Acoustic Storm

AEROSMITH: The Wait Ends Wednesday

"Legendary Child," the first new song from Aerosmith in six years, will hit the airwaves on Wednesday. It's the first single from their new unnamed album due for release in the fall. However, the song is not that new, as it was written in 1992 during the sessions for their Get a Grip album. A video was recently filmed in Los Angeles and will be out shortly, and the song will be featured in GI Joe: Retaliation, in theaters June 29th.

The last time Aerosmith released new music was in 2006 when they included "Sedona Sunrise" and "Devil's Got a New Disguise" on Devil's Got a New Disguise: The Very Best of Aerosmith. Their last album of original material was 2001's Just Push Play.

JOURNEY: Don't Stop Believin'

If you've ever wanted to become a reality TV star, you need to listen to Journey guitarist Neal Schon. Though he's never been a reality TV star, dating former Real Housewives of D.C. star Michaele Salahi apparently gives him the expertise to dole out advice. Neal and Michaele will be on hand for the How to Be a Reality Star event in El Paso, Texas on June 23rd.

Also giving tips will be Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley from The Real Housewives of Orange County, and Johnny Bananas and Kenny "Mr. Beautiful" Santucci from MTV's Real World Challenge.

And Journey wonders why Steve Perry refuses to re-join the band.

BEATLES: "Reverse" Abbey Road Photo Being Auctioned

This one shows the Fab Four walking right-to-left -- and all four, including Paul McCartney -- wearing some kind of shoes (Paul's in sandals). The order this time: (left-to-right) John Lennon, followed by Paul, Ringo and George. And McCartney's no longer seen holding a cigarette.

The one being sold was one of six shot by Ian MacMillan in a 10-minute session on August 8th, 1969. One of 25 prints from the original negative, the sale is being handled by Bloomsbury Auctions.
