In 2007 late Classic Rock writer Peter Makowski hooked up with Aerosmith as they prepared to play their first UK shows in almost a decade. Events did not go according to plan... much like his previous encounters with the Toxic Twins, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry.
London, Tuesday, February 20, 2007, 11.35pm. Me, photographer Ross Halfin, Aerosmith tour manager John Bionelli and – oh yeah – Joe Perry and Jimmy Page are sitting at a table in Nobu, one of the trendiest chi-chi nightspots in the capital. A place where über celebrities and icons can relax and two rock behemoths can play catch-up and generally indulge in some muso conviviality without the threat of taterazzi flashbulbs or autograph-hunting eBay entrepreneurs.
