So I hear Joe has his own solo album out. I haven't heard any songs from it yet but I'm still excited for him. At least someone from Aerosmith is doing something music related.
Has anyone heard anything else about this album? Is it any good, like worth the $15 at Best Buy good? :huh: _________________ Vaccum cleaners may look fun, but are deadly sex toys. as are certain vegetables like, terri schiavo -Powtaz |

[b]QUOTE[/b] ( Metal Sludge Review) | JOE PERRY Joe Perry
by Clifford Junior Newsted
Cover: 8 Guitarists Gone Solo out of 10
The simplicity of the cover shot of Joe rockin out is just so cool. Joe standing in a red background with Joe Perry written above the shot of of the Toxic Twins. No frills --just Joe selling you a solo release. Less can be more.
Booklet: 7 Bone Yards out of 10
The booklet features several shots of Mr. Perry, taken by one of the best rock n roll photographers Ross Haflin. It opens up and has four panels. Its got the words Joe Perry extended throughout the booklet in glossy lettering on the papers matte finish. Very cool looking. Unfortunately there are no lyrics, which is the only downside of this booklet. All the other stuff youd expect is in there.
Songs: 8 Honkers on Bobo out of 10
As stated in the DVD portion of this dual disc, by Joe himself. Hes not a singer, hes a guitarist first. Dont expect Joes singing to be compared with Steven Tylers. He doesnt give him a run for his money. Joe is a better singer than his contemporaries though, better than Keith Richards, better than Joe Walsh, better than Satriani and definitely better than Ronnie Wood. Enough said in the vocal department. Joe has mixed it up quite a bit on this record. Youll hear a variety of tracks and while they arent in the vein of Aerosupply, they dont stray too far from what you think hed deliver on a solo outing. Personally, the best track on the record is the opener Shakin My Cage, a crunchy, contemporary boogie track, Cant Compare is a mellower track, its catchy and probably the track that best showcases Joes pipes, Push Comes to Shove is another favorite of mine, again Joe shows off what he has going on vocally, two tracks that I cant go without mentioning are the instrumentals Twilight and Mercy Joe throws the rule book out the window and truly shines on both of these numbers!
Comments: Maybe 13 tracks is a tad too many. 10 would have done the job just as well. The dual disc version offers the most bang for your buck, featuring a informative documentary on the making of Joe Perry. You can play the entire record on your DVD player and hear it in 5.1! In addition to that, you can also play around with mixes of a number of tracks using the Umixit program that is in the DVD portion of this release. Listen, Joe isnt the best singer, but he is one hell of guitarist and songwriter, and this solo record demands to be heard. I, for one, would love to hear what he has up his sleeve for the next one. Lord knows this has more punch than the last two Aerosmith records combined.[/quote]
I might pick it up, when I get the money. The Hollywood Rocks box set will probably be first, though. Review taken from here _________________ "I care about people as much as I care about lawn furniture" - Dexter/Michael C. Hall |
