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.

More quotes by Joe Perry
Aerosmith is such a powerful band I mean, it's like a steam locomotive.
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
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
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
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 never envisioned what I was doing as part of a career.
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
There was a time I thought I couldn't enjoy rock 'n' roll unless I had heroin in me
Joe Perry
Get good live and get a following because that's what people notice.
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
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
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
You don't throw clothes away, because you know it's going to come back in fashion!
Joe Perry
I don't need to speak...I play the guitar!
Joe Perry
A lot of people don't listen to the albums. They just listen to the singles.
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 have always been fascinated with guns. I grew up in America so granted, it is part of our heritage and it is written into the laws of how this country is run.

Take life on life's terms - one day at a time. And have fun while you're doing it.
