Fade In - a US-based national movie magazine - spoke with AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry about the classic BEATLES movie A Hard Day's Night which was released in 1964. Says Joe: "I was always an outsider. I never really fit in. I was the guy standing against the wall at every school dance. But when I saw this movie in 1963-64, and saw the camaraderie these guys had as a band, it made me want to pursue music. I was going to be a marine biologist. I love the ocean. I didn't snorkel, but had always loved [Jacques] Cousteau and thought maybe I could be a part of that. But I was also intrigued by the guitar. And I ended up being in a band with all of my friends. There're a lot of films I love, but I wouldn't have followed the course that I did if I hadn't seen this film."
