But don't be cryin', Aerosmith fans. Tyler is not giving up on rock. He is currently touring with the band, through August.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, published in June, the rocker said he's "sure" his Aerosmith band mates are "not happy" about his county solo effort.

"But Joe [Perry] has done five solo albums. I just thought, 'Hey, it's my turn in the barrel,'" he said. "This is a side project, which has now turned into a love of life. I think we got something here that the radio would love to play. Look, that's why I'm in it. I love to take the f--king power to wow to the 100th degree. It's just what I do."

This week, Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton responded to Tyler's comments, telling Digital Journal, "It's funny; sometimes he'll talk about how he's been persecuted by the band over the years, but whatever...If it causes drama, let's show that!"

"He wanted to do this creative exercise of going and making an album, and I can't blame him for wanting to do it," he continued. "Joe's done it before, I'd love to do it someday. Why be angry about it?"
