More quotes by Joe Perry
A lot of people don't listen to the albums. They just listen to the singles.
Joe Perry
Aerosmith is such a powerful band I mean, it's like a steam locomotive.
Joe Perry
Berry's On Top is probably my favorite record of all time it defines rock and roll. A lot of people have done Chuck Berry songs, but to get that feel is really hard. It's the rock and roll thing-the push-pull and the rhythm of it.
Joe Perry
I was very fascinated by the time when firearms went from being fire sticks to being something people could use to hunt and to survive.
Joe Perry
India brings out so many different feelings in me. I've been fascinated with India and Indian culture as long as I can remember - ever since the '60s with the Beatles and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
Joe Perry
The Beatles had some juice when it came to distortion, but Clapton was finally able to break through those early studio engineers' fear of overloading. He defined the sound that guitarists spend the rest of their lives trying to get.
Joe Perry
I think we're just a garage band that got lucky. It's the enthusiasm from the audience that keeps it going.
Joe Perry
I guess we all have a bad night now and then and really screw up. I listened to our earlier stuff and we screwed up a lot. But at least now that we are sober, when we screw up it's for real.
Joe Perry
I never envisioned what I was doing as part of a career.
Joe Perry
When I got sober and started working out, I fell into that trap of working out too much. I know a lot of guys can relate to that - if you don't get that runner's high every day, you feel like, 'Oh my God, I'm losing it.'
Joe Perry
There was a time I thought I couldn't enjoy rock 'n' roll unless I had heroin in me
Joe Perry
I think that... the age of just slapping songs into movies, that's done.
Joe Perry
Get good live and get a following because that's what people notice.
Joe Perry
If you take your last album & try to copy it, then thats sure to hell the way to stagnation. And that makes me bored...and if I'm bored then the music is boring and so are the band!
Joe Perry
I don't see anyone avoiding the Stones because DJs make jokes about them being a part of the Geritol set. All it does is make the DJs look stupid.
Joe Perry
Rhythm and sex go together and that's where I come from as far as the music goes. Rag Doll and Love In An Elevator are such sexual songs that you put them on & the strippers go NUTS!
Joe Perry
The Beatles did everything long before anyone else. They weren't afraid to try things and to experiment with a lot of sounds. In 200 years, when you look up 'rock and roll' in the dictionary, it'll have a picture of the Beatles next to it.
Joe Perry
I love to listen to the music that first inspired me - I get that fresh feeling back.
Joe Perry
I think that's really important, that kids get exposed to music as soon as they can - not necessarily to become musicians, but at least have an outlet. It's an art form that's easily accessible to young ears.
Joe Perry
I know that some of the great painters and some of the great artists didn't even start to 'peak', as you say, till they were in their fifties and sixties. And God knows, history is full of artistic people that weren't even recognized till they were dead and gone.
Joe Perry
