AEROSMITH Frontman Explains New Album Delay (Audio) - June 26, 2012
"The Alan Cox Show", which airs on "Cleveland's rock station" 100.7 WMMS, recently conducted an interview with AEROSMITH singer Steven Tyler. You can now listen to the chat below.

When asked about AEROSMITH's long-awaited 15th studio album, "Music From Another Dimension", which has had its release date pushed back from August 28 to November 6 (via Columbia Records), Tyler said, "Too many [other notable recording artists] are releasing [new albums] those weeks [in late summer]. We don't wanna step on their release dates. So we said, 'You know what?! We've got the goods. [There] ain't no doubt about it. We'll wait another couple of months.'"

The first song to be made available from "Music From Another Dimension" is a reworked version of the band's 1991 outtake "Legendary Child", which was originally written during the "Get A Grip" sessions. The track, which can be streamed below, will also be included in the upcoming film "GI Joe: Retaliation", the release of which has now been pushed back to March 2013.

AEROSMITH performed "Legendary Child" on May 23 on the season finale of "American Idol".

"Music From Another Dimension" track listing:

01. What Could Have Been Love
02. Beautiful
03. Street Jesus
04. Legendary Child
05. Oh Yeah
06. We All Fall Down
07. Another Last Goodbye
08. Out Go the Lights
09. Love Three Times a Day (Hello Goodbye)
10. Closer
11. Shakey Ground
12. Lover A Lot
13. Freedom Fighter
14. Up On The Mountain

AEROSMITH began work on its first all-new album since 2001 last year, with the rest of the band working on music while singer Steven Tyler made his "American Idol" debut.

"Music From Another Dimension" is being helmed by producer Jack Douglas, who previously worked with AEROSMITH on classic early albums like "Toys In The Attic" and "Rocks" as well as on 2004's "Honkin' On Bobo".

"This record is different from the recent past, say the last 20 years, where everybody is getting in the studio and throwing down their songs," guitarist Joe Perry recently told Billboard.com. "This record is a lot more band-written stuff than there has been in the recent past."

Perry admitts he's still amazed how the band has managed to keep it together over the past 40 years. Perry explained to the Boston Herald that somehow when it came time to craft the material on "Music From Another Dimension", they were willing to put all of their personal differences aside for the benefit of the music. "I have no idea how it works," he said. "With AEROSMITH, we put one foot in front of the other and hope for the best. . . There are bands that don't talk to each other for five years, and then get back together and go out and play their songs and they turn into the best cover band of their own songs. That's fine and well, but for us it will be always changing. We've been trying to write this record for 10 years, and we finally did."

Steven Tyler, whose decision to take the job as a judge on Fox's "American Idol" caused yet another major rift between his and Perry's relationship, added, "It's the same bottle man. We just corked it. Everything that was cooking inside and fermenting to that just right year just happened to be now. It was the perfect time. . . With great pressure comes great diamonds."

I don't think pushing the album out has anything to do with being afraid of other bands at all. Back before the digital era, any major release instantly sold millions of copies and it really didn't matter if 3 major bands had their album coming out on the same day. The world of album sales has changed and I think it's just a respectful nod to give other artists their release date.

I'm sure someone's going to come in and comment "they know the album stinks so they can't have it released on the same day as any other major artists", and nobody can speculate that until the album is out and we hear it.

on behalf of all of the other artists, thanks Stevie baby. That's awful generous of you to not cock block the few people who still buy albums from buying ours. We know on the release date of the new Aerosmith album, no one will buy any other album anywhere. You rock, man.

... already!

It is going to be really interesting to see how this sells. Aerosmith hasn't released a record since the digital trend really took off. Steven is arguably more well known than ever before, but will that translate into sales? And do Aerosmith fans even care about a new release, or have we entered the "Stones territory" where it is about the live show (and the catalog) and not the new music?

"we are trying to conjure up some more ballads - 8 is not enough and we need to think of a couple of more"

"we have a new audience now - especially after my fame on Idol - our fans are now a bunch of pussies - so more ballads it is!!"

Really, Steven?? Exactly what releases in September are going to step on your album? Sounds like a crappy record on its way, especially judging from the first single. These guys lost it years ago. Take a tip from Van Halen, and record something that actually rocks, instead of hiring Britney Spears' songwriters to do it for you. Or maybe spend a little less time with the no-talents on American Idol.
