Veteran rocker Steven Tyler on Tuesday denied that his new role as a judge on ‘American Idol” meant the death of his band Aerosmith, and said he wanted to start work on a much-delayed new album later this month.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“We are just on a break. We are still rocking big time,” Tyler, 62, told television journalists, while promoting the new season of “American Idol”.<\/p>\n

Aerosmith has not recorded a studio album since 2001 and a 2009 feud between Tyler and his bandmates threatened to break up the group known as the “bad boys of Boston”.<\/p>\n

But Tyler said Aerosmith would start working on a new album at the end of January, and had a tour of Japan and South America lined up starting in November 2011.<\/p>\n

“It’s not dead. It couldn’t be dead,” he said of the 40 year-old rock band that has sold more than 150 million albums since forming in 1970.<\/p>\n

It was not clear how Tyler will find time to get back into the recording studio given his commitment to some four months of twice-weekly live TV episodes of “American Idol”, which starts a 10th season on January 19 and runs into May.<\/p>\n

In a separate interview with Rolling Stone last week, Tyler said he was trying to rally the band together but “we’re having trouble getting Joe (Perry). I don’t know where he is.”<\/p>\n

Guitarist Perry has had harsh words for Tyler’s participation in top-rated TV singing contest. In a September interview with Canadian newspaper Calgary Herald, he described “Idol” as “one step above Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles…It’s his business, but I don’t want Aerosmith’s name involved with it.”<\/p>\n
