Why isn't aerosmith on iTunes?
The reason Tool doesn't allow iTunes (or any other digital music distributor) to sell their music has little to do with "illegal file sharing" or that they're simply "holding out like Metallica." True, they do put a lot of work into the physical packaging and presentation of their albums, and thus they prefer that consumers get the full artistic experience by purchasing the artwork along with the music. However, that's only half of the reason.
I believe that Tool probably WOULD allow their albums to be sold digitally if iTunes would allow them to sell them ONLY in their entirety... that is, people would NOT be able to download individual tracks. Rumor has it that iTunes has refused to make such accommodations, so the band continues to avoid digital album sales. Not sure if this is really true, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least.
If you know anything about Tool, you recognize their songs are often very lengthy (like 8+ minutes a piece) and frequently blend into one another. They're one of the few bands that truly carries on the tradition of the "concept album," and to enable people to pick and choose individual tracks from any of their albums would be to condone the bastardization of that tradition. Their albums are not simply collections of one-off pop songs. They are much more akin to epic, classical compositions with many different movements that build on, and borrow from one another to form a single cohesive work. They're meant to be experienced as a whole.
This is actually NOT so much the case for Maynard James Keenan's other bands (A Perfect Circle and Puscifer), whose albums ARE available for digital purchase on iTunes etc. I guess maybe because these bands are more song-oriented he felt it wasn't degrading the art to make them available digitally.
Not to mention, Tool have always made a conscious effort to present themselves as something of an enigma. Just listen to any interview they've ever given and it will become obvious that they're not interested in philosophical conversation or revealing much about what truly inspires them. They basically adhere to sarcasm and nonsensical comments. Thus, I wouldn't be surprised if they're boycotting iTunes "just because," so they can inspire people like you to go on the internet and hypothesize about the reasons why.
How did Aerosmith get its name?
The drummer, joey kramer, used to write it all over his binder in high school. He just thought it was a cool word/name. When naming the band, steven tyler(lead vocals) considered calling them the hookers, but the idea was rejected.
Who wrote the lyrics to the Southern Gospel song I'm Living in Canaan Now?
he was inspired one Sunday after church he sat down at the piano and wrote the song . in the 1970s the Goodman s released the song on a record with sheet music listing words and music by the happy Goodman s. The Center family went to court over this because it was C.H. Centers belief That "he worked for a living He sang for the Lord" What God had given him was not to be profited it was to be shared freely. the Goodman s soon published a retraction. C.H.

Did Steve Tyler leave aerosmith?
Steven Tyler did sing for Aerosmith. :) and still does I believe Steven Tyler has been the only vocalist (besides Joe Perry) for Aerosmith. There have been other guitarists, but no other vocalists.
Aerosmith broke up in 1979 literally because of spilt-milk. Joe Perry's then-wife Elyssa threw a glass of milk at Tom's wife Terry while Aerosmith was on stage. When the concert was over and Aero came back from the stage, Joe and Steven had a huge fight, Steven defending Terry and Joe defending Elyssa. After the fight Joe quit Aerosmith and formed the Joe Perry Project, while Aerosmith continued with new guitairst, Jimmy Crespo. Aerosmith then continued their tour in support of their new album "Night In The Ruts" and started recording their new album "Rock In A Hard Place". Soon after the beginning of the sessions for Hard Place, Rhythm Guitarist, Brad Whitford left because he couldn't take Steven's intense drug habit anymore. After he left Aerosmith, Brad teamed up with ex-Ted Nugent vocalist, Derek St. Holmes, and made an album simply titled "Whitford/ St. Holmes". While this was happening, the Aerosmith camp (now with Rock Dufay on rhythm guitar) was struggling with Steven to come up with lyrics for Hard Place and ended up realeasing a major flop album. While Aerosmith was soon to be dropped from the label, Joe was having horrible luck with his solo career and Brad left Derek. After Brad left Derek, Brad joined the Joe Perry Project and this was one step closer to the return of Aerosmith. While Joe Perry was filming the video for his new single "Black Velvet Pants" he met his now-wife Billie Montgomery. After a Valentines Day show in Worcester, Joe and Brad both re-joined the band and thus the return of dirty, sleazy rock N roll. After this Aerosmith has 10 more albums, have been inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame and has been on countless tours

yes
It must also be noted that the original band Styx split up....Tommy Shaw took the name Styx and went his way after adding Gowan as the lead singer.... and Dennis Deyoung, the architect behind the diversity of the band went his way and tours under the name "Dennis Deyoung and the Music of Styx. I hear both halves are amazing and I know Dennis's side certainly is for a fact.
