Legendary AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry spoke with The Globe And Mail recently about a number of topics. A few excerpts from the chat follow:
The Globe And Mail: You've got your solo album out and you're ready to hit the road, but, first, can you tell us the status of Aerosmith?
Perry: "Right now, we're talking about getting another singer to fill in for Steven. I don't know what's going on with him, but as far as Aerosmith goes, we're going to find somebody to sing."
The Globe And Mail: Will you go the unknown, sound-alike-singer route, or look for a name guy?
Perry: "I think it would make more sense, with a band like Aerosmith, to get somebody who the fans might recognize. There's no sense going out there and being an Aerosmith clone band. In order for both parties to get something out of this, to move things along musically, it's important to get somebody who's a legitimate headliner on their own."
The Globe And Mail: Does Aerosmith have another Toys in the Attic in them?
Perry: "We've already made that record. I don't want to go and repeat that. But as far as making a record that has that kind of energy you want, there's no reason that we can't - there's no reason at all."
