AEROSMITH Delayed New Album To Get Ready For Tour Opener Tonight

September 5, 2006

Launch Radio Networks reports: AEROSMITH and MÖTLEY CRÜE are in Columbus, Ohio, for the start of their Route Of All Evil tour at the Germain Amphitheatre tonight (Tuesday, September 5). AEROSMITH spent time earlier this year working on a new studio album, and the plan was to have it ready by now, but it probably won't be out until the middle of next year. Lead guitarist Joe Perry told Launch they decided to push things back to make sure the band was ready for opening night. "I just know from experience, the last tour we mounted (while making a new album),we just didn't give ourselves enough time in front to give the show what it needed," he said. "When you start off with a new (tour) like that, after about two or three weeks, you feel like you're hitting your stride, and this time, we want to be hitting our stride at the first gig, instead of the 14th gig, or the 13th gig."

Perry was talking about 2003, when he thought AEROSMITH didn't spend enough time getting ready for their tour with KISS while also working on the album "Honkin' On Bobo".

The CRÜE are also in the midst of making a new album.

AEROSMITH will release a new greatest-hits collection in October titled "Devil's Got a New Disguise".
