As Aerosmith work toward the November 6 release of their 15th studio album, “Music From Another Dimension,” the band is aware that the project marks the end of their current deal with Columbia Records.
Billboard reports that during a conference call with reporters on Thursday, the group was asked whether the band would consider self-releasing future projects.
“If the band stays together, yeah, we'll definitely go that route, something somewhere over there,” said Steven Tyler. “We've been keeping record companies stocked with millions of shekels for years, been making a lot of people rich -- not that we haven't, but every now and then you get into arguments with labels (and) you think, 'Where is all this money going?' We've definitely thought of putting stuff out. I was very successful last year with a (single) called 'It Feels So Good.' It proves it can happen."
While Aerosmith will go on a full-scale world tour next year, Tyler also promised that he plans to make a solo album next, but assured "that don't mean the band's breaking up. It means I'll divert a little and have some fun with other people."
