Well isn't that interesting. In a recent Rolling Stone interview, Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler gets to talking about an "itch" that he wants to scratch in the form of a solo album, and it looks like the sound of "electronica" is where he wants to go next:
"I've got this itch in me to do a solo record, and that's what I'm gonna do next. I've got some great people that want to get involved in it. It's early on right now, but that's the itch I got. I got that itch to do something that's a lot different than Aerosmith... I'm into electronica – I was when I used to listen to Stockhausen in '65. So there's just a lot of stuff – good, weird fucking music that I want to get off my chest."
When they asked him who he'd be looking to do a solo record with, a few interesting names came up:
"There's so much good stuff out there. I am a huge Skrillex fan. I went to lunch with Deadmau5 at Mel's Diner. He's got incredible ideas for his next tour – blew me away, what he's gonna do. He's a single guy. He makes all the money himself when he puts the mouse head on, so he's got a ton of money. He knows where to take it, and he's still relevant. So it was a sick dinner, it was fucking unreal. I want to go out and explore things . . . I really want to take a little risk here and do something solo. There's no timeline – I'm gonna start in January and see where we get by March."
Could we see the "Crazy" singer exploring EDM? What the hell would a Steven Tyler electronic album sound like?
