AEROSMITH's JOE PERRY Not Speaking To STEVEN TYLER, Says Band's Future In Doubt

November 23, 2009

AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry told MTV.com at the American Music Awards last night (Sunday, November 22) that he and the band's singer, Steven Tyler, aren't even close to making up.

"Um, well ... I don't know," he shrugged, admitting that the future of AEROSMITH is in doubt. "You guys know more about it than I do. Everything is through the press."

Tyler joined guitarist Perry onstage in New York earlier this month while the latter was touring with his JOE PERRY PROJECT solo band, telling the crowd that he wasn't quitting AEROSMITH. "Well," Perry explained to MTV.com, "he says he's not."

"Actually, [Tyler] sat in. For one song," Perry said of that appearance with the PROJECT. "Yeah, but we didn't talk or anything."

Getting beyond Tyler, Joe Perry insisted that the rest of the band — Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer — want to keep the train a-rolling. "I think that you just have to listen to what's going on in the press. Because that's the only thing I know," he explained. "All I know is that the four guys want to work. I'm working with my band, playing the House of Blues all across the country. And we're rocking out and having a good time."

"The band's going to be working," he said of AEROSMITH's plans, with or without Tyler. "I'm working, right now."
