Aerosmith frontman and new "American Idol" judge Steven Tyler said in a recent interview with Rolling Stone that he is ready to begin working on a new Aerosmith album, as soon as he can find Joe Perry. "I'm trying to rally the guys together," he says. "We're having trouble getting Joe (Perry). I don't know where he is, but just come down to L.A. at the end of January sometime. I've had enough downtime."
Tyler and Perry began working on a follow-up to the 2001 set, "Just Push Play," several years ago with producer Brendan O'Brien, but the work was halted when old tensions re-surfaced.
"As far as Joe goes, look, the guy's got LSD - Lead Strummer Disorder," Tyler told Rolling Stone. "We've been brothers forever. He's just going through his thing. I think the rings of Saturn are composed entirely of unrecorded Joe Perry licks floating around in the ether somewhere."
