Aerosmith rabbit hole: "Train Kept A Rollin' " (a cover), "Movin' Out", "Lord Of The Thighs", "S.O.S. (Too Bad)", "No More No More", "Walk This Way" (the original), "Back In The Saddle", "Last Child", "Rats In The Cellar", "Combination", "Seasons Of Wither". That's a start.
I’m just happy I’ve seen them live a couple times in their prime and that Aerosmith is going out on their own terms. It sux but it’s worse when people start using more background vocals than normal and the true music gets lost. I have so much respect for them. I’m lucky to be from Boston and even got to see them when they did a pop up concert on the porch of their old house in Allston,Ma I took 2 trains to get there cuz so many streets were shut down then walked close to 3 miles. It was literally the chance of a lifetime. Aerosmith Forever
SPEAKING FOR COREY: "Oh My Gawd! I LOVED this! I know I've heard bits and pieces of this somewhere. But I've never heard the entire thing! I know I've heard that chorus in some movie. Yo, this was awesome for real! Now I've finally heard the whole song!
I grew up on Aerosmith of the 90s. You probably heard those songs before. Then one day, my pops was listening to a greatest rock songs countdown on the radio, and I heard this song. He told me who it was, and I didn’t believe him until he started screeching at the end. Then I picked up a couple of their earlier albums from the 70s and 80s, and I loved it. A different era for them, they really rocked back then. Songs like Same Old Song and Dance, Back in the Saddle, Mama Kin. Great stuff!
This song was the first one I ever heard by Aerosmith. Prior to that, I'd never heard of them. It blew my mind. What a vocalist. Stephen Tyler really made an impression on teenage me.
Yes, although it was edited down, I still enjoyed it. Many people react to their song, "Walk This Way" w/Run DMZ, but I hope you'll react to their orig version. S.T. is a good composer AND pianist.
Postmodern Jukebox covered this song with a female singer (Morgan James) and with a jazzy reinterpretation of it. And it works surprisingly well in that genre. Also the vocalist is out of this world. She nails it.
I’ve seen Aerosmith a few times. My husband has seen them all over many, many times. We saw them their first show back after 9/11 in Atlanta and it was epic! We are still holding our tickets for their last tour in October, which sadly, we can never use. Another legend removed from the field. Thank God we will always have the music. 🤟🏼
This clip was heavily edited 😫 Aerosmith is basically recognized by the duo of Steven Tyler (lead vocals) and Joe Perry (guitar)... they were dubbed the 'Toxic Twins' because of their excessive drug abuse in the 70's and frequent fights. However, the "less interesting three" (or "L.I.3") of Aerosmith were just as crucial for the band - Brad Whitford (guitar), Tom Hamilton (bass) and Joey Kramer (drums) ... helped define their sound. The public misconception is that Joe Perry is Aerosmith's lead guitarist and Brad Whitford is the rhythm guitarist... That was never the case. Joe Perry was the band's key composer/ songwriter but he and Brad Whitford are a twin lead guitar duo... Perry plays a raw, wild guitar, while Whitford is the technical master and brings cohesion to the guitar delivery.
Tyler’s father was a classical pianist, and young Tyler used to hang out underneath the grand piano when his father played. The intro guitar part is inspired by that.
Glad you did this right after the announcement of their immediate retirement due to Steven having irreparable throat damage to his vocal chords. (Sadly during their farewell tour). So nice to enjoy them one more time.
Please check out other 70's Aerosmith - Mama Kin - Chip Away at the Stone - Toys in the Attic - Sweet Emotions - Back in the Saddle - Kings and Queens - Last Child
I hate these short "radio" versions. So much more to this song! Regardless, great selection and reaction. Do yourselves a favor and listen to the album cut. You're welcome!
Aerosmith is a phenomenal band! With Steven Tyler as the front man, you can't miss! And Joe Perry on guitar!!! They have a TON on music! This was such an amazing album .. Toys In The Attic! All bangers! Soooo many great songs to go down the rabbit hole! ❤❤❤❤❤❤. I'd recommend another heavy lyric song by them... Janie's Got A Gun.
Aerosmith was my first love and the first album that I ever purchased was "Toys in the Attic", one of my favorite songs is "You See Me Crying." I've seen them so many times in concert at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, I can't count the times.
This is so very awesome! Aerosmith are beasts. Love your reactions! You need to check out I don't Wanna Miss a Thing that they did. It is in the movie Armageddon.
If you go down the rabbit hole, I recommend you look mostly at the older stuff. It's really when they were at their best, though I suppose it would also be interesting to see how they changed over the years. They are one of the few bands that had hits all the way from the 70s until, I think, the early 2000s. Other bands kept going, but only their real fans usually were aware of their later music. Somehow Aerosmith managed to stay relevant.
Definitely a fave of mine by Aerosmith. My favorite is "Kings And Queens" followed by "The Other Side" and "Janie's Got A Gun". Listen to "Stargazer" by the group Rainbow. Another rabbit hole to enter.
Gotta stop listening to edited versions of classic rock songs. Listen to an official lyric version or something, the slow build of this song is destroyed and it's missing the best lyrical verse.
Steven Tyler & Aerosmith are absolutely amazing. And Stevens voice he don't get enough credit for being such a vocalist. They have so many great songs. Love in an elevator, ragdoll, Sweet emotions, jaded, Don't want to Miss a thing. Etc Also Another band you should listen to is Poison with songs like, something to Believe in, every rose, your mama don't dance, nothing but a good time unskinny bop etc lead singer Bret Michaels has a great voice too.
Great great song! I’ve always thought that Steven Tyler and Carly Simon have similar ability to sing loudly without any help from a microphone…long power and talent have served them well in their careers…🎤🔥
I loved early Aerosmith. Not a fan of their 80s and 90s stuff but i dig their old stuff. React to Sweet Emotions by Aerosmith if you get.the chance. Incredible 70s song.
Great frontmen, Mick Jagger, Steven Tyler, Robert Plant, Roger Daltry (The Who), Freddie Mercury (Queen) and I always felt Peter Wolf from The J. Geils Band was very underrated. I’m sure I’m missing some other greats. Dig deep into this Rabbit Hole, especially their first three or four albums. Every song killed it!
This seems to be a video synched over the popular recording release. They were great but I think they lived pretty hard on the road and nobody can keep on at that level forever.
❤❤❤ Try "Sweet Emotion", "Rag Doll", "Livin' On The Edge", "Walk This Way", "Jaded", "Janie's Got A Gun", "Crazy", "Cryin' " and "Don't Want To Miss A Thing".
You just scratching the surface with Aerosmith so far. They have a pretty deep catalog and you can get their current flavor in just about any decade from 70's on. The Pump album in the late 80's is a good one, in the MTV days. Check out "What it takes" from that album. Maybe try Pink from the 90s. Jaded from the early 2000s. It's all aerosmith, but the flavors are distinct.
Not to bitch, but you should have just played the album version, it is complete. This version from "The Midnight Special" was edited. Y'all missed about two minutes of great music. Saw Aerosmith for the first time in 1975, about three weeks after their third album "Toys In The Attic" was released, and about ten more times up to 2001. America's greatest Hard Rock band.
Aerosmith was great until they got so high & drunk they couldn't finish concerts. Thier comeback was a remake of Walk This Way with Run DMC. Once sober they went on to give us a LOT more great music.
