Steven Tyler, 60, famous musician and songwriter opens up and tells ELE about his life so far. Can you imagine when he had his first sexual experience? At the age of seven! Yes you heard it correct, he shares this and many more facts during his interview with Elle and here we have a snippet.
ELLE: Over the years, your relationship with Aerosmith's guitarist Joe Perry has been more contentious than many bad marriages, but you still play together. How do you manage that relationship?
ST: There's that famous saying, "This thing is bigger than both of us." Some guys will have terrible feelings about an ex-wife they had a child with, but after giving birth to something so beautiful, how can you hate that person? We've given birth to those songs.
ELLE: You wrote the pointed lyrics of "Sweet Emotion"-"You talk about things that nobody cares/ You're wearing out things that nobody wears"-about Joe's then-wife Elyssa. Why?
ST: I was pissed off. We had all been living in a house and writing many great songs together, and then he moved in with her. Suddenly, I only saw him at rehearsals. I'd lost my guitar player.
ELLE: In Walk This Way, the oral history of Aerosmith, the band's engineer, Rabbit Hansen, said that band members weren't to accept oral sex for the last 10 days of tour so as not to spread venereal diseases to girlfriends at home.
ST: That wasn't the band's rule. You didn't have sex for 10 days at the end of tour, but that was so you'd be sure to go home with a full cup of chowder. If you didn't, you were definitely suspect.
ELLE: In the '70s, you once told an interviewer, "I'll tell you what's fun-finding the right stewardess and turning her upside down in the back of a plane." Did this actually happen? I mean, aren't flight attendants too busy to be nailing passengers?
ST: Are you kidding? They would tell me, "I'll meet you in the bathroom in 10 minutes."
ELLE: Tell me a story of public humiliation that involves a woman.
ST: I can't really think about anything other than things I really don't want to talk about-like divorces, or my girlfriend, Erin, getting in a fight in a club defending my honor, and then people saying she got me on drugs, which is the furthest thing from the truth. That's the press for you.
ELLE: How exactly did your girlfriend defend your honor?
ST: A girl was sitting on my lap too long, and my girlfriend just threw her off. It turned into a brawl.
ELLE: But the question remains: Why was this girl sitting in your lap for so long?
ST: That might have been my fault.
So, what do you think after reading this interview? Steven is a great womanizer. Check out his pictures. Now when he turns 60, hope his perception towards women changes. But I think, I am opting against hope.
