Aerosmith had overcome the barren years in which they limped on without Joe Perry and Brad Whitford, but what should have been their triumphant return, 1985’s Done With Mirrors (on which Perry and Whitford reunited with Steven Tyler, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer) was poorly received – even by the band.
“Done With Mirrors was not exactly a resounding success as far as we were concerned,” Perry tells Classic Rock. “Some people like that record and some people don’t. I don’t like it so much.”
