Joe Perry is currently touring the country with his legendary band Aerosmith, but that doesn’t mean he has no free time.
So, when a certain ex-Beatle invites you into the studio, you make time.
“I did a [recording] session with Paul McCartney a month and a half ago for a private thing,” Perry said in a phone conversation earlier this week with the Chicago Sun-Times based around his upcoming book release. “I met him once or twice [over the years] to say hello. To spend six or eight hours in studio with him recording! He makes you feel like [you’re recording with just another guy]. He just happens to be a motherf—king huge talent! Everyone’s in the room at once; you play until you get a good take.”
Perry also revealed that Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp were in on the session, though he remains tight-lipped on what exactly the sessions were for.
As Perry says, we’ll “know when the timing is right.”
The Aerosmith guitarist’s book, Rocks: My Life In and Out of Aerosmith is out this fall.
