Aerosmith is gearing up to embark on their "Peace Out" farewell tour in September, but does that mean the band's done making music? Joe Perry touched on the subject during a new interview with Rock Candy Magazine.
"Right now I'm writing stuff for the new [Hollywood] Vampires record, but that's a whole other thing," the guitarist explained. "As for Aerosmith, I don't know. We'll see. There's definitely a possibility, but at the minute we're looking at the set for the tour and the songs we can play."
"There are a lot of numbers that we haven't done in a long time that I'd like to play," Perry continued. "There are a lot of songs we're considering, but there are certain tunes that people kind of insist on. As far as new music is concerned, I know that Steven [Tyler]'s got some stuff in his back pocket, but I really think the main thing right now is getting back on the road and playing. We're also remixing some of the early stuff and finding some interesting outtakes, so it'll be fun to look at that stuff."
The band initially kicked off their farewell tour last fall but were forced to postpone it after only three shows when Tyler injured his vocal cords and fractured his larynx. Aerosmith's last album was 2012's Music From Another Dimension!
