Paul Rodgers is too English to front Aerosmith, thinks guitarist Joe Perry
February 4th, 2010 - 5:29 pm ICT by ANILondon, February 4 (ANI): Aerosmith’s Joe Perry thinks Queen frontman Paul Rodgers is too “English” to fit into the American band.
The guitarist revealed Rodgers had been considered to step into the shoes of frontman Steven Tyler while he takes a hiatus to recover from a recent stint in rehab.
“I mean, obviously that would be a thought, because he is one of my favourite singers of all time, and I got a chance to meet him at Classic Rock Awards (in London) a couple of months ago,” the Daily Express quoted Perry as telling Classic Rock magazine.
“But I think that him being English, from that earlier generation, I don’t think that it would work. I mean, it’s more than just somebody who can sing. We’re young kids to him. I just don’t think it’s the right chemistry.
“Technically, I know he’s got the chops - I mean, I know he can sing anything he wants - but I think that it’s a little bit more than just if he can sing the songs,” Perry added. (ANI)
