Perry quit the band in 1979 and Whitford walked out in 1981, both eventually to return to the fold. But then all of this is nothing new for Aerosmith. He seemed to be distancing himself from the band via a variety of side and solo projects, most notably a two-year run as a judge on American Idol. There was a point circa 2009 when it looked like Tyler might quit or get kicked out of Aerosmith entirely. Then, in 2010, Tyler brained Perry with a microphone onstage. That same year, Tyler fell off a stage, broke a shoulder, got addicted to painkillers as a result and had to undergo yet another stint in rehab. Brad Whitford suffered a nasty knock on the head in 2009 that required surgery to relieve pressure from internal bleeding. Joe Perry underwent knee replacement surgery in 2008.

The band was hobbled, literally, by a series of injuries all too inevitable for men entering or already in their sixth decade of life and still pounding rock and roll stages.

'Whatever the reason we were fighting, it was the dumbest shit on the planet.' - Steven TylerД«ut Music from Another Dimension! is an album that came very close to never being made at all. But you can certainly take that influence and use it when youвЂ™re doing new music. вЂњAll these years, theyвЂ™ve been saying, вЂWhy donвЂ™t you make a record that sounds like the old stuff?вЂ™ But like anything thatвЂ™s been around for 30 years, the classic Aerosmith stuff has acquired a certain patina. вЂњWe made the record that I hope people have been waiting for,вЂќ Perry says. Put that up against anything on Rocks or Toys in the Attic. Then go listen to вЂOut Go the Lights.вЂ™ I havenвЂ™t heard anybody do anything like that in a while. вЂњIf you want to hear rock and roll at its finest, just listen to JoeвЂ™s song вЂOh YeahвЂ™ on the new album. At age 62, he remains very much the archetypal rock guitar god. And perhaps more than any other member of Aerosmith, it is Joe Perry who carries that classic rock tradition with all the requisite attitude and swagger. Tyler himself has always been quite a piece of work, and so, in a way, is Music from Another Dimension! The album skews schizophrenically between schmaltzy over-produced Tyler ballads and plenty of the bone-crunching hard rock hookiness thatвЂ™s been AerosmithвЂ™s most glorious asset ever since they first came out of Boston in the early Seventies.
