Aerosmith's Joe Perry on His Jekyll and Hyde Relationship with Steven Tyler
Written by Marc Parker and Melissa Benefield Parker, Posted in Articles Musicians
In a 2014 interview with Smashing Interviews Magazine, Aerosmith lead guitarist Joe Perry was asked to describe his relationship with longtime bandmate Steven Tyler.
