Joe Perry is continuing to blast his Aerosmith bandmate Steven Tyler over his new "American Idol" gig -- but now, Joe's done dragged the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles into the feud. 
Perry went off on Tyler during an interview with the Calgary Herald -- saying, "It's his business, but I don't want Aerosmith's name involved with [American Idol]. We have nothing to do with it."
Perry added, "[Idol] is a reality show designed to get people to watch that station and sell advertising ... it's one step above Ninja Turtles."
As for the future of the band, Perry once again threatened to replace Tyler -- saying, "[You've got] four guys that are great together, and if you find the right singer, there's no reason you can't go and entertain people."
For the record -- the Ninja Turtles also used to sing ...

Joe Perry hit the nail on the head: "Idol is a reality show designed to get people to watch that station and sell advertising "
So true.
Yet, Steven should call his bluff and drop Aerosmith altogether. They can go on without him. Can they? Afterall, Steven Perry can nudge just about anyone off a stage.
Joe Perry and Steve Tyler are BOTH As*holes! I met them both and they both are arrogant!! They think their sh*t don't stink!!
Just like Van Halen - it was never the same without David Lee Roth..Perry needs to relax. AI and Aerosmith are two different gigs..take some Metamucil and retire already..enjoy the millions you earned with your frontman.Even rock stars today are whinning little girls. Be a rockstar not a little bitch.
The only reason why Idol hired him is because he is basically the male version of Paula and will act high and drunk on the show
Hey. Say what you want about American Idol, but dissing TMNT is stepping over the line, Mr.
Hey Joe Perry...weren't you the guy who played on the Idol finale...season 6...Beatles Sgt. Pepper tribute. He played guitar while Kelly Clarkson sang. Hypocrite much?
I hate Idol and Steven T. has sold out. But Joe P. come on dude....do you think we don't remember this?
Embarrassed does not even come close to what I feel about you.

WHAT?! Idol better than the Turtles???? ….Kowabunga…
How about Turtles judging Idol?…I’d watch that!
Aerosmith is my all time favorite band, but even I'm getting tired of Joe's whining. They haven't put out a new album of original material in nearly 10 years. If Steven wants to do this, let him. Its not like Aerosmith hasn't made a bazillion dollars doing what they do, so stop getting so annoyed that a TV network produces a show in order to make money.
Perry's an idiot. Why insult a great program like TMNT to American Idiot? Comparing the two is like comparing Brahm's to Wierd Al; Einstein to Lindsay Lohan.
Okay, there are greater shows thatn TMNT, but American Idiot is so down there, it's still an insult.
PUT A SOCK IN IT!! JUST RETIRE THE GROUP ALREADY OR FIRE EVERY1. DAMN, DUDES ARE RETIREMENT AGE ANYWAY... 40YRS IS NOTHING TO LAUGH AT AND THEY'VE DONE EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN.
