I don't know how other bands play the same songs every night.

We're playing the same songs, the same way, that we have for years.

Over the years, when you're in a band with a catalog like Aerosmith's, you accumulate a lot of instruments to duplicate those songs.

Record labels collude with some of the radio stations, and the radio stations have their play lists, dependent upon what they call the, quote, 'hits.' What's commercially viable gets recycled, endlessly repeated, and as a result of that, the progressive music can't break in.

The music scene is more competitive in the States.

I'm still heard on 1,500 radio stations across North America every day, about 220 million people a day in 150 countries.

I don't know who was the one that came up with the notion that you have to play the same songs every concert.

Where I grew up, in the Detroit area, there was a really good station. Sometimes you would hear songs for the first time on the radio, and if a really special song came on, somebody would turn it up, and everybody would just stop talking.

I always like to get local music when I'm in another country.

It's always interesting to me that we all hear music differently. It's an awesome experience to hear what other people hear.
