Dixon. The band will play a cross-section of music from their vast catalog, but not much else will be revealed until opening night in April.<\/p>\n

The show is the latest chapter in Aerosmith\u2019s endless saga, which has kept them on the road pretty consistently over the past five decades despite their numerous battles with drugs, alcohol and each other. Amazingly, their classic five-man lineup from their very first album in 1973 is still intact. They did part ways with Joe Perry<\/a> and Brad Whitford for a short time in the early Eighties and other members have had to step aside for brief stints since then to deal with health problems, but the original quintet always manages to regroup in short order. Joe Perry collapsed backstage<\/a> at a Billy Joel concert late last year and was rushed to a hospital, but he was back on his feet and playing his heart out when Aerosmith performed at a Super Bowl event on February 1st. To steal a Keith Richards joke from Wayne\u2019s World 2<\/em>, these guys cannot be killed by conventional weapons.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve also had more acts than virtually any other rock group in history. Here\u2019s video of them playing \u201cMama Kin\u201d at Woodstock<\/a> \u201994. They were left for dead just a decade earlier and even the return of Joe Perry didn\u2019t help them sell many a copies of 1985\u2019s Done With Mirrors.<\/em> But the next year, they re-recorded \u201cWalk This Way\u201d with Run-DMC<\/a> and then suddenly every teenager in America became aware of their music. They rode that momentum into the studio and (with the help of songwriting pros) started landing major hits back onto the charts like \u201cAngel,\u201d \u201cRag Doll\u201d and \u201cDude (Looks Like a Lady).\u201d By the time that Woodstock \u201994 rolled around, they were more popular than they\u2019d ever been despite being 20 years older than all the other bands on MTV.<\/p>\n

There were whispers of an Aerosmith farewell tour a couple of years ago, but they seem to have decided against that for now. Steven Tyler<\/a> tried his hand at a country record in 2017, but it was a commercial disappointment and he seems to have gotten it out of his system. It also briefly distracted him from Aerosmith, which the universe simply wouldn\u2019t accept. That\u2019s because no matter what else happens in the world, it\u2019s an absolute, unbreakable law that Aerosmith must continue.<\/p>\n
