Sometimes when a record's done, I'm satisfied and I won't listen back to it for a while 'cause I'm usually pretty tired of the songs. Then I've got to learn them again to play them live, and sometimes it takes a while to realise it's a really good record. Joe Perry backgoodhave share on social

Every time I get in front of an audience, I do the best I can. I really don't look at it like, you know, 'This is gonna be this crowd, or that crowd.' If anything, I think about the demographics only because of what songs will entertain more than others. Joe Perry audiencecrowddemographic share on social
A band isn't a band unless they're playing together. Otherwise, it's just five guys that are living off their royalty checks. Joe Perry bandcheckguy Change image and share on social
The Beatles had some juice when it came to distortion, but Clapton was finally able to break through those early studio engineers' fear of overloading. He defined the sound that guitarists spend the rest of their lives trying to get. Joe Perry beatlesbreakclapton share on social
