Previously, Aerosmith had been saying that their new record would be released next May (presumably to tie-in with the finale of American Idol, where frontman Steven Tyler is a judge). But, according to Tyle, the album might be available a little bit earlier.
“Two months doing that and we’re almost there,” Tyler told Rolling Stone backstage at the iHeartRadio festival in Las Vegas. “We’re gonna spend another month in L.A.”
When asked about a release date for the album (the band’s first of original material since 2001), he said, “
March, hopefully.”
At the Vegas fest, held last weekend, Tyler performed with guitar god Jeff Beck, playing songs made famous by The Kinks and Sly and the Family Stone. So, can fans expect more from Beck and Tyler?
“The rest is yet to reveal,” Tyler said. “If I had my way, I’d say yes. We did ‘Cry Me a River’ and an Etta James song. [We] went to rehearsal to learn these four songs. Two we knew and we just wound up filling in the breaks with all kinds of crazy stuff.”
