September 12, 2009, 14 years ago
AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry spoke with Sean Daly from Tampabay.com recently about a number of topics including his upcoming solo album, Have Guitar, Will Travel, out on October 6th. A few excerpts from the chat follow:
Tampabay.com: On the vibe of his new album, especially the great blues track 'Slingshot':
Perry: "I wanted the feel of driving into Las Vegas at 6 in the morning with the top down after being up for three straight days. I've had nights like those."
Tampabay.com: On the fate of Aerosmith after singer Steven Tyler fell off the stage during an August show, causing the band to scrap a summer tour:
Perry: "There are plenty of tweets, Twitters, blogs saying the band broke up and that's bulls---. It's just not true. People can be so bitter and cruel. Just because you're anonymous doesn't mean you can lose your manners or your etiquette. . . . Aerosmith is not broken up. We're going to take a good healthy sabbatical."
