AEROSMITH Still Walk It Their Own Way
Steve and Joe are sitting around just like two of the boys, sprawled across the cushioned seats of a Warner Bros, conference room and distractedly watching MTV. Occasionally, some particularly clever turn of a visual phrase catches their eyes, but most of the time, the channel is simply background noise to their planning and joking.
AEROSMITH Still Walk It Their Own Way

Steve and Joe are sitting around just like two of the boys, sprawled across the cushioned seats of a Warner Bros, conference room and distractedly watching MTV. Occasionally, some particularly clever turn of a visual phrase catches their eyes, but most of the time, the channel is simply background noise to their planning and joking. Altogether, it�s not an extraordinary sight, except that... Steve Tyler and Joe Perry are about the last two people you�d imagine wanting to share the same space. It wasn�t, after all, that long ago that the self-styled Mick and Keith of Boston�s hypersonic Aerosmith loudly, clearly, angrily and publicly parted company.
Yet here they are, the guitar slinger head to toe in his trademark black and the microphone twirler clad in the jewelry,
silks and intricate embroidery which have been unchanging hallmarks of his personal style. Friends again, bandmates again, collaborators again, partners in a newly-charged and revitalized Aerosmith —ready to reclaim their domain from recent usurpers like Ratt and Motley Crue with their first all-original-member album in almost seven years, Done With Mirrors.
