Joe Perry along with the Hollywood Vampires (Johnny Depp, Robert DeLeo, Glen Sobel and Brad Whitford) perform "Combination" live at the 2017 NAMM TEC Awards held at The NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA.
Rocks will always be the pinnacle for Aerosmith. Such a perfect hard rock album. Every song on that album is amazing. Combination is easily my all-time favorite Aerosmith song.
Agreed. Rocks flat out ROCKS!! Sorry all you Toys In The Attic fans but Rocks is their best album. No fluff. No filler. Just 100% unambiguous, unadulterated, unfiltered, unapologetic, unfettered ROCKANDROLL
Nobody could come up with kick ass riffs like Joe Perry. He is right up there with Iommi and the Slash took the torch from Joe but Joe continued to keep riffing. Great guitarist. One of my all time favorites
When I was a kid I had all those Aerosmith records, loved this song. At that time I didn't appreciate what a great singer Steven was because all I could hear is Joe's guitar playing. He's the reason I learned to play guitar, he was my guitar hero. My first song was Dream On. I'm still dreaming and have had a lot of fun playing guitar over the years. It was very cool to hear Joe sing lead on this song back then too, and even more cool to hear him again all these years later. Thanks Joe!
such goodclyrics then i almost wonder even tho he is just as good a guitarist what if Keiths voice were singing this..hes got a nice voice yet not Aerosmith. When someone is that good as Joe, it gets yu thinking Just great great...
I could listen to Joe and Brad play all night long. I'm not too crazy about Joe singing, only because he doesn't have range. But, I still enjoyed this video.
Yeah man, it's like Tyler playing a guitar lead. It wouldn't quite work. I'm afraid it would sound like me. I've been playing since March. Leave the vocals to Tyler.
I agree. He knows he's gonna get criticized. But its honest, and real. Lyrically, musically as good as any rock song ever wrutten. No wonder this guy was a million kids' hero. He was just the balls.
considering its a harmony, I think this was just a sound check? Steves in the green room lighting incense, rubbing buddha's balls, and drinking licorice tea getting his mojo right...
@@deandee8082 What are you talking about man, it's an awards ceremony with a full audience in clear view! Plus it's a Vampires show not Aerosmith, so no Steven anywhere in the vicinity!
such a cool song, and the crowd is very civilized ... when the opening riff of the song started I would have lost my shit completely screaming out of amazement because it's so badass ...
The group of Hollywood vampires is unique by their guitar different tones. Joe Perry is very good as the leading guitar... together with Johnny Depp and the other combibation of guitarists and the ensemble is fenoumenal sounds
I actually don’t mind Joes voice, it’s a more bluesy kind of style. I think it works well for combination. Imagine him singing Falling Off now though. I wonder
Without Tyler this version just doesn't work. It's brilliant how Tyler knew how to polish it up to it's full potential. The version on Rocks is amazing
Same reason David Lee Roth sings instead of Eddie Van Halen, Gregg Rolie sang instead of Carlos Santana, Robert Plant sings instead of Jimmy Page, and why Ted Nugent SHOULD have someone else always singing for him! Guitar virtuosos may write great riffs, but they need someone who can sing to convey their ideas--and guitar heroes are usually bad singers
I like how Sinbad gives him proper respect as a Rock Star, a dying breed. There are only a few real ones left! They’re like the Siberian 🐅 Tiger. Rare and if you see one you’ve seen something special. Joe Perry, Keith Richards and a few others. But they are getting rarer than Hens Teeth! God, I love this song! It’s a deep cut from Rocks! One of the Greatest Hard Rock albums of all times! I don’t care that he’s not a great singer! It’s a great song! I forgot my name! And the Great Brad Whitfield who is so understated that he doesn’t get half the credit he deserves. They are great together and always were. Now Johnny Depp? I like him. Excellent Actor! What he’s doing on this stage, I’m not entirely sure about. Living the Rock Star Fantasy out, maybe? I tell you he’s much closer to it than you or I will ever get! He’s on stage jamming at least. I’m not going to say anything negative! Rock on, Johnny! Go for it!
