At the British Comedy Awards 2004, Caroline Quentin won the "Best Comedy Actress" award for her performance in Von Trapped. He liked names that began with "Aero" and decided that "Aerosmith" was his favorite combination. With her new partner, Caroline had a daughter, Emily, in 1999, and a son, William, in 2003. According to their biography "Walk this Way", drummer Joey Kramer came up with the name in high school when coming up with cool band names.

Her early work included appearing on the stage. Honkin' on Bobo continues to be a success for the resurgeance of blues and roots music across the US and Europe and was followed up by the accompanying live DVD in December 2004. She became known for appearances in Men Behaving Badly, playing Dorothy, and Jonathan Creek, playing Maddy Magellan. Their long-promised blues album, Honkin' on Bobo was released March 30, 2004 on Columbia. Caroline Quentin (born June 11, 1961, in Reigate) is a British actress. The band entered its next decade with 'Just Push Play' in 2001, which charted well. However, Aerosmith's biggest hit of the '90s, and its only #1 single to date, was the love theme from the film Armageddon, I Don't Want to Miss a Thing (conceived by Joe Perry and Diane Warren, although Warren did get songwriting credit).

This was followed by a series of late 1990s albums that sold respectably, but have shown the beginning of a second decline in popularity and critical respect. The reviews were mixed, and Nine Lives fell down the charts quickly. The next album was Nine Lives, and was plagued with personnel problems, including the firing of manager Tim Collins. Aerosmith signed to Columbia Records in the early 1990s, but had to complete two contractual albums for Geffen before recording for the new label.

The true comeback album, however, was Pump, featuring three Top Ten singles in "Janie's Got a Gun", "What It Takes" and "Love in an Elevator". Get a Grip (1993) was just as successful, reestablishing Aerosmith as a serious musical force again. The group's next release was Permanent Vacation (1987), which included "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)", "Rag Doll" and "Angel". By the time the album was released, Tyler and Perry had exited rehab and the group appeared on Run D.M.C.'s massively successful cover of "Walk This Way", blending rock and roll and hip hop, and thereby beginning Aerosmith's comeback. 1985 saw the release of Done With Mirrors, which fared much better than any previous Aerosmith album since the late 1970s.

Tyler collapsed onstage due to drug problems early in tour. A reunion tour was scheduled in 1984 after the return of Perry and Whitford. After replacing the two ex-members first with longtime band friend and songwriter Richie Supa followed by Jimmy Crespo and Rick Dufay, Aerosmith released its mammoth-selling Greatest Hits album in 1980, followed by a relative failure, Rock in a Hard Place. Joe Perry also left the band, followed by Brad Whitford.

Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. While continuing to tour and release a few more albums in the late 1970s, Aerosmith acted in the movie version of Sgt. The next album, Draw the Line, was not as successful as the previous releases. Aerosmith's next album, Rocks, went platinum swiftly and featured two FM hits, "Back in the Saddle" and "Last Child".

Both of the band's previous albums recharted. Part heavy metal, part glam rock and part punk music, Toys in the Attic was an immediate success, starting with the single "Sweet Emotion", then a successful rerelease of "Dream On" and a new song from the album, "Walk This Way". It was 1975's Toys in the Attic that established Aerosmith as international stars. After constant touring, the band released Get Your Wings (1974), which did quite well on the charts.

After some local success doing live shows, Aerosmith signed with Columbia Records in 1972 and issued a debut album, Aerosmith that included a minor hit single, "Dream On". Tyler, who was originally a drummer and singer, became a full-time vocalist when drummer Joey Kramer joined. The original lineup included Steven Tyler (lead vocals), Joe Perry (guitar) and Tom Hamilton (bass guitar), soon adding Ray Tabano as a second guitarist, then replacing him with Brad Whitford (formerly of Earth Inc.). Aerosmith is a long-running hard rock band, originally forming in Boston, Massachusetts in the early 1970s, and enjoying a later resurgence in popularity in the late 1980s and mid-1990s.
