Arty-Fact: Joe Perry's work with Aerosmith has resulted in an unending array of accolades and honours. As a co-founding member, principal songwriter, electrifying lead guitarist and co-producer of Aerosmith, Joe Perry has achieved permanent iconic stature in the pantheon of rock. He has helped to drive his band, over three decades, to sales of more than 150 million albums, critical acclaim, four Grammy Awards (one of which includes the guitar-based instrumental "Boogie Man") and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Other key milestones over the past 35 years include 12 MTV Video Awards; two People's Choice Awards; six Billboard Music Awards; eight American Music Awards; 23 Boston Music Awards; and an Academy Award nomination for Best Song, "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" (from the soundtrack to Armageddon).
This shot of guitarist Joe Perry breathes with rock-and-roll energy. The photograph was taken in front of a specially rusted metal wall that reflected his personality.
