More quotes by Joe Perry
I think that... the age of just slapping songs into movies, that's done.
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
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
I don't need to speak...I play the guitar!
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 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
For me, L.A. was, and is, a very creative place to be.
Joe Perry
I don't think there's anything anybody's doing that the Beatles didn't at least try at some point.
Joe Perry
Describing certain sounds, there's a common language that guitar players have.
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
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
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
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
I love to listen to the music that first inspired me - I get that fresh feeling back.
Joe Perry
I've come to realize that you live on through recordings they're like a musical diary, a window into somebody's soul.
Joe Perry
A band isn't a band unless they're playing together. Otherwise it's just five guys that are living off their royalty checks.
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
