It looks like a lot more rock stars are jumping on the electronic music bandwagon. First, it was Paul McCartney, now it's Aerosmith's Steven Tyler. Who's next?
In an recent interview with Rolling Stone, Steven goes as far as saying that he is a huge Skrillex fan and recently ate lunch with Deadmau5. In fact, Tyler was so impressed with Joel Zimmerman he went on to say "[Deadmau5]'s got incredible ideas for his next tour – blew me away, what he's gonna do. He's a single guy. He makes all the money himself when he puts the mouse head on, so he's got a ton of money. He knows where to take it, and he's still relevant. So it was a sick dinner, it was fucking unreal. I want to go out and explore things . . . I really want to take a little risk here and do something solo."
By "solo," Steven means he's now on to making his first solo album. In speaking about his previous experience with electronica he references Stockhausen about whom wikipedia says: "He is known for his ground-breaking work in electronic music, aleatory (controlled chance) in serial composition, and musical spatialization."
Steven further states he has "weird fucking music" he'd like to produce. We hope he's being sincere with the "weird" and not simply recreating the sound of commercial electronic music that is out there now. Steer towards Deadmau5, Steven, it may be a better choice.
