Great day!  Sean Kinney and Jerry Cantrell were super nice earlier today.  How bout that 1 hour block of AIC!

New Ratt vs Jimi Hendrix in the Cockfight….crazy.  Jimi won.

And lastly I’m getting really sick of all this back and forth stuff with Aerosmith…it’s been going on for 3 months now.  Not classy at all, it’s like that couple who fight in public, make up only to have another blowup in front of everyone….Ugh!

AEROSMITH: Perry Not Thinking Highly of Tyler(Posted 3:00 AM, 2/4/2010)
 
 
Joe Perry is interviewed in the new issue of Classic Rock magazine, and among the topics discussed is the future of Aerosmith and Steven Tyler. Perry says, “We can’t count on Tyler any more. He’s a [bleeping] burn-out.”

Perry also gave an interview to Classic Rock Revisited in which he talks about Tyler’s recent appearances at a karaoke bar and a Home Depot where he sang over the store’s P-A system. “Anybody’s that’s willing to go out there with a lead ball on their nose usually tends to get the attention. That’s what he chooses to do… If it was me I would be doing everything I could to keep my band together… I just look at it and go, ‘What the [bleep] is he doing?’”

In the same interview, Perry also addressed the story that he asked Bad Company singer Paul Rodgers to join Aerosmith, saying, “Him being English from that earlier generation, I don’t think that it would work. I mean, it’s more than just somebody who can sing… We’re young kids to him. I just don’t think it’s the right chemistry. Technically, I know he’s got the chops — I mean, I know he can sing anything he wants — but I think that it’s a little bit more than just if he can sing the songs.” Rodgers’ wife Cynthia tells us, “Joe mentioned that they were considering a new singer, but he never directly asked Paul. Paul mentioned that he’s not really keen to do anymore major touring and prefers to do short stints of touring, a couple of weeks here and there and one-offs.” The Joe Perry Project will open for Bad Company in England in April. –Sal Cirrincione
