Drummer Joey Kramer got to accept the MusiCares Person of the Year award with the rest of Aerosmith Friday night, but he wasn't allowed to play with them. 

Joey was with the rest of the band when they accepted the MusiCares Person of the Year Award Friday night . . . and he even got to speak.

Tyler even kept a hand on Kramer's shoulder as he spoke.

But that was about all Joey got.  He STILL wasn't allowed to join the band as they played "Big Ten Inch""Sweet Emotion", and "Dream On".

Or when they were joined by Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp, from Joe Perry's side band The Hollywood Vampires, for the song "Train Kept A-Rollin'".

When it was over, Tyler gave Joey a shout-out, saying, quote, "Joe Kramer where are you?  We love you, man."

But they didn't love him enough to let him onstage at the "Grammys" last night, when they played "Walk This Way" with RUN D.M.C.

Kramer took several months off due to injury, and when he was ready to rejoin, the rest of the guys made him audition.  And he FAILED.  He actually sued Aerosmith to force them to let him play this weekend, but he lost.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
