Joe Perry Says They Gave Fans What They Asked For With Last Album

(Classic Rock) Aerosmith's Joe Perry says 2012 album Music From Another Dimension is one of the best records the band ever recorded. Last month, bandmate Tom Hamilton said "fans didn't do their homework" on the album, the follow-up to 2004's Honkin' On Bobo, but Perry says circumstances were against them, which meant the record didn't get the promotional push it deserved.

He tells Yahoo Music: "I thought Music From Another Dimension was one of the best records we'd done in years, because it was the record that fans seemed to have been asking for.

"Over the last 20 years, we'd get requests like, 'Why don't you make a record like the old ones?' I think we got back to the real deal with the last record, but circumstances being what they were, it never got the push from the label.

"We had this whole promotion set up with the G.I. Joe movie, but I got a call from Paramount saying, 'We're pulling the movie for six months,' so the whole promotion thing was pulled right from under us. At the same time, the president of Sony went to Universal two weeks before the album came out. If that isn't a setup for a bad opening, I don't know what is."
