Hot Shot
The Boston Globe
July 11, 2005
When the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade's annual Fancy Foods Show continues today in New York, Aerosmith's Joe Perry will be there. No, Perry's not playing, he's promoting -- his collection of hot sauces. Believe it or not, his Rock Your World Boneyard Brew and Rock Your World Mango-Peach Tango are both up for food awards. Sounding more like Mario Batali than Yngwie Malmsteen, the guitarist tells PR Newswire that his sauces are hot, yes, but also subtle. ''There are plenty of sauces out there that will blow your brains out; I wasn't interested in that," Perry said. He rejected any suggestion that he's merely taking credit for someone else's work. ''The bottom line is that I won't put my name on anything -- from a Les Paul guitar to a hot sauce -- that I don't personally use."
