Veteran rockers Aerosmith and Mötley Crüe are teaming for what's sure to be a raucous fall tour dubbed 'The Route of All Evil.' The North American jaunt kicks off on Sept. 14 in Holmdel, N.J., and runs through Nov. 24 in West Palm Beach, Fla.
Aerosmith racked up the miles over the past year, having been on the road from last October through February. However, the classic-rock icons had to cancel the remaining dates of their Rockin' the Joint tour when frontman Steven Tyler underwent throat surgery in March.

The Crue, like Aerosmith, have been road-doggin' it, spending much of 2005 on their Carnival of Sin tour in support of their latest, 'Red, White & Crue.' The hair-metal vets recently wrapped a two-month North American jaunt.

As for 'Evil,' between Motley Crue's affinity for pyro and Aerosmith's elaborate stage construction, expect nothing less than sensory overload.

So, you can only imagine my JOY over this news. My favorite band, and Motley Crue...together. This should make quite an interesting line-up. Aerosmith can still rock, and Motely has a kick-ass personality too. What I would love to see is a drum-off between Tommy Lee and Joey Kramer, perhaps with the two of them in cages. I think that would be interesting. And even though the boys in Motely are younger, Joe Perry can still smoke them, with his electric hands any day. But unlike the Aerosmith/Kiss tour....I do not think this one will be a let-down.

I just hope that Steven Tyler isn't rushing back to the stage too fast after the throat surgary.
