Aerosmith guitarist Brad Whitford says the band have considered touring without frontman Steven Tyler.
The singer has been in Nashville working on his upcoming solo country album since last year. And when asked if they could hit the road with a guest vocalist, Whitford says it’s something the band have discussed.
He tells Metal Rules: “Absolutely, we have considered it – but whether it will happen I don’t know. I think it would be great.”
Tyler’s side-project has been a bone of contention amongst his Aerosmith bandmates, as it resulted in them cancelling most of their 2016 tour plans, according to the guitarist.
Whitford, who’ll release Reunion from his collaboration with former Ted Nugent Band singer Derek St Holmes next month, admits their studio sessions felt “like a vacation” from Aerosmith as they work so well together.
He adds: “We both have ideas that we kick around and bring to the table. We are able to pull together all these ideas very quickly. Several of the songs were written together on the first day of the recording session. It’s not tedious and we keep it moving all the time – it’s quite fun actually.”
Reunion can be pre-ordered via iTunes.
Whitford-St Holmes will kick off a tour with Whitesnake next month.
