Aerosmith Recording A Concept Album
. "We're going back to the rawness. There's something special about the vintage Aerosmith vibe, and that's what we have here. It's got that '70s feel and sense of humor. It's a bit of a concept album � there's a theme running through it, but I can't really talk about that right now. But to get that edge and spirit, it made sense to capture tracks live with the band playing all out. "The way Pandora's Box is set up, we can get that. It's a gorgeous room that was designed by John Storyk, and the board was designed by Jay Messina and myself. It's 24 tracks of Neve broadcast modules, eight tracks of API, eight tracks of old Focusrite, and then PAD built a custom eight-buss for us. So they all speak to one another. It's just like having one board � we call it 'Frankenstein.' I had a lot of my gear and my mics sent over to the place. "Pandora's Box really allowed me to record the band like I did in the '70s. We'd sit in the production office and start with the germ of a song � just acoustic guitars and some basic ideas � and then we'd take that and go into a rehearsal room. In that room, we have small amps and keyboards, and we'll record everything we do there into my laptop. After that, once it's right, we'll take it into the big room and record it. If we need to make changes, we'll make them later." Read the full interview and find out who Steven is working with on lyrics for the album here.
