The album "Sweetzerland Manifesto" marks his first solo LP in almost a decade since "Have Guitar, Will Travel".- About the new song, Joe Perry told Rolling Stone in an interview;
"Being friends and fans of each other for 40 years – Robin and I had always talked about writing together. I was in L.A. working on my newest solo record and Robin was in town with Cheap Trick and called me with an idea for a song. He sang the chorus over the phone which was all he had at the time. I dug it and said, 'Hell yeah, come on up.' This song turned out to be one of two tracks on the album I hadn't written the music for before. Robin came up to Sweetzerland and six hours later 'Aye, Aye, Aye' was born. The song moved along as fast as a ride on a Japanese bullet train. In fact, we were able to track it live that night." - source : Rolling Stone
