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
For me, L.A. was, and is, a very creative place to be.
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 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
There are guys in country music who are wizards on the guitar. If you're a country fan, you're used to it. But as a rock guitar player, you listen.
Joe Perry
Aerosmith is such a powerful band I mean, it's like a steam locomotive.
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
Take life on life's terms - one day at a time. And have fun while you're doing 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.
Joe Perry
I never envisioned what I was doing as part of a career.
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
The really pop country stuff can sound a little bland because they put in strings and horns and all of that.
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
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 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
I don't need to speak...I play the guitar!
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
A lot of people don't listen to the albums. They just listen to the singles.
Joe Perry
You don't throw clothes away, because you know it's going to come back in fashion!
Joe Perry
Describing certain sounds, there's a common language that guitar players have.
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
