AEROSMITH Guitarist talks 'Guitar Hero', Upcoming Tour; Video Available

June 8, 2009

Video footage of AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry talking to CBS News about Guitar Hero: Aerosmith and the band's upcoming tour can be viewed below.

Steven Tyler and Joey Kramer of AEROSMITH confirmed during a June 2 appearance on the WZLX radio station in Boston, Massachusetts that they will play the whole ""Toys In The Attic" album on their upcoming trek with ZZ TOP.

Asked which album he'd like to play in its entirety on tour, Perry recently told VH1 Classic Radio, "I think 'Toys In The Attic' would be fun. We do a lot of songs off the first four records anyway. We've jammed on 'Uncle Salty' onstage a few times. The later records with more songs on them, they would take up too much time in the set. We need to leave some room for some of the other standards."

"Toys In The Attic", AEROSMITH's third album, was released in 1975 and is one of their most successful efforts. It includes the classic singles "Walk This Way" and "Sweet Emotion", as well as "Adam's Apple", "Big Ten-Inch Record", "Round And Round", "Uncle Salty" and the title track.

By playing one record from front to back on this tour, AEROSMITH will join the ranks of other classic rock artists doing the same this summer. MÖTLEY CRÜE plans to perform 1989's "Dr. Feelgood" in its entirety, while JUDAS PRIEST is going to blast through all of 1980's "British Steel".
