AEROSMITH's PERRY: 'We Owe It To Ourselves To Make The Best Record We Can Make'

June 4, 2010

Even though AEROSMITH hasn't released a record of original material since 2001's "Just Push Play", and an attempt to record with PEARL JAM and BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN producer Brendan O'Brien fell apart when they failed to agree on a musical direction. guitarist Joe Perry tells RollingStone.com that he has higher hopes for their next effort. "Looking at the calendar we'll probably be going into the studio sometime around the holidays or maybe in the beginning of next year," he says. "We'll have to take time off from touring to make the best record we can make. We owe it to ourselves to make the best record we can make."

The group just wrapped a quick South American tour that attracted scores of young fans. "Half of them were between the ages of 15 to 25. After the encore at one show, we were getting ready to leave, but we hadn't done 'Crazy'," Perry says. "The kids were screaming so loud for it that we just had to go back onstage and play it."
