Steven Seaweed of 107.7 The Bone, the San Francisco Bay Area's rock station, conducted an interview with legendary AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry on October 14, 2009. Watch the chat in eight parts below. AEROSMITH played their first shows since early August, when an injury to singer Steven Tyler ended the band's summer tour, on Sunday (October 18) in Honolulu and Tuesday (October 20) in Maui, Hawaii. The Maui gig was done partly to settle a class-action lawsuit filed by enraged fans when the band canceled a 2007 concert there. The shows come during a tense time for the veteran act, with Joe Perry claiming in recent interviews that Tyler has not spoken to the rest of the group since breaking his shoulder in a fall from a stage in Sturgis, South Dakota two months ago.Perry, who released a solo effort called "Have Guitar, Will Travel" earlier this month, has indicated in current interviews that Tyler is holding up AEROSMITH's future plans, including the recording of a new album. Perry told the Associated Press that Tyler has "got to get his act together."The Honolulu Advertiser saw no sign of tension between Tyler and Perry on Sunday night, adding that Tyler "took every chance to sidle up next to Perry . . . and declared he 'loved' the guys in the band. If there was any discomfort between the two, or any of the band, it didn't show on stage or in the music."Perry will hit the road next month in support of his CD, taking along his JOE PERRY PROJECT touring band.Newly announced Joe Perry tour dates (subject to change):
Nov. 10 - New York, NY - Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza
Nov. 11 - Sayreville, NJ - Starland Ballroom
Nov. 14 - Boston, MA - House of Blues
Nov. 15 - Clifton Park, NY - Northern Lights
