Joe Perry weighed in on the state of Aerosmith during an interview with the music trade publication Billboard, attributing recent problems to one member, saying "...at this point the four band members are willing not to play for a while until the fifth member gets it together and decides to come and join us again." Without mentioning Steven Tyler by name, the guitarist left little doubt about who he was talking about.  He said things began going in the wrong direction well before the ill-fated tour of this year, and laid some of the blame on the tendency to take fans for granted, saying bands owe fans "a lot, and when you start taking them for granted it's just wrong."  Amen to that.
