bassist Tom Hamilton says the band may dip into its vast archive of unreleased material for a new album in the near future. During a recent interview with Newark, New Jersey’s Star-Ledger, Hamilton states that Aerosmith has wanted to open up the archives for a long time but a few hurdles have prevented them from doing so. “That’s something we really want to do. I know I’d see something like the Led Zeppelin DVDs and say, “Man, we should do that!” But record contracts can limit what you do. When we fulfill our Columbia contract with a new studio album, we will have the freedom to explore all sorts of options,” Hamilton says. “If we have a couple of new songs we’re excited about, we can put them up on our website so people can hear them without waiting until we have a full album. And we can go way back into our archives, and relate the past to what we do now,” he adds.
