Ultimate-Guitar.com has issued an interview with AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry, conducted by Joe Matera. The following is an excerpt:

Q: Aerosmith has been one of the very few bands to have emerged during the ‘70s and not only still be around but be at the very top of their game, how does it feel after all these years?

A: "Right now, I feel like a tired motherfucker [laughs] I’ve just spent three months on the road in the States and Canada. I know the reason we did this was because we had to cancel so many gigs last spring because of (frontman) Steven (Perry)’s throat, like we had this tour we had to finish so it all kind rolled into this thing this fall. Now that we ‘re wrapping this up, it kind of clears the decks so next year can start to focus on working in the studio and hopefully do a world tour. What we’re looking at is coming back and playing some places we haven’t played a long time. And places we’ve never played. It’s been eight years since we’ve been in Europe and I don’t how long it’s been since we’ve been in Australia, and these are all things I want to do and I know all the other guys in the band feel the same way too we want to get back and play back out in the world. We’ve played America enough for different reasons and we’ve stayed here but it’s time for playing in other parts of the world. We’re an international band and we’ve played out there and it’s time to get back and go to a lot of places we haven’t played in awhile.
