JOE PERRY: AEROSMITH's Problems Far From Over

November 11, 2009

AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry tells RollingStone.com that Steven Tyler's appearance at last night's (Tuesday, November 10) THE JOE PERRY PROJECT concert in New York City came as a surprise even to him. "There was all this commotion during our encore break and somebody said, 'Steven is here.' " Perry says. "And I was like, 'What?' After exchanging pleasantries, Tyler asked to join the group on stage for the final encore of "Walk This Way". "Being an acquaintance of 40 years, I said, 'Why not?'" Perry says. "So he came up and sang and that was the last I saw of him."

Despite Tyler's onstage insistence that he isn't leaving the band (see video below),Perry says AEROSMITH is still considering touring and recording with a new singer. "He wants to take two years off from the band," Perry tells RollingStone.com. "The rest of the band wants to keep on working. We have so many different options to fill up that time. Anything is possible at this point. Basically, any communication that we've had over the last couple of months has been through managers, so that's been pretty strange."

Perry adds, "I never won any money trying to second-guess what goes on in Steven's mind. I guess this is just AEROSMITH business as usual."
