AEROSMITH Members Discuss 'Global Warming' Tour, Upcoming Album At L.A. Press Event (Video)

March 28, 2012

AEROSMITH members Steven Tyler, Tom Hamilton, Joey Kramer and Joe Perry took part in a special press event earlier today (Wednesday, March 28) at The Grove in Los Angeles, California to announce the band's upcoming "The Global Warming Tour". You can now watch video footage of the question-and-answer session below.

"Well, we've been underground for four months doing what we do best," began singer Steven Tyler, "and we've been known to set the world on fire with our type of music, for the last couple of years, to say the least. So, we decided to call this 'The Global Warming Tour', and come from under the hood, to tell you all that we've got a new album and a new tour."

"The Global Warming Tour" will play 18 markets beginning on June 16 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Support on the trek will come from CHEAP TRICK.

"The old AEROSMITH is back with a new vengeance and we will kick your ass and make out with your mothers," says Steven Tyler.

Joe Perry adds, "Can't wait to bring this band back home. It feels like we've been away too long."

Live Nation is the national tour promoter for AEROSMITH's North American tour. This summer's hottest ticket will go on sale March 30 and 31 at Ticketmaster.com and LiveNation.com.

AEROSMITH is currently mixing a reworked version of its 1991 outtake "Legendary Child" (originally written during the "Get A Grip" sessions) for inclusion in the upcoming summer film "GI Joe: Retaliation" (which arrives in theaters around the U.S. on June 29). The song is also expected to appear on AEROSMITH's long-awaited new studio album, which is tentatively due later this year.

AEROSMITH began work on its first all-new album since 2001 last year, with the rest of the band working on music while singer Steven Tyler made his "American Idol" debut.

The band has been working with producer Jack Douglas, who collaborated with them on classic early albums like "Toys In The Attic" and "Rocks".
