“I did a recording session with Paul McCartney a month and a half ago for a private thing", Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry told Chicago Sun-Times' Miriam Di Nunzio in a phone conversation earlier this week.

“I met him once or twice over the years to say hello. To spend six or eight hours in studio with him recording! He makes you feel like you’re recording with just another guy. He just happens to be a mother____g huge talent! Everyone’s in the room at once; you play until you get a good take.”

Asked what was it like jamming with McCartney, Perry responds, "It’s the great ego leveler. I was in the studio with Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp, playing guitar, and the three of us are looking at each other like, hey, we’re sitting here with Paul McCartney! And we’re all looking at each other like open-mouthed kids. Paul was really nice. He’s all about business when he’s recording. At 72 he can still hit all those notes."

Did the session yield a new single? "It’s a project that were keeping under wraps for now", says Joe. "There will be an announcement when the time is right."
