The Rock Dose

Aerosmith is preparing to enter the studio to record a new album. Tom Hamilton posted an update at Aeroforceone.com that said:

The big news is that we had our first meeting and strategy session with our producer Brendan O'Brien. We’ve been wanting to work with him for a while. The meeting came on the heels of the band all working together for the first two weeks. Things are moving along and it's now on the fast track. We had a day where we all got to listen to everyone's songs and ideas. In the next few weeks we'll be narrowing down what we've got.

You can read the rest of the update at Aeroforceone.com. The thing a lot of people are thinking about with Aerosmith these days is, do they really need to make another record. I used to love Aerosmith back in the day, but I honestly haven’t enjoyed an entire album of theirs since Permanent Vacation. Pump was alright, but everything after that started to seem like it had a more pop-ish approach and failed to really rock. Perhaps they have changed with the times instead of writing the same album 14 times like other classic rock bands, but I just haven’t been moved by Aerosmith in a long time.

On a side note, Tom Hamilton looks like death and Joey Kramer has been wearing that same vest for like 20+ years now. Much respect though.
