AEROSMITH Guitarist Psyched About RED SOX Getting Japanese Pitcher

December 18, 2006

Launch Radio Networks reports: AEROSMITH lead guitarist Joe Perry is thrilled about the newest man to put on the uniform of his hometown baseball team, the Boston Red Sox. Pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka recently signed a deal to play for the Sox after starring for almost a decade in Japan with the Seibu Lions. Perry said, "We are proud and honored to have him come to Boston. I know he is going to enjoy playing in Boston, the U.S., and Canada as much as AEROSMITH enjoys playing and visiting Japan. On a more personal note, I know he will find a warm reception from the Boston fans for him and his family, just as I have found for me and my family in Japan. It's gonna be a rockin'season this year! Fenway Park will never be the same. Good luck, Matsuzaka-san."

AEROSMITH wrapped up their 2006 touring with a show last night (Sunday, December 17) at the ARCO Arena in Sacramento, California.

The group plans to release a new studio album next year, which they'll follow with another major tour.

Also due out next year are cover versions of JOHN LENNON & THE PLASTIC ONO BAND's "Give Peace A Chance" and U2's "Seconds", which they did with the West African band THE REFUGEE ALL STARS for separate tribute albums.
