Just returned from Boston where I hosted a one hour live national radio special with all 5 members of Aerosmith from Joe Perry's home studio. Aerosmith were always one of my all time favorite bands. As a kid I had the Live Bootleg poster on my wall, and here I am being personally selected by the band themselves to conduct this broadcast to announce their upcoming tour with Motley Crue. It is a night I will never forget and it all came down somewhat last minute. I flew to Boston 6/22 and went directly to Joe Perry's house. We pulled up to the gate and saw Joe doing some things around the yard. Joe is the only member of the band I really know from my satellite radio interview with him about a year ago. Joe pointed us to his studio (he has a great farmhouse with lot's of property) which was in the basement of his home. The last few band albums and his solo album were recorded here. It was about an hour before air time so he took me on a tour of the place showing me the studio and all his gear and guitars. "Joe Perry is giving me a tour of his place" is all I was saying in my head, only half absorbing what he was saying! The other guys showed up and I had a great time with all of them. Steven Tyler acted as if he'd known me for years and was really pleased they picked me for this moment. He said they listened to many tapes that were submitted but knew I was the right guy. Total honor to say the least! Steven joked with me on and off the air and was a blast to hang with, as were all the guys. So many things we discussed on and off the air (G&R, old Aerosmith songs, Joe Perry Project, Rock In A Hard Place, Whitford/St. Holmes, the next tour, etc), I was in my glory. Once we were on the air, the time went by in a second. We took live calls from all over the USA and the vibe was great. It's important to note that time was limited (50 minutes after commercials, plus music) so I didn't get to really do "my" style interview, but the response was great and hopefully we can do that interview somewhere down the road. I'll share more stories on the air. A sincere thanks to Joe (thanks for the hot sauce!), Steven, Brad, Tom and Joey for having me. Also thanks to Sal from Premiere Radio, John Bionelli and the entire Aerosmith crew and Bob Buchmann at Q104. A night I will never forget! Check out the photo on the site.
