Christina Fuoco-Karasinski of LiveDaily spoke with Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton. Excerpts from the interview follow below.

LiveDaily: What's it like to be working with Brendan O'Brien on new material?

Hamilton: He's somebody we've wanted to work with for a long time. He actually mixed our "Get a Grip" album. The guy works at lightning speed, so he's got very close tolerances with his schedule. We did about eight weeks of pre-production, including about two weeks with Brendan. We did have a date we were aiming to go down to New York and go in the studio, but we just got delayed a bit. Steven [Tyler, singer] had sort of a pneumonia thing. I don't know if it was pneumonia or a bad bronchial infection, but it was enough to sort of screw up the schedule. We decided to put the album aside and go into getting-ready-for-the-tour mode.

LiveDaily: So it was going well with Brendan?

Hamilton: Well, yeah, we got a bunch of stuff done. We worked really fast and concentrated really hard, piled up a bunch of really great arrangements for some of these originals we want to record. We've got that on ice. It's ready for us to continue polishing it and finishing it and getting it ready to record.

LiveDaily: When do you plan on going back in the studio?

Hamilton: It would probably be some time in the fall unless the tour gets extended. We'll either put it off again or just do the crunch and try to get it done at the same time.

LiveDaily: Describe the songwriting process for the new album.

Hamilton: Some songs evolve from jams. But everybody has a pile of riffs. As far as this album goes, it's hard to predict how that's all going to come down. Speaking for myself, I've been bearing down pretty hard on just becoming more of a rounded, self-contained entity, where I can write songs, and, if they don't appeal to Steven as tracks, I can think of my own vocal ideas. I've been working really hard on that. But my scenario is to get in the studio with the band and just see what shakes out. We didn't have enough time to cover stuff that everybody wants to work on. Hopefully we'll get back to that and everybody will have a chance to pipe up.

The recording process for a new Aerosmith album?

Hell...that's easy!
1) get Jack Douglas
2) book The Warehouse & The Record Plant recording studios
3) pretend it's 1976 again
4) produce their best record since Rocks!!!!!

If only it was really that easy!... Very Happy
