AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry told the U.K.'s Classic Rock magazine that the veteran band is fired up again after nearly imploding late last year. The group nearly fell apart in the fall of 2009 after singer Steven Tyler's stage injury at a show last August led to a tour cancellation, accusations that he had fallen off the wagon, and finally threats by both sides to carry on without the other. A "summit meeting" this past February apparently healed the rift, with Perry saying, "All it took to get things back on track was a simple conversation between Steven and I."

Perry revealed, "The atmosphere in the [rehearsal] room is just incredible. Everyone in the band is at the top of their game, including Steven, whose singing is awesome. He also looks great."

Tyler completed a 90-day stint in rehab before rejoining his bandmates, to fight an addiction to painkillers brought on by several painful foot surgeries.

Perry added that he hoped the band's newfound energy would finally find its way onto a new studio album, saying, "We owe it to ourselves first and foremost to make a great record, and we owe it to the fans, too . . . Now that we're all on the same page, and without the medical issues that held us up, we'll give ourselves plenty of time and do things the way we used to, which is how our best work was done."

AEROSMITH's last full set of all-new material, "Just Push Play", came out in 2001.
