JOE PERRY On The Future Of AEROSMITH - “Even If That Final Tour Comes About, It Could Go On For Two Years”

Guitar World’s James Wood recently spoke with Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry about the Hollywood Vampires North American tour, new music, the future of Aerosmith and more. An excerpt follows:

Q:  Steven (Tyler) recently spoke about a final Aerosmith tour in 2017. What are your thoughts on that?

A: “It’s one of many things we’ve talked about as a band, but I don’t know if it’s the end. We take it from album to tour and day to day. It’s the same philosophy we’ve always had. But even if that final tour comes about, it could go on for two years. There are still a lot of places we haven’t played yet that we want to play. More to follow; let's just put it that way.”

Q: What are your thoughts on Steven’s new solo album, We’re All Somebody From Somewhere?

A: “I’m really happy he did it because he’s been talking about it for years. It’s given us a chance to take a break and has worked out well for everyone that he’s finally getting to do it. I know he’s doing some gigs and going on the road after he releases the record, but the main thing is he’s having fun doing it. That’s why you do a solo record - to explore new music and work with different musicians. As long as he’s doing what he wants, that’s what counts.”
