AEROSMITH's JOE PERRY Talks Motorcycle Crash

July 21, 2010

AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry spoke to Andy Greene of RollingStone.com about the injuries he sustained last week in a motorcycle accident.

On July 15, Perry pulled his Ducati motorcycle up to a traffic light, waited until it turned green and then put the bike into gear. "Next thing I know, I'm on tarmac looking up at the sky," the AEROSMITH guitarist told RollingStone.com. "This woman behind me just didn't slow down at the light. She was going 25-30 miles per hour and just rear-ended me. Everything on the bike from the engine back is smashed up, but I don't even have a black and blue mark. I can't believe it. I'm just really lucky."

Within minutes the police and EMT arrived on the scene, and they insisted that Perry go to the hospital. "I definitely felt banged up," he said.
