VIDEO: Aerosmith’s Brad Whitford offers holiday greetings

Aerosmith guitarist Brad Whitford has recorded a holiday message for fans.

The video was filmed as the Boston band was wrapping up their recent tour of Japan.

The trip included 7 shows in Japan, and was preceded by a tour of South and Central America.

In sync with the tour came the release of the 35th anniversary edition of Aerosmith’s iconic 1976 album, “Rocks.”

The two-CD set features the entire album, plus assorted rarities and live tracks from the era.

The band’s fourth album, "Rocks" was a commercial success for the Boston band, with three singles charting on the Billboard Hot 100, two of which reached the Top 40 ("Back in the Saddle" and "Last Child"). The record was also one of the first albums to ship platinum when it was released; it has since gone quadruple platinum.

A new Aerosmith album – their first of original material in 10 years – is expected next spring.
