The Aerosmith and YUNGBLUD Collaboration Marks New Era

Project Details Information

First New Aerosmith Music In Over 12 years

Joe Perry and Aerosmith have venturing into fresh creative territory with their December 2025 collaborative EP “One More Time” featuring rising artist YUNGBLUD (whose real name is Dominic). This five-track EP marks Aerosmith‘s first official release in over a decade and features frontman Steven Tyler alongside the British musician.

The collaboration emerged after Perry received an email from YUNGBLUD, leading to an unexpected but exciting partnership.

Joe Perry Reflects on The Beatles and Rolling Stones Influence

In a recent December 2025 interview, Joe Perry opened up about his deep admiration for rock’s pioneering legends, particularly The Beatles. “They were together for maybe eight years, but God, they turned the world upside down,” Perry stated, emphasizing how impressive their impact was despite their relatively brief lifespan as a band.

Perry marveled at The Beatles’ live performances, noting: “They had no monitors, but when you listen to the recordings it’s so damn good. It was stunning how good The Beatles were live.” This perspective showcases how Perry approaches musicianship—valuing raw talent, simplicity, and performance authenticity over modern production techniques.

“So The Beatles stopped touring, and so did the Stones for a time. But then the Stones said, ‘Well fuck this, we’re gonna go out and keep playing.'”
