Joe Perry: ‘Have Guitar, Will Travel’
FROM WWW.CLASSICROCKREVISITED.COM:
Joe Perry’s latest solo album, Have Guitar, Will Travel, comes out today. There are plenty of impressive riffs on the record but how did the guitarist decide what he’d put on his solo effort and what he’d contribute to the upcoming Aerosmith album? Joe first joked about his decision process, then he revealed how he figures it out.
Well obviously, I save the best ones for me. Sometimes they’re neutral, they could go either way. And then I’ll usually play some of that stuff for the other guys in the band and right away I can tell how it strikes them, if they hear something there they go, ‘Wow, we could really do that one.’ So I just know kind of instinctively what’s going to end up on an Aerosmith record and what’s going to end up on one of mine.”
Find out what Joe decided to keep for himself by picking up your copy of Have Guitar, Will Travel. The disc is out now. Meanwhile, Joe will be playing with his Joe Perry Project tonight at L-A’s The Viper Room.
