Steven Tyler and American Idol have parted ways permanently but the Aerosmith frontman is happy to explain where it all went wrong.

Apparently Fox pressured him to become the a-hole judge. The scathing Simon cowell fill-in, if you will.

Steven prefers a gentler approach. He revealed:

"The show's about kids and what you do to nurture their talent. They wanted me to take the p**s out of the kids and I don't have that in me. That's not what I'm about. That's more about that other guy [Simon]. Not me."