Joe is a fuggen rock star, people don't talk about him much in the category butman he wa playing shit back in the early 70's no one was playing and it sounded GOOD too, kramer, whitford hamilton and tyler, FUGG MAn I was blown away, I think get your wings came out? 73, 74? man... fellas how bout some back up V man? leave Joe hangin like that, rutheless
I am looking forward to see depp and them live in this 2023 tour in the us I looking to see where and when in illinois they will be so I can go just live them all bug time oops but it's big time sorry beatles is bugs I live plus for real I hit wrong letter for this text sorry
Its for show. Much like Elvis Presley's guitar, Donnie Van Zant from 38 Special, and Kevin Cronin from REO Speedwagon. Just a prop to make them "look" like they're playing, but actually other guitarists are doing the work
@Nelson Robert Willis I never said KC was a bad guitarist--I just could never hear him over the thunder coming from the right of him onstage! Like his guitar wasn't plugged in at all, and he was just going through the motions out there with the guitar in his hands, because Gary was doing all the work for him
@Nelson Robert Willis But obviously you don't disagree with my assessment of Donnie Van Zant. He had two other guitarists doing all the work--38 Special always looked like a crowd of bikers on stage (two bass players, two drummers, three guitarists, etc)
I think Joe Perry is giving us a 1975-76 "twofer" here--the first melody sounds like "Uncle Salty" from "Toys", and then he launches into "Combination" from "Rocks". Both filler from the respective albums, and pretty inventive the way he put the two together, but its a treat you won't see Aerosmith have anywhere near their live set lists
If Gibson ever gives Johnny Depp his own signature guitar, I'm gonna snap! Why does he look like he's in severe pain!? Now, if he'd do another pirates of the Caribbean, I'd be the first to go see it. If Joe and Brad were onstage with Steven Tyler, I'd be the 1st in line to see them. But this, this is just a sad ol travesty.
3:30 minutes of garbage until we get to the real song then we hear joe try to sing ugghhh its been time to give it for along time now Joe Brad is the only real guitar player on that stage and we don’t even get to hear him over Joe’s dribble
Joe...Babe...Boobalah....you ain't a lead singer on this one. Never have been. You wrote it...can't sing it. And you look bad here. Get some sleep. Call Steven. He'll make you a health shake. These kids today....
I find most great lead guitarists make horrible lead singers. Have you ever heard Jimmy Page sing? You probably don't want to! Same with Eddie Van Halen, Carlos Santana, Keith Richards, Jeff Beck. There are a few exceptions--I've actually seen Neal Schon from Journey sing with Jan Hammer, not too shabby. But by and large, they write the riffs, and they just need let their guitars do the singing!
@Nelson Robert Willis I always thought Donald Roeser was Latino--he reminds me of Cheech Marin. Speak of REO Speedwagon, you also don't want to hear Gary Richrath sing! I did out of curiosity, one of the deep cuts on the "Ride In The Storm Out" LP (yuck!) However, Neal Schon from Journey is surprisingly good, heard his work with Jan Hammer--makes me wonder why he never sang lead before!
@Nelson Robert Willis ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8NZ_VjedFiE.html To me his singing is like an out of tune Leif Garrett. When I bought the album back in 1981, it was the first track I went to because on the back it said "vocal by Gary". And I said, "hmm, never heard him sing before. I wonder what he sounds like?". Then I realized why he never sang again. I didn't know about the other songs he sang from the Mike Murphy-era, and that's another sore subject. I don't know what they were high on when they brought in that loser after Kevin left the first time. His croaky voice was so bad, no wonder Gary had to rescue him! I think they realized the charisma they lost when Kevin left, and they had to go back and listen to that second album, and realize the formula for success was right there in 1972, but you notice you never heard from Mike Murphy again, and he ain't that country singer with the same name, either!
