Ahead of tickets going on sale for Aerosmith's upcoming Vegas residency, we spoke with JoePerry about that and the band's storied career
When we’re in Vegas, there is this little patch of desert, probably like 10 square miles. It’s really flat. A pickup truck drives around in a huge circle while you’re standing there, [attached to] about 30 or 40 feet of rope, a steel cable, and lifts you up in the air as the truck is driving around about 20 miles an hour. They reel you out until you’re about 3,000 feet or something. And, and then after you’ve been up in the air for a while, they pull this latch and you disconnect.
[Kramer] regrettably made the decision to sit out the band’s concerts in 2022 so he can focus his full attention on his family during these uncertain times,” the band said. “He and the band look forward to his future performances with Aerosmith.”I’m going to have to leave that. You’ll have to ask Joey.with his other band the Hollywood Vampires, later citing dehydration and exhaustion.]It was really a bummer. I let the guys down. And also my family was there, which is even more important.
One of my favorite songs on Aerosmith’s debut is “Movin’ Out.” I didn’t realize it was the first song you and Tyler wrote together. In the first few verses, your guitar and his voice are kind of operating in unison. Like you’re trying to sew them back together.Well, that’s what I’m wondering. When you wrote about hearing Chuck Berry for the first time, you said you heard two voices — his singing voice and the voice of his guitar.
We used to argue all the time in a creative way, like, who would do their bit first. I kind of liked doing the guitar part first and then the voice after that. There are arguments for both. So that’s why my riffs kind of fall on the vocals, generally speaking.Is there an album or song that you look back and hear “okay, that’s where I really became my own musician, I’ve made this sound my own.”
When we did the Run DMC thing. That was big here [in the U.S.] but when we went to Europe, it was even bigger. A lot of people came up to us and said, ‘Wow, this is great. You guys have anything else like this?’ Thinking this was our first go around. Same thing onDo you think Aerosmith’s ‘70s albums deserve a re-appraisal?— the last two albums you made before leaving the band — they were so underrated.
