Joe Perry has told Yahoo! News that he would "really like to put some music together" with his AEROSMITH bandmates for a possible follow-up to 2012's "Music from Another Dimension!" album. "Steven [Tyler, vocals] and I have talked about it in general, because we both have things going on [Tyler released a country solo album in 2016], but I think there's some time we'll carve in there to get together," he said.

But sometimes it's really hard to reconcile people's differences, so sometimes you're going to talk to somebody." He added: "We haven't needed that for a while.

The lackluster response to the disc later caused two bandmembers — Perry and drummer Joey Kramer — to question whether there's any point in AEROSMITH making future albums. Perry's new solo album, titled "Sweetzerland Manifesto", was released on January 19.
