AEROSMITH Guitarist Comments On CHUCK BERRY Jam

October 23, 2006

AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry joined Chuck Berry on stage in a surprise appearance at Chuck Berry's 80th birthday celebration at Blueberry Hill nightclub last Wednesday night (Oct. 18) in St. Louis.

Commented Perry: "We walked into Chuck's dressing room, he was sitting down listening to the CARDINALS on the radio, guitar in hand and he still looked larger than life. I felt like a 17-year-old kid and it hit me all at once I'm actually gonna hear him play. Then his son Butch (the guitar player in his band) came up and said, 'We are gonna ask you up about the third or fourth song. Do you want a strat or a Les Paul?' Next thing I know I'm getting pulled out of the audience and up on stage and I got to play those famous licks behind the man himself on 'Rock and Roll Music' and 'Round and Round'. I haven't been the same since and I know I never will. Like I said to Butch, 'I know it was Chuck's birthday but I'm the one that got the gift.'"

Read Perry's account of the entire evening and other tales from the road on his Joe Perry's Rock Your World blog at this location.

AEROSMITH recently added more dates to their fall schedule, though not all of them are with Route Of All Evil tour partners MÖTLEY CRÜE.

AEROSMITH released a new greatest-hits album last week called "Devil's Got A New Disguise", which also has two new songs, including the single "Devil's Got A New Disguise".
