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.

More quotes by 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
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
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 don't think there's anything anybody's doing that the Beatles didn't at least try at some point.
Joe Perry
I think that... the age of just slapping songs into movies, that's done.

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
Get good live and get a following because that's what people notice.
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 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 love to listen to the music that first inspired me - I get that fresh feeling back.
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
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
Take life on life's terms - one day at a time. And have fun while you're doing it.
Joe Perry
For me, L.A. was, and is, a very creative place to be.
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 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
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.
