It’s nice to get those things, like this award, but tomorrow if I want to keep doing this I have to sit down, spend two or three hours playing my guitar and try discover something new in there. “We got the gold record, now what? We gotta do it again.” And then it dawns on me, everybody deals with this, where you have some kind of success and you realize it’s about the journey, it’s not about the destination.
And when we got our first gold record it was like the next thing. But I know one of the things in Aerosmith and Steven was like, “Gotta get a gold record.” And that’s what drove us through the hard times. I’m constantly striving to reach some kind of level. And it’s pretty early on, to me anyway, that I realized it’s a journey. Perry: I learn from everybody, I learn from watching my kids play, I learn all the time. I think it has to do with being the last man standing.īaltin: Are there moments where you found yourself getting close to that Jimmy or Jeff sound? Steven and I have a joke, we talk about it all the time, being the last band standing. Again, Les gave us a tool that gives us a voice so to get an award with his name on it it’s a real honor. I don’t sound like that?” There’s a lot more that goes into it. It was like the gold standard and finally, when I was able to have one in my hands, the same vehicle that I saw Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page using, first thing you do is realize, “I’m playing the same guitar, how come. Cause you think about these things, especially when I wrote the book and I’m thinking back to when I first saw a Les Paul, first heard a Les Paul, and, to me, that was tantamount to an electric guitar, that was it. So anyway, the fact that’s got his name attached to this award, believe me, I never thought that would be possible. He’s just an amazing guy, to be a musician, performer and technician, just brilliant.
He’s arguably one of the most influential inventors of this last century, right up there with Leo Fender. Joe Perry: It’s like anything that has to do with Les Paul. Steve Baltin: What does it mean to you to be getting an award named after Les Paul? Perry spoke to me about the contrast between the two bands, the guitarists whose licks he borrows and the early days of Aerosmith. But he also has the start-up band with supergroup the Hollywood Vampires, the band he founded with Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp. Get tickets here.He still has the machine, which he calls the “mothership,” and which is heading out on tour in May.
