"Reactions to Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler&amp;apos;s decision to become an  American Idol judge have definitely been mixed, but not many people have unloaded on Tyler quite as heavily as avowed Aerosmith fan Kid Rock.\r\n&amp;quot;I think it&amp;apos;s the stupidest thing he&amp;apos;s ever done in his life,&amp;quot; Kid told Entertainment Weekly  . &amp;quot;He&amp;apos;s a sacred American institution of rock and roll, and he just threw it all out the window &amp;#x2014; just stomped on it and set it on fire.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;I think whoever&amp;apos;s advising him ... we should bring back the guillotine, or whatever they call that thing,&amp;quot; Rock expanded. &amp;quot;And if it was himself, he needs some serious counseling. I love him to death, but I gotta speak the truth.&amp;quot;\r\nPhotos: Ranking the American Idol Mentors\r\nTyler, along with fellow judges Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson, has already started work on Idol  , although the auditions won&amp;apos;t air until January. Ellen DeGeneres and Kara DioGuardi , of course, left the show earlier this year.\r\n&amp;quot;Was I nervous doing this? You bet your booty,&amp;quot; Tyler said. &amp;quot;Season ten for American Idol is going to be over the top, so it&amp;apos;s hard for us to say &amp;apos;Nope, sorry, you don&amp;apos;t cut it,&amp;apos; because they well up, they cry, they make me cry.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
