Aerosmith ready to start new album

Steven Tyler is feeling better, so Aerosmith is ready to get back to work. The band has confirmed that they'll start work on their next album on Saturday (May 20th), which happens to be "Armed Forces Day" in the U.S. Tyler, who had tour-ending surgery on his throat earlier this year, said that was the perfect day for Aerosmith to reconvene, since "we're going in with guns ablazing!"

Tyler previously told us that he and lead guitarist Joe Perry have a pretty simple method for picking which tracks to work on: "The songs we pick out of the 20 or 30 songs we write for an album, we pick because I look at Joe and say, 'Hey, man, could you play that to the audience?' 'No.' 'Well, then let's not put it on the record.'"

Bassist Tom Hamilton told us that the album is being targeted for release in September, when Aerosmith will go back out on the road.
