Aerosmith's Joe Perry Using Twitter To Name Solo Album
Posted by Mitch Michaels on 07.03.2009
Perry's latest solo effort nearly ready to go...
Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry says his next solo album is nearly complete - he's just finishing mixing and plans to release a single later this month or August. He hopes for the album to hit stores this fall.
"It's a lot different than the last one," Perry says. "The last one was a straight-ahead rocker. This one's got some different things on it."
"We were working around the clock, through weekends and everything, and it was all live," Perry says. "In fact, a lot of the vocals are live along with the rest of the band. [Sound] was bleeding from one track to another; if somebody had a bad take everybody had a bad take, and we played it 'til we got a good one. Of course we went in and overdubbed a lot of the other stuff, but the energy is there. You can feel it."
Perry is currently holding a contest on his Twitter page for fans to name the album. The winner will also get a guitar.
"It's tough, obviously, without having heard the record for people to name it," he notes, "but we may find something really good. There've already been a bunch that are possibilities."
