AEROSMITH Guitarist Is 'Ready' To Release Some New Music

March 6, 2012

In a brand new interview with TheTimesNews.com, AEROSMITH guitarist Brad Whitford spoke about the progress of the recording sessions for the band's long-awaited new album, which is tentatively due later this year.

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.

The band has been working with producer Jack Douglas, who collaborated with them on classic early albums like "Toys In The Attic" and "Rocks".

"I think people are going to see a lot of AEROSMITH later in the year," Whitford said. "We've got a new song that's gonna be used in a major motion picture this summer, so that's probably the first new music fans will get to hear. We may even debut it on 'American Idol' in May. We're definitely planning on touring the U.S. later in the summer. As for the new CD, the music is done — we're just waiting to get some of the vocals added in. Hopefully, we'll have that done sooner rather than later. It's been a decade since we last had new music out, and I know I'm ready for it."

AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry recently revealed via Twitter that the band will embark on a U.S. tour in June. Tickets will go on sale later this month. Exact cities and dates will be announced during the coming weeks.

In an interview with the QMI Agency, Perry stated about AEROSMITH's new material, "It definitely has a feel like some of the early stuff. We've tried to bring that back. People are always asking for something that sounds like the old stuff, but you can't rewrite 'Mama Kin' or 'Same Old Song And Dance'. All you can do is go in and start from the same place you started when you made those records. So we just went in with (producer) Jack Douglas and we all worked on the record. There's a song or two that the band helped write, and Tom (Hamilton, bass) wrote and Brad (Whitford, guitar) has a track on there. So from that point of view, it's a lot more like an early AEROSMITH record. We were all in the room when we were pulling these songs together and recording them. Every way that we used to make our records, that's what we did to get this to where it is. Right down to what we're doing now, which is going over the tracks and bringing them up to speed."
