[@LeslieRestock]

Thank you Joe Perry! You are an exceptional guitar player ❤ Peace & Love to you.

Respect for disclosing his learning disability. Joe Perry is not only a legend but an inspiration to all.

[@isaboteur2562]

That made me feel really good. I'm 44 and have ADHD. Throughout my elementary school years I had a very hard time because my teachers thought I was just being bad. Truth be told I wanted to be a good student but it was sooooo hard for me to keep the focus going. I cried many times while trying to do book reports at home.

[@robertjordan3155]

HARDLY

[@johnkelly2663]

I ALWAYS thought he was one cool dude and this interview only confirms it. Not one bad word about anyone, no tough guy stuff and not a single curse word. Just a really cool rocker. He is a great guest, I can tell he really enjoyed interviewing him.

[@notpub]

What an awesome man!!! So charming, together, kind, conduit for rock fever, he's fire af!!!

[@xx7secondsxx]

Hes the King!

[@isaboteur2562]

Ikr....no tough guy talk, not a single shred of arrogance. He's up there w the greatest ever but he won't admit during interviews because he doesn't wanna seem cocky. BIG RESPECT for this man

[@michaeljohnson7276]

Thanks Larry and Joe for the great interview! Joe is a complete gentleman and definitely a Rock icon! Him and Brad were absolute hard Rock guitar innovators and pushed 60s Rock into the 70s and 80s. The first time my brother cranked the toys in the attic record up it blew my mind! I was probably 13 at the time around 1980! The way they weaved guitar rythems and leads together on that record is why I started playing Rock guitar 🎸. My folks bought me a 76 les paul standard shortly after. I've seen them live a few times and had a chance to see how' the pros get it done! Amazing shows! They were the 70s stones! Only harder! So inspirational to me! Thanks guys God bless!

[@DanaDeHart-us6kr]

❤ He's kind, considerate & very loyal. One he'll of a song writter, & Guitar 🎸 player!! Good Man,& Father !!

[@morganfisherart]

Joe has the class of an old-school gentleman. I have always enjoyed meeting him over the years since 73 when he opened for my band Mott. He's one of the good ones, and this interview confirmed it for me.

[@marceloromero4515]

What a wonderful treat to see your comments. May I ask, will you be part of the reunion on the upcoming tour?

[@leostarr9789]

Wtf. You're actual him outta Mott the Hoople?!

[@roxannemoser]

I love Mott the Hoople. Thank you for stopping by and sharing a comment.

[@petewarrell6880]

Really?

[@morganfisherart]

@@marceloromero4515 - finally I get to answer! I did the April 2019 US/UK Mott reunion tour. Sadly the October 2019 US tour was postponed due to Ian Hunter's severe tinnitus. He seems in better shape these days (at 81!) and we all hope to tour again when this craziness has passed. There are MANY live videos of the tour on youtube. Cheers!

[@mrgroovestring]

Joe Perry has always been one of my all time favorite guitar players. Been following those guys since the 70s.

[@cloudedthoughts909]

Class act. Joe seems humble and kind. Love his music, especially the 70s material, with Aerosmith, Joe's first 2 solo albums and his book.

[@isaboteur2562]

This man is soo humble and honest. I'm 44 and also have ADHD. Throughout elementary school I struggled very badly and felt like a failure half the time.

[@saxonsteve]

I live in Hopedale Mass. and Joe's house is about 5 minutes from my house. As a matter of fact, my wife's sister, hung out with Joe. And his Mom, was a Gym teacher in the Hopedale school system. My wife saw Aerosmith at a local town hall for $5 Bucks!!

[@juliegoff1731]

saxonsteve wow !

[@jackbtlr17]

That's awesome

[@WhatsCookingTime]

I'm from Lowell Mass but I have friends from down that way . Hopedale is a nice little town actually. Probably a pretty cool place to grow up

[@saxonsteve]

@@WhatsCookingTime I have been in Hopedale for 24 years and absolutely love it here! I am originally from Saugus. I could never go back now. Their isn't anything like country living. My wife grew up here. We both are motorcylists and the backroad riding out here is really great!

Iam a huge fan of Areosmith and Steven Tyler and joe perry is a huge idol and inspiration to me I have been in special education in school from day one till the last day at high school cause I have a intellectual disability but I have had labels and barriers but now iam a singer songwriter I have a KZbin channel and now seeing joe perry achieve what he has achieve has showed me that anyone can achieve anything

[@TheMkarr]

All I can say is, Aerosmith came here rite after Columbine. Many said they should not play. Co was hurt. I & my wife decided (in the middle of a snow storm in May), we were not going to let it go. Our kids were young & we wanted them to remember. They do ! Aerosmith helped heal many hearts that night. Thanks guys.

[@markfitzpatrick1010]

Joe comes across as really down to earth and genuine

[@grigorirasputin9507]

Joe is such a nice guy. That is all that needs to be said.

[@yesiownfrodo]

This was a GREAT interview, and I would say that this is a good testament to what it means to be a professional. I have a new respect for Joe. I have always respected him as a musician, but wow, I have new respect for him as a person.

