Aerosmith Interview: Steve Tyler & Joe Perry - Music from Another Dimension!

In this exclusive interview, Absolute Radio presenter Russ Williams speaks to Steve Tyler and Joe Perry from Aerosmith about their new album (Music from Another Dimension!), how important it is for the original lineup to be back together, and surprises Joe with the news that the band are the best selling American rock band of all time.
Aerosmith return to London for the first time in four years to headline the brand new Calling Festival on Clapham Common.
The best-selling-American-rock-band of all time will take the stage on Saturday 28th June 2014 with special guests Joe Bonammasa and Thunder.

[@davidjamessmith6055]

Survivors of 40 years of touring, recording, performing and promoting, as pro musician myself, I only take inspiration from their position then & now. Honed their craft, earned the stripes, Lived the hedonistic life, screwed up a lot & released fuckin killer records. Musicians. Not media puppets. Sweet emotion. DJS

[@mialapierre3231]

You can tell Steven is bored and then becomes furious, because he's not used to someone else getting to do a lot of the talking. You should buy Joe Perry's book, "Rocks". You will learn a lot about how they fought and what they fought about. It was a real eye opener for me. But despite all that they've gone through, he still loves Steven like a brother. They will always be the toxic twins as long as Aerosmith is functioning as a band.

[@326cher]

It's so obvious to me that Steven really loves and respects Joe!

[@toddlavigne6441]

like many brothers they love each other, but don't like each other

[@Vibeagain]

He looks bored as you say because joe perry stammers to get it out and it would be embarrassing and nerve wracking

[@KooKookid520]

The thing about this band is that their music doesn't age. They haven't changed their style in all this time. Like when Joe was talking about other bands and their gimmicks. They don't have to put makeup on like KISS, they don't need the tutus and pumps like the Dolls. Their "Gimmick" is creating music from the heart and music with meaning.

Johnny McNugget They learned that from the Stones & Zep

[@joshuab1707]

@@danielledumont6536 I wouldn't call it a gimmick so much as a signature look. It was functional before it was fashionable. Steven used to use little sewn out pockets in the scarfs to stash drugs in so he could take a hit while performing.

One word to describe Aerosmith, The Greatest Rock Group of All Time!!

[@MarvDawk]

America's greatest band GOAT!

Steven sings with a lot of feeling its so beautiful his voice I think is the best in the world God bless the both of them

[@johnkelly2663]

Steven don't seem too happy about it either

[@bradleyframpton6823]

It's because Joe is the rock star of the band, he always will be. Aerosmith is truly an electrifying guitar band and it wouldn't be the same without Joe. You listen to all the 70's albums and hear all them awesome riffs by Perry, you'll then realize why Joe Perry is the number #1 rock star of Aerosmith. Something to think about.

At 9:40 ST looks away as JP talks , he's not to happy . He raises his left eyebrow as he eyes someone off camera, notching his head towards JP as to say " are you listening to this S&$! "

This guy clearly doesn't know Steven Tyler. He has said that he likes to be called Steven not Steve. This guy did not do his homework.

[@toddlavigne6441]

That may be the one thing that is making Steven angry here. He hates being called Steve

[@user-cz7zn5tn7x]

I like your interview with the other lady and you are a very special person ! I'm glad you're over your drug addiction ! ! I feel you worked hard for your career and you have earned and deserve good things. for your life! 🙏 I hope you feel a lot better today love you 💞 Hilda 🥰

I love how they can disribute the talking bit to eachother fairly equaly. Rock on, Aerosmith!

(3 years later) Joe said (3 years ago) that he was concerned that music from another dimension would be eh but I think it is pure GOLD!!!!!

[@JesseeSage]

It's amazing to always hear Peter Green brought up in interviews by musicians but hardly ever hear his guitar work.

[@fenderstratADHD]

Wonder if Steven and Joe and the rest of Aerosmith have been on Rock N Roller Coaster at Disney?? That ride is great! My 1st roller coaster! LOVE Aerosmith and Rock N Roller Coaster! :)

[@nikkiloreena]

I don't know if Joe (or any other member) have been on the ride, but I do know that there is a photo of Joe with Mickey Mouse standing in front of the coaster somewhere on the Internet. I've seen it a few times. Joe looks ecstatic in the photo, a huge smile!

[@crankyankerhapso]

9:36-9:55 watch Steve :D ... seems like he is telling somebody in the background with his eyes that Joe sucks...XD the whole situation begins when Joe interrupts Steve at 8:55

[@vanessa20130903]

Yeah you are right , he seems bored . what is happening with Joe he cant express an idea or form a complete sentence . it s really hard to understand him , but i will always love them.

That’s hilarious! Omg this is what my parents are like! They are truly like a married couple!

Have u ever regretted leaving the Band Joe? Why did you? (its just a question) Were you disappointed or sad with Steven? Steves said several times was his fault but... in other hand he s the lead singer (amazing unique vocals), made a huge sucess singing Aerosmith songs... Steven put you guys in a 2nd place as a matter of speaking?

Look at Steven's body language for Most of the interview (while he has to sit there quietly [for a change]), & Especially just after the 9:40 mark, where he looks bored sort of & then looks off camera to His right with a "Look at This guy, hogging the interview" type of thing. Good to see Joe talk for a change as a few people have noted tho'.

I think Tyler hates being the second fidle
