The members of Aerosmith have had many strange bedfellows in their 33 years together. They’ve kept company with all manner of drugs and drink, hot rods, women and weapons. There have been oddball sponsors, like Dodge Trucks. And unexpected companions like author Elmore Leonard, who took a liking to the group while writing his Get Shorty sequel Be Cool.
So in the great scheme of things, for Aerosmith, hitting the road with Kiss – which they did during the summer in the US for a tour both bands expect to last into 2004 – wasn’t a totally unlikely confederation.
