Tune in to the "CBS Evening News with Katie Couric" on Thursday, September 11 to see AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry and his son Roman talking about "Guitar Hero: Aerosmith". The show airs from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Eastern and Pacific.

Although AEROSMITH has yet to officially begin recording its new album, Perry has told Spinner.com that some of the new songs may be made available in a more unconventional means prior to a proper release: via "Guitar Hero: Aerosmith". "We'll probably release some of the music from our new record as a download so kids can plug it in and play some new tunes on the game," Perry said.

AEROSMITH is expected to enter the studio at the end of September to begin work on the follow-up to 2004's all-covers collection "Honkin' on Bobo". The band's last album of original material was "Just Push Play" in 2001.

AEROSMITH frontman Steven Tyler recently told the band's official fan site, AeroForceOne.com, that the new material will not deviate from the band's signature sound. "[It will be] just your usual AEROSMITH. You can't tame it; rocking-out, in-your-face music," he said.