[@isaboteur2562]

Textbook definition of a professional. Your right

[@DD__suggestions]

I used to buy french fries from the restaurant where Joe Perry made the fries in New Hampshire when Joe and I were young guys. I can't believe decades have passed since then. Joe cooked the fries perfectly. Joe should go into the French Fries Hall Of Fame. Obviously, Joe was a bon vivant of the cooking world.

[@davidpancerz5820]

I love Joe "F*cking" Perry. Great interview, great book.

[@cavdragoon]

Never was a big Aerosmith or Steven Tyler fan , but Joe is top shelf and rock n roll to the core.

[@lloydrobeau5126]

Agreed !!

[@oliveranikolic8158]

Love, love, love this man. Amazing Joe Perry....

[@ollieahokas9179]

Mr Joe Perry! I have been a fan of your band since the album Rocks came out, I have all the records and yes, I have them on the the memory stick when driving. I live in Sweden so I became a fan of Aerosmight long before you guys made it over here after the remake of Walk this wy. I remember seeing you first time live during Permantwnr Vacation tour and you played many of your older stuff and the ground around me was staring ar me as I knew the songs as many may hade got to hear Pump and the Permament Vacation album. It was great to at last see you playing live. But I could never guessed how cool guy you are, down to earth, honest guy. Thinking of the ups and downs in your life, you returning in Aerosmith and the person you became is something extra ordinary. So thank you for all these years and the music, hopefully there is more to come. Hats off for you, a deep bow and all the best! As Aerosmith is one of the bands that got me playing guitar and I have done it now longer than many grown ups have been walking on this planet! Cheers!

[@tonyanthony5105]

I have been watching these every once in a while for the past couple years but now that Larry is gone I think I’m gonna go back and watch them all. Fantastic interviewer, great questions

[@tamoxigirl78]

Joe Perry is so modest and humble. Very unusual for a member of a Rockband. I also wanted to be a marine biologist 🤗😊🙃😀Something we have in common!

[@jamesroyal1739]

What a great interview, the man does not lack any education, I found myself answering his responses to questions, before he did ,correctly,I give that to him having a good heart and soul

[@elmhszady]

Read his book - I bought it, read it, and loved it. Joe Perry is AWESOME. For one thing, he and his wife Billie are supporters of Sea Shepherd - one of the few environmental organizations out there who aren't afraid to take on whaling nations like Japan, Norway, and Iceland. I grew up listening to Aerosmith, I've seen them live twice, and would go again if I have the chance.

[@skippy10]

How does attempting to violently impose a whale worshiping cult on people in other parts of the world make you an "environmental" organization?

[@celularnuevocn]

Beautiful interview. I don't know why it took me so long to finally watch it. Joe's life story is truly inspiring. And Larry... Well, what can I say? He was the God of interviews. I'm always thankful when the journalist actually lets the guest speak. Interviewers like him are not seen very often.

An unexpected treat to hear Joe talk at length.

Rest In Peace, Larry. You were/are my favourite host of all time. I’m so glad you interviewed the equally legendary Joe Perry. 🎙🎸

[@samuikissthesky155]

What a great vibe.

[@stevemazz3121]

I have had the pleasure of seeing Aerosmith Twice. First in the Seventies... tickets were $9.00 dollars. Second time 2006... tickets were $120.00 dollars. Funny how they played many of the same songs at both concerts. Great both times.

[@andrewburgess633]

damn- 9 bux! back when they were rulin' the roost

[@roxannemoser]

I paid $15, and was pissed that tickets were that high, but not as high as Steven was, or maybe wasn't and wanted to be. He's talked about having to perform while being dope sick while Joe Perry wouldn't share his stash back then to avoid the sickness. I'm just happy the Toxic Twins made it through alive. Steve Clark and Phil Collen from Def Leppard were The Terror Twins, and Steve didn't live through it. My heart still breaks.

[@r.m7921]

120 dollars??

[@ashleydimartino2265]

I saw them 4 times. The first time when I was 9 in 94 then when I was 16, and twice when I was 20. He's my guitar God and the one who inspired me to play.

I know I love that as well I've been a fan of the band forever. I know him and Steven and the rest of the guys do a lot of charitable work in fact I met them at a charitable fundraiser in Boston back in the day super nice guys. But it makes me smile to hear that I grew up in Massachusetts I too wanted to be marine biology when I was a kid as well. It's a wonderful organization

He's such an old school Italian gentleman and he's extremely sexy. Sorry I'll take this guy over the younger men in my town any day.

Joe's grandfather changed the family's Portuguese last name of Pereira to Perry. His mom, Mary Ursillo, was of Italian descent. Joe is of Portuguese and Italian descent and raised 100% American by both parents in Hopedale, MA.

Coming from the Boston area coming from a Portuguese family like Joe I totally relate. also wanted to be a marine biologist when I was a kid and some ADHD yet with incredible intelligence testing scores off the charts and people just saying to you you are screwing off. (We learned very well teaching ourselves or with proper teachers who were able to keep us interested) And your parents are good people and they want you to be successful. I didn't become a rockstar and I was able to figure out the add enough I didn't grow up in a small town I had a little more help available and I was able to get in high school and college and start working when I was 16. But I was able to overcome and I've had a pretty happy life so far and my own business I've done well. Of course I've always loved Joe and Steve and the rest of the band
