VIDEOSInside the Relationship Of Steven Tyler & Joe Perry — It Rocks Aerosmith!
June 9 2022, Published 12:05 a.m. ET
Sold-out tours, chart-topping hits and runaway success all mean nothing when you're in a mega-band on the brink of collapse. That seemed to be the case for Aerosmith, whose explosive behind-the-scenes drama will play out in Aerosmith: Breaking the Band, Sunday, June 12, on REELZ.
Tempers flared and arguments broke out between Steven Tyler, Tom Hamilton, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford and Joey Kramer at the height of Aerosmith's fame, especially when it came to frontman Tyler and guitarist Perry.
"Steven and Joe have a chemical reaction with one another, and it's remarkable that it hasn't exploded and killed everyone," says rock music journalist David Wild of the duo.
"You'd never see them together outside of the band environment. They weren't going out to parties together, they weren't going to shows together — so that's not really a friendship, it's a business arrangement," explains former Aerosmith guitarist and founding member Ray Tabano.

Adds Aerosmith road manager Rich Guberti, “It was Steven and Joe with the calamity, and then Tom, Brad and Joey trying to keep the band together and stay professional.”
