AEROSMITH drummer Joey Kramer spoke with Jay N. Miller from Patriotledger.com recently about a number of topics. A few excerpts from the chat follow:
On dealing with the drama: "“We love each other like brothers. And like brothers we sometimes fight and disagree, make up and get along. Amongst the five of us, it’s almost like a marriage – you have your ups and downs, and move backward and forward.”
The new Joey Kramer Hit Hard iPhone application: “I did all the playing on that, and it is all my voice, but we did that more as a fun thing. It’s not expected to be a big moneymaker or anything, but we were aware of the fact that people do like to try to play along.”
On Tyler as an American Idol judge: "I choose to look at that whole American Idol thing as a positive. It could do the band a whole lot of good – I can’t see how it couldn’t. It is admittedly a bit of a wild card, but if Steven wants to do it, more power to him.”
On the band’s 40th anniversary: "It is a long, long time. But I really feel as if we’re playing better than we have for quite a while. We’ve come out on this tour with mutual respect and regard for each other. . . . Everybody is on the same page, and we’re enjoying the shows. Playing live is the root of it all. That’s where it all started, and we’re having fun.”
