Steven Tyler says that he’s “sure” the rest of Aerosmith isn’t happy with his decision to go country for his new solo album. “I’m sure they’re not happy,” he told Rolling Stone. “But Joe [Perry] has done five solo albums. I just thought, ‘Hey, it’s my turn in the barrel.’ This is a side project, which has now turned into a love of life,” he added. “I think we got something here that the radio would love to play. Look, that’s why I’m in it. I love to take the f-ing power to wow to the 100th degree. It’s just what I do.” Despite the bands misgivings, he says that A-Smitty is getting along together better than ever before. “There’s always the past, but we try and keep the past out of it. When Joe gets up in my s- about something, I say, ‘Don’t squat with your spurs on.’ It’s a band, and it’s a family. I’ll do it until I come screeching to a halt, all broken and battered and can’t stand up anymore. I’ll scream, ‘Yee-haw, what a ride!'” Copyright(c) 2015 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
