It’s been 35 years since Aerosmith unleashed their best-selling fourth album, Rocks. Earlier this week Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer celebrated the anniversary by convening to discuss the album for syndicated radio program “In The Studio” with host Redbeard.The band used the in-depth interview to speak honestly about the songs, the personalities, and the drugs and alcohol that shaped the Rocks sound. They talked, too, about their modern-day projects and how they’ve evolved together for the better.
Reflecting back on the period when the band recorded Rocks, drummer Joey Kramer said, “We didn’t even know that what we were doing was later going to be called hip. We were doing what we were doing because we didn’t see any reason not to do it. From the day we put this band together, the one common denominator that we all had [is that] we wanted to be what we are today.”
