I've come to realize that you live on through recordings; they're like a musical diary, a window into somebody's soul.
From Joe Perry
When I plug in my guitar and play it really loud, loud enough to deafen most people, that's my shot of adrenaline, and there's nothing like it. That's what it's always been for me - to be the flame the tribe dances around.
When I got sober and started working out, I fell into that trap of working out too much. I know a lot of guys can relate to that - if you don't get that runner's high every day, you feel like, 'Oh my God, I'm losing it.'
I'm turned off by the groupie thing. I'm a romantic; I like finding the right woman, and if it works, it works.
Aerosmith is such a powerful band; I mean, it's like a steam locomotive.
The kids get a vote. That's very important when it comes to raising kids. And always keep the bigger picture in mind.
I don't spend much time listening to the records when they're done. Usually I let go of it. Especially in the Eighties and Nineties - they were like product, almost.
I've seen bands split up for five years and do nothing. That sounds great to me, but it just hasn't worked out that way.
I think that... the age of just slapping songs into movies, that's done.
That's what I love about music. It's immediate. There's a connection whether you are playing at Hyde Park or Chicago, and it's been happening since the beginning of time and the troubadours.
