Joe Perry's Guitars

(When asked if he is ever embarrassed or annoyed by Steven) "Constantly! Constantly. All of the above! But you know, that's what's great about it. There's a brother thing going on there. We've been through so much together. He forgives me for my stoicism and my hard-headedness, and I likewise do the same with his flamboyance. I mean, he only hits me with the microphone like once or twice a tour. And he regrets it when he does! But it's fun watching him, and it's just not in my nature to do that. I suppose if it was up to me, we'd wear black suits and sunglasses and just stand there and play. Oh man, he definitely gets dressed in the closet with the light off." -- Joe Perry

"Steven and I stood on the stage at the Boston Garden after the Stones had just
played there and the stage was still up. We had been playing cards, maybe a
high-school dance, to 400 or 500, maybe a thousand. We just stood on the stage
and thought, 'Well, man, maybe someday.' In 4 years that was OUR stage." -- Joe Perry

-- Tom Hamilton

"I remember when Joe left, he gave an interview that really hurt me. He said,
'Aerosmith is not ready for the Eighties.' That hurt. It hurt because he was right.
I thought about that on New Year's Eve, when we were playing this great gig at
home in Boston. It was my birthday, and I was thinking that Aerosmith is a band
ready for the Nineties. We have a future now. For a while we didn't have one. It's
one hell of a nice thing to have." -- Tom Hamilton

(About Aerosmith's first gig) "Steven and Joe had an argument the first night about Joe playing too loud, and so began an Aerosmith tradition." -- Tom Hamilton

"Its cool when I meet young guys from other bands who say how much an impact
Aerosmith has had on them and how much they like me.I'll give 'em that 'C'mon you
don't mean that' routine, but in my heart I know where they're coming from. If I had
grown up in the '70's and was into rock n' roll, I know the kind of impact Aerosmith
would have had on me. I know the kind of impact that Elvis and Jagger had on me,
and while I'm not comparing myself to those guys, I can relate." -- Steven Tyler

"A lot of bands have managed to borrow parts of our style for their music. That's fine with me, because we've borrowed from people like the Stones. But we don't want to sound like we're copying anyone, including ourselves, so we're moving on."
