Aerosmith completed its co-headlining tour with Motley Crue in December and after a brief holiday break will head to the studio to record a new CD. It will be their first studio album since 2004’s “Honkin’ on Bobo.”
In addition to material from outside songwriters, they also are looking in their archives.
“There’s some stuff we left off certain records that we’ve been scratching our heads over why that happened,” guitarist Joe Perry said in a recent press release. “There’s also bits and pieces of things from ‘Honkin’ on Bobo’ that never got finished. We want to bring some of the elements of the experimenting we’ve done on the albums over the last few years and mash that in with that ‘Honkin’ on Bobo’ energy. Some songs are still two riffs and a chorus but they’re classic Aerosmith; a guitar riff and the vocals and the slammin’ rhythm section. Some of the material could have been written last week or 10 or 20 years ago. Some of it has bell-bottoms and big hair but it’s surprising how well it fits today’s playlists.”
This past year was a tough one for the band with bassist Tom Hamilton battling throat cancer and vocalist Steven Tyler having throat surgery and battling hepatitis C. Everyone’s healthy now, so the Boston bad boys are back in the saddle.
