Aerosmith have recently extended their Rockin' the Joint tour by 5 weeks. They have been touring with Lenny Kravitz since October, but Cheap Trick will be supporting them from 3/2 on.

After their tour, in late spring, they will start on their next album. Here's what the band had to say.

Stephen Tyler: "It's going to be just like what the White Stripes are doing, and like a couple of songs on Sheryl Crow's new album. You'll listen to it and be like, 'I've heard that before' -- but you never did."

Joe Perry: "I want to take elements of those experimental things like we did on [2001's] Just Push Play. I always start with bits and pieces, and hopefully they inspire other people to throw things in. I have stuff that I didn't put on my solo record [2005's Joe Perry] that may be up for grabs."
