Joe Perry Gets Real
Ever since Aerosmith announced that they would be embarking on their farewell tour, reports have been rather mixed on whether or not Aerosmith will continue to write and record music. Some band members have said yes, others have said no, and now we’re all just too confused to decipher a definite answer from the band. To make things worse, Joe Perry was asked about this and gave an even more vague answer…
In a recent interview with SiriusXM, Joe Perry opened up about the possibility of creating a new Aerosmith album. Here is what he had to say…
“I don’t know if we have time to do a whole record, but Steven Tyler and I have talked about getting together and at least throwing some stuff out before we start up again. It’s really about the tempo and the schedule. Obviously, we’ve slowed down somewhat from how we used to tour, but anything’s possible. I don’t know yet.”
“Everybody’s vibe is we’d like to have some new material. But we’ve got so many songs that we haven’t played in so long, and other songs that we’ve never played, so there are a lot of things to come into consideration when you talk about a new record. Sometimes I think about, ‘What’s the point?’ We’ve got all these songs that we’ve already written that have been on these albums that we’d love to play that no one’s ever heard before. And I certainly love recording, and I could see it happening.”
I guess at this point, like I say time and time again, time will tell. Personally, I think one last great record from Aerosmith would be a great way to cap off their stellar multi-decade career, but that’s just me…
