Will AEROSMITH Perform 'Toys In The Attic' In Its Entirety On Tour?

April 22, 2009

According to Classic Rock Revisited, AEROSMITH is considering performing an entire album on their upcoming tour with ZZ TOP. Guitarist Joe Perry told VH1 Radio's Dave Basner that he would like to do "Toys in the Attic" and while he would not confirm or deny if it would happen, the inside scoop says to expect an announcement before they kick off their tour June 10.

The tour — presented by Guitar Hero: Aerosmith — kicks off June 10 in St. Louis. ZZ TOP joins the tour on June 16.

Joe Perry told The Pulse of Radio he's excited about the co-billing. "To follow them is gonna be a mouthful every night, and I know it's gonna kick us into overdrive," he said. "That sounds like a cliche, but when you play with a band like that we'll be out listening a lot 'cause I love them. I always have...they just got it, man. We got our work cut out for us, and the audience gets the benefit. They really win."

AEROSMITH has decided to delay its next album after Perry had to have corrective surgery on his 2008 knee replacement and singer Steven Tyler subsequently came down with pneumonia.

The guitarist said that AEROSMITH has just a couple of songs in finished shape for the new album, its first since 2004's "Honkin' On Bobo". The group plans to get back to work with producer Brendan O'Brien after the tour.

Perry, meanwhile, is also working in earnest on a new solo album, his follow-up to 2005's Grammy-nominated "Joe Perry".
