Classic Rock Revisted has issued a new interview, conducted with filmmaker Casey Patrick Tebo, who filmed AEROSMITH's new Rock For The Rising Sun concert film. An excerpt from the interview follows:

Q: Did you give Aerosmith a private viewing in a real theater... just you and them?

A: "Yes, and I was basically shitting my pants before it aired. I was thinking, 'What if they hate it? What if I wasted their time? What if I spent months of my life making a movie that was shit?' I guess as an artist we all go through that, 'Am I any fucking good? Do I have ANY IDEA what I’m doing?' That all came to a head sitting in that theatre. Thankfully, they liked it."

Q: What is, to you, the most important rules to follow when shooting a classic band like Aerosmith?

A: "Great question. I just sent a pitch to SYSTEM OF A DOWN to shoot them at the Hollywood Bowl and their manager ultimately turned it down. As soon as the email went whoooosh I went, 'Fuck, what if I didn’t’ get their brand right in the proposal?' That can turn a manager off in ten seconds. If you don’t get the band’s brand you’re screwed. I’ve worked with some directors, live TV guys, who, because of the unions, I just can’t come in and direct the segment, though I’ve done that as well; some of the bigger shows, Late Night stuff, Awards, etc… These guys are focused just on Steven, and I’m like, 'Hey, asshole, how about Joe Perry? Don’t you even fucking know music?' Everyone in that band deserves equal respect and face time. Just like METALLICA, or AC/DC or THE ROLLING STONES."
