I think Keith is clean these days..
Of course Joe Perry used to be great. They use outside writers now? Ewww...that's lame.."
I heard an interview with Keith and he had a "been there, done that" attitude towards dope, but admitted to "a little taste" now and then.
I used to be really into Aerosmith, and still like them up to about "Rocks", plus the blues covers album they did, and Joe Perry has written some great stuff, but they're just cranking out shit these days, and selling more records than ever. Go figure.
I used to work for Aerosmith's road manager from the "good old days", he had some good dirt on them. He died a year or so ago, I guess the coke caught up with him.
