Is Joe Perry the worst interview subject ever?

Post by Hair I Go Again »

Normally, I don't like it when people who type up interview transcriptions leave in conversational fillers, but whoever transcribed these Joe Perry quotes deserves a gold fucking star (you know):

I think my favorite quote is this one: "I’m not gonna keep the calendar empty just for that, you know? You never know."

Joe looked cool as fuck, but recently I wondered if that was the only reason that he and Steven were the faces of the band. While Steven is charisma personified, Joe might be the most boring dude ever. I tried reading his book and it was a boring as everything he says when he talks.

Was just going to post that. His book was terrible.

It's absolutely idiotic to contend Zep weren't A-listers in the 1970s.

The biggest problem here is that he's still being interviewed.

Solution: let him look cool and don't ask his opinion on anything.

I dunno about that. Keith's mumbling and pirate persona carries him through. If he says "Hrmp, yknow, go down the pub for a pint and rampump th damkred shurmmmurmm kamash, y'know?.................hahahahahahah!", you can only come away with "That guy's just fuckin rock n roll"

Joe is the rock star and Brad is the musician.

I actually liked the book but it kinda filled a few holes in the narrative for me.
