Aerosmith To Release New Music Via Guitar Hero?

As previously reported, rock legends Aerosmith are currently recording a brand new studio album. However guitarist Joe Perry states that the band may release new songs before release, via Guitar Hero:Aerosmith.

"We'll probably release some of the music from our new record as a download so kids can plug it in and play some new tunes on the game," Perry says.

One thing Aerosmith will keep a keen eye on is the master tapes. When frontman Steven Tyler wanted to include MOTT THE HOOPLE's 'All The Young Dudes' on Guitar Hero: Aerosmith as an homage to an early tour the two bands did together, he was in for a surprise. "I spoke to Ian Hunter and I said, 'Ian, where the fuck is that song?' And he goes, 'I don't know. The masters have been lost forever.'

"But what's really funny is we were talking to the White Stripes and some of their early recordings have gone missing," adds Joe Perry. "I guess that's kind of the last thing on your mind when you're trying to get your record out there. We never thought it would matter that much 30 years later."
