STP's Robert DeLeo on Aerosmith: “They Raised Me”

When it comes to rockin’ ’n’ rollin’, it doesn’t get more classic than Aerosmith. Guitarists Joe Perry and Brad Whitford have spent decades bouncing their riffs off each other, and these days they’re still at it with the Joe Perry Project. For this episode, we called up JPP bassist Robert DeLeo—best known as a Stone Temple Pilot—to talk about his longstanding relationship with Aerosmith, what it’s like to be on stage with 3/5th of Aerosmith, and learned why he calls Perry and Steven Tyler his uncles.Thanks to our SponsorLearn more! gibson.com
