AEROSMITH Guitarist Joe Perry - "We Feel Like We Still Have A Really Good Record Inside Us; Not Just One, Who Knows How Many"
April 15, 2010, 14 years ago
AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry spoke with Jed Gottlieb from Bostonherald.com recently about a number of topics. A few excerpts from the chat follow:
On making amends with Steven Tyler: "I knew the band was going to get back together, I just didn’t know if it was going to take a week or a month or a year. Steven and I have been together for 40 years and no bumps in the road are going to change that."
On finally recording that long-delayed new Aerosmith album: "We definitely want to make another record. The way the industry is, there’s not a record company screaming at us to make an album, but we feel like we still have a really good record inside us. Not just one, who knows how many."
On trying to write songs with Tyler for the first time in a decade: "Obviously, I’d like to write with him. We really haven’t talked much about that since we’ve decided to play gigs again. I’d like to get back to the way we used to write. I really feel this vibe of the 40th anniversary of the band. To me that means making an album for us and the fans, not one that will just satisfy the label or some A&R; man."
