is so we can go on stage.

You know what? Fuel is what Fuel is, the X's are what the X's are. John used to band Banana Fish Zero had a lot of songs, too. But that's what that was, and that's where it's going to stay. So we're not doing any Banana Fish songs or Fuel songs, or any of the stuff that Chris and Mike have done in the past. We're doing the X'sthat's what it's all about.

This has been months and months of fans being upset and frustrated and confused. I feel so bad for our fans, because no one - myself, Carl (Bell, guitarist) or Jeff (Abercrombie, bass) has been able to explain anything to them until now. Now we can actually say things and let them know what's going on. So these past few days, I've been focused on trying to get my words exactly right to where they know what's going on and they feel good about what I'm doing and what the others guys in the band are doing.

The exposure will be great and plus -- it's Aerosmith! ... They're legends. It's going to be really cool. I mean, how cool would it be to be on a first-name basis with Steven Tyler?
