When Steven Tyler is one stage, he’s kind of a larger than life figure with his big hair and layers of flowing scarves and unique style, but he says when he’s just walking around in his everyday life, he doesn’t necessarily dress like rock star Steven, although he jokes, “I’m not your stereotypical Steven Tyler. Wait, hold on, yes I am. So, it’s kind a hard for me to lose my swagger when I’m out and about. I don’t obviously dress as I do on stage, because that’s like my superhero look, but I don’t hide because I’m not embarrassed. I’m very grateful for everything I’ve ever gotten.”
The reality is, when you have such a distinct look as Steven does, it’s hard not to look like yourself all the time, which he says sometimes makes it hard to go out in public and not be recognized. But he enjoys meeting people in everyday situations because he says, “People say, ‘Wow, you’re nicer that I thought,’ ‘cause they have this image of the scarves and microphone, and the clothes of that guy on stage that’s grimacing and growling and screaming, dream on, but I’m not far from that guy, I like to stay true.”
Steven is currently working on his debut country album for Dot Records, which will feature his latest single, “Love Is Your Name.”

Steven Tyler – dress in public :46
“Well, I’m not your stereotypical Steven Tyler. Wait, hold on, yes I am. So, it’s kind a hard for me to lose my swagger when I’m out and about. I don’t obviously dress as I do on stage, because that’s like my superhero look, but I don’t hide because I’m not embarrassed. I’m very grateful for everything I’ve ever gotten, and unfortunately, the me that’s me is me when you see me. A little hard to go out in public, but I’m kinda sorta the same guy. If anything, people say, ‘Wow, you’re nicer that I thought,’ ‘cause they have this image of the scarves and microphone, and the clothes of that guy on stage that’s grimacing and growling and screaming, dream on, but I’m not far from that guy, I like to stay true.”
